Description

形質細胞様樹状細胞増加剤Plasmacytoid dendritic cell increasing agent
 本発明は、ラクトバチルス・ヘルベティカス(Lactobacillus helveticus)に属する乳酸菌を有効成分とする、形質細胞様樹状細胞増加剤、形質細胞様樹状細胞数増加用飲食品、形質細胞様樹状細胞数増加用栄養組成物および形質細胞様樹状細胞数増加用飼料に関する。 The present invention relates to a plasmacytoid dendritic cell increasing agent, a food and beverage for increasing the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, an increase in the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, comprising lactic acid bacteria belonging to Lactobacillus helveticus as an active ingredient The present invention relates to a nutritional composition and a feed for increasing the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
 免疫は、多くの動物に備わった生体防御機構であり、外部より侵入する細菌やウイルスなどの病原体や生体内で生じた腫瘍細胞を排除する役割を担う。免疫系には、自然免疫系と獲得免疫系の2つのシステムが存在し、生体防御機能を担っている。自然免疫系は,先天的に備わった免疫系であり、獲得免疫系は,後天的に外来異物の刺激に応じて形成される免疫系である。細菌やウイルスなどの異物が体内に進入すると、まず自然免疫系を担うマクロファージ、NK細胞、樹状細胞が異物の除去に向けて働く。引き続いて樹状細胞は、異物の情報をT細胞やB細胞に伝達することで、異物を特異的に攻撃するCD8+T細胞や抗体産生を誘導して獲得免疫系を活性化させる。 Immunity is a biological defense mechanism possessed by many animals, and plays a role in eliminating pathogens such as bacteria and viruses that invade from the outside and tumor cells generated in vivo. There are two systems in the immune system, the innate immunity system and the acquired immunity system, which are responsible for biological defense functions. The innate immune system is an innate immune system, and the acquired immune system is an immune system that is acquired in response to the stimulation of a foreign substance. When foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses enter the body, first, macrophages, NK cells, and dendritic cells, which are responsible for the innate immune system, work to remove foreign substances. Subsequently, dendritic cells transmit information on foreign substances to T cells and B cells, thereby inducing CD8 + T cells that specifically attack the foreign substances and antibody production to activate the acquired immune system.
 このように樹状細胞は、自身が自然免疫系を担当する細胞であり、かつ獲得免疫系にも関与する細胞であることから、免疫全体の司令塔として機能している。樹状細胞には様々な種類が存在するが、大きく分けて古典的樹状細胞(conventional dendritic cell:cDC)と形質細胞様樹状細胞(plasmacytoid dendritic cell:pDC)に分類される。古典的樹状細胞は強い抗原提示能を有することから、獲得免疫系の誘導に重要な役割を果たす。一方、形質細胞様樹状細胞は抗原提示能は弱いものの、異物の排除に向かう免疫賦活系だけではなく、過剰な免疫応答を抑制する免疫制御系をも調節することから、免疫系の恒常性を保つための要となっている細胞である。 Thus, the dendritic cell is a cell that is responsible for the innate immune system and that also participates in the acquired immune system, and thus functions as a control tower for the entire immunity. There are various types of dendritic cells, which are roughly classified into classical dendritic cells (conventional dendritic cells) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC). Classical dendritic cells play an important role in the induction of the acquired immune system because of their strong antigen-presenting ability. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells, on the other hand, have a weak antigen-presenting ability, but they regulate not only the immunostimulatory system toward the elimination of foreign substances but also the immune control system that suppresses excessive immune responses, so that the homeostasis of the immune system It is the cell that is the key to keeping it safe.
 異物排除における形質細胞様樹状細胞の特徴として、ウイルス感染時に大量のI型およびIII型インターフェロン(IFN)を産生することがあげられる。I型およびIII型IFNは、ウイルスの増殖を阻止するために生体が本来保有している抗ウイルス因子の産生を誘導するサイトカインであり、ウイルス感染が組織全体へ拡大するのを防ぐ役割がある。この反応では、ウイルス由来のRNAまたはDNAが細胞のTLR7またはTLR9と結合することでI型IFNの産生が強く刺激される。したがって、これまでにも抗ウイルス剤としてTLR7またはTLR9を刺激するようなI型IFN誘導剤が広く研究されてきた。特許文献1に記載されるインターフェロン産生誘導剤は乳酸菌を有効成分とするものであるが、当該特許文献では形質細胞様樹状細胞を活性化してIFN産生を誘導するものであり、本発明が示す形質細胞様樹状細胞数を増加させるものとは本質的に異なるものである。また、当該特許文献で形質細胞様樹状細胞を活性化させる乳酸菌として示されているのはラクトコッカス・ラクティス(Lactococcus lactis)のみであり、ラクトバチルス(Lactobacillus)属の乳酸菌にはその活性化作用は無いことが示されている。また、ラクトバチルス・ヘルベティカス(Lactobacillus helveticus)については一切検討されてこなかった。 A characteristic of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in excluding foreign bodies is that they produce a large amount of type I and type III interferon (IFN) during viral infection. Type I and type III IFNs are cytokines that induce the production of antiviral factors that are inherently possessed by living bodies in order to prevent the growth of viruses, and have a role in preventing viral infection from spreading to the entire tissue. In this reaction, production of type I IFN is strongly stimulated by binding of RNA or DNA derived from virus to TLR7 or TLR9 of cells. Therefore, type I IFN inducers that stimulate TLR7 or TLR9 as antiviral agents have been extensively studied so far. The interferon production inducer described in Patent Document 1 contains lactic acid bacteria as an active ingredient. However, in this patent document, plasmacytoid dendritic cells are activated to induce IFN production, and the present invention shows It is essentially different from those that increase the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. In addition, Lactococcus lactis is the only lactic acid bacterium that activates plasmacytoid dendritic cells in the patent document, and its activating effect on lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genus Lactobacillus. It is shown that there is no. Moreover, Lactobacillus helveticus has not been studied at all.
 一方、免疫制御系における形質細胞様樹状細胞の特徴は、IL-10産生型T細胞や制御性T細胞を誘導することであり、炎症性疾患の抑制に大きく寄与している。一般的に免疫賦活剤で生体防御機能を高めると、生態防御機能が行き過ぎたことによる炎症の惹起が懸念される。逆に抗炎症剤などを使用すると、行き過ぎた生体防御機能の低下による感染リスクの上昇が懸念されてきた。しかし、形質細胞様樹状細胞は、免疫賦活剤と抗炎症剤の機能を併せ持ち、ウイルス感染からの重要な防御機能でありながら、同時に免疫制御系に働きかける機能を有しており、まさしく免疫機能の恒常性維持に関わる要の細胞である。したがって、生体内で形質細胞様樹状細胞の数が低下すると、ウイルス感染リスクが高まるばかりでなく炎症性疾患のリスクも高まることから、生体内での形質細胞様樹状細胞の数を増やすような薬剤または食品成分が期待されてきた。 On the other hand, a characteristic of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in the immune control system is to induce IL-10-producing T cells and regulatory T cells, which greatly contributes to suppression of inflammatory diseases. In general, when the biological defense function is enhanced with an immunostimulant, there is a concern that inflammation may be caused by the excessive ecological defense function. On the other hand, when anti-inflammatory agents are used, there has been a concern that the risk of infection will increase due to excessively low biological defense functions. However, plasmacytoid dendritic cells have functions of both immunostimulants and anti-inflammatory agents and are important defense functions against viral infections, but at the same time have a function to act on the immune control system, which is just an immune function. It is a key cell involved in maintaining homeostasis. Therefore, reducing the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in vivo increases not only the risk of viral infection but also the risk of inflammatory diseases, so increase the number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in vivo. New drugs or food ingredients have been expected.

 特許文献1に記載されるインターフェロン産生誘導剤は、ウイルス感染に対して一定の防除効果を有する。しかし、全身性エリスマトーデスのように血清中のI型IFN高値が憎悪因子となる疾病も存在することから、特許文献1のようなインターフェロン産生誘導剤を用いると、必要以上に形質細胞様樹状細胞を刺激して過剰なI型IFNの産生を促してしまい好ましくない。ウイルス感染時には形質細胞様樹状細胞から相当量のI型IFNが産生されることから、平時には形質細胞様樹状細胞を活性化させるよりも、ウイルス感染時に対応できるだけの細胞数を保つことが重要と考えられる。そこで、本発明は、形質細胞様樹状細胞を増加させることで、感染症の予防と炎症疾患の予防の両者の効果をもたらすことができる形質細胞様樹状細胞増加作用を有するする医薬品や栄養組成物、飲食品および飼料を提供することを課題とする。 The interferon production inducer described in Patent Document 1 has a certain control effect against virus infection. However, there is a disease in which high type I IFN in serum is an exacerbating factor, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Therefore, when an interferon production inducer such as Patent Document 1 is used, a plasmacytoid tree is more than necessary. It is not preferable because it stimulates dendritic cells to promote production of excess type I IFN. Since a considerable amount of type I IFN is produced from plasmacytoid dendritic cells at the time of virus infection, it is possible to maintain a sufficient number of cells at the time of viral infection rather than to activate plasmacytoid dendritic cells at normal times. Considered important. Therefore, the present invention provides a drug or nutrition having an action of increasing plasmacytoid dendritic cells, which can bring about effects of both prevention of infectious diseases and prevention of inflammatory diseases by increasing plasmacytoid dendritic cells. It is an object to provide a composition, food and drink, and feed.
