Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technologies, and particularly to a method for identifying collagen. Background Art

[0002] As a key biological macromolecule, collagen has wide applications in biomedicine, cosmetology, and the food industry. Accurately identifying and detecting collagen raw materials and their products is an important link to ensure product quality and safety. With the rapid development of the collagen-related product market, higher requirements are put forward for the identification and detection methods of collagen, including the simplicity, accuracy, and sensitivity of detection.

[0003] Currently, the identification and detection methods of collagen mainly include polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (isoelectric point method), peptide mapping, terminal amino acid sequence detection, isoelectric focusing electrophoresis, etc. Although these methods can achieve the identification of collagen to a certain extent, each has certain limitations. For example, peptide mapping and terminal amino acid sequence detection rely on expensive equipment such as high-performance liquid chromatographs and amino acid sequence analyzers, and the operations are complex and the costs are high. Although isoelectric focusing electrophoresis does not require expensive equipment, its detection sensitivity is limited by the collagen content in the sample, and concentration methods need to be used to improve the detection sensitivity, which increases the complexity of the operation and the requirements for technicians. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In the prior art, collagen at a concentration of 0.01% cannot be detected by different instruments. Especially for products such as gels and creams, the collagen concentration is very low, making it difficult to detect; the composition of creams is relatively complex, with at least 7 - 9 components. Especially after emulsification, the collagen component is very low (cannot be fully mixed), so it is difficult to identify; the characteristic of gels is that they are very thick and cannot be directly identified. Especially when detecting creams and gel products, a series of steps such as dilution - suction filtration - filtration - concentration are required to extract collagen. However, after such steps, the collagen concentration of the product becomes even lower, making it even more impossible to quickly detect.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention intends to provide a new method for identifying collagen, and the method has a wider range requirement for the collagen content in collagen raw materials and products.

[0006] The present invention provides a method for identifying collagen, and the reagent for identification is genipin; the identification steps are selected from:

[0007] I. When the collagen concentration is higher than 0.05%, after mixing the genipin solution with the collagen and / or collagen product solution and reacting to develop color, directly compare the colors for identification;

[0008] II. When the collagen concentration is lower than 0.05%, after the collagen product solution is extracted, it is colored with genipin solution, and the color is directly compared for identification.

[0009] III. When the collagen concentration is lower than 0.05%, after the genipin solution and the collagen solution are mixed and reacted to develop color, the color is directly compared for identification.

[0010] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the collagen is selected from type I collagen, type II collagen, type III collagen, type IV collagen, type V collagen, type VII collagen, type VIII collagen, and type XVII collagen.

[0011] During the research process, the inventor accidentally found that the color development of the reaction between genipin and collagen is related to the molecular weight of collagen. Among them, the molecular weights of the collagens used in Examples 1 to 15 are all between 40 and 50 KB, and all of their color developments are blue; the molecular weight of T8 collagen in Example 16 is 15 KB, and its color development is yellow.

[0012] In the present invention, when the molecular weight of collagen is 10 - 20 KB, the color development is yellow; when the molecular weight of collagen is 40 - 50 KB, the color development is blue; further, the blue includes: powder blue, sky blue, light blue, sea blue, navy blue, peacock blue, and blue - gray.

[0013] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when the collagen is T8, the color development is yellow. T8 is the recombinant type III humanized collagen of Jinbo, which is disclosed in ZL202311272338.8, and the sequence is as follows:

[0015] In the present invention, the collagen includes: pure collagen, collagen products, and collagen peptides;

[0016] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the collagen products include: vaginal gel, composite vaginal gel, anti-HPV gel, lubricant, composite lubricant, recombinant collagen care ointment, recombinant collagen sterile repair dressing, recombinant collagen sterile repair solution, eye drops.

[0017] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the concentration of genipin is not less than 0.1%.

[0018] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the concentration of genipin is 0.1% - 1%.

[0019] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the reaction is carried out under alkaline conditions.

[0020] The present invention also provides a collagen identification kit, and the kit includes genipin.

[0021] In the present invention, the term "higher than" means equal to or greater than a certain value; the term "lower than" means less than or equal to a certain value.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] The identification method of the present invention has a wider range requirement for the collagen content in collagen raw materials and products (protein content of 0.01% can also be identified);

[0024] 1. Expensive equipment is not required during the identification process, which greatly reduces the identification cost; the operation process is relatively convenient, the experimental period is short, the identification speed is fast, the sensitivity is higher, and the stability is good, improving the efficiency of collagen content identification;

[0025] 2. It has wide applicability: different types of collagen (I, II, III, Ⅳ, V, VII, VIII, XVII), recombinant collagen vaginal gel, anti-HPV gel, recombinant collagen lubricant, freeze-dried powder products, etc. can all be detected;

[0026] 3. By comparing colors, different types of proteins with the same concentration can be identified, and proteins with different concentrations of the same type can also be identified according to colors. Description of the Drawings

[0102] It was observed through electrophoresis experiments that part of the protein was degraded when the eye drops were accelerated at 55 °C for 80 days, and there was also degradation under other conditions. After adding genipin, the colors of the samples all changed to blue, while the color of the blank control did not change ( Figure 15 ), so this method can be used to identify the degraded protein.

[0103] Example 16 T8(III) protein

[0104] I. Experimental method

[0105] Weigh 100 mg of T8 (the molecular weight of T8 is 15 KB), and make up to 100 g with PBS (or water) to prepare a protein stock solution of 1 mg / g. Take 4 g, 3 g, 2 g, 1 g, and 0.5 g of the protein stock solution (1 mg / g) in turn, and make up to 5 g with PBS in turn to prepare gradient solutions with concentrations of 0.8 mg / g, 0.6 mg / g, 0.4 mg / g, 0.2 mg / g, and 0.1 mg / g: Take 5 g of each of the 6 gradient concentration solutions, add 0.05 g of genipin solid (to make the final concentration of genipin 1%), and mix well to make them react.

[0106] II. Experimental results

[0107] 1. T8 (gradient solutions of 1 mg / g, 0.8 mg / g, 0.6 mg / g, 0.4 mg / g, 0.2 mg / g, 0.1 mg / g (prepared with PBS (pH: 5.0 PBS)) + genipin powder (final concentration 1%)

[0108] As Figure 16 shown, after adding genipin powder (the final concentration of genipin is 1%), the protein solutions with 6 concentration gradients all reacted with genipin to show color. The protein solutions with concentrations above 0.2 mg / g showed obvious color development, and the protein solution of 0.1 mg / g showed weaker color development.

[0110] As Figure 17As shown, after adding genipin powder (final concentration of genipin is 1%), protein solutions with 6 concentration gradients all underwent a color reaction with genipin, and the color changed from orange-yellow to brown. Protein solutions with a concentration of 0.2 mg / g or higher showed obvious color development, while the protein solution with a concentration of 0.1 mg / g showed weaker color development.

[0111] 3. T8 (gradient solutions (prepared with water) of 1 mg / g, 0.8 mg / g, 0.6 mg / g, 0.4 mg / g, 0.2 mg / g, 0.1 mg / g, pH: neutral) + genipin powder (final concentration 1%)

[0112] As Figure 18 shown, after adding genipin powder (final concentration of genipin is 1%), protein solutions with a concentration of 0.2 mg / g or higher showed obvious color development, while the protein solution with a concentration of 0.1 mg / g did not show any color change.

[0113] In summary, pH affects the color development of T8 protein. From acidic - neutral - alkaline, the orange-yellow color reaction gradually becomes more obvious.

[0114] The present invention can, through the color reaction of genipin and by comparing colors, identify proteins of different types at the same concentration, and at the same time can also identify proteins of the same type at different concentrations based on the color.
