[0033] 1.2.2 Isolation of bovine placental peptides using virtual screening and chromatography

[0034] (1) Virtual screening method to isolate bovine placental peptides

[0035] The amino acid sequences of peptides in the placental hydrolysate lyophilized powder were predicted by AnOxPP (http: / / www.cqudfbp.net / AnOxPP / index.jsp), ProtParam (http: / / we-b.expasy.org / protparam / ), Innovagen (http: / / www.innovagen.com / proteomics-tools / ), ToxinPred (http: / / crdd.osdd.net / raghava / toxinpred / ) and AllerTOP (v.2.0) (https: / / www.ddgpharmfac.net / AllerTOP / ) to predict their antioxidant activity, stability, water solubility, toxicity and allergenicity, and the top five peptides were screened as potential bovine placental peptides.

[0041] 2 Results and analysis

[0042] 2.1 Components of placenta hydrolysate freeze-dried powder

[0043] The results of LC-MS / MS test of placental enzymatic hydrolysate lyophilized powder are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the peaks of the three placental hydrolysate freeze-dried powder samples all appeared below 400m / z, and the waveforms were similar, indicating that the placental hydrolysate freeze-dried powder preparation method used had good repeatability. After removing duplicates, a total of 128 peptides were determined, with relative molecular weights below 3000u, peptide lengths concentrated in 7-25, and derived from 85 proteins.

[0044] 2.1 Virtual screening method to isolate bovine placental peptides

[0045] The placental hydrolysate freeze-dried powder contains a total of 128 peptides. After the prediction of antioxidant activity, water solubility, stability, sensitization and toxicity, it was found that 68.75% of the peptides had antioxidant activity, 43.75% of the peptides had good stability, 68.75% of the peptides had good water solubility, 53.91% of the peptides were non-sensitizing, and 100% of the peptides were non-toxic. The top five peptides in terms of physicochemical properties were screened out as potential bovine placental peptides (as shown in Table 1) for molecular docking. By comparing with the known functional bioactive peptides in the BIOPEP-UWM database (https: / / biochemia.uwm.edu.pl / biopep-uwm / ), it was found that these five peptides were all new bioactive peptides.

[0046] Table 1 Prediction results of peptide physicochemical properties

[0047]

[0048] Molecular docking can be used to determine the binding affinity of cow placental peptides to Keap1 and screen cow placental peptides. As shown in Table 2, the -CIE values ​​of the five peptides are 109.87, 109.32, 105.85, 105.81, and 51.94 kJ / mol, respectively, which are all higher than the -CIE value of the positive control TX6 (25.58 kJ / mol), indicating that the affinity of the five peptides to Keap1 is higher than that of TX6, and ANNGKQWAEVF has the strongest affinity. Figure 2It can be seen that ANNGKQWAEVF can compete with Nrf2 for binding sites by occupying the area above the central cavity of the Keap1 Kelch domain ( Figure 2 A, docking 3D structure diagram); ANNGKQWAEVF forms hydrogen bond interactions through 13 amino acid residues including TYR334, ALA366, ARG380, forms hydrophobic interactions with LEU557, IE559, TYR572 amino acid residues, forms electrostatic interactions with ARG415 amino acid residues, and occupies 3 key sites ( Figure 2 B, docking 2D structure diagram), indicating that ANNGKQWAEVF is stably bound to Keap1. Therefore, ANNGKQWAEVF (H-Ala-Asn-Asn-Gly-Lys-Gln-Trp-Ala-Glu-Val-Phe-OH) was selected, and its molecular formula is C 57 H 82 N 16 O 17 , molecular weight is 1263.38Da.

The control group (group C), the healthy placenta extract group (group H), the model group (group M), and the model intervention group (group T). Groups C and M were fed with a standard diet, and groups H and T were fed with a standard diet + 1500 mg / kg / d of cow placenta peptide (the preliminary test results showed that among the four concentration gradients of 500 mg / kg, 1000 mg / kg, 1500 mg / kg, and 2000 mg / kg, 1500 mg / kg had the most significant effect on the improvement of intestinal sIgA levels, so this dose was selected as the formal test additive dose), once a day for 28 consecutive days. On the 26th day of the experiment, mice in groups M and T were intraperitoneally injected with cyclophosphamide (80 mg / kg), and groups C and H were intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of saline, once a day for 3 consecutive days. The body weight of mice was measured every week.

[0069] (2) Immune organ collection: Thymus and spleen were collected from 12 mice in each group, fascia and fat were removed, excess water was absorbed with filter paper and weighed for calculation of immune organ index. Immune organ index (mg / g) = immune organ weight (mg) / body weight (g).

[0070] (3) Small intestinal tissue collection and preservation: Three mice were randomly selected from each group, and one sample of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum was collected respectively. The samples were rinsed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution, and numbered for small intestinal mucosal morphological observation. The mid-section jejunum tissue samples were collected from each group of mice, rinsed with PBS, numbered, and stored in a -80°C refrigerator for the preparation of intestinal homogenate. Six mice were randomly selected from each group, and the mid-section jejunum tissue samples were collected. The samples were numbered, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, placed in enzyme-free tubes, and stored in a -80°C refrigerator for gene expression detection.

[0071] 1.3 Index determination

[0073] The DAO activity and D-LA level in each serum sample were determined according to the kit instructions.

[0074] 1.3.2 Morphological determination of small intestinal mucosa

[0075] Embedding: The duodenum, jejunum and ileum tissue samples fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde were rinsed in running water for 30 minutes, and then the tissue blocks were trimmed and dehydrated with ethanol from low to high concentrations. The tissue blocks were then placed in xylene to make them transparent, and then the transparent tissue blocks were embedded in paraffin.

[0076] Sectioning: Use a microtome to cut the tissue block into 5 μm thick slices, flatten them in warm water, place them on a slide, and bake them at 60°C for more than 2 h.

[0077] H&E staining: After the sections were dewaxed with xylene, they were rinsed with running water for 20 minutes, stained with hematoxylin for 30 minutes, rinsed with running water for 20 minutes, differentiated with hydrochloric acid and alcohol, stained with eosin for 5 minutes, and finally dehydrated with gradient alcohol. After being transparentized with xylene, the sections were sealed with resin glue.

[0078] Images were taken using an optical microscope at 100× magnification, and Image Pro Plus 6.0 was used to measure the height of the villi and the corresponding crypt depth in the tissues, and the ratio of the villus height to the crypt depth was calculated.

[0084]

[0085] 1.4 Statistical analysis

[0086] The test results are expressed as mean ± standard error. SPSS26.0 software was used for data analysis. One-way ANOVA was used for multiple comparisons between groups, followed by Dunnet analysis. P<0.05 was considered significant, and P<0.01 was considered extremely significant. GraphPad Prism9.0 was used for drawing. Table: Superscript letters indicate differences between groups, subscript letters indicate differences within groups, the same letters indicate no significant differences P>0.05, and different letters indicate significant differences P<0.05. Figure: "*" indicates significant differences; "**" indicates extremely significant differences; no letters between groups indicate no significant differences.

[0087] 2 Test results

[0088] 2.1 Results of test mouse body weight and immune organ index

[0089] During the entire test period, no mice in each group showed obvious poisoning or death. Figure 4 There was no significant difference in the body weight of mice in the first 21 days (P>0.05). On the 28th day, the body weight of group M was significantly lower than that of groups C and H (P<0.01), and lower than that of group T (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in body weight among groups C, H, and T. The thymus and spleen indexes of group M were significantly lower than those of group C (P<0.01). The spleen and thymus indexes of group H were higher than those of group C (P>0.05). The thymus index of group T was significantly higher than that of group M (P<0.05), and the spleen index was higher (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between them and group C. This indicates that bovine placental polypeptides can alleviate the damage of Cy to mice by increasing the body weight and immune organ index of mice, and will not cause adverse effects on healthy mice.

[0090] Table 4 Changes in mouse body weight during the experiment

[0091]

[0092] 2.2 Results of serum DAO and D-LA in experimental mice

[0093] like Figure 5 Compared with group C, the DAO activity and D-LA level in group M were significantly higher (P<0.01). Compared with group C, the DAO activity and D-LA level in group H were lower (P>0.01). Compared with group M, the DAO activity in group T was significantly lower (P<0.05), and the D-LA level was significantly lower (P<0.01), with no significant difference from group C. This indicates that cow placental polypeptide can reduce the integrity and damage of the intestinal mechanical barrier caused by Cy, and will not damage the intestinal barrier of healthy mice.

[0094] 2.3 Results of intestinal mucosal morphology test in experimental mice

[0095] like Figure 6 The villi of group C were intact, with neat and tight arrangement and clear boundaries; the villi of group M were damaged, with different lengths and sparse arrangement; the villi of group H were more complete than those of group C; the villi of group T were improved to varying degrees compared with those of group M. In addition, the height of duodenal villi, the height of jejunal villi, and the ratio of duodenal villus to crypt in group M were significantly decreased compared with those of group C (P<0.01), and the depth of ileal crypt was significantly increased (P<0.05). The height of villi in group H was increased compared with group C, and the depth of crypt was decreased compared with group M (P>0.05). This indicates that bovine placental polypeptides can maintain the morphological structure of intestinal mucosa by repairing damaged intestinal villi.

[0096] 2.4 Results of intestinal sIgA and β-DF detection in experimental mice

[0097] like Figure 7 Compared with group C, the sIgA level in group M was significantly lower (P<0.01), and the β-DF level was significantly lower (P<0.05). Compared with group C, the sIgA and β-DF levels in group H were significantly higher (P<0.05). Compared with group M, the sIgA level in group T was significantly higher (P<0.01), and the β-DF level was higher (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between these two groups. This indicates that bovine placental polypeptides can enhance the intestinal barrier function of mice with intestinal damage caused by Cy and strengthen the intestinal immune defense ability.

[0098] 2.5 Results of intestinal immune-related cytokine detection in experimental mice

[0099] like Figure 8 Compared with group C, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-10 in group M were significantly lower (P<0.01). Compared with group C, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-10 in group H were higher (P>0.05). Compared with group M, the levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in group T were significantly higher (P<0.01), the level of IL-4 was significantly higher (P<0.05), and the level of IL-1β was higher (P>0.05). Compared with group C, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-4 in group T were significantly lower (P<0.01), and the level of IL-10 was significantly lower (P<0.05). This indicates that bovine placental polypeptides restore intestinal immune function by increasing the release of intestinal immune-related cytokines.

[0100] 2.6 Results of intestinal oxidation index test in experimental mice

[0101] like Fig. 9 Compared with group C, the MDA level in group M was significantly higher (P<0.01), the SOD and CAT activities were significantly lower (P<0.01), and the GSH-Px activity was significantly lower (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the MDA level and SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT activities between group H and group C (P>0.05). Compared with group M, the MDA and GSH-Px levels and activities in group T were lower (P>0.05), the SOD activity was significantly higher (P<0.01), and the CAT activity was significantly higher (P<0.05). Compared with group C, the SOD activity in group T was significantly lower (P<0.01), and the other indicators did not change significantly. This shows that bovine placental polypeptides can improve intestinal oxidative stress.

[0102] 2.7 Results of relative expression of mRNA of intestinal barrier-related genes in experimental mice

[0103] like Fig.10Compared with group C, the relative expression of ZO-1 mRNA in group M was extremely significantly lower (P<0.01), the relative expression of Occludin and Claudin-1 mRNA was significantly lower (P<0.05), and the relative expression of MUC-2 mRNA was decreased (P>0.05). Compared with group C, the relative expression of ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-1, and MUC-2 mRNA in group H was increased (P>0.05). Compared with group M, the relative expression of ZO-1 and MUC-2 mRNA in group T was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the relative expression of Occludin and Claudin-1 mRNA was increased (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two groups. This indicates that bovine placental polypeptides can upregulate the expression of barrier-related genes, effectively alleviate intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by Cy, and will not have a negative impact on healthy mice.
