The invention relates to the technical field of
natural product extraction, in particular to a
torreya grandis crude
polysaccharide extraction method and application of the
torreya grandis crude
polysaccharide in
neuronal differentiation.The
torreya grandis crude
polysaccharide is extracted through an ultrasonic wave-
microwave-
enzyme method combined auxiliary extraction technology, the polysaccharide content is detected to be 67.92% through a
phenol-
sulfuric acid method, the relative molecular
mass is 3000 kDa, and the content of the polysaccharide in the
torreya grandis crude polysaccharide is 87.92%. A novel method is provided for a
torreya grandis polysaccharide extraction process; besides, activity research is carried out on the extracted
torreya grandis crude polysaccharide, the torreya grandis crude polysaccharide can promote
bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to differentiate into neuronal cells,
mRNA expression of
neuron specific markers Netin, MAP2 and VEGF-A in the BMSCs is increased, the
protein level of
neuronal differentiation related genes beta-tubin III, Thy-1 and
Enolase is up-regulated, and the effect of promoting the differentiation of the neuronal cells is achieved. A good nerve repairing effect is embodied, and the material is expected to be applied to
clinical treatment of
nerve diseases.
