Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and relates to application of a polygonum sophorae polysaccharide in preparation of a medicine for treating oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The information disclosed in this Background section is only for the purpose of increasing an understanding of the general background of the application and does not necessarily constitute an admission or a recognition that the information forms part of the prior art that is already known in this field.

[0003] Oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure has become an important public health problem. As a typical hexavalent chromium compound, K2Cr2O7 directly attacks liver cells with excessive ROS, triggering lipid peroxidation, damaging cell membrane structure and function, and triggering a series of complex inflammatory cascade reactions. This vicious cycle of oxidative stress and inflammation is a key pathological mechanism leading to liver cell damage, necrosis, and even liver fibrosis and liver failure.

[0004] Although traditional antidotes such as chelating agents can alleviate heavy metal toxicity, their clinical application has obvious limitations. For heavy metal poisoning, clinicians mainly rely on chelating agents (such as EDTA, DMSA, DMPS, etc.) for detoxification treatment. This type of drug forms stable complexes by combining with free heavy metal ions, promoting their excretion from the body. However, chelation therapy has significant limitations: 1. Non-specific chelation may chelate essential trace elements (such as zinc, copper, calcium, etc.) in the body, leading to nutritional imbalance and secondary damage. 2. Unable to remove the generated ROS, chelating agents only target metal ions themselves and have no direct removal or inhibition effect on the excessive ROS generated by heavy metals and the oxidative damage and subsequent inflammatory response caused by them. 3. Potential nephrotoxicity, some chelating agents or their metal complexes may cause burden to the kidneys. In addition, more and more studies have shown that intestinal flora homeostasis plays a key role in heavy metal toxicity (especially liver injury). Heavy metal exposure can significantly destroy the intestinal flora structure (dysbiosis), resulting in a decrease in the abundance of beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) and an increase in potentially pathogenic bacteria; this imbalance leads to impaired intestinal barrier function, increased harmful metabolites, and weakened host antioxidant defenses. However, existing chelating agents and other antidotes do not have intestinal flora regulation function, thereby affecting the treatment effect of oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application aims to provide an application of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide in the preparation of a medicine for treating oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide is obtained by extraction and purification from Prunella vulgaris, and in-vivo and in-vitro experiments are conducted to verify that the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide has the effects of liver protection, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and intestinal flora regulation, thereby facilitating the treatment of oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows: The application of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide in the preparation of a medicine for treating oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide has the effects of liver protection, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and intestinal flora regulation.

[0007] Prunella vulgaris is a perennial plant, which is rich in bioactive substances such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, triterpenoids and phenolic acids. It is often used as a health food and a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of jaundice, hepatitis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis and diabetes. The present application found that there is a Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide in Prunella vulgaris, which has the effects of liver protection, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and intestinal flora regulation, and the specific performance is as follows: The liver protection is specifically manifested as follows: the hepatitis is induced by K2Cr2O7, and the improvement of the symptoms related to hepatitis includes inhibition of body weight loss, reduction of liver weight increase, regular arrangement of liver cords, improvement of K2Cr2O7-mediated reduction of liver fibroblasts and type I collagen fibers, and reduction of ALT and AST levels; The anti-inflammation is specifically manifested as follows: improvement of the symptoms related to hepatitis caused by heavy metal ions, and reduction of the expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β; The antioxidation is specifically manifested as follows: promotion of the expression of T-AOC, SOD and GSH-Px; The intestinal flora regulation is specifically manifested as follows: reduction of the abundance of Brevundimonas, Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus, Nitrifying Spheres and Abnormal Spheres, and increase of the abundance of Unclassified Lachnospiraceae and Unclassified Erysipelotrichaceae.

[0008] Meanwhile, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide does not bind to essential trace elements in the body, and can avoid nutritional imbalance and secondary damage.

[0009] Therefore, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide having the effects of liver protection, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and intestinal flora regulation is beneficial to the treatment of oxidative liver injury caused by heavy metal exposure.

[0010] In order to obtain the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide, a preparation method thereof includes the following steps: S1, lipid-soluble substances are removed from pretreated Prunella vulgaris by ethanol reflux extraction to obtain a residue; S2, boiling the residue prepared in step S1 with water and then performing extraction treatment to obtain a water extract, removing insoluble components by centrifugation, and collecting the supernatant; S3, performing alcohol precipitation treatment on the supernatant obtained in step S2, and collecting the precipitate, i.e., crude polysaccharide; S4, obtaining the crude polysaccharide in step S3 after removing proteins.

[0011] The present application has the following beneficial effects: The present application extracts a Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide from Prunella vulgaris, which has the effects of protecting the liver, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and regulating intestinal flora. In vitro experiments show that the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide can reduce MDA, increase T-AOC, SOD, and GSH-Px, and has anti-oxidation function; in vitro experiments can improve total antioxidant capacity, ABTS free radical clearance rate, and DPPH free radical clearance rate. In vivo experiments on a K2Cr2O7-induced mouse hepatitis model show that the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide can not only improve K2Cr2O7-induced liver damage, make the liver cords align neatly, and reduce the expression levels of serum liver function indicators ATL and AST, achieving the effect of protecting the liver; but also can reduce the expression levels of mouse serum IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, achieving the effect of anti-inflammation; and can significantly regulate K2Cr2O7-induced intestinal flora disorder, increase the diversity of the intestinal flora of the mice, reduce the abundance of Brevundimonas, Lactobacillus mucus, Lactobacillus, Nitrifyingcoccus, and Parvimonas, and increase the abundance of unclassified Lachnospiraceae and unclassified Erysipelotrichaceae. The Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide is conducive to the treatment of oxidative liver damage caused by heavy metal exposure. At the same time, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide is easy to obtain, safe, has universality, and is easy to produce on a large scale. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific examples.

[0035] Example 1 A preparation method of a polygonum multiflorum polysaccharide, comprising the following steps: S1, the polygonum multiflorum is rinsed with water to remove impurities, dried in the air, then crushed, and then dried at 50℃, and the dried polygonum multiflorum is extracted with 95% ethanol by volume for 3 times, each time for 2 hours, to remove lipid-soluble substances, to obtain a residue.

[0036] S2, the residue obtained in step S1 is added with water according to a solid-liquid ratio of 1:5 (kg / L) and boiled to extract, to obtain a water extract; wherein the boiling extraction is performed for 3 times, each time for 2 hours; the water extract is centrifuged to remove insoluble components, and the supernatant is collected.

[0039] The sugar content of the prepared polygonum multiflorum polysaccharide is 88.06% determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method.

[0040] The polygonum multiflorum polysaccharide is suitable for examples 2-5.

[0041] Example 2 This example is used to determine the in vivo hepatoprotective effect of the polygonum multiflorum polysaccharide in example 1. 45 KM mice (n=15) of 4 weeks old (24.56±0.75 g) were allowed free access to water and light was on for 12 h. After three days of acclimatization, the animals were randomly divided into three groups (AC, AM, AXK). The AXK group of mice was given Sp of Pr, at a dose of 75 mg / kg, and the AC and AM groups were given the same amount of normal saline for 32 days. AM and AXK were simultaneously injected with K2Cr2O7 (25 mg / kg) (2 mL / kg, 1:1 v / v olive oil mixture) to induce hepatitis. That is, the AC group was the blank group, the AM group was the model group, and the AXK group was the Sp of Pr group. All mice were euthanized by carbon dioxide method after 24 hours of fasting and water deprivation. The serum, liver and rectal specimens were collected and stored at -80°C for further study, such as Figure 2

[0042] Mouse weight determination: The mice were weighed daily two weeks after gavage, 24 hours after the last administration.

[0043] Histological observation of liver: A part of the liver tissue was immersed in formalin fixative for fixation, and the tissue was stained with Sirius red, and the collagen fiber area was calculated.

[0044] Determination of serum liver function indicators: After the eyeball blood of each group of mice was taken, it was placed at room temperature for 30 min, and centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 10 min. The supernatant was taken for use. The contents of ALT and AST were detected according to the ELISA kit instructions.

[0045] The experimental results show that Sp of Pr can increase the weight induced by K2Cr2O7, as shown in Figure 2 B; compared with the AM group, it can significantly reduce the liver weight ( P <0.01), as shown in Figure 2 C; it can alleviate the liver damage caused by K2Cr2O7, as shown in Figure 2 D; compared with the AM group, AXK can significantly reduce the area of liver fibroblasts and type I collagen fibers ( P <0.01), as shown in Figure 2 E; the levels of ALT and AST are extremely significantly reduced ( P <0.01), as shown in Figure 3 A and B.

[0046] Example 3 This example is used to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of the Sp of Pr in Example 1: Animal treatment method, same as Example 2.

[0047] ​Effects of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide on the levels of inflammatory factors in mice: Blood was collected from the eyeballs of mice in each group, incubated at room temperature for 30 min, and centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 10 min. The supernatant was collected for later use. IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-10 were detected according to the ELISA kit instructions.

[0048] The experimental results showed that, compared with the AC group, the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the AM group were significantly increased. P <0.05); IL-10 levels were significantly reduced, while this trend was significantly reversed in the AXK group ( P >0.05), such as Figure 3 The F, G, H and I symbols are shown in the figure.

[0049] Example 4 This embodiment is used to determine the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activity of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide from Example 1: To verify the in vitro antioxidant activity, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide was serially diluted according to the kit instructions, and the total antioxidant capacity, ABTS free radical scavenging rate, and DPPH free radical scavenging rate were determined according to the kit instructions.

[0050] In vitro antioxidant experiments showed that Prunella vulgaris polysaccharides exhibited a significant concentration-dependent antioxidant effect. In the T-AOC assay, when the polysaccharide concentration was >5 mg / mL, the total antioxidant capacity reached a stable plateau (4.02 ± 0.15 μmol / L). Figure 1 As shown in A in the figure. DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging experiments showed that the scavenging rate reached 0.81 ± 0.03% at a critical concentration of 0.055 mg / mL, and thereafter remained stable with increasing concentration, as shown in Figure A. Figure 1 As shown in B and C in the figure. This result suggests that Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide can achieve a free radical scavenging saturation effect at a low concentration (0.055 mg / mL).

[0051] The animal handling method is the same as in Example 2.

[0052] Effects of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide on antioxidant factor levels in mice: Blood was collected from the eyeballs of mice in each group, incubated at room temperature for 30 min, and then centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 10 min. The supernatant was collected for later use. T-AOC, SOD, and GSH-Px were detected according to the ELISA kit instructions.

[0053] Experimental results showed that the levels of T-AOC, GSH-Px, and SOD were significantly reduced in the AM group. P <0.05, MDA level significantly increased ( P <0.05%. After treatment with Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide, the levels of T-AOC, GSH-Px, and SOD significantly increased ( P<0.05), MDA level was significantly reduced ( P <0.05), as shown in Figure 3 C, D and E.

[0054] Example 5 This example is used to determine the microbial regulation effect of example 1 Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide: Animal grouping and administration, same as example 2.

[0055] K2Cr2O7 induced hepatitis, and the rectum of each group of mice was taken for the study of fucoidan microbial regulation. The extraction of rectal microbial DNA was carried out according to the kit instructions, the V3-V4 region was amplified, the library was constructed, and the Illumina NovaSeq platform was sequenced.

[0056] Regulation of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide on the alpha diversity of mouse rectal microbiota: QIIME2 is used to analyze the alpha diversity of intestinal microorganisms.

[0057] Regulation of Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide on the flora structure of mouse rectal microbiota: non-metric multidimensional scaling, partial least squares discriminant analysis and principal coordinate analysis are used to analyze the flora structure.

[0058] The sequencing results show that a total of 4117 ASVs are detected in the three groups (1628 in the AC group, 907 in the AM group, and 1582 in the AXK group). The three groups share 117 ASVs, AC and AM share 156, and AC and AXK share 218, as shown in Figure 6 A of the above table. There are a total of 1048787 original sequences, after quality control, 49871-73263 sequences are retained in the AC group, 49700-73577 in the AXK group, and 47169-72867 in the AM group.

[0059] Alpha diversity analysis shows that the model group is lower than the blank group, the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide group is between the blank and model groups and tends to the blank group. Among them, the ACE index and Chao1 index show that the model group and the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide group are significantly different ( P <0.05), the PD-whole-tree index shows that the model group and the blank group are extremely significantly different ( P <0.01), and the Prunella vulgaris polysaccharide group has no difference with the blank group, as shown in Figure 4 A, B, C, D and E of the above table. Sparse curve and rank abundance curve show that the sequencing depth is sufficient, as shown in Figure 5 A and B of the above table. Beta diversity analysis shows that the relationship between the three groups of microorganisms is that the dispersion degree between the blank group and the model group is large, and the blank group is between the model group and the blank group, as shown in Figure 6 B, C and D of the above table. The dominant genera are Lactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus and Lactobacillus.

[0060] One differential phylum and 11 differential genera were found among the three groups after treatment with Prunella vulgaris polysaccharides P <0.05). At the phylum level, the abundance of Bacteroidetes in the AXK group was significantly higher than that in the AM and AC groups P <0.05).
