Description

Coprococcus eutactus strain, and endoplasmic reticulum derived therefrom, and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial uses thereof

It relates to novel microorganisms, their lysates, cultures, extracts of cultures, endoplasmic reticulum and their anti-inflammatory and/or antibacterial uses.

Microbiome refers to microorganisms that exist in a specific environment and their entire genetic information, and refers to a collection of genomes that refer to the entire genetic information of a single organism. Therefore, the human microbiome refers to microorganisms living inside and outside the human body and their entire genetic information.

The human body lives in a symbiotic relationship with many microorganisms, and in particular, the intestine contains the most microorganisms as an optimal environment for the microorganisms to take in nutrients and form a systematic community. Intestinal microorganisms provide nutrients that cannot be produced by the host’s enzymes alone and are deeply related to the host’s metabolism and immune system. It has been reported to be associated with

Recently, due to Western eating habits and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, the intestinal microbiota is imbalanced and intestinal health is deteriorating. .

On the other hand, the endoplasmic reticulum is a nano-sized material of about 20 to 200 nm produced and discharged by cells, and it is free to move between cells. In addition, it is known that the endoplasmic reticulum contains membrane lipids, membrane proteins, DNA or RNA, and the like, and these genetic materials act as a complex to deliver toxic factors between cells and regulate inflammation and immune response. From unicellular organisms to multicellular organisms, information exchange between cells is an essential process of life phenomena, and recently, the endoplasmic reticulum has been recognized as a medium for information exchange between cells, so methods for using the vesicle as a drug carrier have been developed.

Accordingly, there is a need for the development of substances for improving, preventing, or treating diseases using novel microorganisms derived from the human intestine and endoplasmic reticulum derived therefrom.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the endoplasmic reticulum of the strain according to one embodiment significantly reduces the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF increased by Clostridioides difficile toxin B, and Clostridioides difficile toxin B It was found that the amount of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 reduced by the significantly increased compared to the standard strain. In particular, it was confirmed that the standard strain showed little effect to decrease TNF and increase IL-10.

These results show that the strain and/or endoplasmic reticulum derived therefrom according to one embodiment has significant anti-inflammatory activity, Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), or prevention, improvement, and improvement of irritable bowel syndrome resulting therefrom; Or it means that it can be usefully used for treatment.
