[0044] Example 1 Preparation of postbiotic freeze-dried powder Preparation of seed medium: 2% glucose, 2% peptone, 0.5% yeast extract powder, 1% beef extract powder, 0.5% anhydrous sodium acetate, 0.2% ammonium citrate, 0.2% dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.1% Tween 80 and the balance of water, with a pH value of 6.8.

[0045] Preparation of fermentation medium: 2% glucose, 2% peptone, 0.5% yeast extract powder, 1% beef extract powder, 0.5% anhydrous sodium acetate, 0.2% ammonium citrate, 0.2% dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.1% Tween 80 and the balance of water, with a pH value of 6.4.

[0046] The preparation method of the postbiotic is as follows: (1) Inoculate the preserved Lactobacillus plantarum nbk-MA2 and the glycerol tube strain of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens subsp. kefiranofaciens ZW3 into the seed medium at an inoculation amount of 3% (v / v) respectively, and culture them statically under anaerobic conditions at 37 °C for 18 h to obtain the primary seed liquid.

[0047] (2) Inoculate the primary seed liquid prepared in (1) into the seed medium at an inoculation amount of 3% (v / v), and culture it statically under anaerobic conditions at 36 °C for 15 h to obtain the secondary seed liquid.

[0048] (3) Inoculate the secondary seed liquid cultured in (2) into the fermentation medium at an inoculation amount of 5% (v / v), and culture it statically under anaerobic conditions at 37 °C for 8 h to obtain the fermentation broth.

[0049] Treat the fermentation broth at 115 °C for 15 min, pre-freeze it at -38 °C for 2 h, and then perform vacuum freeze-drying on the pre-frozen fermentation broth with a vacuum degree of 0.2 mba; after vacuum freeze-drying, crush it to 20 mesh to prepare the freeze-dried powder.

[0050] Example 2 Preparation of Composite Polypeptide Postbiotics Solid Preparation Preparation of composite polypeptide: (1) Mix egg white powder, Cordyceps cicadae fruit body powder, ginseng powder, corn protein powder, and collagen powder with water respectively. The material-liquid ratio of the protein powder to water is 1:50. Perform high-temperature denaturation on the mixed slurry at 80 - 100 °C for 10 - 60 min, remove the supernatant, rinse, and let it stand for precipitation.

[0051] (2) Mix the collected precipitate with water, perform enzymatic hydrolysis under the action of papain, inactivate the enzyme at 95 °C for 15 min, filter, and collect the filtrate.

[0052] (3) After concentrating the filtrate at 65 °C, perform spray drying. The inlet air temperature is 180 °C, the outlet air temperature is 87 °C, the induced draft rotor power is 35 Hz, and the nozzle rotor power is 18 Hz.

[0053] The polypeptide content of albumin peptide in the proteolytic polypeptide is 80%; the polypeptide content of Cordyceps cicadae peptide is 30%; the polypeptide content of ginseng peptide is 35%; the polypeptide content of corn oligopeptide is 85%; the polypeptide content of collagen peptide is 70%. The distribution ratio of the proteolytic polypeptide of the present invention with a relative molecular weight below 1000 Da is 85%.

[0054] First, compound the polypeptide prepared by spray drying in the ratio of albumin peptide:Cordyceps cicadae peptide:ginseng peptide:corn oligopeptide:collagen peptide = 10:1:1:1:20, and then compound it with the postbiotic freeze-dried powder in Example 1 in the ratio of 3:2 to obtain the composite polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation.

[0055] Effect of Compound Polypeptide Postbiotics Solid Preparation in Example 3 on the Levels of IgM, IgG, TNF-α, TNF-γ, IL-2, IL-9, and IL-10 in Mouse Serum After 3 days of adaptive feeding, ICR mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: blank control group, model group, low-dose group of compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation, and high-dose group of compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation, with 15 mice in each group. The model group and the two experimental groups were intraperitoneally injected with cyclophosphamide [80 mg / (kg·bw)] for 3 consecutive days, and the blank control group was simultaneously intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of normal saline. Administration started 1 day after the last intraperitoneal injection. The two experimental groups were respectively gavaged with compound polypeptide postbiotics at concentrations of 0.9 g / (kg·bw) and 1.8 g / (kg·bw) for 30 consecutive days. At the same time, the blank control group and the model group were gavaged with normal saline. During the experiment, the mice were allowed to eat and drink freely. After the last administration, the mice were fasted overnight for 12 h, sacrificed in the early morning the next day, and biological samples were collected for detection of relevant indicators.

[0056] After anesthesia, the mice were sacrificed by eye enucleation to collect blood. The collected mouse blood was centrifuged at 24 °C, with a centrifugal radius of 6 cm and 4000 r / min for 8 min. After centrifugation, the upper serum part was aspirated with a pipette for standby.

[0057] According to the instructions of the ELISA kit, the levels of IgM, IgG, TNF-α, TNF-γ, IL-2, IL-9, and IL-10 in mouse serum were measured using the corresponding ELISA kits for mice to evaluate the immune level of the mice. The results are shown in Figures 1 - 7 .

[0058] In the figure, # represents P < 0.05 compared with the model group, ## represents P < 0.01 compared with the model group, and represents P < 0.001 compared with the model group; * represents P < 0.05 compared with the model group, ** represents P < 0.01 compared with the model group, and *** represents P < 0.001 compared with the model group.

[0059] (I) Changes in the Levels of IgM and IgG in Mouse Serum Immunity generally refers to the body's ability to fight against infections and pathogens, relying on the coordinated action of various immune cells and molecular systems. IgM is the earliest antibody to respond in the immune system and is usually rapidly produced during the body's primary infection. It can recognize and neutralize foreign pathogens (such as bacteria and viruses), helping the immune system to eliminate these pathogens. An increase in IgM levels usually indicates that the body is dealing with an acute or recent infection. In a body with stronger immunity, IgM will rapidly increase and participate in the fight against pathogens when facing an infection. This reflects that the body's immune system can effectively recognize and respond to new infections; if the immune system is weak, the response of IgM may be slower or the production may be insufficient, resulting in a weaker ability to fight against infections.

[0060] IgG is a major component of humoral immunity and can recognize and neutralize pathogenic microorganisms in the body. It clears these foreign substances by directly binding to the pathogens or by activating the complement system. The IgG antibody response is usually slower, but it can provide protection for long-term immunity. Especially after an infection, IgG can remain in the body for several months or even years. A lower IgG level may indicate a functional defect in the immune system and an inability to produce sufficient antibody responses to resist infections.

[0061] Figure 1 Results of mouse serum IgM Figure 2 Results of mouse serum IgG. Compared with the blank control group, the levels of IgM and IgG in the serum of mice in the model group were significantly decreased, indicating that the immune level of the model mice was inhibited after cyclophosphamide-induced modeling; compared with the model group, the levels of IgM and IgG in the low-dose and high-dose groups of the compound polypeptide postbiotic solid preparation increased to varying degrees. Among them, the IgM level in the high-dose group was 4.2 mg / mL, which was 75% higher than that in the model group; the IgG level in the high-dose group was 82.1 mg / mL, which was 55.5% higher than that in the model group. The increase in the two high-dose groups was the most significant, indicating that their ability to restore the humoral immune level of mice was significantly enhanced.

[0062] Changes in the levels of TNF-α and TNF-γ in mouse serum Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important cytokine that plays a key role in immune responses. It is secreted by various cells in the immune system (such as macrophages, T cells, etc.) and participates in various physiological processes, including inflammatory responses, immune regulation, apoptosis, and tumor surveillance. TNF-α is involved in acute and chronic inflammatory responses and is an important regulator of the immune system. It can promote the secretion of inflammatory factors such as IL-1 and IL-6 and enhance the activity of immune cells.

[0063] TNF-γ is a cytokine secreted by immune cells such as T cells, natural killer cells (NK cells), and macrophages, and plays an important role mainly in immune responses and inflammatory processes. TNF-γ is one of the important factors that promote cell-mediated immune responses. In the case of infection or immune challenge, TNF-γ helps initiate the immune response by activating macrophages, enhancing their phagocytosis, and promoting antigen presentation.

[0064] Figure 3 Results of TNF-α in mouse serum Figure 4 Results of TNF-γ in mouse serum. Compared with the blank control group, the levels of TNF-α and TNF-γ in the model group were significantly decreased, and its immune level was inhibited; compared with the model group, the TNF-α and TNF-γ indexes in the low-dose and high-dose groups of the compound polypeptide postbiotic solid preparation showed significant changes to varying degrees under the regulation of the test substances administered. Generally speaking, the levels of TNF-α and TNF-γ in the serum of mice in the high-dose group were 161.2 pg / mL and 2.07 pg / mL respectively, which were increased by 79% and 70% respectively compared with the model group, and the elevation effects in the two high-dose groups were the most significant (P < 0.001). It shows that the high-dose group can better restore the reduction of TNF-α and TNF-γ secretion in the serum of immunocompromised mice, suggesting that the compound polypeptide postbiotic solid preparation has strong immune-enhancing activity.

[0065] Changes in the levels of IL-2, IL-9, and IL-10 in mouse serum IL-2 (Interleukin-2) is an important cytokine secreted by T cells, and its main function is to promote the proliferation and activation of T cells, thereby regulating immune responses. It plays a key role in maintaining the function of the immune system, promoting immune tolerance, and preventing immune dysregulation. When the body is infected or challenged by other immune factors, T cells will be activated and secrete IL-2. IL-2 promotes the proliferation of T cells and enhances the immune response. Therefore, the level of IL-2 is closely related to the activity of the body's immune system. Higher IL-2 levels usually reflect a stronger immune response. IL-2 not only promotes immune responses but also plays a role in immune tolerance. It helps the immune system distinguish "self" from "non-self" by regulating the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby preventing the immune system from attacking its own tissues. Therefore, too low an IL-2 level may lead to insufficient immune tolerance and increase the risk of autoimmune diseases.

[0066] IL-9 is a cytokine secreted by a variety of immune cells, mainly produced by T cells, mast cells and certain types of dendritic cells, etc. IL-9 plays an important role in immune responses and allergic reactions, and it has a certain impact on the regulation of the immune system. IL-9 helps to promote the proliferation of Th2 cells, and further enhances the production of cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, etc., which are very important for allergic reactions and anti-parasitic immunity.

[0067] IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, mainly secreted by a variety of cells in the immune system (such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, etc.). Its main role is to inhibit inflammatory reactions and regulate the balance of the immune system. IL-10 can reduce excessive immune responses by inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1, etc.), thereby avoiding tissue damage.

[0068] Figure 5 For the results of mouse serum IL-2, Figure 6 For the results of mouse serum IL-9, Figure 7 For the results of mouse serum IL-10, compared with the blank control group, the levels of IL-2, IL-9 and IL-10 in the model group were significantly decreased, and its immune level was inhibited; compared with the model group, the concentrations of IL-2, IL-9 and IL-10 in the low-dose and high-dose groups of the compound polypeptide postbiotic solid preparation were significantly increased. Among them, the concentrations of IL-2, IL-9 and IL-10 in the high-dose group were 107.7 pg / mL, 24.7 pg / mL, 0.87 pg / mL respectively, which were increased by 137%, 115% and 112% compared with the model group. The results showed that the compound polypeptide postbiotic solid preparation could significantly up-regulate the levels of IL-2, IL-9 and IL-10 in immunosuppressed mice, and the high-dose group was closer to the level of normal mice, suggesting that in the immunosuppression model established in this experiment, the compound polypeptide postbiotic solid preparation has the effect of improving immune function, and the effect is more significant after increasing the dosage.

Select cells in the logarithmic growth phase for experiments.

[0074] Cell cryopreservation: When the monolayer cell density of 4T1, A549, HepG2 and HuccT1 cells reaches 90%, obtain the cell suspension according to the "cell subculture" operation; centrifuge the cell suspension at 1000 r / min for 5 min at room temperature, pour out the upper-layer supernatant, add cell cryopreservation solution and mix well, then place the cell cryopreservation solution containing cells in a cryopreservation tube, seal it, then place it at -80°C for cryopreservation, and finally store the cells in liquid nitrogen.

[0075] (I) Detection of IC50 of cells by CCK-8 method Take 4T1, A549, HepG2, and HuccT1 cells in the logarithmic growth phase. Obtain cell suspensions according to the method in "Cell Passage". After dilution, inoculate the cells into a 96-well plate with an inoculation volume of 100 μL per well and approximately 1000 cells per well. Then place them in an incubator and culture for 24 h. Divide the cells into a blank group, a control group, and a drug administration group. The blank group does not add cells. The cells in the control group are cultured with medium. The drug administration group is cultured with a medicated medium containing compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation at a concentration of 80 μg / mL to 40.96 mg / mL. After culturing the 96-well plate in an incubator for 24 h, aspirate the medium. Subsequently, add 90 μL of medium and 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent to each well, and then incubate in the incubator for 30 min. Measure the absorbance (A) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader with a maximum absorption wavelength of 450 nm, and calculate the effect of the compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation on the IC50 values of A549, 4T1, HuccT1, and HepG2 cells.

[0076] After treating the cells with compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparations at different concentrations (80 μg / mL to 40.96 mg / mL) for 24 h, detect the changes in cell viability, and use GraphPad Prism 9 to calculate the IC50 values of the cells. The results are as Figures 8 - 11 shown, where Figure 8 are the IC50 results of A549 cells, Figure 9 are the IC50 results of 4T1 cells, Figure 10 are the IC50 results of HuccT1 cells, Figure 11 are the IC50 results of HepG2 cells. It can be seen from the figure that the IC50 values of A549, 4T1, HuccT1, and HepG2 cells are 2849 μg / mL, 2124 μg / mL, 976.6 μg / mL, and 4582 μg / mL, respectively, indicating that the compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation has a certain inhibitory effect on tumor cells.

[0077] (2) Detection of cell colony formation ability by plate cloning experiment Take tumor cells in the logarithmic growth phase and seed 1000 cells per well in a 6-well plate, making the cells evenly distributed singly in the wells. Change the medium every 2 days, and set up a control group, a paclitaxel group, and a compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation group. Culture the cells until white dots can be seen growing at the bottom of the plate with the naked eye, and when cell colonies are formed in clusters under the microscope and the number of cells in most of the wells in the blank group is ≥50, it is regarded as colony formation. Wash twice with PBS, fix with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, then add 1 mL of crystal violet staining solution to each well and stain for 15 min. Place it in clean water to wash away the staining solution remaining in the 6-well plate, and drain the water. Use a microscope to photograph and record the general situation of each well's colonies, and count 1 cm under the microscope2 The number of cell colonies in the square grid.

[0078] The number of clone formations is an important indicator reflecting the proliferation ability of tumor cells. As Figure 12 shown, compared with the control group, there were almost no clone numbers in the paclitaxel positive drug group and the composite polypeptide postbiotics group, indicating that paclitaxel and the experimental group inhibited cell proliferation and had a strong inhibitory ability.

[0079] (III) Cell apoptosis experiment Inoculate 1.5×10 5 cells into a 6-well plate and culture overnight. Culture with the medium containing paclitaxel and composite polypeptide postbiotics for 24 h. Wash the cells 2 times with pre-cooled PBS, fill in the staining buffer, FITC staining solution and PI staining solution for staining, incubate on ice for 25 min in a light-proof environment, wash once with PBS, observe the staining of cells in different groups with a fluorescence inverted microscope, and take pictures for record.

[0080] Cell apoptosis is usually called programmed cell death, which is an active cell death process controlled by genes. It involves the activation, expression and regulation of a series of genes and is a death process that cells actively strive for to better adapt to the environment. Tumor cells have the ability of continuous proliferation and resistance to cell apoptosis. By inducing tumor cell apoptosis, the number of tumor cells can be effectively controlled, thus achieving the purpose of anti-tumor.

[0081] The Annexin V-FITC and PI double staining method is based on the principle that phosphatidylserine (PS) on the cell membrane flips from the inner side of the cell membrane to the surface of the cell membrane in the early stage of apoptosis. When both Annexin V-FITC and PI are negative (Annexin V- / PI-), it is a normal living cell; when both Annexin V-FITC and PI are positive (Annexin V+ / PI+), it is a late apoptotic cell, also called a necrotic cell; when Annexin V-FITC is positive and PI is negative (Annexin V+ / PI-), it is an early apoptotic cell. Figure 13 It is the microscopic examination picture of 4T1 cell apoptosis staining, Figure 14 It is the microscopic examination picture of A549 cell apoptosis staining, Figure 15 It is the microscopic examination picture of HepG2 cell apoptosis staining, Figure 16 It is the microscopic examination picture of HuccT1 cell apoptosis staining. As Figures 13 - 16 can be seen, paclitaxel and the experimental group can promote tumor cell apoptosis, and the effect is better than that of the single peptide component and the postbiotics group.

[0082] (IV) Cell scratch test Tumor cells 4T1, A549, HepG2, and HuccT1 with strong migratory ability during the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated with 3×10 5 cells into 6-well plates, with 3 replicates per group and 2.5 mL of culture medium in each well until the cells were evenly distributed. The 6-well plates were cultured in an incubator for 24 h (at this time, the cell density should be greater than 90%). After 24 h, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed twice. A 200 μL pipette tip was used to quickly draw a blank scratch zone perpendicular to the bottom along the cross mark at the bottom of the 6-well plate. Try to use the same pipette tip for each well. The cells scraped off were washed away with PBS three times, and it was checked under an inverted microscope whether the scratch area was cleaned. A control group, a paclitaxel group, and a compound polypeptide postbiotics solid preparation group were set up. 2.5 mL of drug-containing and drug-free blank culture medium was added to each well and placed in an incubator for culture. After 48 h, observations and photographs were taken under an inverted microscope.

[0083] Metastasis, that is, the growth of tumor cells in organs far from their origin sites, is the ultimate and most fatal manifestation of cancer. The vast majority of cancer patients die from metastatic diseases rather than primary tumors. Tumor metastasis is an important link in the malignant development of tumors and the main reason for the failure of tumor treatment. The cell scratch assay can directly reflect the migratory ability of tumor cells.

[0084] The results are as Figure 17 shown. Compared with the control group, paclitaxel and the three experimental groups had a certain inhibitory effect on the migration of tumor cells. The inhibitory effect of the compound polypeptide postbiotics group on the migration of A549, HepG2, and HuccT1 cells was comparable to that of the paclitaxel group. It shows that the compound polypeptide postbiotics can significantly inhibit the migration of tumor cells, and the inhibitory effect is better than that of the single peptide component and the postbiotics group.
