Description

Composition for preventing or treating secondary osteoporosis, including probiotics as an active ingredient {Composition for Preventing or Treating Secondary Osteoporosis Comprising Probiotics}

The present invention relates to a composition for the prevention or treatment of secondary osteoporosis comprising probiotics as an active ingredient.

Osteoporosis is primary osteoporosis (primary) in which bone mass decreases due to normal physiological changes such as age and menopause, and secondary osteoporosis (secondary) caused by exposure to diseases or drugs regardless of age. It is divided into two categories. Osteoporosis is often thought to be a disease of old age, but secondary osteoporosis can develop even if you are not old, and in this case, because it has a great impact on the quality of life of patients in the future, developing a method for treating and preventing secondary osteoporosis It is very important.

The causes of secondary osteoporosis are very diverse. Osteoporosis caused by taking glucocorticoids is the most common. Glucocorticoid (Glucocorticoid: GC) has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive functions, and is a drug commonly used to treat various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and arthritis. Long-term administration of GC effectively suppresses these diseases, but inhibits the normal activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in most patients, resulting in osteoporosis. Statistically, it has been reported that in the case of GC-administered patients, 12% of bone density decreases rapidly within 1 year, and bone loss gradually progresses after that, and 2-5% of bone density gradually decreases every year. . In order to prevent secondary osteoporosis by GC administration as described above, it is the most ideal method to stop GC administration, but it is problematic in that even a small amount should be continued to treat the disease.

Eating foods that can prevent osteoporosis caused by long-term administration of GC may be a good alternative, but most commercially available products are health functional foods to improve 'primary osteoporosis' such as postmenopausal women and senile osteoporosis. , And a product capable of preventing secondary osteoporosis has not been developed. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop food or pharmaceutical products for the prevention, improvement or treatment of secondary osteoporosis.

As used herein, the term "osteoporosis" refers to a "systemic skeletal disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and abnormalities in microstructure, and as a result, a weakened bone and a condition prone to breakage". Bone strength is determined by the quantity and quality. Bone mass is mainly expressed by bone density (BMD), and bone quality consists of structure, bone replacement rate, mineralization, and micro-damage accumulation. Currently, osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring bone density.

Osteoporosis is classified as primary and secondary osteoporosis. Primary osteoporosis or primary osteoporosis is classified as type 1 osteoporosis due to menopause and type 2 osteoporosis due to aging for convenience, but it is known to be difficult to accurately classify as it is merged and progressed at about the same time. Secondary osteoporosis refers to an increase in the risk of fracture due to changes in the microstructure of bones and decreased bone mass due to underlying diseases or drugs. As a cause of secondary osteoporosis, endocrine diseases (thyroidism, diabetes, hyperparathyroidism, etc.), gastrointestinal diseases (gastroresection, chronic liver disease, absorption disorder syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, alcoholism, etc.), bone marrow disease, connective tissue disease ( Ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteogenic insufficiency, etc.) and drugs. The most common causes in men are hypogonadism and glucocorticoid administration.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the osteoporosis is secondary osteoporosis, and more specifically, secondary osteoporosis by glucocorticoid drug administration. The glucocorticoid-based drug is, but is not limited to, cortisol, prednisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone, cortisone, hydroxycortisone, triamcinolone, betamethasone, or dexamethasone.

Example  2: Production of secondary osteoporosis animal model and Experimental group  Set

2.1 Production of secondary osteoporosis animal model

Animal models of secondary osteoporosis were constructed as follows. Eight week old Wistar female rats (Samtako, South Korea), weighing around 175 to 185 g, were sufficiently supplied with pellet-type feed and water to adapt to individual cages for one week before being used in the experiment. The establishment of a secondary osteoporosis model is an intramuscular injection method according to Lucinda et al. (PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH 27 (4), (2012), 515-520) and Sousa et al. (Archives of Oral Biology 77 (2017) 55-61). As a type of glucocorticoid, dexamethasone (DEX) was administered at a concentration of 7 mg / kg BW once a week for 5 weeks.

2.2 Experimental  Setting and feeding of fermented milk

In order to confirm the therapeutic effect of the probiotic strain and fermented milk of the present invention on secondary osteoporosis, the experimental groups were classified into a total of 9 groups as shown in Table 3 below. 7 experimental animals were assigned to each group, and all groups except the normal group were administered dexamethasone (DEX) once a week at a concentration of 7 mg / kg (BW) for 5 weeks as described in the above 2.1.

All fermented milk was diluted or diluted in PBS (Phosphate buffer saline) at a concentration of 1 × 10 ¹⁰ CFU / ml and orally administered by oral gavage. On the other hand, since the purpose of this experiment is to confirm the anti-osteoporosis effect of milk fermentation using probiotics, a Skim milk administration group (SMP) that did not undergo fermentation was used as a control.

Example  3: Morphological analysis of bone according to the administration of fermented milk of the present invention

Bone mineral density and percent bone volume are the most fundamental indicators when measuring bone strength. In order to measure the effect of improving the bone density of the probiotic strain and fermented milk of the present invention, a Micro Ct image analyzer (Sky Scan 1176) and a program to reconstruct it (NRecon), and a program to analyze it (CTAn) were used.

As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that secondary osteoporosis was induced in the DEX group administered with dexamethasone, as the bone density and bone ratio were significantly decreased compared to the normal group. In the drug group, in which the secondary osteoporosis drug (alendronate) was administered together with dexamethasone, it was shown that the reduced bone density and bone fraction were restored by administration of dexamethasone. The A41 group, the SRK414 group, the B719 group, and the 393 group to which the fermented milk fermented with the probiotic strain of the present invention were administered also exhibited similar bone mineral density and bone rate recovery effects. (FIGS. 1 and 2)

From the above results, the fermented milk fermented with the probiotic strains L. plantarum A41, L. fermentum SRK414, L. plantarum B719, L. casei 393 of the present invention is a symptom of secondary osteoporosis caused by administration of dexamethasone, which decreases bone density and bone rate It was confirmed that the recovery.

Example  4. Analysis of indicators related to calcium absorption by administration of fermented milk of the present invention

When the calcium concentration in the blood is insufficient, the calcium in the bone is released into the blood, thereby increasing bone loss. Therefore, increasing calcium concentration in the blood by promoting calcium absorption in the intestine may be an important preventive measure to lower bone loss. Calcium is introduced into the blood vessels from the small intestine by TRPV6, Calbindin-D9k, PMCA1, etc., proteins that play a role in moving calcium from the intestine. Therefore, the present inventors performed qRT-PCR analysis to determine the mRNA expression level of the intestinal calcium-accepting protein according to the administration of fermented milk of the present invention, and confirmed the relationship with the blood calcium concentration.

4.1 Confirmation of intestinal calcium receptor gene expression

To investigate the effect of fermented milk on the expression level of intestinal calcium-accepting proteins (TRPV6, Calbindin-D9k, PMCA1), qRT-PCR analysis was performed. Specifically, after the end of the experimental period, the ileum of each experimental animal was extracted, subjected to a homogenized process, and then RNA contained in the tissue was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogne). The purified RNA was used for cDNA synthesis together with reverse transcriptase oligo (dT) primer. PCR conditions were repeated for 3 cycles at 95 ° C., 3 seconds at 94 ° C., 10 seconds at 60 ° C., and 30 seconds at 60 ° C. for a total of 44 cycles. Primers for qRT-PCT analysis are shown in Table 4. The degree of total transcription was graphically normalized from the β-actin transcription level (FIGS. 3 to 5).

3 to 5, the A41 group and the SRK414 group in the fermented milk administration group of the present invention showed a relatively high expression level of intestinal calcium-accepting proteins (TRPV6, Calbindin-D9k, PMCA1) compared to other groups (FIG. 3 to 5).

4.2 Effect of regulating blood calcium concentration

In order to confirm the effect of the fermented milk administration of the present invention on the blood calcium concentration, the blood calcium concentration was confirmed. Specifically, blood was collected by a heart puncture method after a period of animal testing, and serum collected by centrifugation (2500 g, 15 minutes, 4 ° C) was stored at -70 ° C until analysis. Calcium (Ca) concentration in the serum was analyzed using a Calcium activity assay kit (MBL, Korea). The results are shown in FIG. 6.

As shown in FIG. 6, it was confirmed that the A41 group and the SRK414 group in the fermented milk administration group of the present invention showed a relatively high concentration of calcium in the blood as compared with the other groups, similar to the expression level of the intestinal calcium-accepting protein. Therefore, it is considered that the fermented milk fermented by the L. plantarum A41 and L. fermentum SRK414 strains of the present invention can effectively prevent bone loss by maintaining high blood calcium concentration by promoting calcium absorption in the small intestine of animals to which fermented milk is administered. .

Example  5. Analysis of bone metabolism related indicators according to the administration of fermented milk of the present invention

When Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) is expressed in osteoblasts or activated immune cells, osteoclast differentiation occurs by binding to Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (RANK) of the osteoclast cell membrane. Bone absorption can be promoted, leading to osteoporosis. On the other hand, OPG (Osteoprotegerin) is a factor that is received by RANK instead of RANKL, and OPG can inhibit the differentiation of osteoclasts by interfering with the binding of RANK and RANKL.

The present inventors analyzed the mRNA expression levels of RANKL, OPG, and BSP, which are bone metabolism-related markers, through qRT-PCR to confirm the effect of fermented milk administration of the present invention on bone metabolism. Specifically, after homogenization of the thigh and bone cortex of the experimental animal, total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Thermofisher, USA). The purified total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis. PCR was performed using Biorad RT-PCR, and after processing at 95 ° C for 3 minutes, a total of 44 cycles were repeated at 94 ° C for 10 seconds and at 60 ° C for 30 seconds. Primers for qRT-PCT analysis are shown in Table 5. The degree of total transcription was normalized from the β-actin transcription level (Fig. 7 to 9).

Genetic name Forward primer (5 'to 3') Reverse primer (5 'to 3') RANKL CCC ATC GGG TTC CCA TAA AGT C GCC TGA AGC AAA TGT TGG CGT A OPG ACG GTT TGC AAA AGA TGT CC GTG AGC TGC AGT TGG TGT GT BSP AGA AAG AGC AGC ACG GTT GAG T GAC CCT CGT AGC CTT CAT AGC C

As shown in FIG. 7, it was confirmed that the A41 and SRK414 fermented milk decreased the differentiation of osteoclasts by significantly reducing the expression of RANKL mRNA in the A41 group and the SRK414 group compared to the Dex group.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the expression level of OPG mRNA was also significantly increased in all fermented milk administration groups except 393 and KSK to confirm the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 9, the ultimate osteoblast differentiation marker BSP (Bone sialoprotein) expression level also shows relatively high expression levels in the A41, SRK414 and B719 groups, thereby promoting osteoblast differentiation and promoting the therapeutic effect of osteoporosis. Was confirmed to be excellent.

Based on the above results, when the fermented milk fermented with the L. plantarum A41 strain and L. fermentum SRK414 strain of the present invention is administered to an animal model, osteoblasts in the body promote OPG production and inhibit the production of RANKL to differentiate osteoclasts It was confirmed that it exhibits a preventive effect against secondary osteoporosis by inhibiting and promoting differentiation of osteoblasts.
