Abstract

To provide central nerve inflammation suppressing foods and drinks or feeds for preventing or treating inflammation in the central nerve.SOLUTION: Phospholipids are the active ingredients of central nervous inflammation suppressants. In addition, phospholipids are incorporated as an active ingredient in foods and drinks, or feeds for suppressing central nervous inflammation. As phospholipids, in addition to chemically synthesized ones, naturally derived ones can be used, but it is preferable to use ones derived from foods such as soybeans and egg yolks, in particular, it is desirable to use milk-derived phospholipids. By orally ingesting the product of the present invention or foods and drinks, and feed containing the product of the present invention, suppression of the expression of factors related to inflammation in the central nerve is promoted.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

本発明は、中枢神経の炎症を抑制し、安定性及び安全性に優れた中枢神経炎症抑制組成物に関する。また、本発明は、該中枢神経炎症抑制組成物を含有する、飲食品、医薬品、飼料に関する。なお、中枢神経炎症抑制剤は、中枢神経炎症予防剤又は治療剤と言い換えることができる。 The present invention relates to a central nervous system inflammation suppressing composition that suppresses central nervous system inflammation and has excellent stability and safety. The present invention also relates to foods and drinks, pharmaceuticals, and feeds containing the central nervous system inflammation-suppressing composition. Note that the central nervous inflammation suppressant can be referred to as a central nervous inflammation preventive agent or therapeutic agent.

中枢神経は、多数の神経細胞やグリア細胞が集まった領域であり、脊椎動物では脳、脊髄等がこれにあたる。中枢神経における炎症は認知症、パーキンソン病、筋萎縮性側索硬化症(ALS)、多発性硬化症等の慢性神経変性疾患、うつ病や統合失調症などの精神疾患、手術後に認められる術後せん妄など、多くの疾患で認められている(非特許文献1~3)。中でも、認知症、パーキンソン病、多発性硬化症、鬱では、脳の炎症を抑制することで症状が改善することが報告されている。(非特許文献4~6) The central nervous system is a region where many nerve cells and glial cells gather, and in vertebrates, this includes the brain and spinal cord. Inflammation in the central nervous system is associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis, psychiatric diseases such as depression and schizophrenia, and postoperative symptoms observed after surgery. It is recognized in many diseases such as delirium (Non-patent Documents 1 to 3). Among these, it has been reported that symptoms of dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and depression can be improved by suppressing brain inflammation. (Non-patent documents 4 to 6)

中枢神経における炎症は、細菌等の感染症のみが原因でなく、外傷性脳損傷や加齢などの要因によっても促進され、老齢マウスでは若齢マウスに比べて中枢神経の炎症性サイトカイン量が多いことも報告されている。また、中枢神経系には「免疫特権(immune privilege)」が存在し、中枢神経系と末梢の免疫応答(炎症を含む)は、異なるアーム(武器)が関与することが知られている(非特許文献7)。 Inflammation in the central nervous system is not only caused by infectious diseases such as bacteria, but is also promoted by factors such as traumatic brain injury and aging, and older mice have higher levels of inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system than young mice. It has also been reported that It is also known that the central nervous system has "immune privilege" and that different arms (weapons) are involved in the central nervous system and peripheral immune responses (including inflammation). Patent Document 7).

このことから、医薬品に代わり日常的に摂取することができ、中枢神経炎症を抑制することができる素材の開発が盛んに実施されており、天然成分や食品成分などから様々なものが提案されている。例えば、プラズマローゲンによる抗中枢神経系炎症剤(特許文献1)がある。 For this reason, the development of materials that can be ingested on a daily basis instead of pharmaceuticals and that can suppress central nervous system inflammation is actively being carried out, and various materials have been proposed from natural ingredients and food ingredients. There is. For example, there is an anti-central nervous system inflammatory agent using plasmalogen (Patent Document 1).

リン脂質は、卵黄や乳中に多く分布しており、細胞膜や血清リポタンパク質の構成成分として分布している。リン脂質には、ホスファチジルコリンやホスファチジルエタノールアミン、ホスファチジルセリン、ホスファチジルイノシトールといったグリセロリン脂質や、スフィンゴミエリンといったスフィンゴリン脂質がある。生体内でのスフィンゴミエリン、ホスファチジルコリンおよびホスファチジルセリンは、情報伝達系を介して細胞の増殖や分化に影響を及ぼしていることが知られている。また、スフィンゴミエリンには、学習能力向上効果があることも示唆されている(特許文献2)が、中枢神経の炎症を抑制する効果についてはなんら知られていない。 Phospholipids are widely distributed in egg yolk and milk, and are distributed as constituent components of cell membranes and serum lipoproteins. Phospholipids include glycerophospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylinositol, and sphingophospholipids such as sphingomyelin. It is known that sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylserine in vivo influence cell proliferation and differentiation via a signal transduction system. It has also been suggested that sphingomyelin has the effect of improving learning ability (Patent Document 2), but nothing is known about its effect of suppressing inflammation in the central nervous system.

(中枢神経炎症抑制用組成物中のリン脂質の定量方法)
本発明の中枢神経炎症抑制用組成物中のリン脂質含量は、春田らの方法(Bioscience, Biotechnology, & Biochemistry(2008)72、8、2151-2157)により測定することができる。
(Method for quantifying phospholipids in a composition for suppressing central nervous system inflammation)
The phospholipid content in the central nervous inflammation suppressing composition of the present invention can be measured by the method of Haruta et al. (Bioscience, Biotechnology, & Biochemistry (2008) 72, 8, 2151-2157).

乳由来リン脂質をバターゼーラムやバターミルクから製造する方法の一態様を以下に示す。 An embodiment of a method for producing milk-derived phospholipids from butterzerum or buttermilk is shown below.

バターゼーラムとは、脂肪分60重量%以上の高脂肪クリーム又はバターを、遠心分離、加温、又はせん断処理することにより得られる脂肪分30~51重量%の水層画分をいう。 Butter Zeelum refers to an aqueous layer fraction with a fat content of 30 to 51% by weight obtained by centrifuging, heating, or shearing high-fat cream or butter with a fat content of 60% by weight or more.

バターミルクとは、バターを製造する際に生じた脂肪粒以外の部分をいい、乳脂肪分30~40%に調製したクリームよりバターを製造する際に、チャーニングのような乳脂肪球同士の衝突による乳化破壊等の物理的分画操作より、バターと共に副産物として発生する淡黄色の液体である。なお、上記したバターは発酵バターであってもよい。 Buttermilk refers to the part other than fat granules that is produced during the production of butter, and is produced when butter is produced from cream with a milk fat content of 30 to 40%. It is a pale yellow liquid that is produced as a byproduct along with butter through physical fractionation operations such as demulsification destruction due to collision. Note that the butter described above may be fermented butter.

これらの原材料を用いて、乳由来リン脂質組成物は、以下のような方法等により調製することができる。 Using these raw materials, a milk-derived phospholipid composition can be prepared by the following method.

すなわち、乳または乳素材を精密ろ過(MF)膜または限外ろ過膜(UF)処理することにより、本発明のリン脂質組成物を得ることができる。 That is, the phospholipid composition of the present invention can be obtained by treating milk or a milk material with a microfiltration (MF) membrane or an ultrafiltration membrane (UF).

精密ろ過膜(MF)は、孔径0.1μm~2.0μmのものが好ましい。孔径が0.1μm未満になると、ホエイタンパク質等の夾雑物が濃縮液側に残存するようになり、固形当たりの脂質含量が減少することにより中枢神経炎症抑制剤としての効果が弱くなる。また、孔径が2.0μmを越えると、脂肪球が膜を通過して透過液側に漏れるようになるため、中枢神経炎症抑制効果を有する脂質画分が濃縮画分から減少するために、中枢神経炎症抑制剤としての効果が弱くなる。混入するタンパク質の量やリン脂質の回収量を考慮すると、孔径0.1μm~2.0μm程度の精密ろ過膜(MF)が最も好ましい。この孔径0.1μm~2μmの精密ろ過膜(MF)としては、たとえば、Membrarox(SCT、Societie Ceramics Techniquest社製)を使用することができる。 The microfiltration membrane (MF) preferably has a pore size of 0.1 μm to 2.0 μm. If the pore size is less than 0.1 μm, impurities such as whey protein will remain in the concentrate, and the lipid content per solid will decrease, thereby weakening the effect as a central nervous system inflammation suppressant. In addition, if the pore size exceeds 2.0 μm, fat globules will pass through the membrane and leak into the permeate side, and the lipid fraction, which has a central nervous system inflammation suppressing effect, will decrease from the concentrated fraction. It becomes less effective as an anti-inflammatory agent. Considering the amount of mixed protein and the amount of phospholipid recovered, a microfiltration membrane (MF) with a pore size of about 0.1 μm to 2.0 μm is most preferable. As the microfiltration membrane (MF) having a pore size of 0.1 μm to 2 μm, for example, Membrarox (SCT, manufactured by Society Ceramics Techniquest) can be used.

限外ろ過膜(UF)は、分画分子量5~500kDaのものが好ましい。5kDa未満になると、乳糖が濃縮され、脂質の割合が高くならないため、好ましくなく、500kDaはUF膜の分画分子量の上限である。
なお、MF処理またはUF処理を行う前に、上記原料に対して酸を加えてpH4~5程度に調整し、カゼインタンパク質を等電点沈殿させて除去しおくことで、膜処理における膜の汚れ付着を防止できるとともに、得られる濃縮液中に含まれる固形物当たりの脂質含量を高くすることが可能となり好ましい。
The ultrafiltration membrane (UF) preferably has a molecular weight cutoff of 5 to 500 kDa. If it is less than 5 kDa, lactose will be concentrated and the ratio of lipids will not be high, which is not preferable, and 500 kDa is the upper limit of the molecular weight cutoff of the UF membrane.
In addition, before performing MF treatment or UF treatment, acid is added to the above raw materials to adjust the pH to about 4 to 5, and the casein protein is precipitated to an isoelectric point and removed, thereby preventing membrane fouling during membrane treatment. This is preferable because it is possible to prevent adhesion and to increase the lipid content per solid matter contained in the obtained concentrate.

さらに、pHを4~5に調整した後に塩化カルシウムを加えると、カゼインタンパク質の沈殿がより促進されるのでより好ましい。塩化カルシウムの添加量は、全体の0.01~0.05重量%が好ましい。また、pH調整の際に加える酸の種類は特に限定されないが、塩酸や硫酸等の無機酸等が好ましい。 Furthermore, it is more preferable to add calcium chloride after adjusting the pH to 4 to 5, as this further promotes precipitation of casein protein. The amount of calcium chloride added is preferably 0.01 to 0.05% by weight of the total. Further, the type of acid added during pH adjustment is not particularly limited, but inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are preferred.

本発明のリン脂質を含有する中枢神経炎症を抑制する飲食品又は飼料はヒトまたは動物が経口摂取することにより、中枢神経炎症を予防、あるいは抑制させることができる。 The food, drink, or feed containing the phospholipid of the present invention that suppresses central nervous inflammation can be orally ingested by humans or animals to prevent or suppress central nervous inflammation.

上述のように、中枢神経の炎症が原因の1つと考えられている疾患である認知症、パーキンソン病、筋萎縮性側索硬化症(ALS)、多発性硬化症等、並びに統合失調症、うつ病、自閉症等の精神疾患、及び術後せん妄のリスクの低減のためにも、本発明の抗中枢神経系炎症剤を好ましく用いることができる。 As mentioned above, diseases that are thought to be caused by inflammation of the central nervous system, such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis, as well as schizophrenia and depression. The anti-central nervous system inflammatory agent of the present invention can also be preferably used to reduce the risk of illness, psychiatric disorders such as autism, and postoperative delirium.

中枢神経炎症予防剤や中枢神経炎症抑制作用を有する食品や飼料の製造の際には、糖類、タンパク質、ビタミン類、ミネラル類やフレーバー等、他の飲食品や飼料に通常使用される原材料等、安定剤、賦型剤、結合剤、崩壊剤、滑沢剤、懸濁剤、コーティング剤、その他の任意の薬剤を混合した錠剤、カプセル剤、顆粒剤、散剤、粉末剤、シロップ剤等の製剤を用いることができる。 When manufacturing central nervous system inflammation preventive agents or foods and feeds that have a central nervous system inflammation suppressing effect, raw materials normally used in other foods, drinks, and feeds, such as sugars, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and flavors, etc. Preparations such as tablets, capsules, granules, powders, powders, syrups, etc. mixed with stabilizers, excipients, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, suspending agents, coating agents, and other arbitrary drugs. can be used.

さらに、乳、乳飲料、発酵乳、チーズ、アイスクリームなどの乳製品、パン、スナック菓子、ケーキ、プリン、飲料、麺類、ソーセージ、各種粉乳や離乳食等の飲食品や飼料に配合することも可能である。 Furthermore, it can be added to dairy products such as milk, milk drinks, fermented milk, cheese, and ice cream, bread, snack foods, cakes, puddings, beverages, noodles, sausages, various types of powdered milk, baby food, and other foods and drinks, as well as feed. be.

なお、本発明により、中枢神経炎症抑制作用を発揮させるためには、成人の場合、リン脂質を一日当たり10~2,500mg、好ましくは、50~2,500mgを摂取すればよい。 According to the present invention, in order to exert the central nervous inflammation suppressing effect, adults should ingest 10 to 2,500 mg, preferably 50 to 2,500 mg of phospholipid per day.

また、リン脂質を食品に配合する場合は、1食で上記の量を摂取してもよいし、数回に分けて、上記の摂取量になるように配合して摂取してもよい。 Furthermore, when phospholipids are added to food, the above-mentioned amount may be taken in one meal, or the phospholipids may be mixed and taken in several doses so as to achieve the above-mentioned intake amount.

以下に、実施例及び試験例を示し、本発明についてより詳細に説明するが、これらは単に例示するのみであり、本発明はこれらによって何ら限定されるものではない。また、実施例および試験例における「%」は断らない限り「重量%」を意味するものとする。 EXAMPLES Below, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples and Test Examples, but these are merely illustrative and the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, "%" in Examples and Test Examples means "% by weight" unless otherwise specified.

[Test Example 1] Confirmation of central nervous system inflammation suppression effect (1)
1. Test Method Using the milk-derived phospholipid-rich material obtained in Example Product 1, the hippocampi of mice after oral feeding were removed in order to investigate the effect of oral feeding on central nervous inflammation in mice, and inflammatory cytokines were detected. Gene expression levels of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFa) were analyzed. First, 15-week-old SAMR1 male mice (Japan SLC Co., Ltd.) were preliminarily fed with a standard diet (AIN-93M) for 7 days, and then divided into two groups of 8 mice per group. Each group was given ad libitum feed for 18 weeks. The average food intake per mouse was 3.4 g/day. The mice were housed at a room temperature of 24° C., a humidity of 60%, and a light-dark control for 12 hours, and were given free access to deionized water. After the feeding period, the hippocampi were collected by dissection, mRNA was extracted, and the expression level of each gene was quantified using Real-Time qPCR. The gene expression levels of IL-1b and TNFa were corrected using Actin Beta (ACTB). The results are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Note that this sample contained 1.085 g of phospholipid per 100 g.

対照食摂取群に対して、本発明群の方が代表的な炎症性サイトカインであるIL-1b及びTNFaの遺伝子発現量が有意に低かった。この結果から、乳由来リン脂質は中枢神経炎症抑制作用を有することが明らかとなった。更に、TNFaやIL-1bなどの炎症促進性サイトカインが、多発性硬化症や鬱などにおける炎症に関与することが知られているので(非特許文献5及び非特許文献6を参照)、本発明の乳由来リン脂質を摂取することにより、これらの疾患のリスクを低減できると期待される。なお、実施例品1で得られた乳由来リン脂質高含有素材をマウスに経口摂取させた場合、ホスファチジルコリン、ホスファチジルエタノールアミン、ホスファチジルセリン、ホスファチジルイノシトール、又はスフィンゴミエリンを単独でマウスに経口摂取させた場合と比較して、IL-1b及びTNFaの遺伝子発現量は有意に低くより優れた中枢神経炎症抑制作用を有することが期待される。
2. Test Results Compared to the control diet group, the gene expression levels of IL-1b and TNFa, which are typical inflammatory cytokines, were significantly lower in the present invention group. These results revealed that milk-derived phospholipids have central nervous inflammation suppressive effects. Furthermore, since it is known that pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFa and IL-1b are involved in inflammation in multiple sclerosis, depression, etc. (see Non-Patent Documents 5 and 6), the present invention It is expected that the risk of these diseases can be reduced by ingesting milk-derived phospholipids. In addition, when mice were orally ingested with the milk-derived phospholipid-rich material obtained in Example Product 1, mice were orally ingested with phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, or sphingomyelin alone. Compared to the case, the gene expression levels of IL-1b and TNFa are significantly lower, and it is expected to have a better central nervous inflammation suppressing effect.

[試験例2]中枢神経炎症抑制作用の確認(2)
1.試験方法
実施例品1で得られた乳由来リン脂質高含有素材を使用し、培養細胞を用い中枢神経炎症に及ぼす影響を確認するための試験を行った。マウス由来のミクログリア株化細胞である6-3細胞を2×10cells/wellの密度で6ウェルプレートに播種し、37℃で72時間培養後、炎症誘導物質であるLipopolysaccharide(LPS)を添加して24時間培養した。LPSを添加しない群を無処理群、LPSを単独添加した群を対照群、LPSと本発明品を同時添加した群を本発明群とした。細胞を回収し、mRNAを抽出後、Real-Time qPCR法を用いてIL-1bの遺伝子発現量を測定した。IL-1b発現量は、Actin Beta(ACTB)を用いて補正を行った。その結果を図3に示す。
[Test Example 2] Confirmation of central nervous system inflammation suppression effect (2)
1. Test Method Using the milk-derived phospholipid-rich material obtained in Example Product 1, a test was conducted to confirm the effect on central nervous inflammation using cultured cells. 6-3 cells, a mouse-derived microglia cell line, were seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 2 x 10 cells/well, and after culturing at 37°C for 72 hours, the inflammation-inducing substance Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added. and cultured for 24 hours. A group to which LPS was not added was defined as an untreated group, a group to which LPS was added alone was defined as a control group, and a group to which LPS and the product of the present invention were simultaneously added was defined as an inventive group. After collecting the cells and extracting mRNA, the IL-1b gene expression level was measured using Real-Time qPCR method. The IL-1b expression level was corrected using Actin Beta (ACTB). The results are shown in FIG.

2.試験結果
LPSを添加していない無処理群と比較し、LPSを添加した対照群においてIL-1bの遺伝子発現量が有意に高いことから、LPSによりミクログリア細胞の炎症を惹起できたことが分かる。一方、LPSと本発明品を同時添加した本発明群においてLPSにより惹起されたIL-1bの遺伝子発現量が有意に抑制された。この結果から、乳由来リン脂質は、グリア細胞における炎症抑制作用を有することが明らかとなった。
2. Test results: Compared to the untreated group to which LPS was not added, the IL-1b gene expression level was significantly higher in the control group to which LPS was added, indicating that LPS was able to induce inflammation in microglial cells. On the other hand, in the group of the present invention to which LPS and the product of the present invention were added simultaneously, the amount of IL-1b gene expression induced by LPS was significantly suppressed. These results revealed that milk-derived phospholipids have an anti-inflammatory effect on glial cells.
