[0042] S6. Pre-freeze the membrane retentate at -80℃ for 4 hours, perform primary drying at -40℃ / 50 mTorr for 24 hours, perform secondary drying at 25℃ / 20 mTorr for 8 hours, and then perform vacuum drying under the protection of 5% mannitol to obtain buffalo hide active peptides.

[0043] The yield of buffalo hide active peptides in this embodiment was measured to be 33.61%.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] The difference from Example 1 is that in S2, neutral protease and intestinal lipase (m 中性蛋白酶 :m 肠脂肪酶 The mixture of 5:1 was enzymatically hydrolyzed, and the pH was adjusted to 7 with citric acid. All other steps were the same as in Example 1.

[0046] The yield of buffalo hide active peptides in this embodiment was measured to be 32.75%.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] The difference from Example 2 is that in S2, the enzyme is hydrolyzed at 40°C for 3 hours in an electric stirrer, while the other steps are the same as in Example 2.

[0051] The difference from Example 3 is that, in S2, a mixture of collagenase and intestinal lipase is used for enzymatic hydrolysis. 胶原蛋白酶 :m 肠脂肪酶 The amount of the mixture (5:1) added was 0.3g, and the other steps were the same as in Example 3.

[0052] The yield of buffalo hide active peptides in this embodiment was measured to be 29.64%.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] The difference from Example 1 is that in S4, Bio-Gel P-6 is used as the filler, while the other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0055] The yield of buffalo hide active peptides in this embodiment was measured to be 28.11%.

[0056] Example 6

[0057] The difference from Example 1 is that in S4, the collection liquid of the second column volume is retained, while the other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0064] The difference from Example 1 is that in S4, Sephadex G100 is used as the filler, while the other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0065] Experimental Example 1

[0066] The properties of the buffalo hide active peptides prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were characterized. The protein concentration of buffalo hide active peptides in each experimental group was determined by the Kjeldahl method, and the survival rate of RAW264.7 cells was detected by the MTT assay. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0067] Table 1. Protein concentration and RAW264.7 cell viability of the buffalo hide active peptides obtained in each example and comparative example.

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] As shown in Table 1, the buffalo hide active peptides obtained in Example 1 had the highest protein content, reaching 68.2%, and the cell viability of RAW264.7 cells reached 131.55%, demonstrating the best performance among all examples. The protein concentration and cell viability of Examples 1-6 were significantly higher than those of Comparative Examples 1-3. This indicates that retaining different collection solutions, changing the type of enzyme, or changing the packing material all affect the properties of the peptides. Furthermore, different extraction methods resulted in varying purity of the buffalo hide active peptides. Clearly, the method of this invention can more effectively increase the concentration of buffalo hide active peptides, reduce impurities, and improve the survival rate of RAW264.7 cells.

[0071] Experimental Example 2: In vitro immunomodulatory effect test of buffalo hide active peptides (all buffalo hide active peptides used were obtained in Example 1).

[0072] 1. Cell Culture

[0073] RAW264.7 cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS and incubated in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. When the cells reached nearly 80% growth, they were passaged by repeated pipetting, and cells in the logarithmic growth phase were selected for experiments.

[0074] 2. Detection indicators

[0075] The following test indicators were analyzed using Prism 9.5 software to process the experimental data and perform statistical analysis.

[0076] 2.1 Effect of buffalo hide active peptides on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells

[0077] Macrophages are an important component of the innate immune system. They play a key role in recognizing and engulfing pathogens and cellular debris, as well as in participating in immune and inflammatory responses. Macrophage proliferation helps enhance the immune system's surveillance and defense capabilities.

[0078] The method for detecting the proliferation effect of buffalo hide active peptides on RAW264.7 cells was as follows: RAW264.7 cells in the exponential growth phase were taken, and the cell density was adjusted. 100 μL of cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate. The blank control group was added with complete DMEM culture medium, and the drug-treated groups were added with 200 μL of the sample solution obtained in Example 1 at concentrations of 6.25 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL, respectively. The cells were cultured at 37℃ in an incubator containing 5% CO2 for 24 h, with 6 replicates per group. After 24 h, the supernatant was discarded, and 20 μL of MTT staining solution was added for incubation in the dark. After 4 h in the dark, MTT was discarded, and 100 μL of DMSO was added. The mixture was shaken for 10 min to dissolve the crystals, and the absorbance at 570 nm was measured immediately to calculate the cell proliferation index.

[0079] The effects of different concentrations of buffalo hide active peptides on macrophage proliferation activity, such as Figure 1 As shown, by Figure 1 It was found that buffalo hide active peptides could promote the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells. Within the concentration range of 6.25 μg / mL to 50 μg / mL, the proliferation index of RAW264.7 cells showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. After culturing with buffalo hide active peptides at a concentration of 25 μg / mL for 24 h, the proliferation rate of RAW264.7 cells was significantly increased compared with the control group, and there was no cytotoxic effect on RAW264.7 cells.

[0080] 2.2 Effects of buffalo hide active peptides on morphological changes of RAW264.7 cells

[0081] Changes in macrophage morphology are an important characteristic of macrophage activation and the realization of cellular functions when stimulated.

[0082] The method for detecting morphological changes in RAW264.7 cells by buffalo hide active peptides was as follows: when the cells were in the logarithmic growth phase, their density was adjusted to 5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 2 mL / mL in 6-well plates. After 12 h of culture, the old nutrient solution was discarded, and different concentrations (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 μg / mL) of buffalo hide active peptides were added to the experimental groups. A blank control group (DMEM complete culture medium) and a positive control group (1 μg / mL LPS) were set up, with 2 mL added to each well. After 24 h of culture, the cell morphology was observed and photographed using an inverted microscope.

[0083] The effects of different concentrations of buffalo hide active peptides on the morphology of RAW 264.7 cells, such as... Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 2It was observed that cells in the normal group were round without obvious angles. Different concentrations of buffalo hide active peptides altered the morphology of RAW 264.7 cells (indicated by red arrows). Compared with the normal control group, the low-dose group (6.25 μg / mL) showed differentiation, with some cells developing pseudopodia. In the medium-dose groups (12.5 μg / mL and 25 μg / mL), some cells developed pseudopodia. In the high-dose group (50 μg / mL), cells became larger, showed significant differentiation, and had an increased number of pseudopodia. After LPS activation, the number of differentiated cells significantly increased, and the cell shapes were mostly irregular with pseudopodia (indicated by red arrows). These results indicate that the morphology of RAW 264.7 cells changes to varying degrees under stimulation by different concentrations of buffalo hide active peptides, suggesting that buffalo hide active peptides have a certain activating effect on RAW 264.7 cells.

[0084] 2.3 Effects of buffalo hide active peptides on the phagocytic capacity of RAW264.7 cells

[0085] Macrophages can recognize and engulf bacteria through mechanisms such as pattern recognition receptors, thus playing an important role in the host's defense against bacterial infection.

[0086] The method for detecting the phagocytic ability of buffalo hide active peptides on RAW264.7 cells was as follows: RAW264.7 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were taken and the density was adjusted to approximately 1×10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 200 μL / mL into 96-well plates. After 24 h of incubation, the supernatant was discarded, and 200 μL of the sample solutions obtained in Example 1 (6.25 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL, respectively) were added to each well. The blank group received only 200 μL of complete culture medium, while the positive control group received 200 μL of culture medium containing LPS (final LPS concentration 1 μg / mL). Six replicates were set up for each group. After 24 h of incubation, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed twice with PBS. 200 μL of culture medium and 20 μL of neutral red staining solution were added to each well, and the cells were incubated for 2 h. The supernatant was discarded, and 200 μL of lysis buffer was added to each well. The cells were shaken at room temperature for 10 min, and the absorbance was measured using a microplate reader to calculate the phagocytic index.

[0087] The effects of different concentrations of buffalo hide active peptides on the phagocytic capacity of RAW264.7 cells, as follows: Figure 3 As shown. By Figure 3 It was found that both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and buffalo hide active peptides could enhance the phagocytic ability of RAW264.7 cells. Within the concentration range of 6.25 μg / mL to 50 μg / mL, the phagocytic rate of RAW264.7 cells showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. After culturing with buffalo hide active peptides at a concentration of 25 μg / mL for 24 h, the phagocytic rate of RAW264.7 cells showed a significant increase compared to the control group.

[0088] 2.4 Effects of buffalo hide active peptides on NO secretion in RAW264.7 cells

[0089] Nitric oxide (NO) is a key regulator of immune cell function, participating in the body's inflammatory and immune regulation processes, and has the function of killing bacteria, viruses and tumor cells.

[0090] The method for detecting NO secretion in RAW264.7 cells by buffalo hide active peptides was as follows: Logarithmic growth phase RAW264.7 cells were seeded in 96-well culture plates, with a volume of 200 μL per well and a density of 102. 5 Cells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. After cell attachment, the supernatant was discarded, and 200 μL of the sample solution obtained in Example 1 (6.25 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL) were added to each well. A blank group and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group were set up, with 6 replicates in each group. After culturing at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours, 200 μL of the supernatant was collected, and the NO secretion was measured according to the instructions of each kit.

[0091] The effects of different concentrations of buffalo hide active peptides on NO release from macrophages, as follows: Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 It was found that the stimulatory effect of buffalo hide active peptides on NO secretion in RAW264.7 cells was dose-related. At a concentration of 25 μg / mL, the amount of NO secreted by RAW264.7 cells was 6.88 μmol / mL, which was close to the amount of NO produced in the LPS-positive control group (7.01 μmol / mL). Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the concentration of active peptides in buffalo hide, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).

[0092] Experimental Example 3: In vivo immunomodulatory effect of buffalo hide active peptides

[0093] 1. Animal grouping and feeding methods

[0094] After the acclimatization period, mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: a blank control group, a model control group, a positive control group, a low-dose sample group, and a high-dose sample group, with 8 mice in each group. Except for the blank control group, all other groups received intraperitoneal injections of cyclophosphamide daily at a dose of 80 mg / kg for 5 consecutive days to establish the model. On day 6, gavage treatment began. The positive control group received levamisole at a dose of 25 mg / kg, the sample treatment groups received the low-dose (100 mg / kg) and high-dose (500 mg / kg) buffalo hide active peptide samples from Example 1, respectively, and the blank control and model control groups received an equal volume of distilled water. This gavage treatment continued for 14 days. After the last gavage treatment, mice were fasted for 12 hours but allowed free access to water, and were then sacrificed for various immune marker tests. Specific experimental groups and gavage doses of the test samples are shown in Table 2. The low-dose and high-dose groups represent the low and high doses of buffalo hide active peptide converted from the recommended human dose.

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] 2. Detection indicators

[0099] The following test indicators were analyzed using Prism 9.5 software to process the experimental data and perform statistical analysis.

[0100] 2.1 Effects of buffalo hide active peptides on mouse immune organs

[0101] The thymus and spleen are two important immune organs in the body. The thymus is the site of T lymphocyte differentiation, development, and maturation, while the spleen is the site of T and B lymphocyte storage and function. Therefore, their weight gain often represents lymphocyte proliferation, thus directly reflecting the strength of the immune response. This experiment investigated the effects of buffalo hide active peptides from Example 1 on the immune organs of mice. The immune organ index was determined as follows: 14 days after administration, mice were fasted but not watered for 12 hours, weighed, and then euthanized by cervical dislocation. The thymus and spleen were removed, and the peritoneal fluid on the surface of the organs was blotted dry with filter paper. The organs were then weighed, and the difference was divided by the mouse's body weight. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0102]

[0103] Figure 5 The changes in thymus and spleen indices in mice under different treatment groups are shown. Figure 5As shown, after 14 days of gavage treatment, the thymus index and spleen index of the model group mice were lower than those of the blank control group, positive control group and low- and high-dose sample groups. This indicates that buffalo hide active peptides increased the thymus index and spleen index of immunocompromised mice, which can effectively delay the degeneration of immune organs. Its effect is similar to that of the positive drug levamisole, and there is no significant dose dependence.

[0104] 2.2 Effects of buffalo hide active peptides on peripheral blood leukocyte levels in mice

[0105] Changes in peripheral blood cell levels in mice can reflect their immune status. This experiment investigated the effect of buffalo hide active peptides from Example 1 on peripheral blood leukocyte levels in mice. The procedure for measuring mouse peripheral blood leukocyte levels was as follows: after drug administration, blood was collected from the eyeballs of mice, and the peripheral blood leukocyte levels were measured using a complete blood count analyzer within 2 hours.

[0106] Figure 6 The effect of buffalo hide active peptides on peripheral blood leukocyte levels in mice was demonstrated. Figure 6 As shown, after 14 days of gavage treatment, compared with the model group, the peripheral blood leukocyte levels in the low- and high-dose groups of mice were significantly increased (p<0.05), essentially returning to the levels of the blank control group. These results indicate that buffalo hide active peptides have a regulatory effect on the immune function of immunosuppressed mice.

[0107] In summary, this invention, using a RAW264.7 cell model, verified that buffalo hide active peptides can enhance the proliferation capacity of RAW264.7 cells, alter cell morphology, and increase phagocytic capacity and NO secretion, indicating that buffalo hide active peptides have an immune-enhancing effect. An immunocompromised mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide. After continuous gavage administration of buffalo hide active peptides for 14 days, the spleen and thymus indices of the mice increased, effectively inhibiting the decline of immune organs induced by cyclophosphamide. The peripheral blood leukocyte level of the mice significantly increased, essentially returning to the level of the blank control group, indicating that appropriate intake of buffalo hide active peptides can effectively enhance immunity, improve immunodeficiency, and improve physical condition. Therefore, this research provides theoretical support for the application of buffalo hide active peptides in the preparation of nutritional foods, regulatory drugs, or health products with immunomodulatory effects.
