Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular to a nanoparticle, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in anti-aging. Background Art

[0002] As the largest organ in the human body, the skin is also the first line of defense against the external environment. It reflects various physiological and pathological changes in the human body, including the aging process. Age-related changes in the skin are closely related to overall aging. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine discusses the aging process. For example, the "Suwen: On the Original Nature of Ancient Times" states: "At seven or eight... the essence of heaven is exhausted, the essence is scarce, the kidneys weaken, and the body reaches its limit. At eight or eight, the teeth and hair fall out." It also points out that the facial skin is an outward manifestation of the changes in qi, blood, yin and yang within the internal organs. For example, the "Lingshu: On the Forms of Evil Qi and Organ Diseases" states: "The meeting point of all yang is the face... The twelve meridians and three hundred and sixty-five collaterals all flow upwards to the face and flow through the orifices..." The "Suwen: On the Six Sections of Organs and Images" states: "The heart, its brilliance is in the face." And the "Suwen: On the Creation of the Five Zang Organs" states: "The lungs are connected to the skin and their glory is the hair." These descriptions correspond to different parts of the face and organs.

[0003] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) posits that the signs of skin aging, such as dullness, wrinkles, and sagging, are primarily due to problems with Qi and blood. Qi is the leader of blood, and blood is the mother of Qi. Qi and blood are interdependent. When Qi is deficient, the force driving blood circulation is insufficient, leading to blood deficiency; blood deficiency, in turn, impairs the production of Qi. The two complement each other, jointly maintaining vital activities and a radiant complexion. The aging process of the skin largely reflects Qi and blood deficiency, or poor circulation. Activating blood circulation and replenishing Qi are crucial treatments that target this core pathological link.

[0004] From an evolutionary and ecological perspective, the defensive substances produced by medicinal plants in response to adversity, in addition to improving their own adaptation to environmental stress, can also produce good biocompatibility with the human body and be used to treat human diseases. This evolutionary law determines the multi-component material basis of traditional Chinese medicine. Due to their closed structure, extracellular vesicles derived from traditional Chinese medicine often contain a large amount of intracellular bioactive substances such as proteins and nucleic acids, and are one of the main material bases for intercellular communication. Studies on extracellular vesicles of Chinese herbal medicines have found that different nanovesicles can be effectively taken up by different cells, and deliver substances into cells or further change cell functions. Therefore, the present invention specifically proposes a nanoparticle composed of extracellular vesicles of Chinese herbal medicines. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Example 1

[0048] 1. Preparation of ASNPs stock solution

[0049] Fresh astragalus and salvia miltiorrhiza were weighed, washed and peeled, and then washed together with instruments with pure water. The washed astragalus and salvia miltiorrhiza were cut into small pieces as much as possible using the washed instruments. A certain amount of pre-cooled PBS (volume ratio of 1:3) was added to the cut small pieces of astragalus and salvia miltiorrhiza (weight ratio of 1.5:1-2.5:1, and 1.5:1 was used in this embodiment) and then juiced. The juice was squeezed for 1 minute and stopped for 2 minutes for a total of 7 times to obtain a squeezed juice. The squeezed juice was filtered using sterile gauze to obtain an astragalus and salvia miltiorrhiza stock solution.

[0050] 2. Preparation of ASNPs Nanoparticles

[0051] 1) Remove the Astragalus and Salvia miltiorrhiza stock solution and transfer it to a first centrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 1000 × g for 15 min at 4°C to obtain a first centrifuge solution.

[0052] 2) Transfer the supernatant of the first centrifuge to a second centrifuge tube and centrifuge again at 3000 × g for 30 min at 4°C to obtain a second centrifuge.

[0053] 3) Transfer the supernatant of the second centrifuge to a third centrifuge tube and centrifuge again at 10,000 × g for 30 min at 4°C to obtain a third centrifuge;

[0054] 4) Transfer the supernatant of the third centrifuge to a fourth centrifuge tube and centrifuge again at 10,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C until no precipitate is observed, thereby obtaining the fourth centrifuge.

[0055] 5) The supernatant of the fourth centrifugation liquid was removed and filtered through a 0.45 μm and a 0.22 μm filter membrane using a 1 mL syringe (without the needle) to obtain a filtrate;

[0056] 6) Transfer the filtrate to a fifth centrifuge tube (ultracentrifuge tube) and ultracentrifuge at 100,000 × g for 90 min at 4°C to obtain the fifth centrifuge solution;

[0057] 7) After removing the supernatant of the fifth centrifugation solution and resuspending the solution in PBS, ultracentrifuge at 100,000 × g for 90 minutes at 4°C to obtain the sixth centrifugation solution;

The sucrose solutions of different concentrations will form layers due to gravity with clear dividing lines. Carefully add 6 mL of the suspension dropwise to the upper layer of the 8% sucrose solution. Ultracentrifuge at 150,000 g for 120 minutes at 4°C.

[0068] 4) Carefully aspirate the nanoparticles from the 30% sucrose solution and 45% sucrose solution layers, then add an appropriate amount of PBS. Ultracentrifuge at 150,000g for 120 minutes at 4°C. Resuspend in 1 mL of PBS to obtain the purified exosome suspension, which is the ASNP nanoparticles. Store at 4°C or -80°C.

[0069] At the same time, the nanoparticles were extracted using conventional methods and freeze-dried (reference: Trenkenschuh E, Friess W.

[0104] Example 2 Effect of ASNPs Nanoparticles on Nematode Survival Rate

[0105] 1. Maintenance and synchronization of C. elegans strains

[0106] Bristol strain N2 was used as the wild-type strain. Nematodes were maintained and cultured under standard conditions (20°C) on nematode growth medium (NGM) agar coated with a lawn of live Escherichia coli OP50 as a nutrient source. The day before the experiment, pregnant hermaphroditic adults were bleached by sodium hypochlorite (NaOH / HClO) treatment, eggs were purified by centrifugation, and incubated overnight in M9 buffer to obtain an age-synchronized population of first-stage (L1) nematodes. Three days after L1 synchronization, synchronized fourth-stage (L4) nematodes were obtained.

[0107] 2. ASNPs nanoparticle treatment

[0108] To evaluate the potential protective effect of ASNPs against oxidative stress induced by endogenous superoxide radical generator PQ, synchronized L4 nematodes were divided into control group (PBS) and ASNPs nanoparticle treatment group (1×10 8 / mL). The nematodes were transferred to NGM plates containing 50mM 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine (FuDR) to block offspring production. Synchronized L4 nematodes were cultured with ASNPs for 48 hours under a single diet (OP50 suspension). Each group had approximately 30 nematodes per plate, for a total of 100-130 individuals per group. Unresponsive nematodes were determined to be dead by repeated gentle mechanical stimulation (touch) and removed from the culture dish. Survival was assessed at the endpoint.

[0109] 3. Results

[0110] The survival rates of nematodes in the two groups were shown in Figure 8 The nematodes treated with ASNPs were able to resist the damage caused by oxygen free radicals, and their survival period was extended from 19 days to 21 days, a 10.5% extension.

[0111] Based on the above experimental results, the present invention provides a method for extracting and preparing ASNPs nanoparticles. This method can successfully extract Astragalus and Salvia miltiorrhiza nanoparticles (ASNPs). Cell and animal experiments have confirmed that the ASNPs prepared by the present invention can significantly alleviate cellular aging, resist oxidative stress induced by the endogenous superoxide free radical generator PQ, and improve the survival rate of nematodes. Therefore, the present invention provides a new approach and technical foundation for alleviating aging and resisting oxidative stress. The ASNPs prepared by the present invention have broad application prospects.
