Detailed implementation manners

[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] 1. Preparation of polysaccharide from Boletus edulis

[0035] 1.1 Extraction of polysaccharide from Boletus edulis

[0036] Take an appropriate amount of pulverized Boletus edulis powder after breaking the cell wall and add 95% ethanol, and mix at a ratio of 1:25. Reflux at 60°C for 2 hours to remove pigments, fats and small molecules in the raw materials. Centrifuge to extract the precipitate (4,000 r / min, 10 min), use water as the extraction solution, reflux at 80°C for 2 hours according to the solid-liquid ratio of 1:25, centrifuge to extract the precipitate (4,000 r / min, 10 min), and repeat this step twice. Rotate and evaporate the centrifuged supernatant to 1 / 5 of the original volume, then add 4 times the volume of 95% ethanol and perform alcohol precipitation for 12 hours. Collect the precipitate, add Savage reagent (4:1 chloroform: n-butanol), shake for 20 minutes, centrifuge and remove the lower protein precipitate. The supernatant is rotated and evaporated at 40°C to remove the organic reagent. The solution after rotary evaporation is filled into a dialysis bag (2500 Da), placed in distilled water for 72 hours, and then freeze-dried.

[0037] 1.2 Separation and purification

[0038] The crude polysaccharide of Boletus was redissolved with deionized water and loaded onto a DEAE seplife FF anion exchange chromatography column at a flow rate of 4 ml / min. Gradient elution was carried out successively with pure water, 0.1 M, 0.2 M, and 0.3 M NaCl solutions, and one tube was collected every 15 ml. All the eluates were collected. The sugar content in the eluates of each test tube was detected by the phenol-sulfuric acid method and an elution curve was plotted. After dialysis and freeze-drying of the collected elution peak fractions.

[0039] After preliminary extraction and purification of Boletus, BEP was obtained. The elution curve of BEP separated by a DEAE-cellulose column is as Figure 1 shown. Two obvious elution peaks (BEP-1, BEP-2) were obtained. Since the solubility of BEP-1 was poor, BEP-2 was selected for further purification. After concentrating, dialyzing, and freeze-drying BEP-2, the yield was calculated: 7.33%.

[0040] It was redissolved in deionized water and then loaded onto a Sephacryl S-400HR gel column at a flow rate of 1 ml / min. Elution was carried out with deionized water as the eluent. The polysaccharide content was also detected by the phenol-sulfuric acid method and the elution peak fractions were collected. After dialysis, concentration, and freeze-drying, purified Boletus polysaccharide was obtained. The elution curve of BEP-2 through a Sephacryl S-400HR gel column is as Figure 2 shown. A main elution peak was obtained, and the peak appeared relatively late, indicating a relatively small molecular weight. After concentrating and freeze-drying it, a white flocculent substance was finally obtained. It was named BEP-2-1, and the yield of BEP-2-1 was: 37.8%.

[0041] 2. Structural analysis of Boletus polysaccharide

[0042] 2.1 Spectral analysis

[0043] The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the polysaccharide was measured (Nicolet iZ-10, Thermo, USA). The polysaccharide sample was mixed with KBr powder and pressed into a 1-mm pellet, and FT-IR measurement was carried out in the range of 4000 - 400 cm-1.

[0044] The polysaccharide sample was dissolved in pure water to prepare a 5 mg / mL polysaccharide solution, and a multifunctional microplate reader (Multiskan GO, Thermo, USA) was used to quantitatively analyze the polysaccharide solution. Scanning wavelength: 200 nm - 1000 nm, with pure water as the blank control for UV–vis measurement.

[0045] BEP-2-1 was identified by infrared spectroscopy, as Figure 3As shown, an obvious characteristic peak of polysaccharide appears at 3400 cm-1. The absorption peaks at 2931.08 cm-1 and 1402.17 cm-1 are attributed to C-H stretching vibration. The absorption peak at 1625.76 cm-1 is the asymmetric stretching vibration of C=O. There are three absorption peaks at 1000 - 1200 cm-1, indicating the presence of pyranose ring. Some studies have shown that the absorption peaks in the range of 820 cm-1 - 890 cm-1 contain the characteristic absorption peaks of α and β glycosidic bonds. It can be preliminarily judged that this polysaccharide should be a pyranose polysaccharide with α and β configurations.

[0046] BEP-2-1 was identified by ultraviolet spectroscopy. As Figure 4 can be seen, compared with the blank control, the sample has no obvious absorption in the wavelength range of 200 - 400 nm, indicating that the sample hardly contains impurities such as pigments, nucleic acids and proteins.

[0047] 2.2 Molecular weight

[0048] The sample was dissolved in 0.1M NaNO3 aqueous solution (containing 0.02% NaN3, w / w) with a final concentration of 1 mg / mL, filtered through a filter with a pore size of 0.45 μm, and then detected by machine.

[0049] The molecular weight of the polysaccharide from Boletus edulis was detected by gel chromatography - differential - multi - angle laser light scattering system. Gel permeation chromatography columns Ohpak SB - 805HQ (300×8 mm) and Ohpak SB - 803HQ (300×8 mm) were connected in series. The column temperature was 45 °C, the injection volume was 100 μL, the mobile phase A (0.02% NaN3, 0.1M NaNO3), the flow rate was 0.6 mL / min, and the elution gradient: isocratic for 75 min.

[0050] As Figure 5 Calculated by the formula, the weight - average molecular weight (Mw) and number - average molecular weight (Mn) of Bep - 2 - 1 were 2.728×103 Da and 2.551×103 Da respectively. The polydispersity (Mw / Mn) of Bep - 2 - 1 was 1.069. Compared with the polysaccharides from Boletus edulis extracted by other researchers, the molecular weight of this polysaccharide was lower. It is speculated that the reason for this difference is caused by the different growth environments of Boletus edulis.

[0051] 2.3 Monosaccharide composition

[0052] The sample was pretreated. An appropriate amount of polysaccharide sample was weighed, 1 ml of 2M TFA acid solution was added, and heated at 121 °C for 2 hours. Nitrogen was passed through and dried. 99.99% methanol was added for washing, and then dried again. The methanol washing was repeated 2 - 3 times. Sterile water was added for dissolution and transferred to a chromatographic vial for detection by machine.

[0053] An ion chromatography system (ICS 5000+, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) was used to analyze and detect monosaccharide components using an electrochemical detector. Dionex TM CarboPac TM PA20 (150 * 3.0 mm, 10 μm) liquid chromatography column was used; the injection volume was 5 μl. Mobile phase A (H2O), mobile phase B (0.1 M NaOH), mobile phase C (0.1 M NaOH, 0.2 M NaAc), the flow rate was 0.5 ml / min; the column temperature was 30 °C; elution gradient: 0 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (95:5:0, V / V), 26 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (85:5:10, V / V), 42 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (85:5:10, V / V), 42.1 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (60:0:40, V / V), 52 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (60:40:0, V / V), 52.1 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (95:5:0, V / V), 60 min, phase A / phase B / phase C (95:5:0, V / V).

[0054] Ion chromatography was used to analyze the monosaccharide composition of BEP-2-1. As Figure 6 shown. Bep-2-1 is composed of glucose, mannose, and galactose. The molar percentages of the main monosaccharides of BEP-2-1 calculated based on the molar concentrations and peak areas of the monosaccharide standards and internal standards were 93.99%, 4.91%, and 1.10% respectively. Among them, glucose had the highest proportion.

[0055] 2.4 Methylation

[0056] The polysaccharide sample was dissolved in DMSO. The solution was methylated with CH3I in DMSO / NaOH. The completely methylated over-methylated product was hydrolyzed with 2 mol / L TFA at 121 °C for 1.5 h, reduced with NaBD4, and acetylated with acetic anhydride for 2.5 h (100 °C).

[0057] The analytical instrument for this experiment was an Agilent 7890A-5977B gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument from Agilent Technologies Inc., CA, USA, and the model of the automatic sampler was G4567A.

[0058] Chromatographic system (Agilent 7890A; Agilent Technologies, USA), chromatographic column: BPX70 (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm, SGE, Australia). The injection volume was 1 μl, the split ratio was 10:1, the carrier gas was high-purity helium, and the flow rate was 1.5 ml / min; the initial temperature of the column oven was maintained at 140 °C for 2.0 min, and then programmed to rise to 230 °C at a rate of 3 °C / min and held for 3 min.

[0059] Mass spectrometry system (Agilent 5977B; Agilent Technologies, USA), equipped with an electron impact ionization source (EI) and a MassHunter workstation. The electron impact ionization source (EI) was used, and the analytes were detected in the full scan (SCAN) mode, and the mass scan range (m / z): 50 - 350.

[0060] Methylation analysis was used to determine the linkage mode of glycosidic bonds. Combining the monosaccharide composition and proportion of BEP-2-1 and the GC-MS detection results, the methylation and main glycosidic bonds of BEP-2-1 are shown in Table 1, and the content proportion of substances in some methylated sugars is basically consistent with the monosaccharide composition results.

[0061] Table 1 Methylation analysis results of BEP-2-1

[0062]

[0063] 2.5 Nuclear magnetic resonance

[0064] The sample was dissolved in 0.5 mL of D2O to a final concentration of 40 mg / mL, and the dissolved solution was transferred to a nuclear magnetic resonance tube with an addition amount of 0.5 mL. A nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (AVANCE NEO 500M, Bruker, Germany) was used to scan the sample at 500 MHz.

[0065] BEP-2-1 was analyzed by NMR. 1H-NMR mainly solves the configuration problem of glycosidic bonds in the polysaccharide structure. The signals of polysaccharides in 1H-NMR are concentrated at 3 - 6 ppm. From the 1H-NMR spectrum ( Figure 7 A), it can be seen that multiple coupling signal peaks were identified in the anomeric signal region at δ 4.3 - 5.4 ppm, indicating that this sample contains multiple sugar residues. The chemical shifts corresponding to the anomeric hydrogens are δ 5.34, 5.3, 4.9, 4.76, and 4.47 ppm respectively. Due to severe overlap of individual signals, COSY ( Figure 7 B) and HSQC ( Figure 7C) The 1H-NMR spectra were used to assign the chemical shifts of H2-H6 of each sugar residue. Among them, the strong signal peak near δ4.71 ppm was the solvent peak. The 13C-NMR spectra can provide information on sugar residues to determine the linkage positions of sugar chains and certain specific groups. According to the figure ( Figure 7 D) Multiple signal peaks were identified in the anomeric carbon region of the sample. Combining the cross-peaks in the anomeric region of the 13C-NMR spectra and HSQC spectra, the anomeric signals present in the sample were determined to be: δ5.34 / 99.6, 4.9 / 98.53, 5.3 / 99.73, 4.76 / 102.52, 4.47 / 102.79 ppm, and were denoted as sugar residues A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. Combining the sample bonding structure information, anomeric signals, and comprehensive literature reports, the sugar residues were speculated and their 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR chemical shifts were assigned. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0066] Combined with the HMBC (Figure s7E) spectra, the structural and linkage modes in this polysaccharide were analyzed: there were cross-peaks δ5.34 / 76.68 ppm between H1 of sugar residue A and C4 of sugar residue A, δ99.6 / 3.58 ppm between C1 of sugar residue A and H4 of sugar residue A, δ4.76 / 84.03 ppm between H1 of sugar residue D and C4 of sugar residue C, δ102.52 / 3.73 ppm between C1 of sugar residue D and H4 of sugar residue C, δ4.47 / 68.08 ppm between H1 of sugar residue E and C6 of sugar residue C, and δ102.79 / 3.46 ppm between C1 of sugar residue E and H6 of sugar residue C. Further combined with the NOESY spectra ( Figure 7 F) The linkage order of each residue in this polysaccharide was judged and speculated. There were cross-peaks δ5.34 / 3.58 ppm between H1 of sugar residue A and H4 of sugar residue A, δ5.34 / 3.73 ppm between H1 of sugar residue A and H4 of sugar residue C, δ4.9 / 3.46 ppm between H1 of sugar residue B and H6 of sugar residue C, δ4.9 / 3.54 ppm between H1 of sugar residue B and H6 of sugar residue C, δ4.9 / 3.85 ppm between H1 of sugar residue B and H6 of sugar residue E, δ5.3 / 3.58 ppm between H1 of sugar residue C and H4 of sugar residue A, δ5.3 / 3.78 ppm between H1 of sugar residue C and H3 of sugar residue D, δ4.76 / 3.73 ppm between H1 of sugar residue D and H4 of sugar residue C, δ4.47 / 3.46 ppm between H1 of sugar residue E and H6 of sugar residue C, and δ4.47 / 3.54 ppm between H1 of sugar residue E and H6 of sugar residue C.

[0069]

[0070] 2.6 Scanning Electron Microscope

[0071] The molecular morphology of the polysaccharide was observed using a scanning electron microscope (Zeiss Merlin Compact, Germany). Under high vacuum conditions, images were observed at a voltage of 1.0 kV, with magnification factors of 100 times and 4000 times respectively.

[0072] 3 Animal Experiments

[0073] 3.1 Modeling

[0074] After 7 days of adaptive feeding, the mice were randomly divided into 6 groups, with 12 mice in each group. The normal group (NC) received only 0.9% saline treatment throughout the experiment. After the other 5 groups of mice were intraperitoneally injected with cyclophosphamide (CTX 80 mg / kg BW) for 3 consecutive days, the model group (MC) received intragastric administration of 0.9% saline, the positive control group (PC) received intragastric administration of 10 mg / kg BW levamisole hydrochloride (LH), and the polysaccharide from Boletus edulis was divided into low (L-BEP-2-1, 50 mg / kg BW), medium (M-BEP-2-1, 100 mg / kg BW), and high (H-BEP-2-1, 200 mg / kg BW) dose groups, which received intragastric administration of the polysaccharide from Boletus edulis. After 24 consecutive days of intragastric treatment, on the third day after injecting CTX, CTX 60 mg / kg BW was injected every 10 days to prevent the recovery of immune function. On the 28th day after the intervention, the experiment ended and the mice were sacrificed.

[0075] 3.2 Spleen and Thymus Indices

[0076] The body weight of the mice was recorded before sacrifice. Blood was collected from the orbital cavity of the mice and centrifuged at 3000 rpm / min at 4°C for 15 min using a refrigerated centrifuge (5424R, eppendorf, Germany) to collect the serum, which was stored at -80°C for later use. After the mice were sacrificed, their intact thymus and spleen were taken, rinsed with pre-cooled saline, placed on filter paper to absorb the excess moisture, and immediately weighed. Organ index = organ weight / body weight.

[0077] As Figure 8 shown, compared with the NC group, the body weights of the other groups decreased significantly after CTX intervention. After starting the intragastric experiment 3 days after continuous intraperitoneal injection of CTX, it was found from the seventh day of the experiment that the body weights of the mice in each group began to show a gradual recovery trend, but the recovery trend of the body weight in the MC group was relatively slow compared with other groups. The group with the most obvious effect was the H-BEP-2-1 group.

[0078] As Figure 9 shown, compared with the NC group, the thymus index of the MC group decreased significantly, indicating that CTX caused thymus atrophy in mice. Compared with the MC group, the thymus index of the PC and BEP-2-1 groups showed a significant increase, indicating that BEP-2-1 could effectively alleviate the symptoms of thymus atrophy in immune-suppressed mice, and the M-BEP-2-1 group had the most obvious effect (p < 0.01). Compared with the NC group, the spleen index of the MC group increased significantly, which was consistent with the symptom of spleen enlargement in mice caused by CTX in the literature. Compared with the MC group, the spleen index of the PC and BEP-2-1 groups decreased significantly, indicating that BEP-2-1 could alleviate the phenomenon of spleen enlargement caused by CTX, and the M-BEP-2-1 group had the best effect (p < 0.01).

[0079] 3.3 Blood indexes

[0080] A hematology analyzer was used to detect blood counts. The analysis included white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), lymphocytes (Lym), neutrophils (Neu), and platelet count (PLT).

[0081] The ability to detect hematopoiesis is usually evaluated by measuring routine blood indexes such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and hemoglobin. The results of the hematological indexes are as Figure 10 shown. Compared with the NC group, the values of neutrophils (Neu), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cells (WBC), and lymphocytes (Lym) in the MC group decreased significantly. Under the influence of BEP-2-1, the levels of Neu, RBC, HGB, WBC, and Lym increased significantly. Among them, Neu (p < 0.001), WBC (p < 0.01), and Lym (p < 0.05) had the best effect at high doses, and RBC (p < 0.05) and HGB (p < 0.01) had the best effect at medium doses.

[0082] 3.4 Thymus immunoglobulins

[0083] Take 20 mg of thymus tissue and homogenize it with pre-cooled PBS solution at a ratio of 1:9 (w / v). After centrifugation, collect the supernatant of the tissue homogenate and detect the contents of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in the spleen according to the ELISA kit.

[0084] The levels of thymus immunoglobulins (IgA and IgM) were detected using an ELISA kit, and the effect of BEP-2-1 on CTX-induced immunosuppression was also detected. Compared with the NC group, the levels of thymus immunoglobulins in the MC group decreased significantly, while BEP-2-1 could significantly improve the decreased levels of immunoglobulins. After intragastric administration of BEP-2-1, by Figure 10It can be seen that the levels of thymic immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) in the BEP-2-1 group were significantly higher than those in the MC group.
