Description

本発明は、クロイツフェルト・ヤコブ病、ウシ海綿状脳症など異常プリオン蛋白質に係るプリオン病発症予防剤とそれを含む食品添加剤及び飼料添加剤に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a prion disease onset preventive agent related to abnormal prion proteins such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and a food additive and a feed additive containing the same.

ヒトのクロイツフェルト・ヤコブ病(CJD:Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease)、ゲルストマン・ストロイスラー・シャインカー症候群(GSS:Gerstmann−Staussler−Scheinker Syndrome)、動物のスクレイピーやウシ海綿状脳症(狂牛病、BSE:Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy)や慢性消耗性疾患(CWD:Chronic Wasting Disease)などのプリオン病は、プリオンと呼ばれる感染性の異常プリオン蛋白質により中枢神経系が障害されて発症するとされる神経疾患であり、これまでに有効な治療方法や予防方法が見いだされていない。   Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Steisler-Scheinker syndrome (GSJ), animal scrapie and bovine spongiform disease B Prion diseases such as Spongform Encephalopathy (CWD) and chronic wasting disease (CWD) are neurological diseases that are caused by damage to the central nervous system due to an infectious abnormal prion protein called prion. No effective treatment or prevention method has been found.

異常プリオン蛋白質による感染の様式は、詳細には判明していないが、異常プリオン蛋白質は蛋白質でありながら一般的な高圧滅菌、乾燥滅菌によってもその感染性がなくなることがなく、ホルマリンやアルコールなどによって変性不活化されない。従って、現状では異常プリオン蛋白質の増殖を抑えることによってのみ治療や予防が可能であり、これまでにペントサンポリサルフェート、キニーネ類、ライソゾーム親和性薬剤、リアクティブ・ダイ(リアクティブ・グリ−ン、リアクティブ・レッド)〔例えば、特許文献1参照〕、ロイシン、イソロイシン、バリンなど分岐鎖を有する必須アミノ酸、またはトレハロース〔例えば、特許文献2参照〕、キノリン誘導体、またはナフチリジン誘導体〔例えば、特許文献3参照〕などを異常プリオン蛋白質増殖抑制剤として用いることが報告されている。   The type of infection caused by abnormal prion protein is not known in detail, but abnormal prion protein is a protein, but its infectivity is not lost by general high-pressure sterilization or dry sterilization. Denatured and inactivated. Therefore, at present, treatment and prevention are possible only by suppressing the growth of abnormal prion protein. To date, pentosan polysulfate, quinine, lysosomal affinity drugs, reactive dye (reactive green, Active red) (for example, see Patent Document 1), essential amino acids having a branched chain such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine, or trehalose (for example, see Patent Document 2), quinoline derivatives, or naphthyridine derivatives (for example, see Patent Document 3). And the like have been reported to be used as abnormal prion protein growth inhibitors.

一方、本発明は、フコイダンを異常プリオン蛋白質増殖抑制剤として用いることを提案している。フコイダンは、コンブ、ワカメ、モズクなど海藻のヌメリ成分の一つであり、構造としてフコースに硫酸基が結合し、これが数多く連結した硫酸化多糖類である。これまで、フコイダンには、がんの予防としてのアポトーシス誘発剤〔例えば、特許文献4参照〕、創傷治癒促進などの細胞増殖促進剤〔例えば、特許文献5参照〕、免疫強化剤〔例えば、特許文献6参照〕、高脂血症の予防治療剤〔例えば、特許文献7参照〕、悪酔いや二日酔いの予防改善剤〔例えば、特許文献8参照〕、皮膚の弾性維持向上、皮膚肥厚改善を行うコラーゲン産生増強剤〔例えば、特許文献9参照〕などの医薬品として、さらに体重抑制効果と脂肪組織重量、血清中性脂質(トリグリセリド)、低密度リポタンパク、全コレステロール含量を減らす健康食品〔例えば、特許文献10参照〕、血清中の全コレステロール、中性脂肪を低下させ、HDL−コレステロールを増加させ、さらに有用腸内細菌を増加させ便秘解消、美肌促進の効果を有する機能性食品〔例えば、特許文献11参照〕などの提案があり、医薬品、健康食品としての用途開発が期待されている。   On the other hand, the present invention proposes to use fucoidan as an abnormal prion protein growth inhibitor. Fucoidan is one of the seaweed slime components such as kombu, wakame, mozuku, and is a sulfated polysaccharide with many sulfate groups bonded to fucose as a structure. So far, fucoidan has been used as an apoptosis inducer for preventing cancer (see, for example, Patent Document 4), a cell growth promoting agent for promoting wound healing (see, for example, Patent Document 5), and an immune enhancer (for example, a patent). Reference 6], preventive and therapeutic agent for hyperlipidemia [see, for example, Patent Document 7], preventive / improving agent for hangover and hangover [see, for example, Patent Document 8], collagen for maintaining skin elasticity and improving skin thickening As a pharmaceutical product such as a production enhancer [see, for example, Patent Document 9], further, body weight suppression effect and adipose tissue weight, serum neutral lipid (triglyceride), low density lipoprotein, health food that reduces total cholesterol content [for example, Patent Document 10), lowering total cholesterol and neutral fat in serum, increasing HDL-cholesterol, and further increasing useful intestinal bacteria, relieving constipation, Functional food [for example, see Patent Document 11] having an effect of skin accelerator has proposed such as pharmaceuticals, the use and development of the health food is expected.

〔抗プリオン効果のin vitro評価〕
表1に示した低分子画分フコイダン粉末(L−FK粉末)及び高分子画分フコイダン粉末(H−FK粉末)につき、プリオン持続感染細胞を用いるIshikawa,Doh−uraらの検定評価法〔Kensuke Ishikawa,Katsumi Doh−ura,et al.,Journal of General Virology(2004),Vol.85,pp1785−1790〕に準じ、抗プリオン効果のin vitro評価を行った。ここでは、プリオン持続感染細胞として、ScN2a細胞:スクレイピープリオンであるRML株が持続感染した神経芽細胞腫細胞(N2a)、及びF−3細胞:GSS患者由来プリオンである福岡1株が持続感染したマウス型プリオン蛋白を過剰発現した神経芽細胞腫細胞(N2a#58)、の2種類の細胞を用い、それぞれコンフルエントに生えた細胞数の10分の1を新たなフラスコ内に継代する際に、L−FK粉末、又はH−FK粉末の水溶液を以下に示す各種濃度となるよう培養液に加え、3.5日間培養した。培地(培養液)として、10%胎児牛血清添加MEM(Opti−MEM、Gibco−BRL社製)を用い、L−FK又はH−FKの培養液中添加濃度は、1、2.5、5、7.5、10μg/mL、又は、0.01、0.1、1、10、100μg/mLとした。次に、それぞれコンフルエントとなった細胞をリン酸緩衝生理食塩液(PBS)で洗浄した後、細胞溶解バッファー〔0.5%ポリオキシエチレン−p−オクチルフェノール(商品名NP−40)及び0.5%デオキシコール酸ナトリウム添加PBS〕で細胞を溶解し、溶解液を軽遠心して核酸成分を除いた後に、プロティナーゼK(proteinase K)を10μg/mLとなるように加え、37℃で30分間消化した。この消化液にフェニルメタンスルホニルフルオライド(PMSF)を0.001Mとなるように加え酵素反応を止めた。その後、超遠心(415000×g、4℃、30分間)にて異常型プリオン蛋白を沈査として回収し、ウエスタンブロット法にてプリオン蛋白を解析した。ウエスタンブロット法による試験結果は、ScN2a細胞を用いた場合についてドデシル硫酸ナトリウム加ポリアクリルアミドゲル電気泳動(SDS−PAGE)の泳動像を図1に、F−3細胞を用いた場合についてのSDS−PAGE泳動像を図2に示したとおり、L−FK、H−FK共に、培地への添加濃度に依存して異常型プリオン蛋白の産生を阻害することが確認された。また、異常型プリオン蛋白の産生を50%阻害する濃度(IC50)を求め、この結果を表2に示した。
[In vitro evaluation of anti-prion effect]
For the low molecular fraction fucoidan powder (L-FK powder) and the high molecular fraction fucoidan powder (H-FK powder) shown in Table 1, the assay evaluation method [Kensuke of Ishikawa, Doh-ura et al. Ishikawa, Katsumi Doh-ura, et al. , Journal of General Virology (2004), Vol. 85, pp 1785-1790], an in vitro evaluation of the anti-prion effect was performed. Here, as a prion persistently infected cell, ScN2a cell: neuroblastoma cell (N2a) persistently infected with RML strain which is scrapie prion, and F-3 cell: Fukuoka 1 strain which is a prion derived from GSS patient were persistently infected. When two types of cells, neuroblastoma cells (N2a # 58) overexpressing mouse prion protein, are used, and 1/10 of the number of confluent cells is subcultured into a new flask. Then, an aqueous solution of L-FK powder or H-FK powder was added to the culture solution so as to have various concentrations shown below, followed by culturing for 3.5 days. As a medium (culture solution), 10% fetal calf serum-added MEM (Opti-MEM, manufactured by Gibco-BRL) was used, and the concentration of L-FK or H-FK added in the culture solution was 1, 2.5, 5 7.5, 10 μg / mL, or 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μg / mL. Next, after each confluent cell was washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), cell lysis buffer [0.5% polyoxyethylene-p-octylphenol (trade name NP-40) and 0.5 The cells were lysed with PBS containing% sodium deoxycholate], and the lysate was lightly centrifuged to remove nucleic acid components, and then proteinase K (proteinase K) was added to 10 μg / mL and digested at 37 ° C. for 30 minutes. . To this digested solution, phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) was added to a concentration of 0.001 M to stop the enzymatic reaction. Thereafter, the abnormal prion protein was recovered as a precipitate by ultracentrifugation (415000 × g, 4 ° C., 30 minutes), and the prion protein was analyzed by Western blotting. The results of the Western blot test are shown in Fig. 1 for the electrophoresis of sodium dodecyl sulfate-added polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) when using ScN2a cells, and SDS-PAGE when using F-3 cells. As shown in FIG. 2, it was confirmed that both L-FK and H-FK inhibit the production of abnormal prion protein depending on the concentration added to the medium. Further, the concentration (IC50) that inhibits the production of abnormal prion protein by 50% was determined, and the results are shown in Table 2.

Here, H-FK powder was added to and mixed with 263K brain homogenate adjusted to 1% (W / V) with physiological saline, and 0.02, 0.2, 2, 20, and 200 (μg / 20 μL), respectively. Infectious material having an H-FK concentration of 20 μL was administered into the brain of Tg7 mice at a time to cause infection in the brain. Tg7 mice were adjusted to have approximately the same number of males and females in each group at 8 weeks of age or older, and the incubation period from brain infection until death was measured. The results are as shown in Table 3 and FIG. In addition, as a result of performing a multiple comparison test by one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and Tukey-Kramer method (Tukey-Kramer method), a group in which fucoidan (H-FK) was added and mixed at 200 μg / 20 μL was a control group It was confirmed that the incubation period was significantly prolonged (p <0.05) compared to.

〔抗プリオン効果のin vivo評価(I−2)〕
感染材料として、1%263K脳ホモジネートに替えて、生理食塩水で0.1%(W/V)濃度とした263K脳ホモジネート(0.1%263K脳ホモジネート)を用い、H−FK粉末を添加混合し、室温にて一晩放置した後、Tg7マウスに脳内感染させた以外は、抗プリオン効果のin vivo評価(I−1)の場合と同様にin vivo評価を行った。この結果は、表4及び図4に示すとおりである。また、一元配置分散分析(one−way ANOVA)及びチュキィ−クレイマー法による多重比較検定を行った結果、フコイダン(H−FK)を200μg/20μL添加混合した群は、対照群やフコイダン(H−FK)を0.02μg/20μL添加混合した群に比して有意(p<0.01)な潜伏期間延長を示すことが確認された。
[In vivo evaluation of anti-prion effect (I-2)]
Instead of 1% 263K brain homogenate, 263K brain homogenate (0.1% 263K brain homogenate) with physiological saline was used instead of 1% 263K brain homogenate, and H-FK powder was added. After mixing and allowing to stand overnight at room temperature, in vivo evaluation was performed in the same manner as in in vivo evaluation of anti-prion effect (I-1) except that Tg7 mice were infected in the brain. The results are as shown in Table 4 and FIG. In addition, as a result of conducting a one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and a multiple comparison test by the Tukey-Kramer method, a group in which 200 μg / 20 μL of fucoidan (H-FK) was added and mixed was a control group or fucoidan (H-FK ) Was confirmed to show a significant (p <0.01) incubation period extension as compared to the group added with 0.02 μg / 20 μL.

〔抗プリオン効果のin vivo評価(II)〕
マウス飼育用の一般粉末飼料(MF、オリエンタル酵母工業社製)に、2.5%、5%、10%(W/W)となるように飼料添加剤としてフコイダン(H−FK粉末)を添加混合しフコイダン添加飼料を調製した。また、生理食塩水で10%(W/V)濃度とした263K脳ホモジネート(10%263K脳ホモジネート)200μLを経口ゾンデを用い、Tg7マウスの胃内に投与することにより経口感染させた。このような経口感染モデルマウスに対し、(i)経口感染直前までの6日間、又は(ii)経口感染直後より6日間、各濃度のフコイダン添加飼料を餌として与えた。フコイダン無添加飼料を餌として与えた対照を含めて、一匹あたりの一日餌摂取量は4〜6gであった。Tg7マウスは8週齢以上で各群内で雌雄がほぼ同数となるように調整し、経口感染から死亡するまでの潜伏期間を測定した。この結果は、表5及び図5に示すとおりである。また、一元配置分散分析(one−way ANOVA)及びチュキィ−クレイマー法による多重比較検定を行った結果、経口感染後にフコイダン添加飼料を経口摂取した群は、対照(フコイダン非摂取)群や感染前摂取群に比して有意(p<0.01)な潜伏期間延長を示すことが確認された。なお、フコイダン経口摂取量(2.5%、5%、10%)の間に有意差は認められなかった。
[In vivo evaluation of anti-prion effect (II)]
Add fucoidan (H-FK powder) as feed additive to general powdered feed for mice breeding (MF, manufactured by Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.) to be 2.5%, 5%, 10% (W / W) A mixed feed containing fucoidan was prepared. Further, 200 μL of 263K brain homogenate (10% 263K brain homogenate) adjusted to a concentration of 10% (W / V) with physiological saline was used for oral infection by administration into the stomach of Tg7 mice using an oral sonde. Such oral infection model mice were fed with diets supplemented with fucoidan at various concentrations for (i) 6 days immediately before oral infection, or (ii) 6 days immediately after oral infection. Including the control fed with fucoidan-free diet, the daily food intake per animal was 4-6 g. Tg7 mice were 8 weeks of age or older and adjusted so that there were approximately the same number of males and females in each group, and the incubation period from oral infection to death was measured. The results are as shown in Table 5 and FIG. In addition, as a result of performing a multiple comparison test by one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and the Tukey-Kramer method, the group that orally ingested the fucoidan-added feed after oral infection is the control (no fucoidan ingestion) group or the pre-infection intake It was confirmed to show a significant (p <0.01) latency period extension compared to the group. There was no significant difference between fucoidan oral intake (2.5%, 5%, 10%).
