Incubate at 37°C for 10 minutes, then add 50 μL of DPP4 (10 U / L). Incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes. Finally, add 100 μL of sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.0, 1 mol / L) to terminate the reaction. Measure the absorbance of the reaction solution at 405 nm using a microplate reader. Perform three replicates for each sample. Calculate the inhibition rate as follows: Inhibition rate (%) = {1-(A 样品 -A 样品空白 ) / (A 阳性 -A 阴性 )﹜×100 Wherein: positive is glycyl-prolyl-p-nitroaniline + Tris-HCL buffer (100 mmol / L, pH 8.0) + DPP4 + sodium acetate buffer; Negative: glycyl-prolyl-p-nitroaniline + Tris-HCL buffer (100 mmol / L, pH 8.0) + Tris-HCL buffer + sodium acetate buffer; The sample consisted of glycyl-prolyl-p-nitroaniline + sample + DPP4 + sodium acetate buffer; The sample blank consisted of glycyl-prolyl-p-nitroaniline + sample + Tris-HCl buffer (100 mmol / L, pH 8.0) + sodium acetate buffer.

[0052] Results: As shown in Table 1, compared with the blank medium MRS which had no inhibitory effect, the CFS of Propionibacterium acidogenicum BL8 had a high inhibitory effect on DPP4 enzyme activity, with an inhibition rate of 81.3%.

[0054] Example 4 Propionibacterium acidophilus BL8 promotes insulin secretion Cell culture: INS-1 cells (rat pancreatic islet cell carcinoma cells) were cultured in RPMI1640 complete medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 50μM mercaptoethanol, 100 μ 1g / ml streptomycin) in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. Allow cells to adhere to the wall and subculture when the cell density reaches 80%-90%.

[0055] Promote insulin secretion: cultured INS-1 cells were plated at 1×10 5 CFU / ml was inoculated into 12-well plates at 1.5 ml / well. After incubation at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24 hours, the RPMI1640 medium was discarded and the plates were gently washed twice with KRBH buffer. The cells were then pre-incubated with KRBH for 2 hours to sensitize them to glucose. Fresh KRBH buffer containing CFS was then replaced and incubated for another 1 hour. The supernatant was collected and stored at -20°C for insulin determination.

[0056] Insulin content detection: Rat insulin detection kit (Solebo, number: SEKR-0033-96T) Results: As shown in Table 2, CFS of Propionibacterium acidophilus BL8 can significantly promote the secretion of insulin by INS-1 cells.
