[0022] The specific technical scheme of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Effects of DON poisoning on cell morphology and activity and detoxification effects of different concentrations of licorice polysaccharides

[0025] 1. Detection method:

[0026] (1) IPEC-J2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were selected and cultured at 1.0×10 5 The cells were evenly inoculated at a density of 100 cells / mL in a 96-well cell culture plate, and the culture plate was placed in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 to promote cell attachment and growth, and incubated for 24 hours;

[0027] (2): After the cells adhered to the wall, the nutrient solution was discarded, and different concentrations (200, 400, 800 μg / mL) of glycyrrhizic polysaccharides were added and incubated for 6 h, and then 0 or 0.5 μg / mL DON was added for testing;

[0028] (3): After 24 h of DON treatment, the culture medium was discarded, the cells were washed twice with PBS, and the pre-prepared CCK-8 working solution was added and incubated for 2 h. The absorbance (OD) value at 450 nm was detected by a microplate reader;

[0029] 2. Experimental results:

[0030] Test results such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the cell activity of the 0.5 μg / mL DON treatment group was significantly reduced, while the cell activity of the glycyrrhizic polysaccharide pretreatment group was significantly higher than that of the DON group, and the cell activity of 400 μg / mL and 800 μg / mL was close to that of the control group, indicating that glycyrrhizic polysaccharides can alleviate DON-induced cell damage. Combined with the cell activity test results, 400 μg / mL glycyrrhizic polysaccharide was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Effects of DON poisoning on cell apoptosis and detoxification effects of different concentrations of licorice polysaccharides

[0033] 1. Detection method:

[0034] (1) IPEC-J2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were selected and cultured at 1.0×10 5 The cells were evenly inoculated at a density of 100 cells / mL in a 6-well cell culture plate, and the culture plate was placed in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 to promote cell attachment and growth, and incubated for 24 hours;

[0035] (2): After the cells adhered to the wall, the nutrient solution was discarded, 400 μg / mL of glycyrrhizic polysaccharide was added, and the cells were incubated for 6 h. Then, 0 or 0.5 μg / mL of DON was added for related experiments, which were divided into a blank control group, a DON group, and a glycyrrhizic polysaccharide + DON group. To ensure uniform cell adhesion, a slide was pre-laid. After the glycyrrhizic polysaccharide and DON treatment was completed, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde fixative at room temperature for 15 min.

[0036] (3): Remove the fixative solution, wash twice with PBS, add 0.5 mL Hoechst 33258 staining solution, and stain for 10 min; aspirate the staining solution, add PBS to wash three times, drop anti-fade mounting medium on the slide, cover with a coverslip, and observe under a fluorescence microscope, λex = 350 nM, λem = 460 nM;

[0037] 2. Experimental results:

[0038] Results from cell apoptosis staining Figure 2 From the above, it can be seen that the cells in the DON group were densely and intensely stained with a white and shiny color, while most of the cells in the DON group after pretreatment with glycyrrhizic polysaccharide were normal blue like the control group, with only a few showing whitening and the cell nuclei were in good condition; the control group showed that the cells rescued by glycyrrhizic polysaccharide tended to be normal, indicating that glycyrrhizic polysaccharide had a good rescue effect on DON-induced cell apoptosis.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Effects of DON poisoning on intracellular ROS and the detoxification effect of licorice polysaccharide

[0041] 1. Detection method:

[0042] (1): IPEC-J2 cells were treated with the poisoning treatment and grouping method according to Example 2;

[0043] (2): In a light-proof environment, 10 μM DCFH-DA probe prepared in serum-free medium was added to the cells and incubated in a 37°C constant temperature incubator in the dark for 20 min;

[0044] (3): Remove the staining solution and wash with serum-free DMEM three times. Use a fluorescence microplate reader to measure the fluorescence at λex = 488 nM and λem = 525 nm;

[0045] (4): After the test, 10 μL of CCK-8 was added to each well of cells and cultured for 2 h at 37°C and 5% CO2. The OD value at 450 nm was measured using a multifunctional microplate reader, and the fluorescence intensity / cell viability was used to represent the cellular ROS level.

[0046] 2. Experimental results:

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, compared with the blank control group, the ROS production of cells treated with DON alone was significantly increased (P<0.05); however, compared with treatment with DON alone, the combined treatment of glycyrrhizic polysaccharide and DON significantly reduced the production of ROS (P<0.05); pretreatment with glycyrrhizic polysaccharide at a concentration of 400 μg / mL significantly attenuated the level of DON-induced ROS in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).

[0048] Example 4

[0049] Effects of DON poisoning on intracellular redox levels (CAT, SOD and GPx) and the detoxification effect of licorice polysaccharides

[0050] 1. Detection method:

[0051] (1): IPEC-J2 cells were treated with the poisoning treatment and grouping method according to Example 2;

[0052] (2): After the stimulation, place the plate on ice and wash once with pre-cooled PBS; add an appropriate amount of lysis buffer (the special sample collection buffer provided in the kit is used for SOD sample collection) and lyse on ice for 10 min. Use a cell scraper to collect the cells into a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 12000g for 5 min at 4°C, take the supernatant, and store it in a freezer at -80°C;

[0053] (3): Use GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT kits according to the instructions to process the collected samples, detect the OD values ​​at wavelengths of 340, 450, and 520 nm on a microplate reader, and calculate the results;

[0054] 2. Experimental results:

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown in the results, compared with the control group, DON significantly reduced the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the cells. Compared with the DON group, licorice polysaccharide significantly increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes CAT, SOD, and GPx, thereby enhancing the antioxidant capacity of IPEC-J2.

[0056] Example 5

[0057] Effects of DON poisoning on intracellular mitochondrial membrane potential and the detoxification effect of licorice polysaccharide

[0058] 1. Detection method:

[0059] (1): IPEC-J2 cells were treated with the poisoning treatment and grouping method of Example 2.

[0060] (2): After the stimulation, IPEC-J2 cells were collected and washed three times with PBS; in addition, IPEC-J2 cells were stained with MitoGreen and TMRE at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 30 min to evaluate mitochondrial membrane potential; then, images were collected under a fluorescence microscope;

[0061] 2. Experimental results:

[0062] TMRE dye can accumulate in intact mitochondria. In inactive mitochondria, the membrane potential is reduced, resulting in less aggregation and lower brightness. Figure 5 It can be seen that the TMRE brightness of the control group and the glycyrrhizic polysaccharide group is almost the same, while the TMRE brightness of the DON group is significantly dimmed. DON treatment significantly reduced the ratio of red fluorescence to green fluorescence, indicating that the membrane potential was reduced (P<0.05). 400 μg / mL glycyrrhizic polysaccharide significantly alleviated the DON-induced membrane potential downregulation (P<0.05). Combined with the changes in ROS in Example 3, it shows that glycyrrhizic polysaccharide can significantly rescue DON-induced cellular mitochondrial dysfunction.

[0063] Example 6

[0064] Effects of DON poisoning on piglet jejunal explants and the detoxification effect of licorice polysaccharide

[0065] 1. Detection method:

[0066] (1) Jejunal explants were prepared from five 4-5 week old weaned piglets in William's Medium supplemented with 100 U / mL penicillin G and 100 ng / mL streptomycin, 50 μg / mL gentamicin, 2.5 g / LD glucose, 30 mM alanine-glutamine and 10% FBS. Collect 5 cm of middle jejunal segment in E (WME) complete medium (the damaged part by forceps cannot be used for tissue morphology); wash with WME 4-6 times; open each jejunal segment longitudinally and use scissors to obtain 6 mm explant segments; add 1 mL of WME complete medium to 24-well plates with the villi facing up, and place 1 explant / well in the cell plate, which are divided into blank control group, DON group, and glycyrrhizin + DON group; the DON concentration is 3 μg / mL, and the glycyrrhizin concentration is 400 μg / mL; all these surgical operations are completed within 1 hour after the piglets are bled to death; the explants are placed in a 37°C CO2 incubator and gently stirred for 4 hours on a horizontal shaker, and then fixed in 10% buffered formalin for histological analysis;

[0067] 2. Experimental results:

[0068] DON can cause obvious tissue autolysis and histological damage. At 3 μg / mL, the intestinal cell nuclei are condensed, the villi are flattened and aggregated, the lamina propria is edematous and necrotic, and a large number of apoptotic cells can be seen. At this concentration, there is obvious diffuse epithelial lining shedding on the surface of the villi, and a consistent and obvious heterogeneous material coating composed of secreted mucus and cell fragments is observed along the surface of the explant. Adding licorice polysaccharide can help alleviate DON-induced intestinal explant damage ( Figure 6 ).
