Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular to a methyl jasmonate-induced phospholipid nanomaterial extracted from the adventitious roots of Xanthoceras chinensis, a preparation method thereof, an application thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition thereof. Background Art
[0002] Dendropanax morbifera, a member of the Araliaceae family, is an evergreen tree found in tropical and subtropical regions, often as a small understory shrub. These plants have upright stems that can grow up to 5 meters tall; the leaves may be unlobed or have two, three, or five lobes. Members of this genus have a moderate growth rate, reaching up to 1.5 feet (about 45 centimeters) per year. The flowers are yellow-green, the bark smooth and pale yellow-gray, and the umbels can reach a diameter of up to 0.4 inches (about 1 centimeter). Members of this genus typically prefer well-drained soil and partial shade. Various parts of the plant, such as seeds, leaves, roots, and stems, have been used in traditional medicine to treat headaches, infectious diseases, skin problems, and other ailments and are registered with the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS). Dendropanax morbifera contains polyphenols, essential oils, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, terpenes, and alkaloids. Previous studies have identified a variety of biological activities of yellow sumac, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, memory-enhancing, neuroprotective, anticancer, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, antimalarial, cytotoxic, and larvicidal properties.
[0003] The seeds of S. truncatum have low tolerance to cold stress. The harvest of seeds requires a flowering and fruiting period of more than 6 years. In addition, it was noted that seeds obtained through long-term breeding methods showed a relatively low germination rate. Due to the geographical limitations of the growing environment of S. truncatum, it is difficult to plant in other areas, and seed production takes a longer time. In vitro reproduction of S. truncatum species, especially research on compounds obtained from in vitro propagation materials Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivative methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are plant hormones that are widely used in induction studies in in vitro culture systems. Studies have found that methyl jasmonate can effectively increase the content of 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid in the adventitious roots of S. truncatum, and the increase of this compound significantly enhances the anti-inflammatory and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the adventitious root extract of S. truncatum.
[0004] The adventitious roots of the yellow lacquer tree contain polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenes, and alkaloids. These compounds are physically and chemically fragile, insoluble in water, or have negative effects. Improving the stability, water solubility, and bioavailability of the adventitious root extract of the yellow lacquer tree has important application value. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 1
[0052] The harvested adventitious roots of M. jasmonate-induced E. chinensis were dried, ground, and passed through a 100-mesh sieve. The sieved portion was the M. jasmonate-induced E. chinensis adventitious root powder. The M. jasmonate-induced E. chinensis adventitious root powder was mixed with a 70 vol% ethanol aqueous solution and ultrasonically extracted at 80°C for 1 hour. The supernatant was collected after each centrifugation. This extraction was repeated three times. The combined supernatants were distilled and dried to a constant weight at 10-60 MPa and 30-60°C to obtain the M. jasmonate-induced E. chinensis adventitious root extract (MeJA-DMARE). The solid-to-liquid ratio of the M. jasmonate-induced E. chinensis adventitious root powder to the 70 vol% ethanol aqueous solution used for the single extraction was 1 g:40 mL.
[0053] Methyl jasmonate-induced adventitious root extract of Ficus microcarpa was magnetically stirred with methanol until clear and transparent, yielding a 10 mg / mL MeJA-DMARE solution. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) was stirred with chloroform until clear and transparent, yielding a 2 mg / mL PC solution. The MeJA-DMARE and PC solutions were magnetically stirred at 30°C for 10 minutes, and the solvent was evaporated to dryness at 60 MPa and 45°C. Deionized water was added and sonicated until a thin film was completely dissolved in the deionized water, yielding a mixed aqueous solution (MeJA-DMARE concentration of 2 mg / mL). The mixed aqueous solution was shaken on a shaker at room temperature (25°C) and 70 rpm for 1 hour, followed by sonication in a water bath for 20 minutes and dialyzed for 2 hours using a 6000-8000 Da dialysis membrane. The dialyzed solution was freeze-dried to constant weight to yield the methyl jasmonate-induced phospholipid nanomaterial (MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome complex) derived from the adventitious root extract of Ficus microcarpa. The mass ratio of MeJA-DMARE to PC is 1:1.
[0054] The MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome prepared in this example had an encapsulation efficiency of 43.14±2.86% for MeJA-DMARE and a drug loading capacity of 36.50±3.64%. The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of the complex were determined by ultracentrifugation. The specific steps are as follows: 1 mg of MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome was centrifuged at 4°C and 15,000 rpm for 90 minutes using a refrigerated centrifuge. The supernatant λ was measured using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. max = absorbance at 310 nm and use the calibration curve (concentration range 0.05-1 mg / mL, R 2=0.998 (n=3)) to determine the amount of MeJA-DMARE, and the linear regression equation was y = 3.2607x + 0.0305. Entrapment efficiency = (actual measured mass content of MeJA-DMARE in MeJA-DMARE-Phytosom / theoretical mass content of MeJA-DMARE in MeJA-DMARE-Phytosom) × 100%. Drug loading = (actual measured mass of MeJA-DMARE in MeJA-DMARE-Phytosom / mass of MeJA-DMARE-Phytosom) × 100%.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] Methyl jasmonate-induced phospholipid nanomaterials derived from the adventitious roots of Eupatorium truncatum were prepared according to the method of Example 1. The only differences from Example 1 were that the MeJA-DMARE solution contained ethanol, the PC solution concentration was 6 mg / mL, and the mass ratio of MeJA-DMARE to PC was 1:3. The prepared MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome exhibited a MeJA-DMARE encapsulation efficiency of 57.90±1.87% and a drug loading of 54.98±4.90%.
[0057] Example 3
[0058] Methyl jasmonate-induced phospholipid nanomaterials derived from the adventitious roots of Psoralea corylifolia were prepared according to the method of Example 1. The only differences from Example 1 were that the PC solution concentration was 4 mg / mL and the mass ratio of MeJA-DMARE to PC was 1:2. The prepared MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome exhibited an encapsulation efficiency of 79.98±1.45% for MeJA-DMARE and a drug loading of 69.17±0.14%.
[0059] Test Example 1
[0060] (1) Tyndall effect
[0061] Tyndall effect is a phenomenon that often occurs in colloidal solutions. The prepared complex was tested by Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect can be used to infer the dispersion of MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome. The results are shown in Figure 1 It can be seen that the bright light beam can penetrate the MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome aqueous solution visually, which preliminarily determines that MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome is a colloid with uniformly distributed particles.
[0062] (2) Scanning electron microscope
[0063] The shape, morphology and distribution of MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome were determined by field emission transmission microscopy (FE-TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Figure 2 A and B in the middle, transmission electron microscopy images are shown in Figure 2 C and D. Scanning electron microscopy images show that the liposome-like vesicles exhibit a contiguous structure, uniform size, and good dispersion. Transmission electron scanning images reveal that the MeJA-DMARE-Phytosomes are spherical and translucent, self-enclosed, with a rough surface and no signs of particle aggregation. Clearly, MeJA-DMARE (MeJA-DMARE) forms a spherical structure when bound to phosphatidylcholine (PC).
[0064] (3) Dynamic light scattering results analysis
[0065] The size distribution, particle dispersion coefficient and zeta potential difference of MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome in water were evaluated using an ELS-Z2 series particle size analyzer at 25°C. Figure 3 , where A is the particle size distribution diagram and B is the zeta potential diagram. The results show that the prepared MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome has an average particle size of 210 nm, a small particle size, uniform size distribution, a small dispersion coefficient (0.16), and an excellent zeta potential (-25.19 mV).
[0066] (4) UV spectrum scanning
[0067] The UV absorption spectrum can reflect the changes in the unsaturated bonds of the compound. MeJA-DMARE, MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome and phosphatidylcholine were made into ethanol solutions of the same concentration and scanned by UV-visible spectroscopy. The results are shown in Figure 4 It can be seen that phosphatidylcholine has a characteristic absorption peak at 235nm, MeJA-DMARE has a maximum absorption peak at 310nm, and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome also has a maximum absorption peak at this wavelength, but the peak value is not as high as that of MeJA-DMARE of equal concentration. This proves that MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome has not undergone any change in its chemical structure and mainly exhibits the chemical characteristics of MeJA-DMARE. However, because the characteristic structure may be involved in the binding of MeJA-DMARE to phospholipids, the peak value of the characteristic peak has decreased.
[0068] (5) Infrared spectrum scanning
[0069] Infrared spectroscopy is an absorption spectrum used to study molecular motion. The position and shape of the absorption peaks in the infrared spectrum can be used to infer the functional group information of the compound. MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome was further characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to study the interactions between the functional groups on MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome. For FTIR characterization, the dried plant extract, MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome, and PC powder were concentrated at 4000-450 cm -1 Scanning within the range with a resolution of 4cm -1 , the results are shown in Figure 5 It can be seen that the fingerprint area (below 1500cm -1 ) showed that a new plant MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome was generated. The spectrum at 3439 cm -1 The spectrum shows a peak at 2932 cm, indicating the presence of aliphatic alcohol (-OH) groups commonly found in polyphenolic compounds. -1 and 2957cm -1 The presence of long chain fatty acid bands further indicates the formation of phospholipids. -1 ) and POC(1055cm -1 ) corresponds to the peak of the phospholipid bond at the phospholipid bond P=O (1463cm -1 ) and phospholipid bond POC (1055cm -1 ) are shifted to 1469cm -1 and 1074cm -1 Unlike plant extracts, the MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome spectrum showed a synergistic effect on its components. For example, with the OH (3439 cm -1 ) and C=O (1644 cm -1 ) are related to the characteristic signals at 3476 cm in phospholipids. -1 and 1652cm -1 The peaks merged into a new peak at 100 nm. This suggests that hydrogen bonds formed between the OH groups of the plant extract and the polar groups of the phospholipids. Therefore, these relatively weak intermolecular interactions may be a contributing factor to the formation of MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome.

[0071] Inhibitory effects of MeJA-DMARE, PC and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome on NO production in RAW cells.
[0072] NO plays a role in host defense within the bronchial epithelium and acts as an inflammatory mediator in pathological conditions. Nitric oxide is produced in abnormal conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and various inflammatory respiratory diseases. Therefore, inhibiting the overproduction of NO has become an important target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
[0073] Cells were stimulated with 1 μg / mL LPS and then incubated for 24 h. RAW 264.7 cells were then pretreated with different concentrations of MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome for 1 h. Nitrite levels in the culture medium were assessed using Grise reagent. Briefly, 100 μL of Griess reagent was combined with 100 μL of supernatant. The absorbance at 540 nm was measured. L-NMMA was used as a positive control (standard inhibitor) in this experiment at a dose of 50 μM. Each experiment was repeated three times, and the results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 .
[0074] Compared to the control group, NO production was significantly increased in LPS-treated cells. However, NO production in cells induced with MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome was significantly reduced, even at the lowest concentration tested (31.25 μg / mL), by 40.5% and 38.9%, respectively, compared to LPS-treated cells. In each treatment group, the synthesized MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome exhibited a stronger ability to inhibit NO production than the plant extract.

[0076] Inhibitory effects of MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome on ROS generation in RAW cells.
[0077] The cells were stimulated with 1 μg / mL LPS and then incubated for 24 hours. After that, RAW 264.7 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome for 1 hour. After 24 hours of treatment in serum-free medium, the cells were washed three times with PBS and then exposed to 20 μM 2',7'-dichloro-dihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) at 37°C in the dark. After that, the medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with 100 μL PBS. The fluorescence intensity of ROS generation was detected. The results are shown in Figure 7 .
[0078] The results showed that cells exposed to LPS generated significantly higher amounts of ROS. In contrast, when LPS-induced cells were treated with MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome, ROS production decreased in a dose-dependent manner. ROS production was significantly reduced at MeJA-DMARE concentrations exceeding 125 μg / mL. In each treatment group, the synthesized MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome demonstrated superior inhibition of LPS-induced ROS production in RAW 264.7 cells compared to the plant extract.

[0080] MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome inhibit the expression of inflammation-related cytokine levels.
[0081] LPS-induced gene expression is controlled by a series of signaling pathways, including nuclear factor NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). NF-κB plays an important role in the development of inflammatory diseases and in regulating the transcription of inflammatory mediators such as iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Macrophages highly express inducible NOS (iNOS), which is responsible for the synthesis of NO. The effects of MeJA-DMARE-phytosome on the expression of these factors were investigated using RT-PCR and qRT-PCR. Figure 8 Figure 1 shows the mRNA expression patterns of LPS-treated cells. Figures A and B show the mRNA expression of IL-6, C show the mRNA expression of iNOS, D show the mRNA expression of TNF-α, E show the mRNA expression of COX-2, and F show the mRNA expression of IL-1β. The results show that LPS-treated cells significantly increased the mRNA expression of COX-2, TNF-α, iNOS, IL-6, and IL-1β (8.86-fold, 7.38-fold, 11.67-fold, 8.70-fold, and 5.04-fold, respectively, compared to the untreated group). However, treatment with 250 μg / mL of MeJA-DMARE-phytosome reduced the mRNA expression of COX-2, TNF-α, iNOS, IL-6, and IL-1β by 1.16-fold, 2.31-fold, 2.37-fold, 0.11-fold, and 2.08-fold, respectively, compared to untreated cells.
[0082] From the comprehensive results of Test Examples 2 to 4, it can be seen that MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome has an anti-inflammatory effect.

[0084] MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome promote ROS generation in A549 lung cancer cells.
[0085] The ROS content in A549 cells was measured using DCFH-DA. A594 cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 environment for 24 hours. The harvested cells were treated with 125 μg / mL MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome for 24 hours, and the ROS production was measured. Figure 9 As shown. The results showed that a dose-dependent increase in intracellular ROS generation was observed in A549 cells after treatment with 250 μg / mL and 500 μg / mL MeJA-DMARE-phytosome compared to the control group. Bioactive compounds can trigger apoptosis of cancer cells by promoting the accumulation of ROS, and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome can promote the generation of ROS. Previous studies have shown that in lung cancer cell lines, MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome has a stronger anti-tumor effect than free polyphenols. The MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome synthesized in the present invention can induce the production of ROS in cancer cells, which may trigger multiple cell death pathways and ultimately inhibit the progression of cancer.

[0087] Inhibitory effects of MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome on the migration of A549 lung cancer cells.
[0088] The collective movement of cells in a cohesive manner is a significant feature of tissue remodeling processes observed in embryonic morphogenesis, wound repair, and cancer invasion. In this type of migration, cells move collectively in the form of sheets, strands, clusters, or ducts. Studies have found that preventing cancer cells from migrating and invading different tissues is a huge challenge in preventing and treating metastatic cancer. A scratch migration assay was used to evaluate the effects of MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome on A549 cell migration. In addition, a wound closure assay was performed to evaluate the changes in A549 lung cancer cell migration (%) before and after treatment with MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome (at a concentration of 250 μg / mL). The results are shown in Figure 3. Figure 10Figure 1 shows the migration of A549 lung cancer cells (A) and the amount of A549 lung cancer cell migration (B). The results show that MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome treatment reduced the number of migrating cells, indicating that both inhibited the lateral movement of A549 cells. Notably, MeJA-DMARE-phytosome exhibited a stronger inhibitory effect than MeJA-DMARE.

[0090] Regulatory effects of MeJA-DMARE and MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome on apoptosis gene expression in A549 lung cancer cells.
[0091] Figure 11 The figures show the regulatory effects of methyl jasmonate-induced extracts of the adventitious roots of Echinops chinensis and methyl jasmonate-induced phospholipid nanomaterials of the adventitious root extracts of Echinops chinensis on the expression of apoptotic genes in A549 lung cancer cells, wherein A and F are agarose gel electrophoresis bands of mRNA genes (from left to right: control, MeJA-DMARE, and MeJA-DMARE-phytosome), B is the mRNA expression level of the Caspase 3 gene, C is the mRNA expression level of the Bax gene, D is the mRNA expression level of the Bcl-2 gene, E is the mRNA expression level of the Caspase 9 gene, G is the mRNA expression level of the p38 gene, H is the mRNA expression level of the JNK gene, I is the mRNA expression level of the Nrf2 gene, J is the mRNA expression level of the HO-1 gene, and K is the mRNA expression level of the CAT gene.
[0092] Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic protein produced in response to DNA damage, which makes it play a key role in controlling cell death and serving as an indicator of intracellular genotoxic stress. Figure 11 As shown, MeJA-DMARE-phytosome significantly downregulated Bcl-2 expression by 0.24-fold. Conversely, the mRNA expression levels of Caspase 3, Caspase 9, and Bax were significantly upregulated by 2.37-fold, 4.53-fold, and 6.26-fold, respectively. The MeJA-DMARE-phytosome synthesized by the present invention can effectively inhibit the expression of apoptosis-related genes in lung cancer cells.
[0093] On the other hand, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is well known for its strong induction response to various stressors and many cancer chemopreventive drugs. However, in human cancers, overexpression of HO-1 provides cancer cells with a growth advantage, making them more resistant to chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. Nrf2 is a key transcription factor in the defense against oxidative stress, and activation of Nrf2 is an effective strategy to prevent cancer induced by exposure to environmental carcinogens. This activation is thought to be controlled by several upstream signaling kinases, including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs, such as p38 and JNK), which are able to regulate the activity of Nrf2. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the mRNA expression levels of p38MAPK and JNK were the lowest in the control group. However, MeJA-DMARE-phytosome significantly upregulated these expressions in A549 lung cancer cells (p38MAPK and JNK increased by 4.52-fold and 3.40-fold, respectively). In addition, MeJA-DMARE-phytosome was able to significantly downregulate these expressions in A549 lung cancer cells (Nrf2, HO-1, and CAT decreased by 0.37-fold, 0.79-fold, and 0.44-fold, respectively).
[0094] It can be seen from the comprehensive test examples 5 to 7 that the MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome synthesized in the present invention has an anti-lung cancer effect.

[0096] Stability testing
[0097] The in vitro stability of the MeJA-DMARE-phytosome prepared in the embodiment was tested in eight solvents: distilled water, 20 mM glycine-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH = 2.0), citrate-sodium citrate buffer (pH = 5.0), sodium phosphate buffer (pH = 7.0), tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH = 8.0), 5 wt% sodium chloride aqueous solution, 10 wt% sodium chloride aqueous solution, and 5% bovine serum albumin. The specific steps are as follows: 900 μL of solvent was mixed with 100 μL of a 10 mg / mL MeJA-DMARE-phytosome aqueous solution, and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for one month. No obvious wavelength shift was observed by UV-visible spectroscopy, and the wavelength differences were all within 4 nm. This indicates that within one month, the physicochemical properties of the MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome prepared by the present invention were almost unchanged, indicating that the MeJA-DMARE-Phytosome has good stability.
[0098] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
