[0068] Time (min) B phase 0 4% 2 8% 45 28% 55 40% 56 95% 66 95%

[0081] Then, through the online system database comparison, 5 peptide segments with high matching degree and relative intensity greater than 10 9 are screened out, and the specific sequence is shown in Table 1.

[0082] Table 1: Sequences of screened peptide segments

[0083] Peptide segment number Peptide segment sequence Edible bird's nest peptide A PAAVPGI (the most effective peptide segment) Edible bird's nest peptide B HACASVD Edible bird's nest peptide C PAAMEGP Edible bird's nest peptide D TVPAAVP Edible bird's nest peptide E VEAGAGT

[0084] Solid phase synthesis process is adopted, and Yannest peptide A is synthesized in the direction from C terminal to N terminal, and the specific method is as follows:

[0085] 4.0 g of Fmoc-Wang Resin with a substitution degree of 0.4 mmol / g is weighed and added to a solid phase reaction column, 20 mL of DMF is added and washed twice, the solvent is removed, 60 mL of DMF is added and swelled for 30 min. Washed twice with DMF, add piperidine DMF mixed solution (volume ratio 1:3) and stir for 20 min, monitor the reaction completion by ninhydrin coloration method. Washed with DMF and DCM for 5 times respectively, 2.17 g (6.40 mmol) of Fmoc-Ile-OH and 1.04 g (7.60 mmol) of HOBt are dissolved in DMF, 1.20 mL (7.6 mmol) of DIC is added under ice bath condition, avoid light and stir for 8 min, then add the above solid phase reaction column which has removed the solvent, add 0.08 g (0.64 mmol) of DMAP, stir under nitrogen protection for 3 h, monitor the reaction completion by ninhydrin coloration method. Remove the solvent, wash with DMF for 5 times to obtain Fmoc-Ile-Wang Resin. According to the above coupling method, the Fmoc protected amino acids of Gly, Pro, Val, Ala, Ala, Pro are added and coupled in turn to extend the peptide chain. After the last coupling reaction is completed, the resin is washed with DCM, DMF and MeOH for 4 times respectively.

[0086] The obtained peptide was purified by high performance liquid chromatography to obtain Edible Bird's Nest Peptide A with a purity of 95%. Edible Bird's Nest Peptide B, C, D and E were obtained in turn by using a similar method. Figure 1 A total ion chromatogram of a sample is shown, Figures 2-6 Mass spectra of Edible Bird's Nest Peptide A, Edible Bird's Nest Peptide B, Edible Bird's Nest Peptide C, Edible Bird's Nest Peptide D and Edible Bird's Nest Peptide E are shown respectively.

[0087] Experiment 1: Screening of the function of peptide fragments in promoting nerve cell proliferation

[0088] To verify the biological activity of the peptide fragments in Table 1, the following cell experiments were performed:

[0089] Well-grown 3-4 generation SH-SY5Y cells were adjusted to a cell suspension concentration, and were dispensed into 96-well plates, 100 μL per well, 3 x 10 3 The well-grown 3-4 generation SH-SY5Y cells were adjusted to a cell suspension concentration, and were dispensed into 96-well plates, 100 μL per well, 3 x 10

[0090] After the treatment of the experimental groups 1-5, the model group and the control group, the cells were cultured for another 24 h, and the cell culture plates were taken out. 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and the cells were cultured for another 4 h. The absorbance value at 450 nm was detected by an enzyme label instrument. The cell proliferation rate was calculated according to the following formula.

[0091] Cell proliferation rate (%) = [OD (experimental group) - OD (blank group)] / [OD (control group) - OD (blank group)] * 100%

[0092] Table 2: Treatment methods of each experimental group

[0093]

[0094] SH-SY5Y cells, a subclone of the human bone marrow-derived neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH, are widely used for screening and toxicity testing of neuroactive substances due to their high similarity in morphology, physiology and biochemical functions to human cells. SH-SY5Y cells can serve as an effective testing platform to help researchers better evaluate the effects of various active substances on nerve cells. Figure 7 A comparison chart of SH-SY5Y cell proliferation rates is shown as follows, Figure 7As shown, the SH-SY5Y cell proliferation rate of the bird's nest peptide A provided by the present application is 110.53%, which indicates that the bird's nest peptide A has the effect of promoting the proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells, which indicates that the bird's nest peptide A provided by the present application has the effect of promoting the proliferation of nerve cells to a certain extent. Although the bird's nest peptides B and E have a certain effect of promoting the proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells, they are obviously weaker than the bird's nest peptide A, and the bird's nest peptides C and D cannot promote the proliferation of SH-SY5Y cells, which may be related to the amino acid sequence and spatial structure of the peptide segment itself.

[0095] Experiment two: Effect of the composition on the neural development of zebrafish

[0096] Based on the above findings, the promoting effect of the bird's nest peptide A and the fresh stewed bird's nest composition on neural development was further evaluated. The experimental grouping design is shown in Table 3.

[0097] Table 3 Composition of the bird's nest peptide composition in different treatment groups

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] Zebrafish breeding environment: room temperature: 28℃±1; light: 12h light / 12h dark cycle; fish water pH value: about 7.0; fish water salinity: 0.25-0.75‰; fish water conductivity: 400-450μS / cm.

[0101] Healthy zebrafish larvae of uniform size 5 days after fertilization were selected, and then the larvae were placed in a 6-well cell culture plate containing 0.5mg / L bird's nest peptide composition culture solution, and the control group was PBS solution, and cultured for 24h. After the culture was completed, the culture solution was aspirated, and washed with PBS solution for 3 times to wash away the culture solution.

[0102] Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity detection:

[0103] 20 zebrafish larvae were added to each tube, 300μl pre-cooled buffer lysis solution (0.1M PBS, 1% Triton X-100) was added, and ultrasonic crushing was performed on ice for 3 times, 10s each time, and 30s interval each time. After crushing, centrifugation was performed at 12000rpm for 15min at 4℃, and the supernatant was detected.

[0104] In the 96-well plate, 50μl supernatant, 50μl color developing agent (DTNB) and 50μl substrate working solution (ATCHI) were added to each well of the experimental group and the control group, 50μl supernatant, 50μl color developing agent (DTNB) and 50μl PBS solution were added to the blank group, and the reaction was carried out at 37℃ for 25min in the dark. After the reaction was completed, 50μl 1% SDS solution was added to terminate the reaction, and the absorbance (OD) was detected by the enzyme marker at 412nm.

[0105] Enzymatic activity (nmol / min / mg protein) = (OD of experimental group - OD of blank group) / (13600 M -1 cm -1 x 0.6 cm x 25 min x 6)

[0106] Dopamine (DA) content detection:

[0107] Add 20 zebrafish larvae to each tube, add 200 μΐ of 0.1 M HC104, and freeze-thaw for 3 times, each time for 10 s, with 30 s interval, 4 °C, 12,000 rpm, 15 min, and take the supernatant.

[0108] Detect the DA content according to the steps of the ELISA kit.

[0109] Acetylcholinesterase is the degradation enzyme of acetylcholine, and its activity reflects the maturity and functional state of cholinergic neurons. In zebrafish, AChE activity is closely related to the development of motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic pathways in the brain. The AChE activity of zebrafish larvae increases significantly at 5-7 days, and the AChE activity of zebrafish larvae at this time is generally in the range of 80-120 nmol / min / mg protein. DA is a key neurotransmitter for regulating movement, reward behavior and cognition, and its content reflects the development state of dopaminergic neurons (such as the hindbrain and hypothalamus). At 5 days, DA neurons have been initially formed but are still in the process of maturation, and the DA content of zebrafish larvae at this time is generally 60-250 pg. The combination of these two indicators can better evaluate the development of the nervous system of zebrafish larvae.

[0110] Figure 8 AChE activity detection of zebrafish is shown in FIG. 1, Figure 9 DA content detection of zebrafish is shown in FIG. 2, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the AChE activity and DA content of zebrafish larvae can be significantly enhanced by the bird's nest peptide composition provided by the present application, and the values are still within the normal range of zebrafish larvae at this stage, indicating that the present application can effectively promote the development of the nervous system of zebrafish larvae without damaging the nervous system of zebrafish larvae.

[0111] Experiment three: behavioral analysis

[0112] To verify the promotion of nervous system function, behavioral observation was performed on zebrafish (grouping as shown in Table 3).

[0113] Zebrafish breeding environment: room temperature: 28℃±1; light: 12h light / 12h dark cycle; fish water pH: about 7.0; fish water salinity: 0.25-0.75‰; fish water conductivity: 400-450μS / cm.

[0114] According to the experimental needs, prepare the fish in advance, and after the fish is successfully prepared, observe the 4hpf fertilized and hatched larvae under a body microscope, pick healthy and fertilized larvae, clean the larvae twice with HoltBuffer larval culture solution, and then place the larvae in a 6-well cell culture plate containing 0.5mg / L bird's nest peptide composition culture solution, and the control group is HoltBuffer. Put 20 larvae in each well and add 5mL liquid, and each 12h light / 12h dark cycle, and update about 80% of the culture solution every 24h, and the whole culture time lasts for 6 days.

[0115] After the 6-day culture of the larvae is completed, the room temperature is maintained at 28℃±1, and the time is selected between 12:30-15:30, which meets the movement platform period of the larvae and the suitable temperature. Randomly select 12 larvae from each group, place the larvae in a 48-well cell culture plate, put one larva in each well, and add 1mL of HoltBuffer larval culture solution to each well, and then place the 48-well cell culture plate under the zebrafish movement behavior instrument to record the movement behavior. After 5 minutes of adaptation, set the movement cycle as 20min dark→1min light→5min dark→20min light, and record the data by Ethovision software and export and analyze the data after recording, and analyze and record the movement data for 46min.

[0116] Figure 10 The average speed of zebrafish is shown in the comparison diagram, Figure 11 The moving distance of zebrafish is shown in the comparison diagram, Figures 10-11 The results show that the experimental groups 1-5 added with the bird's nest peptide composition all accelerate the average moving speed and moving distance of the zebrafish to different extents, which shows that the bird's nest peptide composition provided by the application can enhance the movement ability and activity level of the zebrafish larvae, while the addition of bird's nest peptide A or fresh stewed bird's nest alone cannot significantly enhance the movement ability and activity level of the zebrafish larvae, which may be due to the synergistic effect of the two.

[0117] In the zebrafish experiment, the average speed in the dark environment is usually faster than that in the light environment. Zebrafish show a higher activity level in the dark environment, which may be because the dark environment makes them feel uneasy or need to actively explore the environment to find a safe area. In the light environment, the activity of zebrafish is relatively reduced, and the speed is slower, because the light makes them feel safer and the activity tends to be stable.

[0118] The behavior analysis of animals is relatively simple, and the nervous system function development can be conveniently found, so the behavior analysis is a sensitive index of the nervous system function development of the juvenile fish. Overall, compared with the control group, the average speed and the moving distance of the juvenile fish in each treatment group have a gradually increasing trend, whether in the dark period or in the light period, with the increase of the proportion of the bird's nest peptide in the composition. This shows that the bird's nest peptide composition can promote the nervous system function development of the zebrafish to a certain extent, which may be caused by the promotion of the bird's nest peptide composition to the development of the nervous system of the zebrafish.

[0119] In conclusion, the bird's nest peptide and the bird's nest peptide composition provided by the application have the effects of promoting the proliferation of nerve cells, promoting the development of the nervous system and improving the nervous system function development to a certain extent, which provides a certain basis for developing various products suitable for pregnant women or early infants.
