[0076] The polypeptide with sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 was detected for anti-inflammatory activity, and the specific method and results are as follows:
[0077] After using C57 mice, the mice were orally administered with different polypeptide samples of the same concentration for 2 weeks, and the whole blood of the mice was collected by the method of orbital blood collection. The expression levels of inflammatory factor NO, anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and pro-inflammatory factor IL-1β in the serum of the mice were determined by ELISA kit, and the specific experimental steps were operated according to the kit instructions.

[0083] Detection of activity of functional polypeptide for promoting cell proliferation and differentiation of Example 3
[0084] The polypeptide with sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 was detected for activity of promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, and the specific method and results are as follows:
[0085] 1. Cell culture:
[0086] MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were subcultured and grown to a confluence rate of 80-90% before the next passage. The cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin (without EDTA) and seeded at a density of 2 x 10 4 cell / mL into 100 x 100 mm culture dishes or six-well plates and cultured for 24-72 h before subculture and storage.
[0087] 2. Cell proliferation experiment:
[0088] The osteoblasts were subcultured and counted when they were in good condition. The cells were seeded at a density of 4 x 10 4 cell / mL into 96-well cell culture plates and cultured in complete medium for 24 h. The original medium was then discarded and the cells were starved in serum-free medium. After 12 h of incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2, different polypeptide samples at the same concentration were added to the cells, and a blank control group was set up. Each treatment group had five replicates. After 36 h of incubation, 10 μL of CCK-8 was added to each well, and the reaction was carried out at 37°C in the dark.

[0089]
[0090] 3. Determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity for promoting cell differentiation:
[0091] The preosteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1 was seeded at a density of 2 x 10 4 cell / mL into 24-well cell culture plates and cultured normally for 2 days until the confluence rate reached 90%. The medium was then replaced with differentiation medium every other day, and the cells were cultured for 4 days. The medium was then replaced with serum-free medium overnight, and different polypeptide samples at the same concentration were added to the cells. The control group was not treated. The original medium was removed, and the cells were washed three times with pre-cooled PBS at 4°C. Cell lysis solution was added to the cells on ice, and the cells were scraped off with a cell scraper. The cells were dispersed by repeated pipetting with a pipette gun, and the cells were treated with a cell sonicator for 1 min. The cells were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm and 4°C for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected and the protein concentration was determined. The activity of ALP in each sample was determined using a Roche alkaline phosphatase diagnostic kit, and the results were corrected for protein concentration. The ALP activity was calculated relative to the blank control group, and the fold change of each group relative to the blank control group was calculated.

[0095] Preparation of active biofilm
[0096] Chondroitin sulfate, chitosan and functional polypeptide (amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1) were mixed in a ratio of 4:1:4, 2:1:2, 1:1:2, 1:1:1, 1:0:0, 0:1:0 and 0:0:1 by mass ratio in 10 mL of deionized water (in each of the above mass ratio groups, the mass-volume ratio (g:mL) of chondroitin sulfate to water was 4%, 2%, 1%, 1%, 1%, 0%, 0%, respectively), stirred for 4 h, and then ultrasonically degassed to remove air bubbles. Then, the mixture was poured into a petri dish, adjusted to a thickness of 0.5 cm, and dried into a film at room temperature or in an oven at 40°C.
[0097] After drying, the biofilm was carefully removed and stored in a desiccator for future use.
[0098] The active biofilm prepared as above was characterized as shown in Table 1. Figure 2
[0099] Example 5: Detection and characterization of active biofilm
[0100] The tensile force and puncture force were measured using a texture analyzer, and the water absorption of the active biofilm was also detected. The specific method and results are as follows:
[0101] 1. Tensile force and puncture force detection
[0102] Experimental method: The mechanical properties of the active biofilm were tested using a texture analyzer. The prepared biofilm sample was cut into a 0.9 x 6 cm strip, and the two ends were clamped with a clamp. The test parameters were as follows: the test type was tension mode, the test target was distance, the target value was 100 mm, the waiting time was 0 s, the trigger point load was 70 mN, the test speed was 0.5 mm / s, and the clamp was TA-DGA. The tensile strength and elongation at break were calculated according to the following formula:
[0103] Tensile strength (Mpa) = F / (h x d);
[0104] Tensile elongation at break (%) = (L-L0) / L0 x 100;
[0105] Where F is the maximum tension at break of the film sample, h (mm) represents the width of the film sample, d (mm) represents the thickness of the film sample; L represents the length of the film sample after stretching, and L0 represents the length of the film before stretching.
[0106] The edibility of the packaged food depends on the type of polymer matrix used in the packaging film, the type of additive and the interaction between them. The mechanical properties of the packaging film can be characterized by tensile strength and elongation at break. The experimental results show (Table 6) that the addition of functional polypeptide and chondroitin sulfate significantly improves the tensile strength and elongation at break of the active biofilm compared to other films. It can be seen that chondroitin sulfate as a polymer can produce a strong interaction between polypeptide and chitosan, so it can be used as a crosslinking agent to make the molecules arrange densely and promote the increase of the tensile strength of the film.
[0107] Table 6 Mechanical properties of the film
[0108]
[0109] 2. Water absorption test
[0110] Experimental method: accurately cut the same size of active biofilm, and weigh the weight of the active biofilm m1. The weighed active biofilm is immersed in ultrapure water at room temperature, and after 4h, the active film is carefully taken out, the surface water is absorbed by filter paper, and then the weight of the film at this time is accurately weighed m2. The calculation of water absorption rate is carried out according to the following formula:
[0111] W% = (m2-m1) / m1x100%;
[0112] Experimental results: the experimental results are shown in Table 7. The prepared biofilm has good water absorption capacity, can effectively reduce water evaporation, and has good application prospect.
[0113] Table 7 Experimental results of water absorption rate
[0114]
[0115] 3. Film thickness detection
[0116] Experimental method: the film thickness of 6 random positions on the film sample is measured by a manual digital micrometer with a precision of 0.001mm, and the average value is taken. Each sample is repeated 8 times.
[0117] Experimental results: the thickness detection results of the biofilm are shown in Table 8. Moreover, through the test analysis of preparing biofilm by using different amounts and proportions of chondroitin sulfate, chitosan and polypeptide, the thickness of the film increases with the increase of the solid content of the film.
[0118] Table 8 Thickness of film sample
[0119]
[0120]
[0121] 4. Water vapor transmission rate detection
[0122] Experimental method: seal the intact film sample in a weighing cup (diameter 4 cm, depth 4 cm) containing 3 g of CaCl2, then place the cup in a desiccator containing saturated potassium iodide (20℃, 70% relative humidity), weigh the cup every 4 h, for 48 h. Calculate the water vapor permeability according to the following formula:
[0123] Water vapor permeability = (M x x) / (t x A x Δp);
[0124] Where M is the weight difference of the weighing cup (g), x is the thickness of the film (m), A is the permeation area of the film (m2), Δp is the vapor pressure difference of the permeation area (2339 Pa at 20℃), t is the permeation time (s).
[0125] The experimental results are shown in Table 9.
[0126] Table 9 Water vapor permeability test results
[0127]
[0128] Barrier performance is directly related to the food preservation ability of the biofilm, and is usually determined by the water vapor permeability, which mainly determines the ability of the biofilm to prevent water loss during food preservation, and is mainly related to the permeability of the active biofilm. The permeability of the film is related to the degree of cross-linking between the components of the film, and a high degree of cross-linking can increase the path of water vapor transmission and reduce the water vapor permeability. The above experimental results show that the water vapor permeability of the active biofilm of the present application is significantly lower than that of the traditional chitosan film, and the reduction in water vapor permeability of the biofilm can improve its food preservation ability, especially for postharvest fruit preservation applications, the enhancement of barrier performance can reduce the respiration rate and water evaporation of the fruit, and more effectively delay the aging of postharvest fruit.

[0130] 1. Evaluation of wound healing and anti-infection effect promotion
[0131] In order to evaluate the effect of the active biofilm prepared in the above examples on the treatment of wound infection, a mouse wound infection model was constructed to evaluate the treatment effect of the active biofilm on bacterial inflammation, and the specific method and results are as follows:
[0132] BALB / c mice aged 6-8 weeks were placed in cages with standard temperature (24℃) and humidity (60-70%) for 3 days, and randomly divided into 3 groups (6 mice per group): normal group, PBS blank group, and active biofilm group. The mouse back hair was treated with depilatory cream and a razor, and then a 10 mm long wound was made on the back of the mouse with scissors (such asFigure 3 The skin wound was covered with 20 μL of bacteria (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, 10 7 CFU / mL). Different groups of mice were treated with PBS buffer solution and active biofilm, respectively (wherein the normal group was subjected to skin wound making, the PBS blank group was subjected to skin wound making and then the skin wound was smeared with sterile PBS, and the bioactive film group was subjected to skin wound making and then the skin wound was smeared with a film with a size corresponding to that of the skin wound and completely covered on the skin wound), and the mice were placed under simulated sunlight for 10 min. After 4 days of treatment, the mice were sacrificed and the skin wound tissues were obtained.
[0133] After the skin wound tissues of the mice were obtained, they were placed in 5 mL of sterile normal saline for culture. After the tissues were homogenized by crushing, the obtained solution was cultured at 37°C overnight, and the number of bacteria was determined by plate counting method.
[0134] The results are shown in Figure 4 The number of MRSA bacteria in the skin wound tissues of the mice was determined by standard plate counting method, and the number of bacteria on the skin surface in the PBS treatment group was about 5.26 log 10 CFU / mL, and after treatment with the biofilm, the cell density of the living bacteria was only 0.51 log 10 CFU / mL, which was significantly lower than that in the PBS treatment group and close to that in the normal group, indicating that the number of bacteria on the skin surface was significantly reduced after treatment with the biofilm, and the reduction of MRSA was beneficial to the healing of the skin tissue.
[0135] 2. Effect on the proliferation activity of skin tissue cells
[0136] The effect of the active biofilm on the proliferation of skin tissue cells was detected, and the experimental method was as follows:
[0137] 1) The skin tissue was placed in 1xPBS solution pre-cooled at 4°C for washing, and non-target tissue components were removed.
[0138] 2) The skin was cut into particles with a size of 0.5 cm 3 , and washed to remove debris.
[0139] 3) A small opening was made in the skin epidermis layer with a thickness of 200 μm, which helped the penetration of the enzyme solution.
[0140] 4) The treated skin tissue was placed in a centrifuge tube containing 50 mL of RPMI+2 U / ml Dispase II.
[0141] 5) The tube opening was sealed with a sealing film, and the centrifuge tube containing the enzyme solution and the skin tissue was placed in a water bath at 37°C and 60 rpm / min for digestion.
[0142] 6) 37°C water bath for 1 hour, during which the centrifuge tube was turned over every 10 minutes to ensure the skin was fully exposed to the dissociation solution.
[0143] 7) After 1 hour, the first round of enzyme solution was removed by rinsing with 1x PBS.
[0144] 8) The epidermis was carefully peeled from the dermis, and the peeling was performed in 1x PBS in an ice bath.
[0145] 9) The peeled epidermis and dermis were placed in a cell culture dish containing 20 ml of RF10 (RPMI + 10% FBS + 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin + 1% L-Glutamine) and 1.5 mg / ml collagenase; and they were placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for overnight or more than 12 hours.
[0146] 10) The supernatant was collected using a pipette and filtered using a filter with a pore size of 100 μm, and the cells in the dermis and epidermis were collected.
[0147] 11) After counting the cells, the cells were added to a 96-well plate at a density of 5x10 4
[0148] Results are shown in Table 10.
[0149] Table 10 Skin cell proliferation rate
[0150]
[0151] The above experimental results show that, compared with normal and PBS-treated mice, the proliferation rate of epidermal cells and dermal cells in the tissues of the mice treated with the biofilm has a significant growth trend, indicating that the prepared biofilm has the ability to promote the proliferation and differentiation of skin tissue cells in mice, and is beneficial to wound healing.
[0152] 3. Bio-compatibility test of biofilm
[0153] The above results show that the prepared biofilm has good photodynamic bactericidal performance and the ability to promote wound healing, but the biological safety of the photodynamic bactericidal system should also be considered. In order to evaluate the biocompatibility of the biofilm, a cytotoxicity test was performed using NIH 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts.
[0154] Experimental method: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) were used in the experiment, and the cells were cultured in 3T3 cell culture medium at 37°C, 5% CO2. According to 2x10 4 cells / mL density into a 24-well plate, and the adherent cells were cultured overnight in a carbon dioxide incubator. The original cell culture medium was discarded, and an equal volume of biofilm solution (200 μg / mL) of the same concentration was added to each well. The control group and the blank group were set up, and the culture was continued for 24 h. Then 10 μL of CCK-8 was added to each well, and the reaction was carried out at 37°C in the dark. The A450 value was measured by a microplate reader, and the cell survival rate was calculated according to the following formula: cell survival rate = (A treatment - A blank) / (A control - A blank) * 100%.
[0155] The results are shown in Table 11.
[0156] Table 11 Cell survival rate
[0157]
[0158] The results of the cytotoxicity test show that after 3T3 cells are treated with a certain concentration of biofilm for 24 h, they still exhibit a high survival rate and a high cell viability value, and the active biofilm exhibits good biocompatibility.
[0159] 4. Fresh-keeping effect evaluation
[0160] Fresh and intact plums were selected as the test object and were placed in beakers with open, ordinary PE preservative film, chitosan film, chondroitin sulfate, active peptide and active biofilm, respectively. The beakers were stored at room temperature of 25°C for 0, 2, 4 and 6 days. The L*, a* and b* values of the film samples were measured by diffuse reflection spectrophotometer in L*, a* and b* modes. Before measurement, the white standard plate was calibrated. The fruit hardness was measured by a fruit hardness tester (GY-3, Zhejiang Top Instrument Co., Ltd.). During the measurement process, two points were taken symmetrically on each fruit at an equal distance, and the peel of the test site was gently scraped off with a sharp blade. The hardness tester probe was pressed into the outer peel until the probe ring reached the outer peel. The fruit hardness of each group was randomly sampled and expressed in kg cm -2 .
[0161] The results are shown in Table 12, and the results show that in all treatments, the hardness of the fruit decreases with the increase of storage time. However, the biological membrane treatment can more effectively maintain the hardness of the fruit during storage than other control treatments. With the increase of storage time, the L* value of the fruit decreases, and the a* value increases. Compared with the control group, the a* value after the biological membrane treatment is lower than that of other treatments, indicating that the red flesh of the fruit during storage is significantly delayed, and the biological membrane prepared by the application has a fresh-keeping effect.

[0165] 5. Adsorption of pesticides
[0166] Experimental method: The adsorption capacity of the biological membrane for pesticides is detected by static adsorption method. The specific steps are as follows: 50 mg of common adsorbents: activated carbon particles, activated alumina, diatomite, macroporous adsorption resin, cellulose powder, chitosan, and biological membrane are weighed and added to 1 L of pesticide solution (100 mg / L), and stirred and adsorbed by a magnetic stirrer. After 24 h of adsorption, centrifugation (10000 rpm, 4℃, 10 min) is performed to take the supernatant, and after filtration through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, a kit is used to test the content of each component in the residual pesticide.
[0167] As shown in Table 13, the biological membrane has a certain adsorption capacity for each pesticide, and compared with the simple use of chitosan, the adsorption capacity is significantly enhanced. The active biological membrane prepared by the application has a good application prospect as a pesticide adsorbent.
