Specification

Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention relates to field of biotechnology particularly to a probiotic composition and a method of obtaining the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Composition of the Cow’s milk has major constituent as water i.e. 85.5 % to 88.7%, Lactose (sugar) range from 3.8 % to 5.3%. The fat content ranges from 2.4 % to 5.5% and the proteins, ranges between 2.3 % and 4.4%. The major protein of milk, casein ranges from 1.7% to 3.5. The milk is therefore a complete medium that provides ideal environment for the microbial proliferation. Cow milk has a huge bacterial population which can be classified into four phylum, Firmicutes (76%), Actinobacteria (4.9%), Proteobacteria (17.8%) and Bacteroides (1.3%). In addition, milk also has thermoduric populations which resists pasteurisation such as sulphate-reducing clostridia, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, coagulase-positive staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and Bacillus cereus among others. Probiotics are live microbes, which on administration to a subject confer health benefits. Bacillus species have been used as probiotics for long. Bacillus are known to form spores. Spore-forming bacteria have distinct advantage over the non-spore forming bacteria as spore-forming bacteria are heat stable and survive low pH of the gastric environment. Of the species that have been most extensively examined these are Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus clausii, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus licheniformis. The spore forming bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes are Bacilli, Clostridium, Negativicutes, Erysipelotrichia and Thermolithobacteria. Among these, Bacillus (aerobic spore forming bacteria) is the dominant classes. Bacterial Bacillus spores are able to survive post-pasteurization also as they have potential to subsequently germinate when they get favorable conditions.
Bacillus spores are tough, metabolically insert structures which are made by vegetative bacterial cells under extreme conditions as their survival strategy in response to environmental conditions. Bacillus spores produce endospores that have the ability to resist heat, radiation and chemical treatment.
The milk also in addition is a source of Ca2+ ions that has ability to make a bacterial cell competent. Combining Ca2+ ions with cold/heat shock (ice/heat) is known to make a bacterial cell competent. In this method divalent (Ca2+) on ice is followed by treatment with elevated temperature as a heat-shock, which produces a temperature imbalance. Molecules with increased Brownian motion outside the cell are likely to push the DNA molecule inside the cell. It is also inferred that lowering of temperature actually contributes to protein loss, while heating contributes to lipid loss, and thus together these cycles increase transformation efficiency as it enlarges the pore size on the cell surface. Moreover, due to loss of lipids and proteins, the membrane is depolarized, further reducing the repulsion between the DNA molecule and the membrane. Moreover, cell density can also affect the efficiency of transformation and it has been reported that maximum competency is observed at cell density ranging from 107 to 108 cells ml in the log phase. The temperature imbalances and treatment with Ca2+ help deal with the barriers to DNA uptake, such as charge repulsions and pore sizes.
Divalent calcium cations (Ca2+) interact to stabilize the negatively charged phosphates of DNA surface and the negatively charged LPSs in the outer membrane. Calcium chloride solution is added at ice-cold temperature to enhance brining DNA and LPS molecules in proximity, mediated through Ca2+, by reducing the degree of disorder in the system. LPSs in the outer membrane shield membrane proteins that are required for DNA binding, so Ca2+ divalent cation abundant in solution reposition of the LPSs to facilitate DNA insertion into the cell at heat shock. By using these Ca2+ ions of the milk makes the Bacteria competent by creating the pores in the membrane of the Bacteria.
Ghee is analogous to drawn butter fat, which is produced by heating butter to separate out milk solids and water. It is prepared from cow’s milk, buffalo’s milk and the mixed milk’s as well.
Ghee contains fats, cholesterol, vitamins, tocopherols, lanosterol, free fatty acids, carotenes,
ubiquinone’s, etc. Ghee is prepared from butter but the impurities and the milk solids are removed, so people having casein and lactose intolerance do not suffer the symptoms on consumption. Ghee is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. The omega fatty acids have been reported to alleviate cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases.
Ghee also has anti-inflammatory properties. Butyrate is a kind of fatty acid with known anti-inflammatory properties present in ghee. Butyrate decreases TNF production and pro-inflammatory cytokines mRNA expression. Butyrate downregulates proinflammatory cytokines expression via inhibition of NF-kB activation and IκBα (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha) degradation. Β-carotene is present in high amount in cow’s milk when as compared to Buffalo’s milk. Β-carotene is also known as pro vitamin-A, as human body easily converts them into retinol (vitamin-A). The range of β-carotene concentration in cow’s milk is 0.05-0.20 mg/L.

Tulsi (Osmium sanctum) is an aromatic plant and has been employed in the treatment of various diseases such as antimicrobial infection, antifungal, anticancer, arthritis, chronic fever, antifertility, eye disease, hepatoprotective, antispasmodic, and analgesic, antiemetic, cardio protective. Tulsi is known to reduce blood glucose levels, making it an effective treatment of diabetes. Osmium sanctum is considered to have diuretic, stimulant property. It also serves in multidirectional ways by providing therapeutic and medicinal values which is significantly beneficial as it has phytochemicals which provide some antioxidant and anti-inflammatory values. Anti-inflammatory activity of phytochemicals from Osmium sanctum against cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is already known. COX-2 is expressed by inflammatory cells, such as macrophages and can be induced by TNF and EGF. It is the inducible form of cyclo-oxygenase and catalyses the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. It initiates the formation of prostaglandins and thromboxane which cause the pain and swelling of associated with inflammation. COX-2 is be inhibited by many phytochemicals present in the Osmium sanctum plant. Various types of the phytochemical of Osmium sanctum (tulsi) acts as a COX-2 inhibitor, like many modern painkillers, due to its high concentration of eugenol. Eugenol (4-allyl 2-methoxyphenol) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound. It possesses antiseptic, analgesic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiphylactic properties. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- induced acute lung injury, pre-treatment with eugenol inhibits the inflammatory response and leukocyte recruitment into the lung tissue by the downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) expression and NF-kB signaling. Eugenol also inhibits N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors which are involved in pain sensitivity.
Honey and jaggery have been used as sweetening and medicinal agents. Honey is a homogenous mixture of sugar and water. The sugar in honey are simple sugars namely fructose and glucose, accounts for 95%–99% of honey dry matter. Honey has shown to have an antimicrobial action against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi and also used as an agent for preventing autolysis and putrefaction. However, It has been observed that if honey is diluted with water, it supports the growth of non-pathogenic bacterial strains and killing of dangerous strains. Jaggery is obtained from sugarcane, and contains high content of reducing sugars. Jaggery is rich in important minerals (Calcium-40-100 mg, Magnesium-70-90 mg, Potassium-1056 mg, Phosphorus-20-90 mg, Sodium-19-30 mg, Iron-10-13 mg, Manganese-0.2-0.5 mg, Zinc-0.2- 0.4 mg, Copper-0.1-0.9 mg, and Chloride-5.3 mg per 100 g of jaggery), vitamins (Vitamin A-3.8 mg, Vitamin B1-0.01 mg, Vitamin B2-0.06 mg, Vitamin B5-0.01 mg, Vitamin B6-0.01 mg, Vitamin C-7.00 mg, Vitamin D2-6.50 mg, Vitamin E-111.30 mg, Vitamin PP-7.00 mg), and protein-280 mg per 100 g of jaggery The micronutrients present in jaggery have antitoxic, antioxidant, and anticarcinogenic effects. Jaggery has been used as carbon source in bacterial medium.
Curd is obtained from milk by sour¬ing, by a harmless lactic acid or other bac-terial culture. Curd contains 80-85% water, 5-8% protein, 3.2 -3.4% proteins, 4.6-5.2% lactose, 0.5-0.11% Latic. Curd is an excellent source calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and sodium, and is a significant source of vitamin B12 as well as a certain amount of folic acid. The natural microflora of curd is Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus diacetylactis, Streptococcus cremoris, Lactobacillus. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.
In 1915, Bacteriophage was discovered by Felix Twort and Felix d’Hérelle. It is well-known that bacteriophages are very specific; they attack only host bacterial cells without any effect on normal microflora. Bacteriophages of ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) group member and S. typhi. from different sources of water samples have been identified in ganga water. These bacteriophages are therefore known to kill a number of pathogenic bacteria in the ganga water. It is one of the reason behind the self-cleansing property of the ganga water. Apart from this the ganga water might be containing high amounts of genetic material of the millions of microorganism or natural flora of the ganga water. This might get transforming into the naturally occurring bacteria found in ganga water and cause genetic changes in the bacteria.
Exosomes are small vesicles produced endogenously by cells for intercellular communication. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano‐sized membranous structures which are lipid-bound vesicles secreted by cells into the extracellular space. The content, or the cargo, of EVs may be lipids, nucleic acids, and protein or other proteins associated with the plasma membrane, cytosol, or proteins involved in lipid metabolism. EV cargo, specifically nucleic acids, i.e., mRNA and miRNA to the recipient cells EV has compositional properties such as surface lipid/protein content and nano-mechanical properties including size and colloidal ability, which are important in EV-cell interaction. EVs can also serve as messengers by binding to signalling receptors on recipient cells or via transfer of functional cargo such as microRNAs (miRNAs), mRNAs, proteins and lipids. EVs can also infiltrate biological barriers through transcytotic processes or, for the smaller EVs, through small vessel fenestrations. EVs generally show minimal native immunogenicity when compared with artificial nanoparticles, and the immune response can be avoided using autologous. They can be modified by loading specific cargo or by changing EV surface molecules to target the EV to, or away from, specific cell types. EVs are known to secrete by all kind of cells including mammalian and bacterial cell. However due to the thick peptidoglycan layer, thick cell wall and lack of an outer membrane, the mechanism of secretion of EVs remains unclear in gram positive bacteria. Due to the versatility of the EVs, it has been long recognized as potential drug delivery system.

The exosome is an anionic molecule with a zeta potential (-1) to (-30) mV and 20-500nm in size as elucidated by the size distribution by intensity reports.
Estimation of total RNA in the drug sample by 260/280 ratio
Drug sample was diluted in double distilled water in 1:20 ratio and homogenized. The homogenized sample was filtered by 0.22µm Millipore membrane filter using a filter syringe. Samples were read at 240-300nm using a BioTek Epoch 2 microplate spectrophotometer. The estimation of the 260/280 ratio was carried out. Nucleic acids have absorbance is maxima at 260 nm. The ratio of this absorbance maximum to the absorbance at 280 nm has been used as a measure of purity in both DNA and RNA extractions. A 260/280 ratio of ~1.8 is generally accepted as “pure” for DNA; a ratio of ~2.0 is generally accepted as “pure” for RNA. Samples showed 260/280 ratio in duplicate samples (sample 1 and 2) to be 1.926 and 1.899 respectively. The Total RNA was estimated to be 90.942 µg/ml and 92.856 µg/ml
Extracellular- vesicular layer
Exosomal layer was lysed with the help of a lysis buffer to dissolve the exosomal layer in the M9 and M9-1 (composition of the present invention (Sample A), and in a separate control no lysis buffer was added (Sample B). The sample A & B were passed by binding column. and reading (260/280 ratio) was taken in microtiter spectrophotometer. Nucleic acids have absorbance is maxima at 260 nm. The ratio of this absorbance maximum to the absorbance at 280 nm has been used as a measure of purity in both DNA and RNA extractions. A 260/280 ratio of ~1.8 is generally accepted as “pure” for DNA; a ratio of ~2.0 is generally accepted as “pure” for RNA. In Sample A, the (260/280) ratio of the reading obtained was 2.122 and the concentration of RNA was detected to be of 12.669ng/µl. Whereas, in Sample B the (260/280), the ratio of the reading obtained was 1.417 (same as distilled water) and its concentration was 2.695ng/µl.

The instrument for the above mentioned process was of Biotek,Model- Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a22
nucleotide) non-coding RNAs that are essential for
controlling the regulation of gene expression. They act
via binding to specific sequences in the 3′-untranslated
region (3′-UTR) of mRNAs, leading to either
translational repression or message decay. miRNAs have
been linked to distinct biological processes in normal de-
velopment and their altered expression is implicated in
many diseases including neurological disorders, immune
diseases and cancers

Example 5
The isolated RNAs were used to prepare cDNA. The cDNA stands for complementary DNA, which the complementary RNA sequences. it is prepared using rtPCR in which RNA serves as the template in cDNA synthesis. Total RNA is routinely used in cDNA synthesis for downstream applications such as RT-(q)PCR, whereas specific types of RNAs (e.g., messenger RNA (mRNA) and small RNAs such as miRNA) may be enriched for certain applications like cDNA library construction and miRNA profiling. All the eluted RNA sample were normalised (volume equalization). Pipetting was done for proper mixing and subsequently PCR tube was run on the PCR machine for 37 minutes. cDNA was prepared and further used for RT qPCR.
RT-PCR Analysis
The expression of different pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with different autoimmune disorder i.e. IL-17, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-kb, TNF-α. c-DNA 2 µl, primers 5 µl (2.5 µl forward and 2.5 µl reverse) and SYBR green 20 µl was added in a PCR tube and volume makeup was done with NFW. Pipetting was done for proper mixing and then each sample duplet was loaded in 96 well plates. Plate sealer was applied and subsequently, the plate was put on the rotor for proper mixing. The plate was transferred to the PCR machine and according to desired primers temperatures and PCR was run for 1 hour 52 minutes. Cq value of desired genes was analysed at 80-93 °C, multi curved were checked. The gene expression was analysed for genes. The result are presented in Figure 2 and 3. Figure 2 shows downregulation of the inflammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-kb, TNF-α. Figure 3 shows that then activity of the probiotic composition is lost when the probiotic composition is treated with RNase (20µg/ml) and incubated at room temperature for 30 mins. The anti-inflammatory activity of the probiotic composition is significantly lost showing that the active ingredient is microRNA present in the probiotic composition.
