- a 24-well plate was injected with the Pre-adipocyte expansion medium of (C-1) in each well, and then, the mouse 3T3-L1 fibroblasts (purchased from Food Industry Research and Development Institute, BCRC 60071) were seeded into a 24-well plate at a seeding density of 8 ⁇ 10 4 cells/well and cultivated at 37° C. for 48 hours. Thereafter, the medium was replaced by the differentiation medium of (C-1) and the cultivation was continued for 4 days at 37° C. And then, the medium was further replaced by the adipocyte maintenance medium of (C-1) and the cultivation was continued for 8 days at 37° C., so as to provide adipocytes for use in the following experiments.
- the adipocytes obtained from [Preparation example C-2] were divided into three groups, and separately cultivated with the following media at 37° C. for 48 hours:
- Control group adipocyte maintenance medium Blank group adipocyte maintenance medium + 1% MRS broth TCI378 group adipocyte maintenance medium + 1% TCI378 sample
- the cells of each group obtained from the cultivation of (1-1) were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) twice, and then, 1 mL of 10% methanol was added into each group to provide a mixture, and the mixture was placed at room temperature for 30 minutes to fix cells. Then, the methanol was removed and the cells were washed with PBS twice. 1 mL of 50% isopropanol was added into each group for 1 minute, and then removed. Finally, oil red O solution was added into each group and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour to stain the oil droplet of cells. The oil red O solution was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS twice. Then, the oil droplets of adipocytes were observed under a microscope and pictures were taken. The results are shown in FIG. 1 (the dark zones pointed by arrows are oil droplets).
- the cells in each group were treated with 100% isopropanol for 10 minutes to dissolve the accumulated oil droplets. And then, cells in each group was subjected to an absorbance measurement at a wavelength of 510 nm to determine the content of lipid in the cells of each group. Finally, the relative content of lipid in the cells of blank group and TCI378 group was respectively calculated by using the result of control group as a basis (i.e., set the content of lipid in the control group as 1-fold). The results are shown in FIG. 2 .
- Perilipin can protect the oil droplets of adipocytes from destruction. If the expression level of Perilipin can be decreased, the oil droplets of adipocytes will be destroyed more easily, thereby the fat metabolism can be enhanced. It is also known that the increased expression of GLUT4 gene will affect the ability of adipocytes on absorbing glucose, thereby leading to the production of fatty acids and causing obesity. Therefore, if the expression level of GLUT4 gene can be decreased, the fat formation will be reduced.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/473,785 filed on Mar. 20, 2017, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
- The present invention relates to a novel Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378. The present invention also relates to the uses of Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and/or its metabolites, particularly to the uses of Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and/or its metabolites in reducing fat formation, enhancing fat metabolism and/or improving gastrointestinal functions.
- People nowadays live in a lifestyle of sleeping and waking up irregularly, seldom eating at home, suffering from high stress, and being lack of exercise, and thus, the incidence rate of metabolic syndromes, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia is getting higher and higher. It is believed that the aforementioned course starts from the weakening of gastrointestinal functions and metabolism, leading to the accumulation of daily intake calories and thus the formation of fat, thereby resulting in constipation, obesity, chronic diseases, and other symptoms or diseases which severely threaten the health of people.
- Although a regular exercise and a routine consumption of vegetables can improve gastrointestinal functions and enhance fat metabolism, for those being busy and seldom eating at home, there is still a need for more convenient approaches. In the recent years, more and more products (e.g., enzymes obtained from vegetables) associated with the gastrointestinal function improvement or the enhancement of fat metabolism have been developed. Also, probiotics have become a popular target of researches.
- The discussion of lipophilic probiotics had brought hope to people for using probiotics in losing fat, however, researchers thereafter indicated that none of the probiotics already discovered was able to live by degrading lipid. Some gram-negative pathogens in human gastrointestinal tract could live by degrading lipid, while too much lipid consumption would lead to a dramatic proliferation of gram-negative pathogens and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) presenting on the surface of pathogens may induce an inflammation in human body, thereby causing obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancers.

- A. Selection and Identification of Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378
- (A-1) Selection
- The homogenate of kimchi (including kimchi and souse) was mixed with a MRS broth at a volume ratio of kimchi:MRS broth=1:100, and then the mixture thus provided was subjected to an anaerobic cultivation (i.e., the oxygen concentration is less than 5%) at a temperature of 37° C. for 18 hours. Thereafter, the cultivated mixture was spread onto a MSR agar, and then the agar was subjected to an anaerobic cultivation at 37° C., to form different colonies on the agar. Then, to confirm the uniqueness of the strain, a colony was picked up by using a sterilized inoculating loop and subjected to the quadrant streaking method on a MSR agar, and then, the MSR agar was incubated in an anaerobic incubator at 37° C. until single colony appeared.
- (A-2) Identification
- The strain selected from (A-1) was subjected to a phylogenetic analysis, and it was confirmed that the strain has a 16S rRNA fragment with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. SEQ ID NO: 1 was compared to the online database of National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and it was noted that SEQ ID NO: 1 has an identity of about 99% to the 16S rRNA fragment of Lactobacillus plantarum strain. Hence, depending on the phylogenetic identification, the strain selected from (A-1) was identified as a Lactobacillus plantarum strain according to the phylogenetic relationship and was named as Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378.
- (A-3) Storage
- The unique strain obtained from (A-1) was subjected to a liquid cultivation with a MRS broth to provide a bacteria cultivation liquid. Thereafter, glycerol was added into the bacteria cultivation liquid at a volume ratio of glycerol:bacteria cultivation liquid=1:3 to provide a mixture, and then, the mixture was placed into collection tubes and stored at a temperature of −80° C.
- B. Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 Activation and Sample Preparation
- (B-1) Activation
- The collection tube containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 was thawed, and then TCI378 strain was inoculated into a MRS broth at an inoculum concentration of 1% (about 1×104 CFU/mL) and cultivated under an anaerobic condition at 37° C. for 18 hours, so as to provide a TCI378 cultivation liquid for use in the following experiments.
- (B-2) Sample Preparation
- The TCI378 cultivation liquid obtained from (B-1) was inoculated into a MRS broth at an inoculum concentration of 1% (about 1×104 CFU/mL) and cultivated under an anaerobic condition at 37° C. for 18 hours. After the aforementioned cultivation, the broth was subjected to a centrifugation at a speed of 5,000 rpm for 5 minutes to remove the bacteria (i.e., TCI378 strain). And then, the supernatant of the centrifuged medium was filtered with a 0.2 μm filter to further remove the bacteria. The filtrate was collected form the filtration, and a TCI378 sample (containing metabolites of Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378) was thus obtained.
- C. Cultivation of Adipocytes
- (C-1) Medium
- 90% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM; purchased from Gibco);
- 10% Bovine Serum (purchased from Gibco); and
- 1% Penicillin-streptomycin (purchased from Gibco).
- 90% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM; purchased from Gibco);
- 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (purchased from Gibco);
- 1% Penicillin-streptomycin (purchased from Gibco);
- 1.0 μmole/mL Dexamethasone (purchased from Sigma);
- 0.5 mmole/mL Methylisobutylxanthine (purchased from Sigma); and
- 1.0 μg/mL insulin (purchased from Sigma).
- 90% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM; purchased from Gibco);
- 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (purchased from Gibco);
- 1% Penicillin-streptomycin (purchased from Gibco); and
- 1.0 μg/mL insulin (purchased from Sigma).
- (C-2) Differentiation of Adipocytes
- A 24-well plate was injected with the Pre-adipocyte expansion medium of (C-1) in each well, and then, the mouse 3T3-L1 fibroblasts (purchased from Food Industry Research and Development Institute, BCRC 60071) were seeded into a 24-well plate at a seeding density of 8×104 cells/well and cultivated at 37° C. for 48 hours. Thereafter, the medium was replaced by the differentiation medium of (C-1) and the cultivation was continued for 4 days at 37° C. And then, the medium was further replaced by the adipocyte maintenance medium of (C-1) and the cultivation was continued for 8 days at 37° C., so as to provide adipocytes for use in the following experiments.
- (1-1) Cell Treatment
- The adipocytes obtained from [Preparation example C-2] were divided into three groups, and separately cultivated with the following media at 37° C. for 48 hours:
-
Group Condition of the medium Control group adipocyte maintenance medium Blank group adipocyte maintenance medium + 1% MRS broth TCI378 group adipocyte maintenance medium + 1% TCI378 sample - (1-2) Lipid (Oil Red 0) Staining
- The cells of each group obtained from the cultivation of (1-1) were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) twice, and then, 1 mL of 10% methanol was added into each group to provide a mixture, and the mixture was placed at room temperature for 30 minutes to fix cells. Then, the methanol was removed and the cells were washed with PBS twice. 1 mL of 50% isopropanol was added into each group for 1 minute, and then removed. Finally, oil red O solution was added into each group and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour to stain the oil droplet of cells. The oil red O solution was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS twice. Then, the oil droplets of adipocytes were observed under a microscope and pictures were taken. The results are shown in
FIG. 1 (the dark zones pointed by arrows are oil droplets). - After the above observation and recording of oil droplets were completed, the cells in each group were treated with 100% isopropanol for 10 minutes to dissolve the accumulated oil droplets. And then, cells in each group was subjected to an absorbance measurement at a wavelength of 510 nm to determine the content of lipid in the cells of each group. Finally, the relative content of lipid in the cells of blank group and TCI378 group was respectively calculated by using the result of control group as a basis (i.e., set the content of lipid in the control group as 1-fold). The results are shown in
FIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIG. 1 , in comparison with the control group, the oil droplets in the TCI378 group were smaller, while the oil droplets in the blank group did not change significantly. As shown inFIG. 2 , no matter in comparison with the control group and blank group, the relative content of lipid in the cells of TCI378 group was decreased about 15%. These results indicate that Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and its metabolites are effective in decreasing the content of lipid in adipocytes. - (1-3) Analysis of Gene Expression
- It is known that the protein, Perilipin, can protect the oil droplets of adipocytes from destruction. If the expression level of Perilipin can be decreased, the oil droplets of adipocytes will be destroyed more easily, thereby the fat metabolism can be enhanced. It is also known that the increased expression of GLUT4 gene will affect the ability of adipocytes on absorbing glucose, thereby leading to the production of fatty acids and causing obesity. Therefore, if the expression level of GLUT4 gene can be decreased, the fat formation will be reduced. To confirm whether Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and its metabolites have effects on enhancing fat metabolism and/or reducing fat formation, the following analysis were conducted to investigate the influences of Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and its metabolites on the expression levels of PLIN1 (i.e., the gene which expresses Perilipin) and GLUT4 genes.
- The cells of each group provided by (1-1) were harvested and subjected to a RNA extraction with an RNA purification kit (purchased from GeneMark). Then, the RNA was retro-transcribed into cDNA by using a SuperScript™ Reverse Transcriptase kit (purchased from Invitrogen). Thereafter, the cDNA was subjected to a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) by using a SYBR Green Master Mix (purchased from KAPA) and ABI StepOne Plus™ System to determine the expression levels of PLIN1 and GLUT4 genes in the cells of each group. Then, the relative expression level of PLIN1 and GLUT4 genes of the TCI378 group were calculated by using the result of the control group as a basis (i.e., set the expression level of the control group as 1-fold). The results are shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 . - As shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , no matter in comparison with the control group and blank group, the expression levels of PLIN1 and GLUT4 genes in the TCI378 group were significantly lower. - The results of (1-2) and (1-3) indicate that Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and its metabolites in accordance with the present invention are effective in reducing fat formation and enhancing fat metabolism, and thus can be used for decreasing the content of lipid in adipocytes, thereby blocking body fat formation.
- Ten volunteered subjects, who have a body fat percentage more than 27% and did not take any diet foods or drugs, were recruited. Prior to conducting the experiment (i.e., before taking the capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378), each subject was invited to self-evaluate the frequency of feeling incomplete bowel movement (selecting one form the group consisting of “never,” “often,” “sometimes,” and “always”), and measure the body weight, waist circumference, BMI value, whole-body fat percentage, and trunk fat percentage. Then, each subject took a capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 (5×109 CFU/capsule) a day for 14 consecutive days (i.e., each subject took the capsule 14 times). Thereafter, each subject was again invited to self-evaluate the frequency of feeling incomplete bowel movement, and measured the body weight, waist circumference, BMI value, whole-body fat percentage, and trunk fat percentage. Finally, the whole-body fat percentage, trunk fat percentage, body weight, waist circumference and BMI value of the ten subjects were averaged and shown in
FIG. 5 toFIG. 9 respectively. In addition, a statistical analysis was conducted on the self-evaluation results of feeling incomplete bowel movement, and the ratio of subjects “never,” “often,” “sometimes,” and “always” feeling incomplete bowel movement was respectively calculated by setting the total number of subjects as “1”. The result shows inFIG. 10 . - As shown in
FIG. 5 toFIG. 9 , in comparison with those at the 0th day (i.e., prior to taking the capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378), both whole-body fat percentage and trunk fat percentage were significantly decreased at the 14th day (i.e., after taking the capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 for 14 consecutive days). In comparison with those at the 0th day, the body weight, waist circumference and BMI value were also decreased at the 14th day. In addition, as shown inFIG. 10 , the frequency of feeling incomplete bowel movement was reduced after the subjects took the capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 for 14 consecutive days. - The above results show that, after the subjects took the capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378, their fat accumulation and gastrointestinal functions are both improved, and their body weight, BMI value and waist circumference were decreased thereby. Therefore, the Lactobacillus plantarum TCI378 and its metabolites provided in accordance with the present invention can be used for at least one of reducing fat formation, enhancing fat metabolism, blocking body fat formation, and improving gastrointestinal functions.
