Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of marine product functional applications, functional foods and biotechnology, specifically relating to an oyster oligopeptide for alleviating DSS-induced ulcerative colitis, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the rectum and colon, characterized by periodic mucosal inflammation and ulceration, clinically manifesting as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. In recent years, the incidence of ulcerative colitis has been steadily increasing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Although the etiology of ulcerative colitis is not fully understood, numerous studies have shown that its pathological process is closely related to oxidative stress and inflammatory responses: increased reactive oxygen species at sites of colonic injury lead to tissue oxidative stress, which in turn triggers a cascade of inflammatory responses, further exacerbating tissue damage.
[0003] Currently used treatments include 5-ASA, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants. While these have significant therapeutic effects, they also come with side effects such as fever, diarrhea, gastric ulcers, and increased nephrotoxicity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop safer, more natural, and non-toxic alternative active ingredients to prevent and treat ulcerative colitis.
[0004] Caspase-1 is a component of the NOD-like receptor heat protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, primarily existing in an inactive precursor form in the cytoplasm. However, its uncontrolled activation upon stimulation can trigger a severe inflammatory cascade, including the conversion of inactive precursors of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 into their active forms via proteolytic cleavage. Therefore, inhibiting the expression and activity of Caspase-1 is considered helpful in slowing the development of inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that dietary peptides can alleviate ulcerative colitis through multiple pathways, including reducing oxidative stress, lowering inflammation levels, and enhancing antioxidant activity, indicating that dietary peptides have great potential in developing drugs to alleviate ulcerative colitis or as adjunctive therapies for ulcerative colitis.
[0005] Oysters are widely cultivated bivalve mollusks with rich nutritional and medicinal value. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, oysters have astringent properties for the large and small intestines and can treat diarrhea. Their soft parts are rich in protein, accounting for approximately 40-50% of their total dry matter, making them an excellent source for preparing bioactive peptides. Oyster peptides have been proven to possess various biological activities, including antihypertensive, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, showing significant potential for the preparation of pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and novel marine health products. Therefore, extracting bioactive peptides from oysters that can alleviate DSS-induced ulcerative colitis is of great significance for the treatment, prevention, and adjunctive control of DSS-induced ulcerative colitis, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation levels in the body, promoting intestinal mucosal repair, and the high-value utilization of oyster bioactive peptide resources.

[0032] The preparation of an oyster oligopeptide for alleviating DSS-induced ulcerative colitis according to the present invention includes enzymatic hydrolysis and purification, sequence identification, bioinformatics screening, and synthetic verification. The oyster used in the embodiments of this application is the Hong Kong giant oyster.
[0033] The specific steps include:
[0034] (1) Preparation of crude peptides from oyster enzymatic hydrolysis: Oyster meat was taken and crushed into a homogenate at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:4. The pH was adjusted to 8, and the temperature was preheated to 37°C. Trypsin was added for enzymatic hydrolysis at a dosage of 3000 U / g for 4 h. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the enzyme was inactivated by boiling in a water bath for 10 min. The inactivated hydrolysate was cooled at 4°C and centrifuged at 8000 r / min for 30 min. After removing the lipids, the supernatant was taken and 3 times the volume of 95% ethanol was added.

[0046] (4) Evaluation of cell activity of crude peptides hydrolyzed from oysters:
[0047] 1) Cell culture: NCM460 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin and 100 μg / mL streptomycin, and cultured at 37°C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2.
[0048] 2) Cell viability assay: NCM460 cells were incubated at 5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 3 Cells were seeded per well in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 h until adhesion occurred. Except for the control group, all other groups were treated with DSS (2.5%, m / v) to induce cell damage. After 24 h, cells were treated for 24 h with different concentrations of oyster enzyme-digested crude peptides (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 μg / mL), 5-ASA (30 μg / mL), or physiological saline. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay according to the kit instructions. Cell viability was calculated using the following formula.
[0049] Cell viability (%) = (A s -A b ) / (A c -A b ) × 100%
[0050] A s Group A (dosing group) 450 nm;A c Model group A 450 nm;A b : A in the blank group 450 nm.
[0051] 3) Wound healing experiment: NCM460 cells were cultured at 5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 5 Cells were seeded per well in 6-well plates and incubated until a monolayer of cells formed. Except for the control group, cells in all other groups were treated with DSS (2.5%, m / v) to induce cell damage. After 24 h, linear scratches were created by uniformly scraping the cell monolayer with the tip of a 10 μL sterile pipette perpendicular to the cell monolayer. Cells were washed with PBS and incubated in serum-free medium. The experimental groups were given 100 μg / mL oyster enzyme-digested crude peptides, while the positive control group was given 30 μg / mL 5-ASA. The degree of wound healing in each well was photographed under a microscope at 0, 12, 24, and 36 h, and the wound area was calculated. Cell migration was analyzed by wound closure rate, and the wound healing rate was calculated using the following formula.
[0052] Wound healing rate (%) = (S0-S t ) / S0× 100%
[0053] S0: Wound area at 0 h; S t : Wound area at different observation times.
[0054] 4) Cytokine detection: NCM460 cells were cultured at 5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 5Cells were seeded per well in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 h until adhesion occurred. Except for the control group, all other cell groups were cultured in fresh medium containing DSS (2.5%, m / v). After 24 h, the DSS was removed, and fresh medium containing (6.25, 25, 100 μg / mL) oyster enzymatic hydrolysate, 30 μg / mL 5-ASA, or physiological saline was added, and the cells were incubated for 24 h. Cell supernatants were collected, and the levels of IL-6, NO, ROS, and SOD activity were measured according to the kit instructions.
[0055] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the oyster enzymatic hydrolysis crude peptides prepared by this invention significantly alleviated DSS-induced NCM460 cell damage, improved NCM460 cell activity, promoted cell migration at the cell wound site, reduced intracellular oxidative stress and inflammation levels, and enhanced the cell's antioxidant capacity.
[0056] (5) Identification of crude peptide sequences from oyster enzymatic hydrolysis: The crude oyster peptides were desalted and then their structures were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS). The chromatographic column was an Ionopticks Aurora C18 (250 mm × 75 μm, inner diameter 1.6 μm). Mobile phase A was ultrapure water containing 0.1% formic acid, and mobile phase B was acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid. The gradient elution conditions were as follows: 0-45 min: 4-37% B; 45-50 min: 37-80% B; 50-55 min: 80-80% B; 55-55.1 min: 80-1% B; 55.1-60 min: 1% B. Mass spectrometry conditions: Nano-electrospray ionization source, positive ion scanning mode, DDA-PASEF mode, TIMS accumulation time fixed at 100 ms, and ion mobility separation time fixed at 100 ms. The mobility values range from 0.7 to 1.3 Vs / cm. 2 (1 / K0), mass scan range 100-1700 m / z. A total of 16,564 peptide sequences were obtained.
[0057] (6) Screening of bioactive peptides using network pharmacology methods
[0058] 1) The 16,564 identified peptide sequences were subjected to biological activity and toxicity predictions, resulting in 1,536 potentially non-toxic active peptides. For example... Figure 3 As shown, target prediction was performed on these 1536 peptide sequences, resulting in 207 predicted oyster peptide targets, which were used as the target set for oyster peptides.
[0059] 2) Based on the thresholds p adj.<0.05 and |log2FC|>1, 2516 differentially expressed genes were screened from the GSE87473, GSE36807 and GSE10616 datasets in the GEO database to obtain a disease target set for ulcerative colitis.
[0060] 3) The intersection of the oyster peptide target set and the disease target set of ulcerative colitis is obtained to obtain the potential target set of oyster peptides for alleviating ulcerative colitis.
[0061] 4) The intersection target points were input into relevant software to construct a protein-protein interaction network, and the top 10 core gene targets in the protein-protein interaction network were obtained. The top 10 core gene targets correspond to 612 different peptide sequences, and by predicting the allergenicity of the peptides, 223 potential non-toxic and non-allergenic bioactive oligopeptides were finally obtained.
[0062] (7) Molecular docking
[0063] 1) Semi-flexible molecular docking was performed using software. Crystal structures were obtained from the RSCB PDB database (https: / / www.rcsb.org / ), including STAT3 (PDB ID: 6NJS), PTGS2 (PDB ID: 5F19), CASP1 (PDB ID: 6F6R), and MMP9 (PDB ID: 4WZV). The receptor protein was dehydrated, hydrogenated, and ligands and impurities were removed before being designated as the receptor. Gasteiger charges were added to 223 peptide sequences, and MM2 force field energy was minimized before designating them as ligands. Docking was performed using the original coordination site or active site of the receptor protein's original ligand.
[0064] 2) Based on the docking results, the 20 peptides with the strongest binding affinity to each target protein were screened, and the interactions between the peptides and target proteins were analyzed. The number of peptides binding to the characteristic binding sites of the target proteins was considered, such as... Figure 4 Fifteen preferred peptides were screened (Table 1) and then prepared by a company using solid-phase synthesis.

The old culture medium was removed, and fresh culture medium containing different concentrations of oligopeptides (1, 5, 25 μg / mL) or 30 μg / mL 5-ASA was added. After 24 h of culture, the cell supernatant was collected, and IL-6, TNF-α, ROS levels, and SOD activity were measured according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0071] (9) Molecular Dynamics Simulation: Based on the molecular docking results, molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the Caspase-1 protein and peptide complex, generating the protein's topological structure. A GAFF force field was added to the peptide, and hydrogen was added while calculating the RESP potential. The TIP3P water model was used for the simulation, and appropriate amounts of Na+ and Cl- were added to neutralize the charge of the simulated system. The steepest descent algorithm was used to minimize energy, and the Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) method was used to calculate long-range electrostatic interactions. For short-range electrostatic and van der Waals interactions, the cutoff distance was set to 1.0 nm. The LINCS algorithm was used to constrain all participating hydrogen bonds. The system underwent NVT and NPT equilibration before the simulation, each lasting 100 ps. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations were performed for 100 ns in isothermal (300 K) and isobaric (1 bar) systems using periodic boundary conditions. The pressure was maintained using a Berendsen pressure regulator, and the temperature was adjusted using the V-rescale temperature coupling method. The integration time step is set to 2 fs, and the motion trajectory is recorded every 10 ps.
[0072] The results are as follows Figure 7As shown, the synthetic peptides FADGGAPR and GFADGGAPR prepared in this invention both bind stably to the target protein Caspase-1. Among them, FADGGAPR forms a more deeply intercalated binding conformation with Caspase-1, and GFADGGAPR has a greater impact on the protein's active loop region.
