Background
Clostridium gossypii (Paeniclostridium ghonii) is a gram-positive bacterium having a rod-like form and mesophilic properties. The bacteria can move and proliferate in a binary division mode, belong to obligate anaerobic bacteria, and can grow by utilizing various organic substances. Under the adverse environment, the bacteria can generate the endophyte, so that the bacteria can resist high temperature and dehydration environment. Clostridium gossypii was previously known for a long time as clostridium gossypii (Clostridium ghonii), and was classified as clostridium (paeniclothridium) by sequencing its 16S RNA and performing phylogenetic analysis, and then combining it with clostridium bifidum (Clostridium sordellii) of the same genus. Clostridium gossypii belongs to non-pathogenic bacteria, and previous studies have shown that this type of bacteria has a positive role in the treatment of solid tumor cancers. This is mainly because vascular malformations inside solid tumors limit the supply of oxygen to create a local anoxic environment, providing a suitable environment for the growth of clostridium gossypii. On one hand, germination and growth of clostridium gossypii in solid tumors can effectively excite immune response, so that anti-tumor treatment is facilitated; on the other hand, clostridium gossypii can secrete collagenase IV and phospholipase C, so that apoptosis and necrosis of tumor cells are promoted.
The biosafety level of clostridium gossypii is classified into one class, and no reports of toxin genes and virulence proteins are seen. In 2022, a certain subject group in Canada finds a possible virulence protein in a clostridium gossypii strain NCTR 3900 by means of bioinformatics, and the protein is named as PG-toxin1-LC (namely PG1-LC described in the invention), so that the function of PG-toxin1-LC is not reported, and the potential application value of the protein is yet to be developed.
Chain-cleaving synaptogenesis associated membrane protein 25 (snap-25, synaptogenesis associated membrane-associated protein), an important member of the SNARE complex, which has its homologous genes in human, rat, drosophila, xenopus, etc. organisms, plays a key role in calcium-triggered synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release into synaptic clefts, and if the SNARE complex fails to form or is destroyed by hydrolysis, it blocks acetylcholine release, rendering the tissue unacceptable, and by using the above principles, certain muscle hyperfunctional diseases can be treated, or the hyperkinetic state of facial muscles weakened, leading to improved or eliminated wrinkles.
