Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of in vitro cultured bezoar technology, specifically, it relates to an in vitro cultured bezoar and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Bezoar, a traditional and precious Chinese medicinal material, possesses the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the mind and soothing the nerves, and promoting bile secretion and opening the orifices. It is a core ingredient in classic Chinese patent medicines such as Angong Niuhuang Wan and Niuhuang Jiedu Pian. Natural bezoar comes from gallstones in the gallbladder, bile duct, or hepatic duct of cattle, but its formation rate is extremely low and limited by the cattle breeding cycle and resource distribution, resulting in a long-term shortage in market supply and high prices, which seriously restricts the development of related pharmaceutical industries.
[0003] To address the scarcity of natural bezoar resources, artificial cultivation techniques have emerged, mainly divided into two categories: in vivo cultivation and in vitro cultivation. In vivo cultivation involves surgically implanting a carrier into the gallbladder or bile duct of a cow to induce bezoar formation. While this method can produce a product with components similar to natural bezoar, it has the following drawbacks: it requires the sacrifice of healthy cattle, which contradicts animal welfare principles; the cultivation cycle is long, lasting 6-12 months, and is greatly affected by individual differences in physical condition, resulting in poor batch stability; the surgery and post-operative care costs are high, making large-scale production difficult.
[0004] In vitro culture, as a more promising alternative technology, simulates the in vivo bile secretion environment and uses cell culture and bioreactors to achieve the in vitro synthesis of bezoar, thus avoiding harm to animals.
[0005] However, existing in vitro culture techniques generally use culture media containing fetal bovine serum, which is not only costly but also introduces exogenous contaminants due to the complex composition of the serum, increasing the difficulty of quality control. Furthermore, the precise control of the culture medium during cell culture is not always sufficient. Therefore, existing in vitro culture techniques generally have long culture cycles, insufficient bilirubin content, relatively high production costs, and poor batch stability.
[0006] Therefore, developing a better method for preparing bezoar through in vitro culture is key to solving the shortage of bezoar resources and promoting the upgrading of the pharmaceutical industry. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an in vitro cultured bezoar and its preparation method. This preparation method, through optimization of the culture medium formulation, cultivation process control, and purification process, aims to solve the problems of long cultivation cycles, unstable content of effective components, high production costs, and large batch-to-batch variations in existing in vitro cultured bezoar technologies.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0009] A method for preparing in vitro cultured bezoar includes: (1) cell separation: taking fresh gallbladders from healthy cattle, rinsing them with sterile physiological saline, cutting off the gallbladder mucosa layer, digesting it, filtering and collecting the cell suspension; centrifuging the cell suspension, discarding the supernatant, resuspending the cells in serum-free culture medium, and adjusting the concentration of the cell suspension to 1×10⁻⁶. 6 Cells / mL; Serum-free culture medium includes: 1L of DMEM / F12 medium, with 5μg / mL recombinant human insulin, 10μg / mL transferrin, 5ng / mL sodium selenite, 90μmol / L plant-derived cholesterol, and 50μmol / L synthetic taurine added; (2) Primary culture: The cell suspension is inoculated into a culture flask for primary culture, and passage is performed when the cell confluence reaches 80%-90%; (3) Cell inoculation and cultivation: The serum-free culture medium is added to the carrier matrix, placed in the reactor, and the passaged cells are inoculated into the carrier matrix and then cultured; The cultivation includes: Proliferation phase: 20ng / mL hepatocyte growth factor is added to the serum-free culture medium; The reactor temperature is set to 37℃ and the pH value is 7.2-7.4. Dissolved oxygen content is 5%-8%, and stirring rate is 50r / min; Synthesis period: 120μmol / L cholesterol and 5U / L recombinant glucuronyl transferase are added to serum-free culture medium after 5 days; The reactor temperature is set at 37℃, pH value is 7.2-7.4, dissolved oxygen content is 5%-8%, and stirring rate is 80r / min; Crystallization period: After 12 days, the calcium ion concentration in serum-free culture medium is increased to 1.5mmol / L, and 0.1% calcium taurocholate is added; The reactor temperature is set at 37℃, pH value is 7.2-7.4, dissolved oxygen content is 5%-8%, and stirring rate is 30r / min; (4) Bezoar harvesting and purification treatment: After 30 days, the culture is stopped, and bezoar is harvested, washed, defatted, dried and crushed in sequence.
[0010] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (2), the passaged cells are pretreated in a solution containing 10 μmol / L chenodeoxycholic acid for 24 h. This treatment can help activate bile synthesis-related genes within the cells.
[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step (3) includes vaccination: on day 1, at 5 × 10 4 cells / cm 2 High-density vaccination, followed by a booster dose of 5×10⁻⁶ mmol / L 24 hours later. 4 cells / cm 2 This treatment can significantly improve the cell coverage on the carrier surface. The gradient density inoculation method described above, combined with the staged culture method during the culture period, can significantly shorten the in vitro culture cycle and significantly improve efficiency.
[0012] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step (3) further includes adding 10 μg / mL laminin to the inoculated reactor. This treatment significantly improves the adhesion rate between cells and the carrier matrix.
[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step (4) includes harvesting: removing the carrier matrix and peeling off the particles on the surface with sterile tweezers to obtain bezoar particles that are brownish-yellow or reddish-brown.
[0014] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step (4) includes cleaning the bezoar granules with 0.01 mol / L PBS buffer at 37°C using 180W ultrasonic cleaning for 10 min.
[0015] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (4), defatting includes: using supercritical CO2 extraction at 40°C and 20MPa to defatt the bezoar granules for 2 hours.
[0016] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (4), drying includes: placing the defatted bezoar granules into a vacuum drying oven at 45°C and drying them until the moisture content is ≤3%.

The synergistic cooperation between the above process steps can significantly shorten the cultivation cycle and increase the content of key components in bezoar.
[0021] (3) The method for preparing in vitro cultured bezoar provided by the present invention adopts a gradient density inoculation method combined with a staged culture method during the culture period, which can significantly shorten the in vitro culture cycle and significantly improve efficiency.
