Description

Lactobacillus brevis HY7401 having protective effect against colitis and products containing none as effective component}

The present invention relates to a novel Lactobacillus brevis HY7401 having an effect of preventing the occurrence of colitis and a pharmaceutical composition, fermented milk, beverages and health functional foods containing the same as an active ingredient, more specifically lipopolysaccharide (inflammation inducer) Experimental animal model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (hereinafter referred to as 'DSS') by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide generated by the treatment of lipopolysaccharide (hereinafter referred to as 'LPS') Inhibits myeloperoxidase activity, inhibits proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β and IL-6 protein expression, and is a transcription factor involved in the expression of inflammatory cytokines. Lactobacillus brevis HY, which inhibits and inhibits NF-κB activity, increases the activity of IκBα, which is effective in treating and / or preventing colitis. 7401 and pharmaceutical compositions, fermented milk, beverages and health functional foods containing the same as active ingredients.

The causes of inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease are not clearly identified, but are suspected to be dysregulation of intestinal immune responses to antigens such as enterobacteriaceae. do. Inflammatory bowel disease often occurs in the ileum and large intestine, where there are many intestinal microflora. Inflammatory bowel disease is unlikely to occur in germ-free animals, meaning that the intestinal bacterial flora plays an important role in the development and persistence of colorectal inflammation. Treatment of ulcerative colitis generally uses anti-inflammatory drugs, abdominal pain medications, anti-diarrheal drugs, and neuro-stabilizers, but only symptomatic relief is difficult and cannot be cured. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as steroids (prednisolone), can reduce the ulcer area, but rarely relapse when administered alone or in combination. The most commonly used and most effective drug is sulfasalazine, which is known to be effective in induction and maintenance. The effectiveness of antibiotics over anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of ulcerative colitis suggests that the intestinal bacterial flora plays a large role in the development of colitis. Nevertheless, there is not much research on this.

Normal intestinal flora is composed of about 500 kinds of bacteria and is present in the ileum and large intestine. The gut flora produces harmful toxins such as Gram-positive bacteria, endotoxins, and harmful enzymes such as β-glucuronidase and tryptophanase, which produce cytotoxic or carcinogens. Cytotoxins and endotoxins are potential stimulators of the innate immune response and secrete proinflammatory cytokines in colonic epithelial cells, leading to inflammatory bowel disease. Biosynthesis of extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans is increased in the intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Lactobacillus has been known as a safe microorganism, Lactobacillus shows the effects of maintaining the normal intestinal flora, improving the intestinal flora, antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects, inhibiting carcinogenesis, colitis, and nonspecific activity of the host immune system.

On the other hand, lactic acid bacteria are widely distributed in human oral cavity, intestine, vagina, feces and the like. Therefore, a method of obtaining lactic acid bacteria having desired properties by separating the lactic acid bacteria and testing the properties thereof has been performed, and in particular, a method of separating the lactic acid bacteria from feces has been usefully used. Accordingly, the present inventors have separated and tested the lactobacillus from feces of Korean adults in order to isolate a strain suitable for producing fermentation products suitable for Korean physiology in consideration of maximizing the useful effect of lactic acid bacteria in relation to host specificity, ethanol and acetaldehyde Lactobacillus brevis HY7401, a new lactic acid bacterium with very high degrading enzyme activity and excellent ability to reduce ethanol and acetaldehyde, was found and registered in Korean Patent No. 0435115 (name of invention: ethanol and acetaldehyde degrading enzyme activity and reduction). (Lactic Acid Bacteria with excellent ability) has been patented, and in addition, the present inventors newly discovered that the microorganism has the therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy of colitis such as inhibiting the production of nitric oxide and inhibiting myeloperoxidase activity to complete the present invention. It became.

The present invention inhibits the production of nitric oxide produced by the treatment of LPS, an inflammation inducing agent, inhibits myeloperoxidase activity in a DSS-induced colitis experimental animal model, and is an proinflammatory cytokine IL- inflammatory marker of colitis. Lactobacillus brevis HY7401, which inhibits protein expression of 1β and IL-6, increases NF-κB activity, a transcription factor involved in the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and increases IκBα activity, an inhibitor, to treat and prevent colitis. It is an object to provide a pharmaceutical composition, fermented milk, beverages and health functional foods containing the same as an active ingredient.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention inhibits the production of nitric oxide generated by the treatment of LPS, an inflammation inducing agent, inhibits myeloperoxidase activity in the DSS-induced colitis experimental animal model, Treatment of colitis by inhibiting protein expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6, inflammatory markers, inhibiting NF-κB activity, a transcription factor involved in inflammatory cytokine expression, and increasing IκBα activity, an inhibitor Lactobacillus brevis HY7401 having a prophylactic effect and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same as an active ingredient, fermented milk, beverages and health functional foods.

RAW264.7 cells were obtained from Korea Cell Line Bank and cultured at 5% CO ₂ , 37 ℃ using DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and L-glutamine (glutamine). And two to three per week were passaged.

Nitric Oxide Measurement

Pro-inflammatory substance, nitric oxide is an important substance in mediating rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, and uveitis, such as inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases as the immune response indicator, superoxide ^- reacts with ^{peroxynitrite anion (ONOO -) (O} 2) to form a Causes oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, DNA and sulfhydryl groups (-SH). Peroxynitrite anion produced at this time causes nitration of tyrosine as a toxic oxidant to produce nitrotyrosine and alters the structure and function of proteins. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of nitric oxide production was measured by the following method to confirm the effect of inhibiting colitis.

Lactobacillus brevis HY7401 was incubated for 16 hours in a GAM liquid medium (Nissui, Japan), centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes, and then the supernatant was removed. Then, potassium phosphate buffer (PBS) was added to the precipitate from which the supernatant had been removed, sonicated and crushed, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes, and then each divided into a supernatant and a precipitate (suspended in 1 ml PBS) 100 times. Diluted to use as a sample. RAW 264.7 cells were dispensed in a 24-well plate at 6 × 10 ⁵ cells / ml, and treated with 100 μl of the sample and placed in a final LPS concentration of 1 μg / ml. Then, the mixture was left for 24 hours in a CO ₂ incubator and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes. Put the centrifuged supernatant and Griess reagent in the same amount into a multiwell plate, and leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes, measure absorbance at 540 nm, and prepare a standard curve using sodium nitrate as a standard.
