Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological reproduction technology, specifically to a long-lasting diluted powder of porcine semen containing natural antibacterial components and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial insemination in pigs is an important means of modernizing pig production, offering numerous advantages such as reducing the number of boars needed, decreasing disease transmission, increasing mating rates, and expanding the coverage of improved breeds. It is widely used globally. In the process of artificial insemination in pigs, semen preservation technology is crucial, and the quality of the semen diluent directly affects the semen preservation effect.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of boar semen diluents on the market, but they all have some problems. Most diluents have a short shelf life; for example, some only preserve semen for 3-4 days, which cannot meet the needs of long-term semen preservation in actual production. While some diluents can extend shelf life, their preparation processes are complex and costly, and some components may negatively impact sperm quality. For example, some diluents contain high concentrations of glucose, which can maintain a low pH level in sperm, inhibiting glycolysis; while EDTA can capture metal ions, it may inhibit sperm capacitation and acrosome reaction. Furthermore, semen is susceptible to bacterial contamination during storage, leading to decreased sperm motility and affecting fertilization outcomes, and some existing antibacterial components may have issues such as drug resistance. Therefore, developing a boar semen diluent powder that has a long shelf life, is easy to prepare, has low cost, and contains natural antibacterial components is of significant practical importance.

The eluent containing antibacterial components was collected, concentrated under reduced pressure, and dried to obtain the purified antibacterial components of rosemary.
[0122] The preparation method of the novel antimicrobial peptide includes the following steps:
[0123] 1. The natural antimicrobial peptide sequence LL-37 with strong antimicrobial activity was screened. The coding gene sequence was modified to the codon preferred by Escherichia coli using codon optimization technology. A fusion expression vector was designed, and a glutathione S-transferase tag gene was linked upstream of the antimicrobial peptide gene. An enterokinase cleavage site sequence was inserted in the middle to construct the recombinant expression plasmid pGEX-AMP. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21. Through resistance screening and PCR verification, a genetically engineered bacterium that efficiently expresses the antimicrobial peptide fusion protein was obtained.
[0124] 2. Inoculate the engineered bacteria into LB medium containing 100 μg / mL ampicillin and incubate at 37°C with shaking until OD reaches 100%. 600 =0.8, add IPTG to a final concentration of 0.5 mM, induce expression at 25℃ for 16 h, collect bacterial cells, sonicate the bacterial cells, purify the fusion protein by glutathione affinity chromatography column, elute with elution buffer containing 10 mM reduced glutathione, add enterokinase (1 U / mg fusion protein), digest at 25℃ for 16 h, and then separate by ion exchange chromatography to obtain the purified antimicrobial peptide;

Nanocellulose was selected as the grafting carrier and dispersed in deionized water to prepare a 1% (w / v) suspension. 0.5% by mass of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy free radical and 1% sodium bromide were added. Under the condition of pH=10, 5% sodium hypochlorite solution was slowly added dropwise and reacted at room temperature for 2 hours to obtain a carboxylated nanocellulose suspension.
[0126] 4. The carboxylated nanocellulose suspension and the antimicrobial peptide solution were mixed at a mass ratio of 10:1, the pH was adjusted to 5.5, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide were added as crosslinking agents at a molar ratio of 1:1 and a final concentration of 5mM for both. The reaction was carried out at room temperature in the dark for 4 hours with continuous stirring. After the reaction was completed, unreacted small molecules were removed by centrifugation and dialysis, and the grafted modified antimicrobial peptide was obtained by freeze drying.
[0127] 5. The grafted modified antimicrobial peptide was mixed with a polyethylene glycol derivative containing folic acid groups at a mass ratio of 5:1. In a borate buffer solution at pH 8.5, 1 mM of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide was added and reacted at room temperature for 8 h.

Add triethylamine, and under stirring, slowly add anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide solution of folic acid-N-hydroxysuccinimide active ester. The mass ratio of amino polyethylene glycol, triethylamine, and folic acid-N-hydroxysuccinimide active ester is 1:0.15:0.12. React at room temperature for 24 h. Dilute the reaction solution twice with deionized water, transfer it to a dialysis bag, and dialyze against deionized water for 48 h, changing the dialysate 6 times during the process.

[0151] As shown in the table above, the combination of tea polyphenols, allicin, and rosemary significantly enhances the antibacterial effect compared to tea polyphenols alone, reducing the total bacterial count. This demonstrates that the synergistic effect of multiple components broadens the antibacterial spectrum and inhibits various pathogens. Simultaneously, the novel antimicrobial peptides reduce non-specific damage to sperm from antibacterial components while enhancing local antibacterial concentration, thus improving sperm motility. The diluted powder of this invention allows for a sperm motility rate of ≥65% in boar semen after storage at 17°C for 10 days, significantly superior to traditional formulas, meeting the needs of long-distance transportation and large-scale farming.
