Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioengineering technology, and to a method for separating and purifying polydeoxyribonucleic acid (PDRN) and removing endotoxins and proteins from salmon leucovorin hydrolysate using salting-out extraction technology. Background Technology
[0002] Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a mixture of DNA fragments extracted from salmon milt, with a molecular weight typically ranging from 50,000 to 1.5 million Daltons. As an agonist of adenosine A2A receptors, PDRN participates in salvage pathways in vivo, exhibiting significant effects in promoting cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammation. Therefore, it has wide applications in cosmetic raw materials, high-end medical aesthetics (such as "baby injections"), and the pharmaceutical field (such as tissue repair and ulcer treatment).
[0003] Salmon PDRN shares a 98% similarity with human DNA base sequences, exhibiting extremely high biocompatibility and safety. However, the industrial production of this highly active, high-value-added raw material faces significant challenges, with the core difficulty lying in the deep control of impurities, particularly the removal of proteins and endotoxins. Firstly, PDRN originates from animal tissues; impure extraction can lead to residual foreign proteins that may cause immune rejection or allergic reactions in humans. Secondly, salmon spores inevitably come into contact with Gram-negative bacteria during harvesting and processing, resulting in endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) contamination. Endotoxins are potent pyrogens; even trace amounts injected into the human body can cause fever, shock, or even death. High purity (low endotoxin) is a key indicator for PDRN to be used as an injectable-grade raw material, directly determining the product's market value. Existing separation and purification methods mainly include traditional alcohol precipitation, membrane separation technologies (ultrafiltration / nanofiltration), and ion exchange / affinity chromatography. While traditional alcohol precipitation is simple to operate, its ability to remove endotoxins is limited. Endotoxins are prone to co-precipitate with DNA; although membrane separation technology can retain some impurities, the high viscosity of the enzymatic hydrolysate can easily lead to membrane pore blockage, resulting in high cleaning and maintenance costs, and it is difficult to completely separate endotoxins and PDRN with similar molecular weights; ion exchange / affinity chromatography has high resolution, but the resin is expensive and has low loading capacity, making it unsuitable for large-scale industrial coarse separation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new method for extracting PDRN from salmon milt. This method utilizes salting-out extraction technology to extract PDRN from salmon milt enzymatic hydrolysate in high yield, while simultaneously removing endotoxins and proteins.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for salting out PDRN from salmon, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1: Add soluble salt and organic solvent to the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate, mix well, let stand and separate phases to form a three-phase salting-out extraction system consisting of upper phase, middle phase and lower phase. S2: When the organic solvent is a hydrophilic organic solvent, collect the intermediate phase; when the organic solvent is a hydrophobic organic solvent, collect the lower phase. S3: The intermediate phase or lower phase collected in S2 is purified and dried to obtain PDRN powder.
[0008] In this invention, a three-phase salting-out extraction system consisting of an upper phase, an intermediate phase, and a lower phase is formed by adding soluble salts and organic solvents to the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate. Based on the properties of the organic solvents, salmon PDRN contained in the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate is enriched in one phase, while endotoxins and proteins are distributed to the other phases. This achieves high-yield extraction of salmon PDRN and simultaneous removal of endotoxins and proteins. Furthermore, the natural pH of salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate is typically 6.0–6.4. This invention eliminates the need for pH adjustment and allows for direct use; PDRN can be obtained directly from the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate through salting-out extraction, eliminating the need for filtration to remove endotoxins and proteins, thus reducing costs and losses.
[0009] In this invention, the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate is obtained by enzymatically hydrolyzing salmon bladder tissue. A complex enzyme containing both proteases and nucleases commonly used in the art for protein degradation and nucleic acid degradation can be selected for enzymatic hydrolysis, resulting in a salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate containing PDRN. In some embodiments, the salmon bladder tissue is added to an enzymatic hydrolysis system containing the complex enzyme for enzymatic hydrolysis. After hydrolysis, the tissue is centrifuged, and the supernatant is collected to obtain the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate. Specifically, the salmon bladder is thawed, washed with water or PBS buffer, homogenized, and then the complex enzyme is added to form an enzymatic hydrolysis system. Enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out under appropriate reaction conditions for 5–10 hours. After hydrolysis, the tissue is centrifuged at 4°C and 8000 rpm, and the supernatant is collected as the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate. The end of the hydrolysis can be determined by the following method: the hydrolysis process continues until the pH of the hydrolysate stabilizes, the viscosity no longer decreases, and the fluidity stabilizes.
[0010] In some embodiments, the complex enzyme comprises a protease and a nuclease. Preferably, the mass ratio of the protease to the nuclease is (0.5-1):1. The protease may be one or more of papain, flavor protease, and neutral protease, and the nuclease may be one or more of restriction endonuclease Sau3AI and ribonuclease. Preferably, the complex enzyme may be a combination of flavor protease and restriction endonuclease Sau3AI in a mass ratio of 0.6:1, or a combination of papain and restriction endonuclease Sau3AI in a mass ratio of 0.5:1.
[0011] In some embodiments, when enzymatically hydrolyzing salmon calcareous tissue, the pH of the hydrolysis system is 6.0–6.4, and the hydrolysis temperature is 50–55°C. In some embodiments, the concentration of salmon calcareous tissue in the hydrolysis system is 50–150 g / L, preferably 80–120 g / L, more preferably 90–110 g / L; the amount of the compound enzyme added is 0.4–1% of the total mass of the hydrolysis system, preferably 0.5–0.9%, more preferably 0.5–0.7%.
[0012] In this invention, in step S1, soluble salts and organic solvents are added to the salmon ooze enzymatic hydrolysate, mixed thoroughly, and allowed to stand for phase separation, forming a three-phase salting-out extraction system consisting of an upper phase, an intermediate phase, and a lower phase. Specifically, the salmon ooze enzymatic hydrolysate is an aqueous solution. When appropriate concentrations of soluble salts and organic solvents are added, a three-phase salting-out extraction system can be obtained. For example, when the organic solvent is a hydrophilic organic solvent, the three phases formed, from top to bottom, are: an upper solvent phase rich in impurities (upper phase), an intermediate solid phase rich in PDRN (intermediate phase), and a lower salt phase rich in impurities (lower phase). When the organic solvent is a hydrophobic organic solvent, the three phases formed, from top to bottom, are: an upper solvent phase rich in impurities (upper phase), an intermediate emulsion phase rich in impurities (intermediate phase), and a lower salt phase rich in PDRN (lower phase). In this invention, two different phase-separation enrichment pathways for PDRN are constructed based on the properties of the selected organic solvents. When a hydrophilic organic solvent is used, due to the miscibility of the organic solvent and water, macroscopic phase separation occurs between the organic solvent and the aqueous phase under the strong salting-out effect of the soluble salt, forming an upper liquid phase rich in organic solvent. Simultaneously, due to the salting-out effect and the sharp drop in solubility near the isoelectric point, PDRN precipitates from the solution and accumulates in the intermediate layer under the synergistic effect of salting-out at the interface between the organic solvent and the aqueous phase and interfacial tension, forming a solid phase rich in PDRN. The lower layer is a PDRN-rich solid phase. The system uses a salt phase containing salt and hydrophilic impurities to selectively enrich PDRN in a three-phase system. When a hydrophobic organic solvent is used, the organic solvent and the aqueous phase are immiscible. Under the action of salt, the system forms an upper hydrophobic solvent phase and a lower salt phase. Since PDRN is an amphiphilic macromolecule, under the adsorption effect at the salt-solvent biphase interface, some impurities form a stable emulsion layer with the organic solvent. Due to the weak hydrophobic interaction and the influence of salting out, PDRN is mainly allocated to the lower salt phase, thereby achieving the enrichment of PDRN in the salt phase.
[0013] In some embodiments, in S1, in the three-phase salting-out extraction system, the mass percentage of soluble salt is 3-30 wt%, preferably 5-25 wt%, more preferably 10-25 wt%, and the mass percentage of organic solvent is 10-67 wt%, preferably 20-50 wt%, more preferably 20-33 wt%, based on the total mass percentage of the three-phase salting-out extraction system. In some embodiments, when the organic solvent is a hydrophilic organic solvent, the mass percentage of soluble salt is 3-30 wt%, preferably 5-25 wt%, more preferably 15-21 wt%; and the mass percentage of hydrophilic organic solvent is 10-67 wt%, preferably 20-50 wt%, more preferably 20-25 wt%. When the organic solvent is a hydrophobic organic solvent, the mass percentage of the soluble salt is 3-30 wt%, preferably 10-25 wt%, more preferably 20-25 wt%; the mass percentage of the hydrophobic organic solvent is 5-67 wt%, preferably 20-50 wt%, more preferably 25-33 wt%.
[0014] In some embodiments, in S1, the soluble salt is an inorganic salt or an organic salt: the inorganic salt is selected from one or more of sodium bisulfate, aluminum sulfate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, trisodium phosphate, sodium silicate, ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, disodium hydrogen phosphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, and ammonium chloride; the organic salt is selected from one or more of disodium hydrogen citrate, sodium dihydrogen citrate, potassium hydrogen tartrate, sodium formate, potassium formate, sodium oxalate, potassium oxalate, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, trisodium citrate, potassium citrate, ammonium citrate, ammonium acetate, sodium succinate, and sodium tartrate.
[0015] In some embodiments, in S2, the hydrophilic organic solvent is selected from one or more of ethanol, methanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, acetone, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, phenoxyethanol, propylene glycol, glycerol, butanediol, pentanediol, dipropylene glycol, propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, and polyethylene glycol.
[0016] In some embodiments, in S2, the hydrophobic organic solvent is selected from one or more of ethyl acetate, triethyl citrate, tributyl citrate, trimethyl phosphate, tricresyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate, ethylhexyl palmitate, caprylic triglyceride, capric triglyceride, caprylic / capric triglyceride, C12-15 alcohol benzoate, cyclopentamethoxysiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, phenyl polytrimethylsiloxane, n-octanol, n-heptane, n-hexane, isododecane, isohexadecane, mineral oil, liquid paraffin, hydrogenated polyisobutylene, squalane, jojoba oil, almond oil, grape seed oil, nut oil, sunflower seed oil, octyldodecyl alcohol, petroleum ether, toluene, benzene, dichloromethane, chloroform, and methyl tert-butyl ether.
[0017] In this invention, in step S3, the intermediate phase or lower phase collected in step S2 is purified and dried to obtain PDRN powder. As described above, adding a soluble salt and an organic solvent to the salmon bladder enzymatic hydrolysate in step S1 forms a three-phase salting-out extraction system. When the organic solvent is hydrophilic, PDRN is enriched as a solid phase in the intermediate phase of the three-phase salting-out extraction system; when a hydrophobic organic solvent is used, PDRN is distributed to the lower salt phase (lower phase) of the three-phase salting-out extraction system. Thus, the PDRN-rich intermediate phase or lower phase is collected in step S2 and purified and dried in step S3 to obtain PDRN powder.
[0018] In some embodiments, in step S3, the intermediate phase collected in step S2 is washed with ethanol and then freeze-dried under vacuum to obtain PDRN powder. Preferably, the concentration of ethanol is 70% to 95%, and the vacuum freeze-drying conditions are: temperature -20°C to -40°C, vacuum degree below 10 Pa, and generally vacuum freeze-drying for 24 to 48 hours until constant weight is obtained, resulting in dry, fluffy powdered PDRN.
[0019] In some embodiments, in S3, the lower phase collected in S2 is subjected to dialysis desalting and ethanol precipitation, washed, and dried to obtain PDRN powder. The lower phase is a salt phase, which contains a large amount of salt components in addition to PDRN. Because the salt components (salt ions) are small molecules, a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 10 kDa is used to remove the salts in the lower phase, thereby obtaining a PDRN-rich dialysis residue solution. 10 to 20 times the volume of ethanol is added to this residue solution to precipitate PDRN. The precipitate is washed with ethanol (70 wt%) and then freeze-dried under vacuum to constant weight to obtain powdered PDRN.
[0020] In a second aspect, the present invention provides salmon PDRN obtained by the above method, wherein the salmon PDRN has a yield greater than 5.0%, an A260 / A280 ratio of 1.8 to 2.0, an A260 / A230 ratio ≥ 2.0, an endotoxin content of < 0.03 EU / mg, a protein content ≤ 0.5%, and a molecular weight of 200 to 4000 bp.
[0021] A third aspect of this invention provides the application of salmon PDRN obtained by the above method in the preparation of medical aesthetic products and anti-inflammatory cosmetics. The salmon PDRN obtained by the method of this invention has high purity, with an endotoxin content of less than 0.03 EU / mg and a protein content of less than 0.5%, meeting the raw material standards for injectable / implantable biomaterials. It can be used as a core raw material in the production of medical aesthetic fillers, repair dressings, and functional anti-inflammatory skincare products.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention constructs a specific three-phase salting-out system, utilizing the slight differences in interfacial properties between endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) and PDRN, to effectively partition endotoxin into the solvent phase or retain it in the intermediate emulsion layer, while PDRN precipitates as a solid or remains in the salt phase. Testing showed that the PDRN yield was greater than 5.0%, the purity A260 / A280 was 1.8–2.0, A260 / A230 ≥ 2.0, the endotoxin content was <0.03 EU / mg, the protein content was ≤0.5%, and the molecular weight was 200–4000 bp.
[0023] 2. In a hydrophilic solvent system, this invention enables PDRN to form a dense solid layer at the interface between two phases, while impurities such as proteins and endotoxins dissolve in the upper and lower phases, achieving a one-step solid-liquid separation with extremely high purity. In a hydrophobic solvent system, the formed intermediate emulsion layer effectively adsorbs a large amount of impurity proteins and endotoxins, preventing them from contaminating the lower PDRN solution.
[0024] 3. The method of this invention can directly process the enzymatic hydrolysate, which does not require precision filtration or ultrafiltration pretreatment, thus avoiding membrane clogging problems. The reagents used are inexpensive, readily available, and recyclable, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production. Detailed Implementation

[0046] Example 6 Effect of different salt concentrations on PDRN extraction efficiency: This embodiment uses Example 3 as an example. Based on Example 3 (ammonium sulfate / isopropyl myristate system), the effect of different salt concentrations on PDRN extraction efficiency was investigated, that is, the difference from Example 3 is the amount of ammonium sulfate added.
[0047] Table 1. Effect of different salt concentrations on PDRN extraction efficiency
[0048] As shown in Table 1, the PDRN yield gradually increases with increasing salt concentration. This is because as the salt concentration increases, the intermediate emulsion layer becomes thinner, allowing more PDRN to separate into the lower phase, while endotoxins and proteins remain in the intermediate emulsion layer. Table 1 shows that under salt concentrations of 5%–25%, the PDRN in the lower phase maintains high purity, and the contents of endotoxins and proteins remain at low levels. Further experimental results indicate that when the salt concentration is greater than 30%, a three-phase salting-out extraction system cannot be formed, and high-purity PDRN cannot be obtained. Similar results were obtained in experiments conducted in other examples; therefore, in the three-phase salting-out extraction system of this invention, the proportion of soluble salt is controlled below 30 wt%.
[0049] Example 7 The effect of different amounts of organic solvents (extractants) added on the PDRN extraction efficiency: This embodiment uses Example 3 as an example. Based on Example 3 (ammonium sulfate / isopropyl myristate system), the effect of different amounts of extractant added on the extraction effect was investigated, that is, the difference from Example 3 is the amount of isopropyl myristate added is different.
[0050] Table 2. Effect of different extractant dosages on PDRN extraction efficiency
[0051] As shown in Table 2, the PDRN yield initially increased and then decreased with increasing amounts of hydrophobic solvent. This is because insufficient hydrophobic solvent is insufficient to create an emulsion layer for separating endotoxin and PDRN, while excessive hydrophobic solvent (e.g., 70%) leads to a surge in the amount of intermediate emulsion layer, causing PDRN to be drawn into the intermediate emulsion layer and resulting in a decrease in yield. Similar results were obtained in experiments conducted in other examples. Therefore, in the three-phase salting-out extraction system of this invention, the solvent content is controlled below 67 wt%, preferably between 20 and 50 wt%.
