Description

本発明は、ウスキサナギタケ(Cordyceps takaomontana)の菌株、ならびに当該菌株の培養物およびエキスに関する。   The present invention relates to strains of Cordyceps Takaomontana, and cultures and extracts of such strains.

従来、冬虫夏草と言えば、生薬の中国産コルジセプスシネシンス(Cordyceps sinensis)が最も有名である。その他にも、サナギタケ(コルジセプスミリタリス(Cordyceps militaris)やハナサナギタケ(Isaria japonica)が知られているが、冬虫夏草の種類は多く、世界中に約400種が、また日本国内でも300種以上が記録されている。最近の研究では、抗癌作用、特許文献1に示されるような、強心、降圧、鎮咳、及び抗疲労作用、特許文献2に示されるような強壮強精作用、また、特許文献3に示されるような血糖降下作用他、種々の薬効も報告されている。化合物では、抗菌作用を有するコルジセピン、心筋収縮抑制作用を有するN−(2−ヒドロキシエチル)−アデノシン(以後HEAと略す)(非特許文献1)および免疫抑制作用を有するミリオシン(Isaria sinclairii由来)等の成分も単離同定されている。 Traditionally speaking, Cordyceps sinensis, the herbal medicine, is most famous when it comes to cordyceps. In addition, sanagitake (Cordyceps militaris) and hanasanatake (Isaria japonica) are known, but there are many types of cordyceps, about 400 species all over the world, and over 300 species in Japan. In recent studies, anticancer activity, as shown in Patent Document 1, cardiotonic, antihypertensive, antitussive, and anti-fatigue effects, astonishing tonicity as shown in Patent Document 2, and patents Various medicinal effects have been reported in addition to the hypoglycemic action as shown in Reference 3. Among compounds, cordycepin having an antibacterial action, N 6- (2-hydroxyethyl) -adenosine having a myocardial contraction inhibitory action (hereinafter HEA) And other components such as myriocin (derived from Isaria sinclairii) having an immunosuppressive action have been isolated and identified.

しかしながら、採取物の薬理活性のばらつきは非常に大きく、安定した活性を期待することができない。また、冬虫夏草自体を天然から大量に入手することが非常に困難である。そこで、冬虫夏草の培養方法について、種々検討が行われている。薬理活性および含有成分の低下を防ぎ、大量に培養する方法としては、特許文献4に記載されているような培地中にさなぎ粉を含有する方法、特許文献5に記載されているような蚕の蛹組成成分を主成分とする方法、また、特許文献6に記載されているような冬虫夏草の寄生した同一種の昆虫の抽出エキスを培地に添加する方法などがあげられる。しかしながら、菌の状態は、同じ培地を用いても、環境因子に大きく影響されるため、培地組成を天然の冬虫夏草に類似させただけでは、薬理活性および含有成分を安定に維持することはできない。   However, the variation in pharmacological activity of the collected material is very large, and stable activity cannot be expected. Also, it is very difficult to obtain a large amount of cordyceps itself from nature. Accordingly, various studies have been conducted on the method for cultivating cordyceps. As a method for preventing a decrease in pharmacological activity and contained components and culturing in a large amount, a method of containing pupa flour in a medium as described in Patent Document 4, a method of rice cake as described in Patent Document 5 Examples thereof include a method comprising a cocoon composition component as a main component, and a method of adding an extract of an insect of the same species parasitic on cordyceps as described in Patent Document 6 to the medium. However, even if the same medium is used, the state of the fungus is greatly influenced by environmental factors. Therefore, the pharmacological activity and the contained components cannot be stably maintained only by making the medium composition similar to natural Cordyceps.

そこで、本発明者らは特許文献7に示すように、350〜550nmの波長域にピークをもつ光を照射することで冬虫夏草の薬理活性および含有成分を安定に維持する方法を見出した。この方法は、多くの株で安定な培養方法ではあるが、株本来の特性が失われるものではない。従って、生理活性および含有成分を保持し、安定な株を選ぶことは、培養方法を更に有意なものにする。

Therefore, the present inventors have found a method for stably maintaining the pharmacological activity and contained components of Cordyceps sinensis by irradiating light having a peak in the wavelength range of 350 to 550 nm as shown in Patent Document 7. Although this method is a stable culture method for many strains, the original characteristics of the strain are not lost. Therefore, selecting a stable strain that retains the physiological activity and the components contained makes the culture method more significant.

以下、本発明を詳述する。
まず、本発明の対象となる冬虫夏草菌株は、子嚢菌類(Ascomycota)、核菌網(Pyrenomycetes)、麦角菌目(Clavicipitales)、麦角菌科(ClavicipitalesまたはHypocreacea)に属し、完全世代と不完全世代とを有する微生物である。本発明の菌株はコルジセプス(Cordyceps)属の一種であるウスキサナギタケ(C.takaomontana)に属する。コルジセプス属ウスキサナギタケは、日本、台湾、中国、ネパール等に分布し、発生時期は3〜11月である。蛾の蛹、幼虫等に寄生して養分を摂取して増殖し、虫の死骸より子実体を発生する。
The present invention is described in detail below.
First, Cordyceps fungus strains that are the subject of the present invention belong to Ascomycota, Pyrenomycetes, Clavicipitales, Clavicipitales or Hypocreacea, complete generation and incomplete generation It is a microorganism having The strain of the present invention belongs to C. takaomontana which is a kind of the genus Cordyceps. Cordyceps spp. Is distributed in Japan, Taiwan, China, Nepal, etc., and the occurrence time is from March to November. Infested with moths, larvae, etc., ingested nutrients and proliferated, generating fruit bodies from insect corpses.

ウスキサナギタケは、自然界においては、蛾の蛹に寄生し、高さは1.5〜4cmで淡黄色、棍棒型の子実体を生じる。淡いシトロンイエローであり、結実部は上半部に生じ、わずかにふくらみのある円筒形である。発生時期は7〜9月で、日本、台湾に分布するが、発生はサナギタケより少ない。(「原色冬虫夏草図鑑」、清水大典著、誠文堂新光社、1994年)。上記の形態学的特徴に基づいて、採取した菌株を分類後、純粋分離し、評価および培養検討を行った(発明者自ら採取、同定した株も含む)。   In the natural world, Ussusanagitake is parasitic on the cocoon of the cocoon, and has a height of 1.5 to 4 cm and produces a light yellow, stick-shaped fruit body. It is a light citron yellow, and the fruiting part occurs in the upper half, and is a slightly swelled cylindrical shape. Occurrence time is from July to September, and it is distributed in Japan and Taiwan. ("Primary color caterpillar picture book", Daisuke Shimizu, Seikodo Shinkosha, 1994). Based on the above morphological characteristics, the collected strains were classified, then purely isolated, evaluated and cultured (including the strains collected and identified by the inventors themselves).

まず、ウスキサナギタケを固形培養し、抗菌活性を持つコルジセピンを生産する株を見出した。   First, a strain that solid-cultures Usxanagitake and produces cordycepin with antibacterial activity was found.

コルジセピンは液体培養では生産されず、固体培養で生産される。培地は、特に限定されるものではないが、糸状菌によく用いられるポテトデキストロースや麦芽エキス寒天培地などがあげられる。またコルジセピンの含有量は、栄養繁殖の過程において菌糸体に淡黄色から濃橙色の着色を呈する菌株において、含有量が高いことがわかった。   Cordycepin is not produced in liquid culture but in solid culture. The medium is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include potato dextrose and malt extract agar medium often used for filamentous fungi. In addition, it was found that the content of cordycepin is high in strains that display light yellow to dark orange color on mycelium in the process of vegetative propagation.

As a result, optimum growth was not observed at pH 4-8. Moreover, the pH range which can be grown was 3-10.

本発明のウスキサナギタケ菌株は、上記の形態学的特徴に基いて採取、分類後、純粋分離したものである。すなわち、本発明のウスキサナギタケ菌株は、栄養繁殖の過程において菌糸体に淡黄色から濃橙色の着色を呈することを特徴としている。   The Ususanagitake strain of the present invention is purely isolated after being collected, classified based on the above morphological characteristics. That is, the usxanagitake strain of the present invention is characterized in that the mycelium is colored from pale yellow to deep orange in the process of vegetative propagation.

更に、これらウスキサナギタケの菌株の遺伝子レベルでの特定を行うため、種の同定に用いられるITS領域(核リボソームDNAの内部転写スペーサー領域をさす)の塩基配列を、以下のようにして調べた。   Furthermore, in order to identify these strains of Usxanagitake at the gene level, the base sequence of the ITS region (pointing to the internal transcription spacer region of nuclear ribosomal DNA) used for species identification was examined as follows.

DNAは、凍結乾燥子実体、または、集菌した凍結乾燥菌糸体を使用して、酵素ProteinaseKとセチルトリメチルアンモニウムブロミド(CTAB)を使用して抽出をおこなった。次に、真菌類用の配列をもつPrimerを用いて、PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction)法により、ITS領域の増幅を行い、クローニングを行った。増幅には、シークエンス増幅機サーマルサイクラーを使用した。アガロース電気泳動により、増幅バンドを確認し、シークエンスサンプルとした。
シークエンス用反応液は、精製されたITS領域増幅産物を用いて作成し、シークエンス反応を行った。反応させたサンプルは、エタノール沈殿法やスピンカラム法等で精製し、シークエンスサンプルとした。
シークエンサーにより塩基配列を決定した。
最後に、データベースを利用して、調べたITS領域の塩基配列と相同性をもつ菌株の検索を行った。
DNA was extracted using freeze-dried fruit bodies or collected lyophilized mycelium using the enzymes Proteinase K and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Next, using a primer having a fungal sequence, the ITS region was amplified and cloned by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. For amplification, a sequence amplifier thermal cycler was used. The amplification band was confirmed by agarose electrophoresis, and used as a sequence sample.
A sequencing reaction solution was prepared using the purified ITS region amplification product and subjected to a sequencing reaction. The reacted sample was purified by an ethanol precipitation method, a spin column method, or the like, and used as a sequence sample.
The base sequence was determined with a sequencer.
Finally, using a database, strains having homology with the nucleotide sequence of the examined ITS region were searched.

以上のようにして、調べた塩基配列をデータベースにて検索した結果、データベース上の菌株とは、遺伝子の相同性が低く、本発明のウスキサナギタケは新株であることが判明した。   As described above, as a result of searching the examined nucleotide sequence in the database, it was found that the gene homology with the strains on the database is low, and the mussel from the present invention is a new strain.

したがって、本発明のウスキサナギタケ菌株は、染色体DNA上の核リボゾームRNAをコードする領域(核リボゾームDNA)のITS領域に、配列番号1の塩基配列が含有されることを特徴とする。   Therefore, the Usxanagitake strain of the present invention is characterized in that the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 is contained in the ITS region of the region (nuclear ribosomal DNA) encoding nuclear ribosomal RNA on the chromosomal DNA.

これらの株の中から、コルジセピン含量が高く、培養が安定しているCt1−2株について下記に示す薬効評価を行った。その結果、in vitro系による癌細胞の増殖抑制作用、神経細胞の分化誘導活性および抗疲労活性を有することがわかった。   Among these strains, Ct1-2 strain having a high cordycepin content and stable culture was evaluated for the efficacy shown below. As a result, it was found that they have cancer cell proliferation inhibitory action, neuronal differentiation-inducing activity and anti-fatigue activity by the in vitro system.

本発明のウスキサナギタケCt1−2菌株は、上記形態学的特徴と核リボゾームDNA中のITS領域の塩基配列を指標に自然界から採取することが可能である。なお、本発明のウスキサナギタケCt1−2菌株は、2003年8月27日に日本国茨城県つくば市東1丁目1番地1 中央第6の独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所特許生物寄託センター(IPOD)に受託番号FERM P−19501として寄託されている。   The Usxanagitake Ct1-2 strain of the present invention can be collected from nature using the above morphological characteristics and the base sequence of the ITS region in the nuclear ribosomal DNA as an index. In addition, Usuxanagitake Ct1-2 strain of the present invention was established on August 27, 2003 at 1-1-1 Higashi 1-chome, Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. 6th National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (IPOD) Is deposited under the accession number FERM P-19501.

以下、本発明で用いた生理活性および薬効評価の方法を示す。
まず、ウスキサナギタケ菌株の生理活性を評価するにあたり、以下の人工培養およびエキス抽出を行った。
ジャガイモ浸出液にグルコースを加えた液体培地で10〜14日間、静置培養し、得られた菌糸体を、遠心分離にて回収した。表面の培地成分を洗浄後、培養物を乾燥させた。乾燥培養物をエタノール水溶液に浸漬後、得られた抽出液を濃縮・乾燥後、以下の評価に使用した。
Hereinafter, the method of evaluating physiological activity and drug efficacy used in the present invention will be shown.
First, the following artificial culture and extract extraction were performed in evaluating the physiological activity of the Usxanagitake strain.
Static culture was performed for 10 to 14 days in a liquid medium in which glucose was added to potato exudate, and the mycelium obtained was collected by centrifugation. After washing the surface medium components, the culture was dried. After immersing the dried culture in an aqueous ethanol solution, the obtained extract was concentrated and dried, and then used for the following evaluation.

生理活性の評価は、抗菌活性を持つコルジセピンの含有量を中心に行い、in vitro系による癌細胞の増殖抑制作用および神経細胞の分化誘導活性、動物実験による抗疲労作用でも調べた。   The physiological activity was evaluated mainly by the content of cordycepin having antibacterial activity, and the in vitro system was also examined for cancer cell proliferation inhibitory activity, nerve cell differentiation-inducing activity, and anti-fatigue activity by animal experiments.

コルジセピンの含有量は、逆相系液体クロマトグラフィーを用いてエキス成分を分離し、エキス中のコルジセピン含有量を測定した。   For the content of cordycepin, the extract component was separated using reverse phase liquid chromatography, and the content of cordycepin in the extract was measured.

また、in vitro系による癌細胞の増殖抑制作用は、ヒト白血病細胞を用いた。ヒト白血病細胞HL−60は、前骨髄性白血病由来の癌細胞株(原ATCC株CCL−240、浮遊細胞)であり、好中球、マクロファージに分化できる能力を持ち、分化およびアポトーシス研究に多用される。この細胞をシャーレの中で静置培養し、前記抽出エキスを添加して、細胞に対する増殖抑制能について検討した。   Further, human leukemia cells were used for the cancer cell growth inhibitory action by the in vitro system. Human leukemia cell HL-60 is a promyelocytic leukemia-derived cancer cell line (original ATCC line CCL-240, floating cell), has the ability to differentiate into neutrophils and macrophages, and is frequently used for differentiation and apoptosis studies. The The cells were statically cultured in a petri dish, and the extract was added to investigate the ability of the cells to inhibit growth.

神経細胞の分化誘導活性は、以下のように調べた。
1321N1アストロサイトーマ細胞はグリア細胞の一種であるアストロサイトが癌化したものであり、アストロサイトと同様に外部からの刺激により神経栄養因子を分泌する。また、神経細胞のモデル細胞であるPC−12細胞は、ラット副腎髄質由来褐色細胞腫より樹立された細胞株(親クロム細胞腫細胞)であり、神経成長因子(NGF)に応答して神経突起を伸展し、神経細胞様に変化する。1321N1アストロサイトーマ細胞をシャーレに分注し、翌日細胞が容器に付着したことを確認し、前記抽出エキスを添加した。2日後その培養上清を取り、あらかじめ培養しておいたPC−12細胞の培養用培地と交換した。PC−12細胞を培養上清で培養後、位相差顕微鏡により形態観察を行い、その分化の程度を評価した。
The neuronal differentiation-inducing activity was examined as follows.
The 1321N1 astrocytoma cell is a cancerous type of astrocyte, which is a type of glial cell, and secretes neurotrophic factors by external stimuli in the same manner as astrocytes. PC-12 cells, which are model cells of nerve cells, are cell lines (parent chromocytoma cells) established from rat adrenal medulla-derived pheochromocytoma, and respond to nerve growth factor (NGF) to neurites. Extends and changes like a neuron. 1321N1 astrocytoma cells were dispensed into a petri dish, and the next day, it was confirmed that the cells adhered to the container, and the extract was added. Two days later, the culture supernatant was taken and replaced with a culture medium for PC-12 cells that had been cultured in advance. After culturing PC-12 cells in the culture supernatant, the morphology was observed with a phase contrast microscope to evaluate the degree of differentiation.
