The invention discloses fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae-derived
extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: soaking a fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae
raw material, breaking walls, crushing, centrifugally filtering, concentrating by tangential flow, centrifuging in
multiple stages, filtering and the like. According to the preparation method provided by the invention,
differential centrifugation is combined with a tangential flow concentration technology, so that the
extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles can be efficiently and completely enriched and purified from the fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae. The whole process is carried out at low temperature, so that the
biological activity of the vesicles is protected to the greatest extent, the use of an
organic solvent is avoided, and the naturalness and safety of the product are ensured. According to the fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae-derived nanoparticles, by activating IRS-1, promoting PI3K activation, increasing PIP3 generation and activating Akt, GSK-3beta is subjected to
phosphorylation to inactivate GSK-3beta, excessive
phosphorylation and accumulation of
Tau protein are reduced, and plaque formation is delayed. In a diabetic
cognitive impairment model, the nanoparticles have a remarkable neuroprotective effect and can improve the cognitive function and reduce
inflammatory response.
