Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bioengineering and medicine, and relates to a Saussurea culture and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Saussurea is a commonly used rare ethnic medicine in China, which is recorded in Sheng Mao Gong Mu Shi Yi and Jing Zhu Ben Cao (Crystal Materia Medica) and is derived from the dry aboveground parts or whole plants of Saussurea medusa, Saussurea laniceps and Saussurea involucrata and other plants of the same genus. Saussurea is mainly distributed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the western region of China and is a rare and endangered medicinal resource that is prohibited from being picked up illegally. Due to the special growth environment, Saussurea takes 4 to 5 years to bloom, has a low natural reproduction rate and grows slowly, so it is difficult to obtain Saussurea medicinal resource through breeding and cultivation technology.

[0003] Plant cell culture (PCC) is a promising biosynthesis platform, which has the advantages of short growth cycle, high cost-effectiveness, no pathogen damage, rich secondary metabolites, and is not affected by geographical environment and seasonal climate, and can efficiently produce natural products with limited accumulation in plants. In the aspect of germplasm resource protection, the application of plant cells reduces the dependence on and damage to wild plants, and there is no problem of transgenic pollution such as release of transgenic organisms, which can effectively solve the contradiction between supply and demand while maintaining ecological diversity and stability.

[0004] Saussurea contains rich natural active substances, which are warm and slightly bitter, have the effects of warming kidney and assisting yang, dispelling wind and dampness, and promoting blood circulation, and have a wide application prospect in the field of biological medicine. The existing research on Saussurea cell culture mainly focuses on flavonoids, polysaccharides, polyphenols and other plant secondary metabolites, but the application research in the fields of diabetes and obesity still needs to be developed.

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, a Saussurea culture and a preparation method and application thereof are developed. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a Saussurea culture.

[0007] Another purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of the Saussurea culture.

[0008] Still another purpose of the present application is to provide an application of the Saussurea culture.

[0009] The present application is realized by the following technical solutions: A saussurea cultivar is a selenium and chromium rich saussurea cell culture with DPP-IV inhibitory activity.

[0010] Further, the selenium content in the saussurea cell culture is above 200 mg / Kg dry weight, and the chromium Cr 3+ content is above 20 mg / Kg dry weight; in addition, the chromium Cr 6+ content is not detected; the 70% ethanol extract of the saussurea cell culture has an inhibition rate of 99.08% in the DPP-IV inhibition test in vitro.

[0011] Further, the preparation method of the saussurea cell culture is obtained by inoculating the explants of saussurea on the MS basic medium containing selenium source and chromium source, and then carrying out plant cell culture.

[0012] The preparation method of the saussurea cell culture comprises the following steps: 1) selecting mature seeds of saussurea or saussurea involucrata, and washing the seeds with water to remove the soil dust on the seeds; 2) soaking the washed seeds with 75% ethanol, washing with sterile water, and rinsing with sodium hypochlorite solution, then absorbing the water, inoculating into the MS medium containing 4% sucrose and 0.8% agar, and culturing for 3-5 days, collecting the sterile seedlings with a length of 2-3 cm as the explants for inducing callus; 3) cutting the hypocotyls, cotyledons and cotyledons of the sterile seedlings into 0.5 cm 2 -1 cm 2 fragments, and placing the fragments into the screening medium for successive screening, and culturing under light at a temperature of 18-25°C to induce loose and high-growth callus; 4) successively screening and amplifying the callus cells to obtain loose and high-growth callus cells and storing the callus cells; 5) culturing the stored callus cells for 15-20 days, collecting the saussurea cell culture, washing and centrifuging with purified water, and then using the boiling drying method to dry the culture at a drying temperature of 40-50°C until the water content of the culture is ≤10%, thereby obtaining the saussurea cell culture.

[0013] The screening medium comprises sodium selenite with a concentration range of 0.1 μM-100 μM, and chromium trichloride with a concentration range of 0.1 μM-100 μM. The MS medium comprises 4% sucrose, 2 mg / L NAA, and 0.5 mg / L 6-BA.

[0014] The storage method of the callus cells is storage by uninterrupted culture at room temperature, storage by low-temperature solid culture, storage by liquid culture, or storage by suspension cell culture. The callus cell culture adopts a culture bottle liquid suspension culture method: the temperature is 18-25 DEG C, the illumination is 2500-3500 lux, 12 hours, the culture period is 15-20 days, and the shaking bed rotating speed is 120-150 r / min.

[0015] The callus cell culture adopts a bioreactor culture method: the temperature is 18-25 DEG C, the illumination is 2500-3500 lux, 12 hours, the culture period is 15-20 days, and the stirring rotating speed is 30-50 r / min.

[0016] The saussurea cell culture can be applied to the preparation of medicines, health foods or functional foods for preventing and / or treating type 2 diabetes, obesity and related metabolic diseases (hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia).

[0017] Selenium is one of the essential trace elements for human body, which has the functions of antioxidation, immunity, thyroid hormone regulation, detoxification, and male reproductive health protection. Plant cells are good carriers for enriching trace element selenium. The present application uses saussurea cells to enrich selenium, improves the nutritional value and efficacy of cell raw materials, and the enriched selenium can convert inorganic selenium into organic selenium compounds with lower toxicity and stronger function, so that the selenium-enriched saussurea cell culture raw material is more suitable for use as a functional food raw material. Meanwhile, based on the maximum tolerance and recommended intake of selenium per day for an adult, the present application determines how to effectively enrich selenium into saussurea cell raw materials through a large number of tests, and the technical scheme is beneficial to the growth of saussurea cells and the synthesis of existing flavonoids and other secondary metabolites.

[0018] In nature, chromium mainly exists in the forms of Cr(III) and Cr(VI), and trivalent chromium is an essential trace element for human body and has the effect of enhancing insulin. 3+ By forming glucose tolerance factor (GTF), chromium can synergize with insulin to play a physiological role. 3+ When Cr(III) is polymerized with low molecular weight chromium polymer (LMWCr), it can enhance the activity of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, so that the function of insulin in the body is reduced in the state of chromium deficiency. The present application solves the problems that organic chromium is mainly extracted from chromium-rich yeast with high cost, and the chromium content in ordinary plants is too low to achieve the health care effect by inoculating the explants of saussurea on the MS basic medium containing selenium source and chromium source.

[0019] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulin polypeptide (GIP) are main members of the gut incretin family, which promote the synthesis and secretion of insulin by stimulating and protecting pancreatic beta cells, and reduce postprandial blood glucose. Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) can cleave a variety of peptide hormones including GLP-1 and GIP, and rapidly inactivate them; DPP-IV inhibitors indirectly promote insulin secretion by inhibiting the activity of DPP-IV to increase the level of gut incretins GLP-1 and GIP in vivo, thereby alleviating the symptoms of hyperglycemia in patients with type II diabetes. The selenium and chromium-rich saussurea culture prepared by the above method of the present application can be used for the preparation of a drug for preventing and / or treating type 2 diabetes, obesity and related metabolic diseases (hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia), a health food or a functional food. The DPP-IV inhibition rate can reach more than 99%, compared with the existing artificially synthesized DPP-IV inhibitors, without side effects and without increasing the burden on the kidneys.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application inoculates the explant of saussurea on the MS basic medium containing selenium source and chromium source, to obtain a selenium and chromium-rich saussurea culture with high DPP-IV inhibition rate, which can be widely used in the preparation of a drug for preventing and / or treating type 2 diabetes, obesity and related metabolic diseases (hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia), a health food or a functional food. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to further understand the content of the present application, the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with examples. It should be understood that the examples are only used to explain the present application but not to limit the present application. EXAMPLE

[0022] A preparation method of a saussurea culture, comprising the following steps: 1) Select mature seeds of Saussurea involucrata or Saussurea involucrata granules with full particles and consistent color, place them in a small beaker, cover the beaker opening with degreasing gauze, and wash them under a tap to wash away the dirt on the seeds, then soak the seeds in warm water for 20 min; 2) Soak the washed seeds in 75% ethanol for 30 s, wash them with sterile water, and soak them in 10% calcium hypochlorite solution for 8 min, and continuously stir the seeds with sterile tweezers to make them fully contact with the calcium hypochlorite solution, wash them with sterile water for 3 times, and finally place them on sterile filter paper to absorb the water on the surface of the seeds; inoculate them into MS basic medium containing 3% sucrose and 1% agar, the MS medium contains 3% sucrose, 2 mg / L NAA, and 0.5 mg / L 6-BA; cultivate them at 18-25°C under light for 12 h / d; after 4 days, the seeds will germinate and grow into sterile seedlings, and the germination rate can reach 90%, and the sterile seedlings with a length of 2-3 cm are used as explants for inducing callus.

[0023] 3) Cut the hypocotyl, embryo, and cotyledon of the sterile seedling into 0.5 cm2 ~1 cm 2 The fragments are put into a screening medium for successive screening, and loose and high-yield callus is induced by culture under light at a temperature of 18-25 DEG C.
