Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a field, and in particular to a preparation method and application of antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber. Background Art

[0002] Ovotransferrin (OVT), as a key protein, accounts for about 12% of the protein content in chicken egg white and is functionally similar to transferrin in human serum, however, their sugar chain structures are significantly different. Ovotransferrin contains 0.8% mannose, no galactose and sialic acid, and has a molecular weight of 70,000-78,000 Da. Ovotransferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein associated with many biological activities, with multiple biological benefits such as anticancer and antiviral properties, and exhibits a wide range of antibacterial properties, showing significant antibiotic effects against various types of bacteria, including various Gram-positive and negative strains such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enterica. Therefore, ovotransferrin has the potential for wide application in the design and engineering of functional foods.

[0003] Infant diarrhea is a gastrointestinal disorder in infancy, a syndrome characterized by diarrhea and vomiting. Some newborns and infants will be affected by intense and excessive colic. The pathogenic factors are divided into three aspects, namely constitution, infection and digestive dysfunction. The main clinical manifestations are increased bowel movements, loose stools and water and electrolyte disorders. If not treated in time, serious water and electrolyte disorders will occur, which may endanger the lives of infants and young children. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, in developing countries, infectious diarrhea is the infectious disease with the highest incidence in young children, with a mortality rate of about 20‰. In Asia, Africa and Latin America alone, it kills about 4.6 million infants and young children every year. Therefore, it is particularly important to provide immediate and targeted treatment for diarrhea in young children.

[0004] Intestinal microorganisms and their metabolites make important contributions to human health by promoting the development of the body's immune system, regulating adaptive immunity and activating B cells or T cells to produce immune responses. When the body is infected by foreign pathogens, the disorder of intestinal flora is usually accompanied by a decline in the body's immunity, which in turn leads to diarrhea and damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier.

[0005] A large number of studies have confirmed that the gastrointestinal mucosal system can not only obtain various nutrients during the digestion and absorption of food, but also phagocytize and present foreign substances (antigens) through dendritic cells and other antigen-presenting cells distributed in the intestinal mucosal system, and convey information to immune cells, thereby activating the body's innate immune system and regulating the body's immune function. Studies have found that ovotransferrin is an avian acute phase protein that regulates the function of macrophages and heterophils by stimulating the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and nitrite, and promotes the proliferation of spleen lymphocytes to produce immune responses. In addition, ovotransferrin has the function of promoting the maturation of intestinal dendritic cells, increasing the number of beneficial microorganisms such as Akkermansia in the intestine, and affecting the intestinal mucosal morphology by increasing the depth of the crypts, which is beneficial to the expression of tight junction proteins in the intestine. Therefore, as a natural immunomodulator, ovotransferrin can improve intestinal microorganisms and reduce diarrhea and damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier, thereby enhancing the body's immune function. However, the current chemical drugs for treating diarrhea, such as loperamide and metronidazole, while relieving diarrhea, have side effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting and constipation. Therefore, the development of green, non-toxic, safe and effective food-borne products for treating diarrhea has broad application prospects.

[0006] The self-assembly fibrillation of ovotransferrin can not only enhance its biological activity, such as antibacterial activity, but also improve its physicochemical properties, such as solubility and thermal stability, thereby broadening its application in the food and biomedical fields. However, there are relatively few studies on the fibrillation of ovotransferrin, and there are basically no studies and inventions on the structure and functional properties of ovotransferrin fibers formed by thermal polymerization self-assembly. Secondly, the research on the mechanism of action of ovotransferrin fibers against different types of microorganisms and their influencing factors is still insufficient, which limits the potential of applying ovotransferrin fibers in the antibacterial field. Summary of the invention

[0043] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can understand.

[0044] The method for preparing the antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0045] (1) dissolving ovotransferrin (hereinafter referred to as OVT) in deionized water to prepare an ovotransferrin solution (OVT solution) with a mass fraction of 1.5 to 2% (w / w);

[0046] (2) using 2 M hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH of the ovotransferrin solution to 1.5-2.0;

[0047] (3) The ovotransferrin solution is heated at a temperature greater than 85° C. and less than or equal to 95° C., and then quickly placed in an ice water bath to terminate the reaction. The powder obtained by freeze drying is the antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber (hereinafter referred to as OVTF).

[0048] Example 1

[0049] The protein structure characterization and determination of the antibacterial ovotransferrin fibers prepared based on the above method.

[0050] The antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber structure was characterized by ThT fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, transmission electron microscopy observation, surface hydrophobicity test, Zeta potential measurement, SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, and ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy analysis.

[0051] 1. ThT fluorescence spectrum analysis

[0052] a. Prepare ThT concentrate by dissolving 8 mg ThT in 10 mL phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 7.0) containing 150 mM NaCl. Remove undissolved particles with a 0.22 μm filter. The concentrate should be stored in a dark place at 4°C and covered with tin foil. Before each measurement, dilute the ThT concentrate 50 times with PBS to obtain the ThT working solution.

[0053] b. Mix 40 μL of sample (20 mg / mL) with 4 mL of ThT working solution. After reacting for 2 min, measure ThT fluorescence using IF-5401 fluorescence spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Japan). Set the excitation wavelength to 460 nm, the emission wavelength range to 450-600 nm, and the slit width to 5 nm. Record the maximum absorption peak height at around 489 nm.

[0054] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown: When the heating time was 16 h, the antibacterial ovotransferrin fibers showed the highest fluorescence intensity and formed the largest number of fibers.

[0055] 2. Transmission electron microscopy observation

[0056] The prepared protein fiber solution was diluted to a protein concentration of 0.1% (w / v), and 1 to 2 drops of the sample to be tested were adsorbed onto a copper mesh plate and dried for about 10 minutes. The microscopic morphology of the sample was observed using an H-7650 transmission electron microscope (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) using an operating voltage of 100 kV.

[0057] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown: After heating for 16 hours, the largest number of long and short fibers were observed.

[0058] 3. Surface hydrophobicity test

[0059] 8-phenylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) is used as a fluorescent probe for detection; the specific process is as follows:

[0060] First, various protein samples were diluted to a concentration of 0.01 to 0.05 mg / mL with 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.2). Then, 20 μL of ANS solution (concentration of 8 mM) was added to 4 mL of the protein dilution solution. When recording the fluorescence emission spectrum, 390 nm was selected as the excitation wavelength and 470 nm as the emission wavelength, and the slit width was set to 5 nm. By analyzing the initial slope of the trend line of fluorescence intensity changing with protein concentration, the change in hydrophobicity of the protein surface was observed.

[0061] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the surface hydrophobicity increased significantly during the first 8 h of heat treatment at pH 2. After 8 h of heating, the surface hydrophobicity gradually decreased.

[0062] 4. Zeta potential measurement

[0063] The protein fiber samples were diluted with buffer solution (5 mM PBS, pH 2.0) at a 20-fold dilution concentration to avoid multiple scattering effects. The samples were equilibrated at 25°C for 60 seconds in a dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer (Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK). Data were collected for at least 12 consecutive readings.

[0064] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown: After 16 hours of heating treatment, the highest charge was observed, indicating that there was a significant electrostatic repulsion between the protein fibers, forming a self-assembled protein fiber structure, which led to the enhanced stability of the solution.

[0065] 5. SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis

[0066] First, the sample was diluted to a concentration of 2 mg / mL with deionized water and used together with the initial protein solution for gel electrophoresis using a DYCZ-24DN gel electrophoresis instrument (Six One Factory, Beijing). 80 μL of the sample was placed in a 200 μL centrifuge tube and an appropriate amount of loading buffer was added. Before spotting, the sample was heated in boiling water for 5 min to achieve protein binding and denaturation with SDS, and the spotting volume was set to 10 μL. During the gel electrophoresis, a constant voltage mode was used. In the initial stage, a fixed voltage of 80 V was used for electrophoresis separation of the concentrated gel. When the sample entered the separation gel, the voltage was adjusted to 120 V. After the electrophoresis was completed, the film needed to be immersed in a solution containing ethanol and acetic acid for 30 min. Subsequently, the film was transferred to a staining solution (containing 0.25% Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250, 50% methanol, and 10% acetic acid) for 1 h of staining. A decolorizing solution prepared by mixing methanol, acetic acid and water in a volume ratio of 2:2:9 was used for decolorizing until the stripes were clearly visible and the background color completely disappeared.

[0067] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown: As the heating treatment time increases, the stripes in the molecular weight range gradually weaken and become thinner, and more low molecular weight stripes appear, indicating that the protein is hydrolyzed into smaller fragments and develops into mature self-assembled protein fibers.

[0068] 6. Ultraviolet spectrum analysis

[0069] The samples were diluted to a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL with deionized water and scanned using a Nanodrop 2000C UV spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) in the wavelength range of 230 to 350 nm, with 295 nm set as the excitation wavelength, and deionized water was used as the buffer solution blank control. Each sample was scanned three times, and the average of the three scans was used as the final result, and deionized water was used as the reference background for analysis.

[0070] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown: With the increase of heating time and temperature, the UV absorption intensity of OVT shows an upward trend, confirming that heating causes the protein structure to unfold and form fibers.

[0071] 7. Infrared spectroscopy analysis

[0072] The ovotransferrin fiber sample was freeze-dried to turn it into a powder state, and then 1 to 3 mg of dry sample powder was taken out. Next, the extracted sample was mixed with dry potassium bromide (KBr) powder at a ratio of 1:100 and ground into powder for tablet preparation. Then, the prepared tablets were scanned and analyzed using a NEXUS670 Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), and the measurement parameters were set as follows: the scanning range was 4000 to 400 cm at room temperature 25°C. -1 , the instrument resolution is set to 4cm -1 , 32 scans were performed, using air as the scanning background. Background subtraction was performed before scanning each sample.

[0073] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown: within the initial 8 hours of heating, the secondary structure of ovotransferrin has changed, the content of α-helix structure has decreased, and the content of β-fold has increased.

[0074] Table 1 shows that compared with the unheated samples, the heating treatment significantly changed the secondary structure of the OVT samples, thereby promoting the formation of protein fibers. It is particularly noteworthy that the sample heated for 16 hours has the highest β-fold content, reaching 27.42%. In addition, too high a temperature or too long a heating time may also lead to a reduction in the proportion of β-fold structure.

[0075] Table 1 Secondary structure distribution of antibacterial ovotransferrin fibers at different heating times

[0076]

[0077] Example 2

[0078] The method for preparing antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber comprises the following steps:

[0079] (1) Dissolve 1 g of ovotransferrin in 50 mL of deionized water to obtain an OVT solution with a mass fraction of 2% (w / w).

[0080] (2) Add 2 M hydrochloric acid to the OVT solution until the pH value is 2.0.

[0081] (3) The OVT solution was transferred to a water bath at 90°C and heated with stirring for 16 h, then quickly placed in an ice water bath to terminate the reaction, and freeze-dried to obtain a powder, which is the antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber (OVTF).

[0082] Comparative Example 1

[0083] Preparation method of ovotransferrin oligomer

[0084] (1) Dissolve 1 g of OVT in 50 mL of deionized water to obtain a 2% (w / w) OVT solution.

[0085] (2) Add 2 M hydrochloric acid to the OVT solution and adjust its pH to 2.0 using a pH meter.

[0086] (3) The OVT solution was transferred to a water bath, heated and stirred at 37°C, and immediately placed in an ice water bath after 16 h to terminate the reaction. The resulting powder was freeze-dried to obtain ovotransferrin oligomer (hereinafter referred to as Oligomer).

[0087] Example 3

[0088] Detection of antibacterial activity of ovotransferrin fibers

[0089] 1. The antibacterial effect of antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber was evaluated by the disc diffusion method, which includes the following steps:

[0090] (1) Cultivate bacteria E. coli and S. aureus and adjust the concentration to 1×10 6 CFU / mL, and spread the bacterial suspension evenly on the surface of LB agar medium.

[0091] (2) A paper sheet with a diameter of 6 mm was placed on the LB agar medium, and a 50 μg / mL ovotransferrin oligomer solution and a 50 μg / mL antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber solution were dripped onto the paper sheet, respectively, with a dosage of 10 μL for each.

[0092] (3) The culture dish was placed in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C for 12 h, and the antibacterial ability was determined by measuring the size of the inhibition zone around the paper.

[0093] The results are as follows Figure 8 As described above, an inhibition zone appeared around the paper sheet to which ovotransferrin oligomer and antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber were dropped, and compared with ovotransferrin oligomer, antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber had a larger and more obvious inhibition zone, indicating that antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber had higher antibacterial activity.

[0094] 2. The colony counting method was used to determine the colony forming units to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber on E. coli and S. aureus, including the following steps:

[0095] (1) E. coli and S. aureus were inoculated into LB medium and cultured overnight under an aerobic environment for proliferation. The concentrations of E. coli and S. aureus were adjusted to approximately 10% using Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.2. 6 The density of CFU / mL.

[0096] (2) Prepare ovotransferrin oligomer solutions and antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber solutions with concentrations of 2, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg / mL, respectively.

[0097] (3) Incubate the cells with the same volume of ovotransferrin oligomer solution and the antibacterial ovotransferrin fiber solution at 30°C for about 10 min. 6 CFU / mL of the above bacteria for 6h.

[0098] (4) After the incubation, the same volume of the sample was diluted tenfold, and 100 μL of the diluted sample was spread on an LB agar plate containing 1.5% (w / v) agar. After culturing at 37° C. for 24 h, the cell survival rate was quantitatively analyzed by CFU counting method.

[0099] The results are as follows Fig. 9 As shown, it was revealed that the antibacterial ovotransferrin fibers exhibited significant antibacterial advantages against E. coli and S. aureus in the concentration range of 10 to 200 μg / mL, which was superior to ovotransferrin and ovotransferrin oligomers.

[0100] Example 4

[0101] Determination of minimum inhibitory concentration of different substances

[0102] First, each sample (OVTF, OVT and Oligomer, respectively) was diluted to 1 mg / mL with phosphate buffer, and then 2-fold serial dilutions were performed using LB broth on a 96-well microplate. Next, 10 μL of bacterial suspension was inoculated in each well. After incubation at 37°C for 24 h, the lowest concentration at which no growth was observed was recorded as the MIC value by visual observation and detection with an M 200Pro NanoQuant microplate reader (Tecan, Switzerland). MIC is defined as the minimum sample concentration that prevents bacterial growth.

[0103] The results are shown in Table 2. The MIC value of OVTF against E. coli was 128 μg / mL, while the MIC values ​​of OVT and Oligomer were both over 256 μg / mL. In the test against S. aureus, OVTF showed the best inhibitory effect, with a MIC of only 64 μg / mL. Overall, OVTF has the highest antibacterial activity against these two bacteria.

[0110] Comparative Example 3

[0111] Oligomer antimicrobial agent: Dissolve the oligomer in deionized water to prepare a 150 μg / mL solution to obtain the oligomer antimicrobial agent.

[0112] 2. Scanning electron microscopy analysis

[0113] Quanta 250FEG scanning electron microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) was used to analyze and observe the effects of sample solutions on bacterial cell morphology and surface structure. Bacterial cells were treated with PBS buffer, OVTF antimicrobial agent, OVT antimicrobial agent and Oligomer antimicrobial agent, respectively, and incubated at 37°C for 2 h.

[0114] After collection and washing with PBS, the bacterial cells were fixed with 2.5% (w / v) glutaraldehyde at 4°C overnight, followed by washing the cells with 0.1M PBS, and then dehydrated through a series of increasing concentrations of ethanol (30%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 95% and 100%), each dehydration step lasting 15 min. After dehydration, the bacterial cells were coated with gold-palladium alloy and observed at a voltage of 15 kV.

[0115] The results show that Fig.10 It was revealed that for Gram-negative E. coli, the integrity of its cell wall was relatively maintained after treatment with OVT and Oligomer antimicrobial agents. However, when exposed to OVTF antimicrobial agents, E. coli showed larger pore formation and obvious cell collapse. In Gram-positive S. aureus, only OVT antimicrobial treatment maintained cell structural integrity similar to that of the control group. In contrast, S. aureus treated with Oligomer and OVTF antimicrobial agents showed volume reduction and collapse, and OVTF antimicrobial treatment also led to more obvious cell aggregation.
