ID-CBT5101 < / RTI > having an arthritis prevention and treatment effect and an application thereof (ID-CBT5101)

The present invention relates to the use of Clostridium butyricum Tyndallizate (ID-CBT5101) and its use for preventing and treating arthritis. More specifically, the present invention relates to a biomarker of arthritis, COX-2 and inflammatory cytokine A composition for preventing and treating arthritis comprising tinctured Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 dead cells and an effective ingredient thereof, which contributes to prevent arthritis and alleviate symptoms by lowering the level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) .

Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common inflammatory arthritis associated with synovial hyperplasia of the joints and bone and cartilage destruction is a symptom. Although the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is not clear, there are many reports that cyclin expression in synovial membrane models or synovial membranes in rheumatoid arthritis patients has been reported, and that inhibition of these cytokines prevents arthritis symptoms, physical findings, and joint destruction Cytokines are thought to play an important role in the onset and persistence of the disease. The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is unclear and various models have been proposed. The major mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis are antigen - specific and antigen - nonspecific. In the case of antigen-specific mechanism, the causative T cell antigen is not known yet, but it is presumed that it is caused by virus or bacteria. Antigen presenting cell (APC) is a class II major histochmpatibility complex, MHC) to provide T cells with an arthritogenic peptide to activate T cells and to stimulate macrophages by activating T cells cross-reacting with self-antigens, It starts.

The development of arthritis of the antigen-nonspecific mechanism is accompanied by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) produced from macrophages activated and activated by synovial macrophages by nonspecific stimulation such as repeated infections, tissue damage, allergies, And granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induced differentiation of dendritic cells. Differentiated dendritic cells function as powerful antigen-presenting cells and transmit autoantigen to autoreactive T cells T cells are stimulated and arthritis begins. Cytokines produced by synovial membrane after arthritis induction and acting as paracrine or autocrine are known to be involved in the persistence and aggravation of chronic joint inflammation. The expression of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, GM-CSF and IL-8 has been demonstrated in rheumatoid arthritis and synovial fluid. β and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and soluble TNFR, but the production of these inflammatory regulators is not sufficient to neutralize the action of inflammatory cytokines . Therefore, it can be assumed that rheumatoid arthritis will persist and worsen due to the imbalance in the production of inflammatory substances including inflammatory cytokines and antiinflammatory substances. There have been efforts to treat and ameliorate the inflammatory autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, through intestinal immunization, and there have been studies using probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria to control the immune system.

In a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis, consumption of Lactobacillus casei was effective in inhibiting arthritis (Life Science, 1998; 63 (8): 635-644) and in an animal model of arthritis using Lewis rat, It has been reported that ingestion of Bacillus rhamnosus GG is effective in inhibiting arthritis (Journal of Nutrition, 2004; 134 (8); 1964-1969). In previous studies, it has been known that the efficacy of lactic acid bacteria after ingestion of live cells is that a certain number of live bacteria should be attached to the intestines to maintain immunostimulation at a certain level. However, lactic acid bacteria are killed by stomach acid and bile acid attack while passing through the gastrointestinal tract, and tend to be below the concentration that can stimulate the intestinal immune system. Therefore, overdose of lactic acid bacteria in accordance with the focus on the ability to adhere lowers the economic efficiency.

In addition, most of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a problem that the administration of NSAID-based anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics in order to reduce the pain response due to arthritis is limited to achieve the desired purpose because the drug is killed by the combination of lactic acid bacteria and live bacteria .

Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have completed a tyndallization method capable of maximizing the anti-inflammatory action of Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 in order to solve the administration problems of the above-mentioned prior studies, The inventors of the present invention have completed the present invention by confirming that the dead cells of tidium butyricum IDCC 5101 exhibit arthritis-mitigating effect in a concentration-dependent manner in an animal model test of rheumatoid arthritis.

The present invention also provides a bacterium of tincta clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 (accession number: KCTC12738BP) having an arthritis preventive and therapeutic effect.

The most commonly used method in the sterilization process is sterilization at 121 ° C for 15 minutes at high temperature and high pressure. However, a method that can be used to sterilize a subject that can not withstand sterilization under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions is the tin-meal sterilization method. As used herein, the term " tin metarization " means a condition in which the bacteria have been killed by the tin-meal sterilization method commonly used in the art.

The inventors of the present invention have found that when trastamylating Clostridium butyricum, excellent arthritis preventive and therapeutic effects are exhibited, and since the extractability is different from the cells of the substance exhibiting the anti-inflammatory effect according to the tincture conditions, The antitumor effect was optimized by evaluating the antinflammatory effects of the thymidylation temperature condition and the pressurization condition in order to produce dead cells of T. dolomatis Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 which was optimized for prevention and treatment.

That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the present inventors maintained the temperature of the crystallization temperature at 90 ° C, 100 ° C, 110 ° C and 121 ° C respectively for 10 minutes, cooled again to 50 ° C, The mixture was allowed to stand for 5 minutes under pressure, followed by cooling to 40 DEG C to obtain trimellitium butyricum (Example 2).

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the anti-inflammatory effect of tinctured Clostridium butyricum at the respective temperature conditions was evaluated through COX-2 inhibition. As a result, it was found that Clostridium butyricum, The effect was most excellent (Example 3). The cells that had been killed by clathridinium butyricum at 90 ° C, 100 ° C, and 110 ° C were not excellent in COX-2 inhibition as compared to Clostridium butyricum cells that had been tinctured at 121 ° C. This is probably due to the formation of favorable conditions in which Clostridium butyricum is fragmented and becomes smaller in size and sterilized under conditions of high pressure and high temperature, and a substance exhibiting an anti-inflammatory effect can be reacted.

 As a result of evaluating the influences of inflammatory cytokine and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion of macrophages of Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 cells cultured at 121 ° C, it was found that the tinctured Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 was a positive control substance It was confirmed that it acts to directly inhibit the secretion of inflammatory cytokine TNF-a as in dexamethasone (Example 4). In addition, the administration of the tinctured Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 cells to the arthritis animal model for 4 weeks showed that the arthritic symptoms were significantly alleviated from the 6th day after arthritis induction, and the positive control (Example 5), which was 1.5 times more effective than the green lipped mussel extract-treated group. In addition, the hind paws of the experimental animals were evaluated for joint pathology. As a result, the synovial membrane proliferation and infiltration of inflammatory cells were markedly decreased in the group treated with the trinitized Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 cells It was confirmed that the effect of alleviating the symptoms of arthritis was excellent (Example 5).

In the present invention, the vitrification means that the bacteria are killed at a temperature of 111 to 150 ° C, preferably 111 to 150 ° C, 112 to 150 ° C, 113 to 150 ° C, 114 to 150 ° C, 117-150 ° C, 118-150 ° C, 119-150 ° C, 111-145 ° C, 112-145 ° C, 113-145 ° C, 114-145 ° C, 115-145 ° C, 116-145 ° C, 117-145 ° C, 114-140 ° C, 115-140 ° C, 116-140 ° C, 117-140 ° C, 118-140 ° C, 118-145 ° C, 119-145 ° C, 111-140 ° C, 112-140 ° C, 113-140 ° C, 119-140 ° C, 111-135 ° C, 112-135 ° C, 113-135 ° C, 114-135 ° C, 115-135 ° C, 116-135 ° C, 117-135 ° C, 118-135 ° C, 111-130 ° C, 112-130 ° C, 113-130 ° C, 114-130 ° C, 115-130 ° C, 116-130 ° C, 117-130 ° C, 118-130 ° C, The cells are autoclaved at 125 ° C, 112 to 125 ° C, 113 to 125 ° C, 114 to 125 ° C, 115 to 125 ° C, 116 to 125 ° C or 117 to 125 ° C, and most preferably 118 to 125 ° C, But is not limited thereto.

On the other hand, when the temperature of the deguming is less than 111 DEG C, the flaky cells are not sufficiently segmented to form a favorable condition for exhibiting the anti-inflammatory effect, and when the temperature is above 150 DEG C, Since the active ingredient of the cells does not exhibit an anti-inflammatory effect due to denaturation, the setting of the temperature condition of thymolization is very important in the production of Clostridium butyricum ICDD 5101 dead cells showing anti-inflammatory effect.

In addition, in the present invention, the tin metarization means that bacteria are killed under the pressurization condition, and the pressurization means that additional pressure is applied based on the atmospheric pressure of 1 atm. That is, the pressurization condition in the present invention means that a pressure of 0.1 to 1.3 kgf / cm ² is additionally applied based on the atmospheric pressure of 1 atm, preferably 0.2 to 1.3 kgf / cm ² , 0.3 ^{~ 1.3 kgf / cm 2, 0.4} ~ 1.3 kgf / cm 2, 0.5 ~ 1.3 kgf / cm 2, 0.6 ~ 1.3 kgf / cm 2, 0.7 ~ 1.3 kgf / cm 2, 0.8 ~ 1.3 kgf / cm 2, 0.2 ~ 1.2 ^{kgf / cm 2, 0.3 ~ 1.2} kgf / cm 2, 0.4 ~ 1.2 kgf / cm 2, 0.5 ~ 1.2 kgf / cm 2, 0.6 ~ 1.2 kgf / cm 2, 0.7 ~ 1.2 kgf / cm 2, or 0.8 ~ 1.2 kgf / cm < ² >, and most preferably 0.9 to 1.1 kgf / cm < ² >, but not limited thereto.

On the other hand, when the thymolization pressure is less than 0.1 kgf / cm < ² >, the flaky cells are not sufficiently segmented to provide a favorable condition for exhibiting the anti-inflammatory effect, ² , the active ingredients of the dead cells do not exhibit anti-inflammatory effects due to the denaturation of the active ingredients of the dead cells. Therefore, in the case of preparing clostridium butyricum ICDD 5101 dead cells showing the anti- It is very important.

In the present invention, the cell suspension of Clostridium difficile IDCC 5101 may be characterized in that it inhibits the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in macrophages, thereby having the effect of preventing and treating arthritis have.

Arthritis is a typical chronic inflammatory disease, which is caused by a number of cytokines in the body. Inflammatory reactions are caused by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). TNF-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Clinically, overproduced TNF-α produces inflammatory mediators that stimulate macrophages in arthritic patients to amplify the inflammatory response and cause adhesion molecules to be expressed in vascular endothelial cells. And fibroblasts produce proteolytic enzymes that damage cartilage, bones, ligaments, and aggravate the disease. In addition, TNF-α increases the expression of adhesion molecules such as vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin in vascular endothelial cells, TNF-α, TNF-α, and TNF-α in the synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with anti-TNF-α antibody, the number of T lymphocytes decreased and the expression of VCAM- It is known that alpha plays an important role. In addition, TNF-α promotes the production of PG by increasing expression of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) or microsomal PGE2 synthase (mPGES) involved in the production of prostaglandin It promotes the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), an enzyme involved in the production of nitric oxide (NO), an inflammatory substance. In addition, TNF-α acts on synovial fibroblasts to promote cell proliferation, leading to synovial hyperplasia and fibrosis.

As described above, inhibiting the expression of TNF-a may be a key to the treatment strategy of arthritis. The inventors of the present invention have found that the bacterium of Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 inhibits the expression of TNF-a in macrophages (Example 4). It was confirmed that the compound of the present invention can be effectively used for the treatment of arthritis.

COX-2 Inhibitory Effect of Tinized Clostridium Butyricum on Different Conditions

The COX-2 inhibitory effect was measured to determine the anti-inflammatory action of the tinylated Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 for each condition, and the final process was selected. The COX-2 inhibitory effect measurement method is as follows. Prepare Raw 264.7 cells to be 2.5 x 10 ⁵ cells / ml, make a final concentration of 5.0 x 10 ⁵ cells / well in a 6-well plate at 2 ml / well, and incubate overnight. Each well was treated with 20 μl each of ID-CBT5101 (4 μl / LPS (2 μg / ml concentration) and 1/5 dilution) and then incubated overnight.

At the end of incubation, protein was quantitated by BCA method, separated by 10% SDS-polycrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Milipore, USA) at 100V for 120 min. At the end of the transfection, the membrane was separated, blocked with blocking solution (20 ml of 0.1% TBST buffer containing 5% skim milk), blocked with shaking for 30 minutes to 1 hour, washed with 0.1% TBST buffer, And reacted with primary antibodies (COX-2 and β-actin). (1: 5000, Cell Signaling, USA) at 4 ° C in the presence of COX-2 antibody (1: 1000, Cell Signaling, USA). Subsequently, the cells were washed with 0.1% TBST buffer and reacted with a secondary antibody (anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody) for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After washing with 0.1% TBST buffer, the membrane was placed on an OHP film, soaked with a western-one substrate, and protein expression was detected using Chemi Dox to compare the degree of inhibition.

The results are shown in Table 1 and FIG.

As shown in Table 1 and FIG. 2, Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101, which was citrated at 121 ° C and 1.0 kgf / cm ² , had the best COX-2 inhibitory effect. This is probably due to the formation of favorable conditions for clostridium butyricum to be fragmented and to be small in size and to react with macrophages after sterilization of the cells under high pressure and high temperature conditions.

Assessment of anti-inflammatory effects by cytokines modulation

Raw 264.7 cells cultured to confirm the effect on inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines of T121-derived T121 samples obtained in Example 1 were recovered using a scrapper or trypsinize, and then transferred to a 15 ml falcon tube And centrifuged at 500 rpm for 5 minutes. After removal of the supernatant, 1 ml of complete media was added and resuspended to count the number of cells per ml. 250,000 / ml. 2 ml of diluted cells in each well of a 6-well plate was added and incubated overnight. The medium of each well of the 6-well plate was washed and then washed with PBS. After 2 ml of fresh medium was dispensed, each well was treated with 4 μl of LPS (final LPS concentration was 2 μl / ml), and 1 mM dexamethasone was added to the wells in a positive control (20 μl Final concentration 10 uM / ml). The remaining wells were treated with 10% of PBS and a 1/50 dilution of T121 thymarylated Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 (ID-CBT5101) as a negative control, followed by overnight incubation for 24 hours. The culture broth of each well was transferred to a 15 ml falcon tube and centrifuged at 9,500 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant of each tube was collected separately and used for cytokine experiments. An ELISA kit (R & D system) was used to confirm anti-inflammatory activity through inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.

The results are shown in Fig.

As shown in FIG. 3, Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 (ID-CBT5101) cells minced at 121 ° C-1.0 kgf / cm ² inhibited the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α as well as the positive control substance dexamethasone . In contrast, it was confirmed that the secretion amount of IL-10, which is a cytokine showing an anti-inflammatory mechanism, could not be increased (not shown). Thus, the fungus body of Tinarylated Clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 (ID-CBT5101) And it was confirmed that it is effective for relieving inflammation.

Evaluation of anti-inflammatory efficacy in arthritic animal models

<5-1> Arthritis animal model established

Six week old male Lewis rats (Orient Bios) were purchased and used after a week of purifying period. The animals were kept in constant temperature (22 ± 2 ℃) and humidity (50 ~ 60%) and were kept in Gwangju (08: 00 ~ 20: 00) Respectively. The animals were divided into three or two groups in poly-sulfone cage and the feed and water were fed for 24 hours in a free-diet. For each test group, 9 animals were used. Four groups, total 36 animals, were used in the vehicle, positive control group (100 mg / kg as green leaf mussel extract oil), ID-CBT5101 5 × 10 ⁸ , and 5 × 10 ⁹ CFU / rat. To induce arthritis, 100 μl of Complete Freund`s Adjuvant (CFA) (M. tuberculosis 10 mg / ml in mineral oil) purchased from Chondrex was administered intradermally to the base of rat tail. Arthritis symptoms began to appear on the 11th day after administration and arthritis symptoms appeared in all rats on the 13th day.

&Lt; 5-2 > Evaluation of efficacy of Tin Dalla clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101

The test substance was prepared immediately before administration and was orally administered once a day. The administration period was 4 weeks from the day of administration of CFA. The positive control group, green leaf mussel extract oil, was administered at 100 mg / kg, and tinctamycin clostridium butyricum IDCC 5101 (ID-CBT5101) was administered at a dose of 5 × 10 ⁸ , 5 × 10 ⁹ CFU / ml / rat. After the administration of CFA, the clinical score of arthritis was measured twice a week from day 13. The measurement method is shown in Table 2 below. The score of each foot was between 0 and 4, and the sum of four foot scores was expressed as an arthritis clinical score.
