Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether supplementation of ultra- and nanofiltered colostrum-based products, combined with egg yolk extract, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), quercetin, alpha-ketoglutarate, white button mushroom, and celery seed extracts (the formula was patented by 4Life Research Company, USA and named as AgePro), modulate the functional activity of natural killer (NK) cells in vivo. We found that this supplement, taken orally in two capsules twice a day for 30 days, significantly enhanced the cytotoxic activity of NK cells. This was evidenced by the increased NK cell-mediated killing of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled K562 human myeloid leukemia cells. As expected, this effect was dependent on the ratio between the effector (E) (e.g., peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)) and target (T) (e.g., K562) cells, illustrating maximal killing of K562 cells at a 50:1 E/T ratio. Of note, increased NK-mediated killing of K562 cells after taking AgePro correlated with increased perforin release, evidenced by the CD107a degranulation assay. In concordance with these findings, taking of AgePro for 1 month increased production of several cytokines and chemokines, including IL-1β, IL-1Rα, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, G-CSF, PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB/BB, GRO, MCP-1, MCP-3, and MIP-1α, in PBMCs co-cultured with K562 cells. Of note, increased production of the cytokines correlated with the activation state of PBMCs, as evidenced by increased expression of the surface activation markers (e.g., the interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain-CD25). A strong correlation was found between NK-based cytotoxic activity and the production of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MIP-1α. Importantly, no increase in the aforementioned soluble factors and activation markers was detected in PBMCs cultured alone, thereby illustrating the potent immunoregulatory activity of AgePro only in the presence of the harmful target cells. Hematological parameters also remained unchanged over the entire study period. Collectively, we show herein the significant enhancement of the cytotoxic activity of NK cells against target tumor cells after taking AgePro for 1 month. Notably, this effect was observed for all age groups, including young, adult, and elderly participants. Moreover, a significant improvement in NK cytotoxic activity was also detected for participants with low basal (e.g., before taking AgePro) numbers of NK-mediated killing. The enhancement of NK-based cytotoxicity was associated with an increased release of several cytokines and chemokines involved in regulating a broad spectrum of mechanisms outside the cell-mediated cytotoxicity and killing of target cells. Of note, spontaneous activation of PBMCs, particularly NK cells, was not detected after taking AgePro. Given that spontaneous activation of autoreactive lymphocytes is a feature associated with autoimmunity and taking into account our data illustrating the AgePro-induced activation of NK cells detected only in the presence of the potentially harmful cells, we conclude that our innovative product exhibits potent immunoregulatory activity and high safety profile.

摘要

本研究的目的是检验补充基于超滤液和纳米滤液的初乳产品,并结合蛋黄提取物、烟酰胺单核苷酸(NMN)、槲皮素、α-酮戊二酸、白蘑菇和芹菜籽提取物(该配方已获美国4Life研究公司专利,命名为AgePro),是否能在体内调节自然杀伤(NK)细胞的功能活性。我们发现,这种补充剂每天分两次口服,每次两粒胶囊,持续30天,可显著增强NK细胞的细胞毒性活性。这一点通过NK细胞介导的对羧基荧光素二乙酸琥珀酰亚胺酯(CFSE)标记的K562人髓系白血病细胞的杀伤增加得到了证明。正如预期的那样,这种效应取决于效应细胞(E)(如外周血单个核细胞(PBMC))与靶细胞(T)(如K562)之间的比例,表明在E/T比例为50:1时对K562细胞的杀伤作用最大。值得注意的是,服用AgePro后NK介导的对K562细胞的杀伤增加与穿孔素释放增加相关,这通过CD107a脱颗粒试验得到了证明。与这些发现一致,服用AgePro 1个月可增加几种细胞因子和趋化因子的产生,包括IL-1β、IL-1Rα、IL-6、IL-8、IL-10、IFN-γ、TNF-α、G-CSF、PDGF-AA、PDGF-AB/BB、GRO、MCP-1、MCP-3和MIP-1α,这些细胞因子和趋化因子是在与K562细胞共培养的PBMC中产生的。值得注意的是,细胞因子产生的增加与PBMC的激活状态相关,这通过表面激活标志物(如白细胞介素-2受体α链-CD25)表达的增加得到了证明。在基于NK的细胞毒性活性与IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α和MIP-1α的产生之间发现了很强的相关性。重要的是,在单独培养的PBMC中未检测到上述可溶性因子和激活标志物的增加,从而表明AgePro仅在存在有害靶细胞的情况下具有强大的免疫调节活性。在整个研究期间,血液学参数也保持不变。总体而言,我们在此表明,服用AgePro 1个月后,NK细胞对靶肿瘤细胞的细胞毒性活性显著增强。值得注意的是,在所有年龄组中都观察到了这种效应,包括年轻、成年和老年参与者。此外,对于基础(如服用AgePro之前)NK介导的杀伤数量较低的参与者,也检测到了NK细胞毒性活性的显著改善。基于NK的细胞毒性增强与几种细胞因子和趋化因子的释放增加相关,这些细胞因子和趋化因子参与调节细胞介导的细胞毒性和靶细胞杀伤之外的广泛机制范围。值得注意的是,服用AgePro后未检测到PBMC的自发激活,特别是NK细胞的自发激活。鉴于自身反应性淋巴细胞的自发激活是与自身免疫相关的一个特征,并考虑到我们的数据表明AgePro诱导的NK细胞激活仅在存在潜在有害细胞的情况下被检测到,我们得出结论,我们的创新产品具有强大的免疫调节活性和高安全性。
