Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant active polysaccharide extraction technology, and in particular to a method for preparing water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos based on enzyme-base synergy and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic disease characterized by progressive decline in kidney function and renal fibrosis, with a global prevalence of approximately 10%-15%. Existing treatments have limited effectiveness in intervening in renal fibrosis, necessitating the development of novel natural interventions.
[0003] Poria cocos is a traditional medicinal and edible fungus, rich in active ingredients such as polysaccharides, triterpenes, and steroids. Among them, polysaccharides are its main functional components. The polysaccharides in Poria cocos have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can reduce the production of inflammatory factors and lower the level of oxidative stress, thereby alleviating the inflammatory response and oxidative damage to the kidneys.
[0004] Poria cocos polysaccharides can be divided into two categories: water-soluble and alkali-soluble. Among them, water-soluble polysaccharides in Poria cocos can reduce inflammatory factors and oxidative stress levels by inhibiting the NF-κB-NOX4 signaling pathway, thereby alleviating lipopolysaccharide-induced acute kidney injury in mice. Although the activity is high, the content is low (<3%). The traditional hot water extraction method commonly used to extract water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos has an extraction rate of only 1.3%, while physical enhancement extraction methods are accompanied by high energy consumption and other side effects. The extraction rate of single / compound enzyme methods using Poria cocos as a substrate is limited to 15%, and the substrate utilization rate is low.
[0005] Therefore, the infusion of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos possesses anti-fibrotic and renal protective functions, but its low extraction rate and poor water solubility limit its application. Thus, it is necessary to improve the extraction method of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos to enhance its water solubility and bioactivity, thereby expanding its application in the intervention of chronic kidney disease. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos based on enzyme-base synergy and its application. The method uses alkali-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos as substrates and combines enzymes to prepare water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos, thereby improving their extraction rate and activity.
[0007] The technical solution disclosed in this invention is as follows: A method for preparing water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos based on enzyme-base synergy and its application. A method for preparing water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos based on enzyme-base synergy includes the following steps: S1, Raw material pretreatment: Pulverize the dried Poria cocos and pass it through a 50-100 mesh sieve to obtain Poria cocos powder; mix it with 50%-70% ethanol at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:5-1:10 g / mL, and extract it by stirring at room temperature 2-3 times, each time for 1.5-2.5 hours; Then mix with distilled water at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:6-1:8 g / mL, and extract by stirring at 85-95℃ 2-3 times, each time for 1.5-2.5 hours. Finally, dry at a temperature of 55-65℃. S2, Extraction of alkali-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos: The above-obtained system was mixed with sodium hydroxide solution at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:15-1:17 g / mL, stirred at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and then centrifuged to obtain the supernatant; Adjust the pH of the supernatant to 6.5-7.0 with 36%-40% acetic acid solution, let it stand, wash it repeatedly with distilled water 3-4 times, and freeze-dry it to obtain alkali-soluble polysaccharide from Poria cocos. S3, Enzymatic extraction of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos: The above-obtained system was dissolved in sodium hydroxide solution at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:3 g / mL, and a compound enzyme was added. Enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out under different compound enzyme ratios, substrate concentrations, hydrolysis pH, hydrolysis temperature, hydrolysis time, and enzyme dosage. The hydrolysate was then subjected to enzyme inactivation, centrifugation, precipitation with four times the volume of ethanol, dialysis, and freeze-drying to obtain water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, in step S3, the conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis are determined by single-factor and response surface methodology.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, in step S3, the complex enzyme is cellulase and β-glucanase.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the ratio of cellulase to β-glucanase is 1:3-3:1, the substrate concentration is 1-5%, the enzymatic hydrolysis pH is 4-8, the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 30-50℃, the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 0.5-2.5h, and the enzyme dosage is 9000-13000U / mL.
[0011] As a preferred option, based on the single-factor experiment, the Box-Benhken experimental design in Design-Expert13 statistical analysis software was used to establish a three-factor, three-level central composite design with the extraction rate of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos as the response value and the three factors with the greatest influence in the single-factor experiment—enzyme dosage, substrate concentration, and enzymatic hydrolysis time—as independent variables.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the extraction rate of the water-soluble polysaccharide from Poria cocos can reach 40%-42%.
[0013] An application of a water-soluble polysaccharide from Poria cocos: The water-soluble polysaccharide from Poria cocos prepared above is used in the intervention of chronic kidney disease to delay the progression of renal fibrosis.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the chronic kidney disease includes one or more diseases such as renal function decline, kidney lesions caused by inflammatory response, and kidney damage caused by decreased antioxidant capacity.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the enzyme-base synergistic method for preparing water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos disclosed in this invention are: through a multi-step extraction process, water-soluble polysaccharides can be efficiently extracted from Poria cocos with high extraction efficiency and purity, while retaining the active ingredients of the polysaccharides, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent pharmacological research and applications.
[0016] The enzyme-alkali synergistic extraction method not only improves the extraction rate and purity of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos, but also improves the structure and functional properties of polysaccharides through enzymatic hydrolysis, making them more suitable for pharmacological research and development. By combining the specific catalytic effect of enzymes, the method achieves the goal of efficient, green and high-purity extraction, improves the activity of polysaccharides, thereby increasing the extraction rate, and is suitable for large-scale production of functional foods and pharmaceuticals.

The quadratic regression equation model for the extraction rate of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos as the response value is as follows: Y=-244.40996+0.031761A+23.17564B+96.43357C+0.000354AB-0.006089AC+3.67656BC+0.000001045A2-5.17268B2-116.24690C2; Where Y is the extraction rate of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos, A is the amount of enzyme used, B is the substrate concentration, and C is the enzymatic hydrolysis time.
[0045] The quadratic regression model showed good significance, and the lack-of-fit term was not significant, indicating that the model can be used in the experiment.
[0046] Table 2 Analysis of Response Surface Experiment Results Based on the response surface results ( Figure 7-9 The feasibility of the model was confirmed. Therefore, the experimental parameters were further optimized using Design-Expert software. The optimal conditions were found to be: enzyme dosage of 12000 U / mL, substrate concentration of 3.03%, and enzymatic hydrolysis time of 1.06 h. Under these conditions, the extraction rate of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos could reach 40.99%, which is close to the predicted value of 40.04%.
[0047] Example 2 Grouping and administration of experimental animals Twenty-eight male BALB / c mice were randomly divided into four groups of seven each: a normal control group (0.25% standard diet), a model group (0.25% purified diet), a positive control group (0.25% purified diet + Haikun Shenxi capsules), and a Poria cocos water-soluble polysaccharide group (0.25% purified diet + Poria cocos water-soluble polysaccharide). Mice were fed either adenine-containing purified or standard diets for four consecutive weeks, with the purified diet inducing a chronic kidney injury mouse model. Mice in the 0.25% purified diet + polysaccharide group (100 mg / kg) received polysaccharide intervention via gavage, while mice in the 0.25% purified diet + Haikun Shenxi capsules (100 mg / kg) group received positive control intervention via gavage. The intervention lasted for 28 days. Urine and feces were collected and stored at -80℃. Mice were sacrificed after 8 hours of fasting, and blood, kidney tissue, and colon contents were collected. The colon tissue was soaked in paraformaldehyde for subsequent histopathological analysis.
[0048] Chronic kidney disease related indicator testing ① Kidney section - HE staining Mouse kidneys were removed, immersed in a protective solution, and then processed into sections. The sections were then scanned and analyzed. Results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the matrix components in CKD mice were significantly increased, indicating widespread tubular necrosis and dilation. After adding enzymatically hydrolyzed Poria cocos water-soluble polysaccharides, the matrix components decreased, the damage was significantly reduced, and the structure was largely preserved. This suggests that the sample can delay glomerular damage.
[0049] ② Blood biochemical indicators The levels of blood urea nitrogen, ammonia, creatinine, and uric acid in plasma were determined using a biochemical reagent kit. Mice were anesthetized after fasting for 8 hours, and blood was collected via orbital sampling. The collected blood samples were allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 hours, then centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected to obtain plasma. The separated plasma samples were added to the reaction tubes provided in the kit. The reaction tubes were placed in a colorimeter, and the absorbance values for each assay were read according to the kit instructions and converted into the corresponding detection results.
[0050] The results are as follows Figure 11 As shown, after intervention with enzymatic hydrolysis of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos, the serum ammonia, urea nitrogen, creatinine, and uric acid levels in CKD mice all decreased significantly. This indicates that enzymatic hydrolysis of water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos can reduce the glomerular filtration burden and improve renal function.
[0051] ③Inflammatory factors The levels of IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β were determined using an ELISA kit. Mouse plasma was first pretreated, and then the samples, along with controls and blanks, were added to microplates. After incubation with antibody at room temperature and washing, the plates were incubated with enzyme-labeled secondary antibody and washed again. Substrate was then added for color development, and the reaction was stopped with a stop solution. Finally, the absorbance was read, and the levels of IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β were calculated.
[0052] The results are as follows Figure 12 As shown, enzymatic hydrolysis of Poria cocos water-soluble polysaccharides significantly reduced serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in CKD mice, while increasing the level of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10. This suggests that enzymatic hydrolysis of Poria cocos water-soluble polysaccharides can improve inflammation in CKD mice and delay the progression of renal fibrosis.
[0053] ④ Antioxidant indicators of the kidneys The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in kidney tissue were determined using a biochemical reagent kit. Results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown, the addition of enzymatically hydrolyzed water-soluble polysaccharides from Poria cocos significantly increased the contents of SOD and GSH-PX, while significantly decreasing the content of malondialdehyde. This indicates that the sample can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity and has a mitigating effect on CKD.
