Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of exosome extraction technology, and more particularly to the extraction of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles. Background Technology

[0002] Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles are nanoscale vesicles derived from plant cells. They are not only rich in a variety of bioactive components, but also show significant application potential in fields such as drug delivery, disease treatment, and functional foods.

[0003] Currently, commonly used extraction methods mainly include differential centrifugation, density gradient centrifugation, and ultrafiltration.

[0004] Among them, differential centrifugation removes cell debris and larger organelles by gradually increasing centrifugal force, and finally precipitates exosomes under ultra-high speed conditions; density gradient centrifugation, on the other hand, places the sample in a density gradient medium such as sucrose or iodixanol, and then centrifuges it at ultra-high speed to enrich exosomes in a specific density zone, thereby achieving fine purification; ultrafiltration relies on ultrafiltration membranes with different molecular weight cutoffs to achieve selective separation of exosomes from impurities under external pressure.

[0005] However, all of the above methods have obvious limitations: differential centrifugation is prone to exosome structural damage due to shear force during high-speed centrifugation, and due to the complex composition of plant samples, a large number of impurities often co-precipitate with exosomes, which seriously affects their purity and resuspension effect; density gradient centrifugation can effectively improve the purity of exosomes, but the operation process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and the overall yield is low, making it difficult to meet the high-throughput requirements; ultrafiltration has the advantage of simple operation, but when processing plant samples, membrane pore blockage and non-specific adsorption of samples are prone to occur, resulting in a decrease in recovery rate. At the same time, this method can only remove impurities smaller than the membrane pore size, and its effect on the separation of large particles is limited.

[0006] In summary, existing extraction methods still have significant shortcomings in terms of product purity, recovery efficiency, and ease of operation. There is an urgent need to develop a new extraction strategy that is efficient, mild, and has the potential for large-scale application in order to improve the extraction quality and practical application value of plant exosomes.

Step S34: The collected precipitate is resuspended in PBS buffer pre-cooled to 4°C to obtain exosome polymer concentrate.

[0012] Preferably, the weight ratio of the precipitate to the PBS buffer in step S34 is 1:10 to 1:50.

[0013] Preferably, step S4 specifically includes the following steps; Step S41: Place the exosome polymer concentrate in an ultracentrifuge tube, add sucrose solution to the bottom of the tube, and collect the exosome solution suspended in the sucrose layer after processing. Step S42: Mix the collected exosome solution with PBS buffer pre-cooled to 4°C until the density is less than 1.05 g / ml, then centrifuge again and collect the precipitate; Step S43: The precipitate was pre-cooled to 4°C and resuspended in PBS buffer, then filtered to obtain plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles.

[0014] Preferably, the centrifugation conditions for steps S41 and S42 are both 4°C, 120000g, and 70min.

[0015] Preferably, the sucrose solution in step S41 is a sucrose solution with a density of 1.12-1.18 g / ml prepared with PBS.
