困難梭狀芽孢桿菌是已知造成院內感染的致病菌,主要由抗生素使用而造成腸內共生菌不平衡,使得困難梭狀芽孢桿菌伺機於腸道內繁殖。糞便轉殖療法是目前有效治療困難梭狀芽孢桿菌感染性疾病的方法,已知細菌可透過產生代謝物或蛋白質等,以對抗其他菌種。在本篇研究中,我們試著了解有哪些有效物質被腸道菌株以及益生菌釋放,以對抗困難梭狀芽孢桿菌。在本篇研究中,實驗結果顯示酪酸菌所釋放的物質對於抑制困難梭狀芽孢桿菌有更好的效果。已知酪酸菌是會產生孢子的格蘭氏陽性菌,並且可治療或延緩腸道致病菌所引起的病徵,但對於酪酸菌如何有效對抗困難梭狀芽孢桿菌的相關研究很少,因此我們試著找出可能的成因。在先前文獻中,已發現酪酸菌可以表現細菌素,因此我們想了解在酪酸菌所釋放物質中,細菌素是否扮演有效抑制困難梭狀芽孢桿菌的角色,在體外實驗中我們證實酪酸菌確實可以表現並產生細菌素,此外,我們製造重組細菌素蛋白以進行後續實驗。首先我們了解重組細菌素蛋白(crude CBM-B)是一個對酸鹼值不敏感,但對蛋白酶敏感的蛋白,而在溫度的感受性上是相對的不敏感。進一步我們發現CBM-B可以有效抑制困難梭狀芽孢桿菌,並且對梭狀芽孢桿菌屬有相對專一性。雖然CBM-B可抑制細菌,但我們未發現CBM-B可有效作用於孢子,另外,我們發現CBM-B可抑制困難梭狀芽孢桿菌所產毒素的基因表現,且可能透過抑制毒素正向調控因子而調節。在體外動物實驗中,透過肛門給予CBM-B,我們進而證明CBM-B可對抗腸道中的困難梭狀芽孢桿菌。總結而言,我們推論酪酸菌可透過釋放CBM-B而有效抑制困難梭狀芽孢桿菌,並作為未來新型抑制劑以治療困難梭狀芽孢桿菌感染症狀。
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a gram-positive, spore-forming nosocomial pathogen and Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) can lead to antibiotic-associated pseudo-membranous colitis. The success of fecal material transplantation in the treatment of C. difficile infections indicated that beneficial bacteria are capable of inhibiting C. difficile. Moreover, it has been known that bacteria secreted metabolites and proteins can inhibit other bacteria. In this study, we screened the supernatant of multiple gut commensals for their inhibitory ability to inhibit C. difficile. Supernatants of C. butyricum MIYAIRI 588 strain (CBM588), a commercially available probiotic was shown to have the highest inhibition compared to others. CBM 588 is an anaerobic spore forming gram-positive bacteria which has been used for the treatment of enteropathogens but its role in C. difficile infection has not been evaluated in detail. Characterization of the cultural supernatant from CBM 588 suggested that a proteinaceous substance is involved in inhibiting C. difficile growth in vitro. Based on bioinformatics analysis and literature search, we identified a bacteriocin-like gene in CBM 588. PCR and qRT-PCR analysis of CBM 588 demonstrated the same gene existed and the transcription of this gene is highest during late-log growth phase. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the bacteriocin is present in the supernatant of CBM 588. Importantly, recombinant CBM 588 bacteriocin (crude CBM-B) was demonstrated to be sufficient for inhibition of C. difficile. In addition, the crude CBM-B is pH stable, protease sensitive, and relatively temperature stable. Further analysis revealed a narrow spectrum of activity for bacteriocin (CBM-B). CBM-B was unable to alter spore germination efficiency and outgrowth. Interestingly, when applied at sub-lethal concentration, CBM-B was able to suppress tcdA and tcdB expression in part by decreasing the expression of a toxin regulator. Lastly, we demonstrated that intra-rectal administration of CBM-B was able to decrease the survival of C. difficile in colons of mice. Overall, we concluded that CBM-B from CBM 588 is a potential inhibitor against C. difficile which could be used as therapeutic treatment for CDI.
