Collecting eluate between 50-80min, concentrating at 55 deg.C for 20min, and freeze drying to obtain defatted polypeptide powder, which is designated as DP 2.
The composition and molecular weight distribution of DP2 were analyzed in one step, and the protein content was found to be as high as 98.01%, and no fat and NaCl were contained. Fig. 5 is a mass spectrum of DP2, whose molecular weight distribution can be seen to be similar to P2, consisting mainly of 425.2166 and 301.1425 bands in the range <500 Da.
The antioxidant activity and the anticancer activity of DP2 were analyzed in one step in the fifth step, and it was found that the ability to scavenge ABTS free radicals was 38.87. mu. mol tocopherol/g sample, the ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals was 110.75. mu. mol tocopherol/g sample, and the ferric iron reducing power was 3.01mmol tocopherol/g sample. The anticancer activity of the aqueous extract polypeptide DP2 of the defatted fermented bean curd is reflected in the proliferation inhibition effect on liver cancer cells HepG2 and breast cancer cells MCF-7, after the polypeptide DP2 with the concentration of 500 mug/mL is treated for 48 hours, the proliferation inhibition rate on the MCF-7 is 26.71%, the proliferation inhibition rate on the HepG2 is 24.02%, and the inhibition rate on normal liver cells LO2 is only 11.35%, which shows that the aqueous extract polypeptide DP2 of the defatted fermented bean curd has stronger selectivity on tumor cells and can inhibit the proliferation of the tumor cells.
Example 6: active polypeptide DEP of defatted alcohol-extracted fermented bean curd
The first step is to obtain the defatted fermented bean curd as in example 4 and extract alcohol-soluble polypeptide from the precipitate after extracting water-soluble polypeptide. Namely: adding 50mL of 90% ethanol for extraction, shaking in a water bath at 25 ℃ for 50min, centrifuging at 8000r/min for 10min, pouring the supernatant into a 250mL round-bottom flask, adding 50mL of 90% ethanol into the residue of the centrifuge tube, repeating the above process for 2 times, finally adding all the ethanol extract into the 250mL round-bottom flask, concentrating at 45 ℃ for 20min to obtain a light yellow soybean polypeptide concentrate, and freeze-drying to obtain white powder which is recorded as DEP.
The second step, further analyzing the composition and molecular weight distribution of DEP, found that it had a protein content of 97.02%, a fat content of 2.11%, and a NaCl content of almost 0. FIG. 6 is a mass spectrum of the defatted fermented bean curd alcohol extract polypeptide, the molecular weight distribution thereof is similar to that of EP, and the most abundant band is 2088.0157.
The third step is to further analyze the anti-oxidation and anti-cancer activity of DEP, and the results show that the capability of eliminating ABTS free radicals is 62.81 mu mol of tocopherol/g sample, the capability of eliminating DPPH free radicals is 93.43 mu mol of tocopherol/g sample, and the ferric iron reducing power is 2.41mmol of tocopherol/g sample. The anticancer activity of the fermented bean curd alcohol extract polypeptide DEP is reflected in the proliferation inhibition effect on liver cancer cells HepG2 and breast cancer cells MCF-7, after the polypeptide DEP is treated by EP with the concentration of 500 mu g/mL for 48 hours, the proliferation inhibition efficiency on the MCF-7 is 30.33 percent, the proliferation inhibition rate on HepG2 is 27.54 percent, and the inhibition rate on normal liver cells LO2 is only 6.55 percent, which indicates that the defatted fermented bean curd alcohol extract polypeptide DEP has stronger selectivity on tumor cells and can inhibit the proliferation of the tumor cells.
As can be seen from the above examples, the water-soluble polypeptide in the humus milk has high purity after being filtered by the molecular sieve, and has significant antioxidant activity and activity of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, wherein the polypeptide with the molecular weight distribution of 500-100Da has more prominent effect (example 1 and example 4). The alcohol-soluble polypeptides in the fermented bean curd also have good efficacy, wherein the polypeptide sample which is degreased firstly and then extracted with alcohol has higher purity and better functional activity (example 6). 2 polypeptides of which sequences were obtained all had potent inhibitory effects on cancer cells, wherein the sequence VSIIDTNSLENQLDQMPR, identified from the alcohol-soluble polypeptides, was more potent in inhibiting than the mixed peptides. Through a two-step extraction method and combined with molecular sieve gel filtration, the polypeptide in the fermented bean curd can be fully extracted and purified. In addition, the extraction and preparation method of the polypeptide can be conveniently converted into an ultrafiltration method for desalting and fractionation in the actual production, so that the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
