Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of exosome separation, and in particular to a method for aseptically extracting exosomes from Chinese herbal medicines. Background Art

[0002] Exosomes are tiny vesicles (30-150nm) secreted by cells. They are mainly derived from multivesicular bodies formed by the invagination of intracellular lysosomal particles. After the multivesicular outer membrane fuses with the cell membrane, it is released into the extracellular matrix and can transfer DNA, RNA or protein between cells, thereby affecting the function of the recipient cells. The function of exosomes depends on the cell type from which they come, and can participate in the body's immune response, antigen presentation, cell migration, cell differentiation, tumor invasion and other aspects.

[0003] Exosomes from Chinese herbal medicines are often extracted by ultracentrifugation, but since Chinese herbal medicines themselves contain bacteria, exosomes obtained by direct pretreatment and ultracentrifugation often carry microorganisms. Traditional methods often choose to filter and sterilize to obtain sterile exosomes, but this method has a very high loss rate, is not conducive to obtaining full-sized exosomes, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, it is possible to consider sterilizing Chinese herbal medicines from the source.

[0004] Sterilization of Chinese herbal medicines includes moist heat sterilization, irradiation sterilization, microwave sterilization and ozone sterilization. Among them, moist heat sterilization is not suitable for the sterilization of special Chinese medicines such as those that are not heat-resistant and easily hydrolyzed. It will change the appearance color of the Chinese medicine, reduce the content of volatile oils, and increase the moisture content. In particular, it will cause the Chinese medicine powder to agglomerate, become damp, and even exceed the moisture content. Irradiation sterilization has high regulatory requirements and needs to be selected with caution. Microwave sterilization is not suitable for products with low water content. Ozone sterilization has many influencing factors and is limited to the sterilization of medicines that do not contain easily oxidizable ingredients. CN113355272A discloses a method for extracting plant exosomes, which is not sterilized, which is not conducive to practical application. CN113502256A discloses a method for extracting sterile exosomes, but this method is only for the sterile extraction method of animal cell supernatant, and the sterile extraction method of plant-derived exosomes is not described in detail.

[0104] Figure 2 Transmission electron microscopy was used to directly observe the morphology of exosomes. The results showed that the exosomes were successfully extracted, with a complete exosome structure and a cup-shaped morphology.

[0105] Figure 3 To analyze the diameter and concentration of sterile white peony exosome particles by microfluidic resistive pulse sensing (MRPS), the results showed that the exosome particle size distribution was widely distributed, mainly in the range of 65-250nm, and the particle concentration was 1.14E+14particles / ml.

[0106] Figure 4By detecting the expression of sterile white peony exosome protein by SDS-PAGE, it can be seen that the proteins expressed in the exosomes extracted in the present invention are mainly distributed in 15-25 kDa, 25-35 kDa, 45-kDa and 55-70 kDa. In addition, compared with the white peony exosomes obtained without triple antibody treatment (untreated group), there is no significant change in protein distribution, proving that this method does not affect the distribution of active proteins, thereby proving the effectiveness of the method of the present invention.

[0107] Table 1: Exosome microbial detection results prepared in Example 1

[0108] Serial number Test items unit Test Results 1 Total colony count CFU / mL <10 2 Total mold and yeast count CFU / mL <10 3 Thermotolerant coliform bacteria / mL Not detected 4 Staphylococcus aureus / mL Not detected 5 Pseudomonas aeruginosa / mL Not detected
