Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically referring to the application of a high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide component. Background Technology

[0002] Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by impaired lung diffusion capacity, triggered by various direct or indirect factors (including trauma, infection, dyspnea, shock, etc.). Without timely and effective intervention, ALI can rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which has a high mortality rate. As a common critical illness in critical care medicine, ALI / ARDS has a complex pathogenesis and is difficult to treat clinically, seriously threatening patients' lives and health, and has become an important research topic in respiratory and critical care medicine. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), derived from the cell wall of Klebsiella pneumoniae (a Gram-negative bacterium), has been proven to be an important pathogenic factor inducing acute lung injury (ALI).

[0003] Currently, the clinical treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) mainly relies on mechanical ventilation and symptom management. While mechanical ventilation can maintain oxygenation, inappropriate ventilator settings may lead to ventilator-associated lung injury, further aggravating alveolar epithelial damage. Regarding drug treatment of symptoms, although glucocorticoids have anti-inflammatory effects, their immunosuppressive effects may increase the risk of infection, and their clinical efficacy remains controversial. Furthermore, interventions such as exogenous surfactant replacement therapy and antioxidants still have limitations in clinical application, including low bioavailability and poor targeting. While these traditional treatments can alleviate symptoms to some extent, they have failed to effectively block the key pathological processes of ALI, particularly their limited effect on repairing the alveolar-capillary barrier function. Therefore, exploring novel treatment strategies with multi-target regulatory effects, high safety, and the ability to promote lung tissue repair has become a key focus in current ALI research. In recent years, studies have shown that the alkaloids of the natural plant *Astragalus membranaceus* have potential in regulating lung inflammation, and that the active ingredient astragaloside A in *Astragalus membranaceus* can exert anti-fibrotic effects. In summary, natural medicines, with their rich active ingredients and good biocompatibility, demonstrate unique advantages in disease treatment, especially their multiple pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and epithelial repair, which provide new ideas for the treatment of ALI.

[0004] Inonotus obliquus contains a variety of pharmacologically active chemical components, mainly including Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOP), triterpenoids (such as betulinol), polyphenols, steroids, and alkaloids. Among these active components, IOP exhibits significant biological activity and favorable pharmacological effects, making it a research hotspot. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome some of the problems mentioned in the background above, the present invention provides an application of a high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide component to at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] According to the technical solution of the present invention, an application of high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide is provided. The high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide component exerts a preventive and therapeutic effect by inhibiting autophagy in lung tissue cells and the lncRNA-dependent Rmst pathway, thereby reducing the number of autophagosomes in lung tissue and the conversion level of LC3-I to LC3-II.

[0007] Preferably, the extraction of the high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1. Take the crude polysaccharide from Inonotus obliquus extract, remove the protein using the Sevage method, and obtain a deproteinized crude polysaccharide solution;

[0009] Step 2. The deproteinized crude polysaccharide solution is purified by dialysis using an MD55 dialysis bag, and the dialysis fluid is collected.

[0010] Step 3. Load the dialysate into a DEAE-52 ion exchange column chromatography system and collect the polysaccharide active components by elution;

[0011] Step 4. The polysaccharide active components are further separated and purified using a G-200 gel chromatography system. The eluent is collected and freeze-dried to obtain high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide.

[0012] Preferably, the molecular weight cutoff of the MD55 dialysis bag in step 2 is 8000~14000 Da, the dialysis time is 48~72 h, and the dialysis fluid is replaced every 8~12 h during the dialysis process.

[0013] Preferably, the eluent for the DEAE-52 ion exchange column chromatography in step 3 is deionized water and a 0.1~0.5 mol / L gradient NaCl solution, and the elution flow rate is 1~2 mL / min.

[0014] Preferably, in step 4, the loading volume of G-200 gel chromatography is 2 mL of polysaccharide solution, the eluent is distilled water, the elution flow rate is 0.5~1 mL / min, and one fraction is collected every 3~5 mL.

[0015] Preferably, in step 1, the reagent volume ratio of the Sevage method is polysaccharide solution: Sevage reagent (n-butanol: dichloromethane = 1:5) = 4:1. The mixture is stirred at 3000 rpm for 20 min on a magnetic stirrer, then transferred to a separatory funnel and allowed to stand for 60 min for extraction. The upper polysaccharide solution is collected, and the operation is repeated until no intermediate protein layer appears.

[0016] Preferably, the polysaccharide active component is labeled IOP-d1;

[0017] The high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides were analyzed by phenol-sulfuric acid method to obtain four specific molecular weight components: IOP-g1, IOP-g2, IOP-g3, and IOP-g4. The molecular weight order of the four groups of high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides was IOP-g1 > IOP-g2 > IOP-g3 > IOP-g4.

[0018] Preferably, the IOP-d1 component has a molecular weight of 50-100 kDa and is non-cytotoxic to MLE-12 lung epithelial cells in the concentration range of 10-200 μg / mL.

[0019] Preferably, treatment with the polysaccharide component at a concentration of 100 μg / mL can significantly improve the survival rate of LPS-damaged lung epithelial cells MLE-12.

[0020] Preferably, the drug is administered via pre-gastric gavage, starting 7 days before bacterial pneumonia modeling, once daily, at a dose of 1.2 ml / kg, with the polysaccharide component concentration in the drug being 10~200 μg / ml.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. Significant purification effect: The purification process of this invention can significantly increase the sugar content of IOP compared to crude polysaccharide extraction, significantly reduce the protein content, and separate four active components with specific molecular weights, with a clear molecular weight range (IOP-g1>IOP-g2>IOP-g3>IOP-g4), meeting the requirements of drug development for "controllable purity and clear components".

[0023] 2. Precise application scenarios: For the first time, high-purity IOP is used for the prevention and treatment of "bacterial pneumonia-related ALI", rather than a broad range of ALI, targeting pneumonia complications caused by clinical drug-resistant bacteria, filling the application gap of natural polysaccharides in this field;

[0024] 3. Clear and reliable mechanism: This study is the first to reveal that IOP works by "inhibiting pulmonary autophagy + lncRNA Rmst", providing molecular mechanism support for the clinical application of IOP and avoiding the limitation of existing studies that "only know the effect but not the mechanism".

[0025] 4. Safe and effective administration: The safe concentration range and pre-gavage protocol of IOP are clearly defined. While exerting a lung-protective effect, it has no side effects such as immunosuppression and cytotoxicity, and has greater clinical advantages than glucocorticoids.

[0026] 5. Industrialization and reproducibility: The equipment used in the purification process is all conventional equipment in the biopharmaceutical field, with clear steps and well-defined parameters, enabling large-scale production; the operation procedures and detection methods for animal and cell experiments all comply with GLP standards, and the results can be repeatedly verified.

Based on the embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection.

[0047] This invention provides an application of a high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide. The high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide component exerts a preventive and therapeutic effect by inhibiting autophagy in lung tissue cells and the lncRNA-dependent Rmst pathway, thereby reducing the number of autophagosomes in lung tissue and the conversion level of LC3-I to LC3-II.

[0048] The extraction of the high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide includes the following steps:

The mixture is placed on a magnetic stirrer and stirred at 3000 rpm for 20 min. It is then transferred to a separatory funnel and allowed to stand for 60 min for extraction. The upper polysaccharide solution is collected, and the operation is repeated until no intermediate protein layer appears.

[0057] In a further embodiment of this example, the polysaccharide active component is labeled as IOP-d1;

[0058] The high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides were analyzed by phenol-sulfuric acid method to obtain four specific molecular weight components: IOP-g1, IOP-g2, IOP-g3, and IOP-g4. The molecular weight order of the four groups of high-purity Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides was IOP-g1 > IOP-g2 > IOP-g3 > IOP-g4.

[0059] In a further embodiment of this example, the molecular weight of the IOP-d1 component is 50~100kDa, and it has no cytotoxicity to MLE-12 lung epithelial cells in the concentration range of 10~200μg / mL.

[0060] In a further embodiment of this example, the polysaccharide component, after being treated at a concentration of 100 μg / mL, can significantly improve the survival rate of LPS-damaged lung epithelial cells MLE-12.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] Take 100g of crude polysaccharide from Inonotus obliquus extract and prepare a 50mg / ml polysaccharide solution. Add Sevage reagent (n-butanol: dichloromethane = 1:5) to make the volume ratio of polysaccharide solution to Sevage reagent 4:1. Stir at 3000rpm for 20min on a magnetic stirrer, transfer to a separatory funnel and let stand for 60min for extraction. Collect the upper polysaccharide solution. Repeat the operation until no intermediate protein interface appears after centrifugation. Freeze-dry for later use.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] The polysaccharide powder obtained in Example 1 was prepared into 10 mL of liquid, placed into an MD55 dialysis bag (molecular weight cutoff 8000~14000 Da), and placed in 1 L of ultrapure water at 4 °C for overnight dialysis.

The elution curve was plotted as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the components corresponding to the four main peaks were collected: IOP-g1, IOP-g2, IOP-g3, and IOP-g4.

[0076] The components were freeze-dried to obtain IOP-g1 (12 mg), IOP-g2 (18 mg), IOP-g3 (25 mg), and IOP-g4 (15 mg). The sugar content was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method, and the protein content was determined by the BCA method. The results showed that the sugar content of each component after purification was 30%~50% higher than that of the crude polysaccharide (P<0.01), and the protein content was less than 0.5% (more than 90% lower than that of the crude polysaccharide, P<0.0001), which met the requirements for drug purity.

[0077] Example 4

[0078] Wild-type C57BL / 6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6 / group):

[0079] CON group: Daily gavage administration of normal saline (1.2 mL / kg) for 7 days, followed by intravenous infusion of normal saline (50 μL / animal) on the 7th day.

[0080] IOP group: 100 μg / mL high-purity IOP (1.2 mL / kg) was administered by gavage daily for 7 days, followed by intravenous infusion of physiological saline on the 7th day;

[0081] LPS group: Daily gavage with normal saline for 7 days, followed by intravenous infusion of 5 mg / kg KP-LPS (50 μL / animal) on the 7th day to establish a bacterial pneumonia-related ALI model.

[0082] LPS+IOP group: 100 μg / mL high-purity IOP was administered by gavage daily for 7 days, followed by 5 mg / kg KP-LPS via intravenous drip on the 7th day.

[0083] An additional Rmst⁻ / ⁻ mouse control group (Rmst⁻ / ⁻LPS group, Rmst⁻ / ⁻LPS+IOP group) was established, with the same grouping and treatment as wild-type mice, except for the genotype of the mice.

[0084] HE staining and pathological scoring: Mice were sacrificed 12 hours after modeling, and right lung tissue was taken, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, sectioned (5μm), and stained with HE. According to Table 1 (Lung Tissue Pathological Scoring Table), the scores were given from 5 dimensions: "focal alveolar wall thickening, interstitial edema, hyaline membrane formation, inflammatory cell infiltration, and hemorrhage" (0~3 points / item, total score 0~15 points).

[0085] Table 1 Lung Tissue Pathology Scoring Table

[0086] Rating Items none Mild moderate Severe Focal alveolar wall thickening 0 1 2 3 Pulmonary interstitial edema 0 1 2 3 Transparent film formation 0 1 2 3 Inflammatory cell infiltration in alveoli and interstitium 0 1 2 3 Alveolar and capillary hemorrhage 0 1 2 3

[0087] Results: In the LPS group, the alveolar walls of the lung tissue of mice showed diffuse thickening and significant inflammatory cell infiltration, with a total score of 12.5±1.2. The total score in the LPS+IOP group decreased to 5.2±0.8 (P<0.0001), while the total score in the Rmst⁻ / ⁻LPS+IOP group remained at 11.8±1.0 (no significant difference from the Rmst⁻ / ⁻LPS group), demonstrating that IOP can alleviate lung injury in reliance on Rmst. Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown.

[0088] Detection of pro-inflammatory factors: Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum from mice were collected, and the levels of IL-6 and IL-1β were detected using an ELISA kit; RNA was extracted from lung tissue, and the expression levels of IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.

[0089] Results: The IL-6 content in BALF of the LPS group was 3 times that of the CON group (P<0.0001), and the serum IL-6 content was 12 times that of the CON group; the IL-6 and IL-1β content in BALF and serum of the LPS+IOP group decreased by 40%~60% compared with the LPS group (P<0.01), and the mRNA expression level was significantly reduced (P<0.0001), demonstrating that IOP can inhibit the inflammatory response, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0090] Transmission electron microscopy: A small piece of left lung tissue (1 mm³) was taken, fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde, stained with osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in a gradient manner, embedded in resin, and ultrathinly sectioned (70 nm). The number of autophagosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy (marked with red arrows).

[0091] Results: The number of autophagosomes in lung tissue was (18.5±2.3) per field of view in the LPS group; it decreased to (6.2±1.5) per field of view in the LPS+IOP group (P<0.01); while the number of autophagosomes in the Rmst⁻ / ⁻LPS+IOP group remained at (17.8±2.1) per field of view, demonstrating that IOP-dependent Rmst-dependent inhibition of autophagy, as Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown.

[0092] Western Blot detection: Total protein was extracted from lung tissue, quantified, and then subjected to SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis (60V stacking gel, 80V running gel). The membrane was transferred (300mA, 60min), blocked, and then incubated overnight at 4℃ with LC3 antibody (1:1000). Secondary antibody (1:10000) was incubated at room temperature for 1h, and then detected by a two-color laser imaging system.

[0093] Results: The LC3-II / LC3-I ratio in the LPS group was 2.8 times that in the CON group; in the LPS+IOP group, this ratio decreased to 1.5 times (P<0.01), demonstrating that IOP inhibits the LC3-I→LC3-II conversion. Figure 10 As shown.

[0094] Cytotoxicity screening: MLE-12 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁻⁶ cells / well). 4 (10, 50, 100, and 200 μg / mL of high-purity IOP were added to each well, and the cells were cultured for 12 h and 24 h, respectively. Then, CCK-8 reagent (10 μL / well) was added, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured, and the survival rate was calculated.

[0095] Results: Cell viability was >95% after treatment with all IOP concentrations (no significant difference compared to the blank control group), demonstrating that 10–200 μg / mL IOP is non-toxic to MLE-12. Figure 7 As shown.

[0096] Verification of cell protection effect: MLE-12 cells were divided into CON group, IOP group (100μg / mL), LPS group (5μg / mL) and IOP+LPS group. After 24h of culture, the survival rate was detected by CCK-8 assay.

[0097] Results: The cell survival rate in the LPS group was 68.7% ± 3.5%; the survival rate in the IOP + LPS group increased to 86.2% ± 4.1% (P < 0.05), demonstrating that IOP can protect LPS-damaged lung epithelial cells. Figure 8 As shown.
