Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a nostoc commune peptide composition with anti-inflammatory activity, an anti-inflammatory active peptide and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In current aquaculture, animal inflammation problems (such as intestinal inflammation, respiratory tract infection, etc.) are one of the main challenges affecting production efficiency and animal health. Inflammation is an immune stress response of the body to external stimulation, infection and endogenous tissue damage. Its occurrence is usually accompanied by excessive secretion and release of cytokines (such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, etc.), which in turn triggers an inflammatory cascade reaction of tissues or organs, affecting the health and production performance of animals.

[0003] In aquaculture, antibiotics are usually used to combat inflammation problems in farmed animals. However, traditional antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin can destroy the normal intestinal flora and may cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea or clostridium difficile infection (pseudomembranous enteritis). Gentamicin and vancomycin can damage the kidneys, and macrolides (such as erythromycin) or tetracyclines can affect liver function. The abuse of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance, making future infections more difficult to treat (such as MRSA methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and also causes drug residues and environmental pollution.

[0004] Natural anti-inflammatory active substances (such as plant or microbial source anti-inflammatory peptides) have become a research hotspot due to their high efficiency, low toxicity and multiple mechanisms of action. Compared with traditional anti-inflammatory drugs (such as NSAIDs or glucocorticoids), they have the following significant advantages: many anti-inflammatory peptides can specifically act on inflammation-related signaling molecules (such as NF-κB, MAPK, COX-2, etc.), reducing damage to non-target tissues and avoiding gastrointestinal damage or immunosuppression of traditional anti-inflammatory drugs; peptides are easily metabolized by the body, with low residual toxicity and reduced liver and kidney burden. Plant or microbial peptides often regulate multiple inflammation links (such as antioxidant, inhibition of inflammatory cytokines, promotion of anti-inflammatory factor secretion), with better comprehensive effect than single target drugs. Some peptides regulate Th1 / Th2 balance or Treg cell function, suitable for autoimmune diseases. Plant or microbial source anti-inflammatory peptides are widely available and their structures can be optimized.

[0005] Natural anti-inflammatory active substances have become a research hotspot, but existing plant or microbial source anti-inflammatory peptides have the defects of low activity, complex preparation process or high cost. Nostoc commune is a high-protein cyanobacterium rich in various bioactive substances, but the anti-inflammatory activity of its small peptides and large-scale application have not been fully developed.

[0033] (1) Extraction of crude peptides

[0034] 100g of *Ge Xian Mi* (a type of medicinal herb) was pulverized to 100 mesh and placed in a 500mL centrifuge bottle. 100mL of 0.02mol / L, pH 7.0 phosphate buffer was added, and the mixture was homogenized using a homogenizer (18000r / min, 12s, with 15s intervals) until the homogenate was uniform and viscous.

The supernatant was then subjected to rotary evaporation and freeze-drying to obtain a crude peptide powder sample, which was stored at -20℃ for later use.

[0035] (2) In vitro simulation of gastrointestinal digestion

[0036] The crude peptide powder was dissolved in phosphate buffer to prepare a 10 mg / mL solution, and the pH was adjusted to 2.0 by adding 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid. The solution was then incubated in a 37°C water bath for 10 min, while pepsin (4% of the peptide content) was added for hydrolysis for 2 h. After hydrolysis, the mixture was boiled for 10 min to inactivate the pepsin, and centrifuged at 5000×g for 15 min at 4°C. The pH of the centrifuged solution was adjusted to 7.5 by adding 1 mol / L NaOH solution, and trypsin (4% of the peptide content) was added for 2 h of incubation in 37°C water.

[0059] The identification and synthesis steps of the anti-inflammatory active peptide sequence are the same as in Example 2.

[0060] Example 5

[0061] Inflammation induction experiment

[0062] Sample preparation: RAW264.7 cells (mouse mononuclear macrophage cell line) were seeded in 12-well plates at a density of 1×10⁻⁶ cells / well. 5 cells / cm 2 Cell plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The corresponding peptides were dissolved in DMEM medium to prepare a 1 mg / mL peptide solution, which was then filtered through a 0.22 μm filter. When RAW264.7 cells reached approximately 80% confluence, the original culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS. 500 μL of the peptide solution was added for pretreatment for 1 hour. Then, 50 μL of 10 μg / mL of 50 μL LPS (a Gram-negative inflammation inducer that activates the TLR4 pathway in macrophages, triggering an inflammatory response and releasing NO, TNF-α, etc.) was added to DMEM medium to induce an inflammatory response. After co-incubation for 12 hours, the cell supernatant was collected, and the levels of NO and TNF-α were measured.

[0063] Application Example 1

[0064] RAW264.7 cells were cultured according to the above-described inflammatory induction experiment. NC was set as a blank control group, and no inflammatory induction experiment was performed. PC was the positive control group, and the inflammatory induction experiment was performed according to the above method without adding polypeptide solution. GP undigested *Ge Xian Mi* polypeptide was the crude polypeptide powder prepared in step (1) of Example 1 of this invention. SGP digested *Ge Xian Mi* polypeptide was the digested *Ge Xian Mi* polypeptide prepared by the method in Example 1 of this invention. The above-described inflammatory induction experiment was performed, and the NO content results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, compared with the NC group, the NO content in the PC group was significantly increased. Both undigested and digested *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* polypeptides could reduce the NO content in macrophages. Specifically, the NO content in the digested *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* polypeptide-treated group (SGP) was 7.45 μmol / L, significantly lower than the 11.256 μmol / L in the undigested polypeptide (GP) group.

[0065] TNF-α content as Figure 2 As shown, compared with the NC group, the TNF-α content in the PC group was significantly increased, and both undigested and digested *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* peptides could reduce the TNF-α content in macrophages. Specifically, the TNF-α content in the digested *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* peptide-treated group (SGP) was 467.3 pg / mL, significantly lower than the 763.8 pg / mL in the undigested peptide (GP) group. This indicates that the digested *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* peptides have a more significant anti-inflammatory effect.

[0066] Application Example 2

[0067] Experimental design: NC (no inflammation induction), PC (treatment method same as in Application Example 1), and peptide fragments PAG, LVG, LGV, and PVL were set up. The results are shown in Table 1. Compared with the inflammation-positive control group, the NO and TNF-α contents of the equal amounts of PAG, LVG, LGV, and PVL treatment groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Among them, the NO content in the LVG treatment group was the lowest, at 7.92 μmol / L, and the TNF-α content was the lowest, at 648.32 pg / mL, indicating that these peptides have good anti-inflammatory activity.
