Dextran molecular weight standards (Mw4320, Mw12600, Mw70800, Mw126000, beijing solibao technologies ltd).
It should be noted that, the effective separation range of the Reprosil 125SEC chromatographic column is 3000-500000, so the calculated molecular weight and the actual molecular weight will vary, and considering the research purpose of the experiment, the separation range of the separation column is enough to determine the hydrolysis condition of the astragalus polysaccharide and the yield problem of the astragalus polysaccharide in the medium molecular weight fraction.
1.2.2 preparation of molecular weight Standard Curve

1.3 study of acid hydrolysis Process of Astragalus polysaccharides

Figure RE-GDA0002140626190000081
1.4.2 results of hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of Astragalus polysaccharides
The molecular weight composition of the polysaccharides in the hydrolysate was determined after hydrolysis at different hydrochloric acid concentrations and the results were as follows:
TABLE 2 hydrolysis Effect of Astragalus polysaccharides with different hydrochloric acid concentrations
Figure RE-GDA0002140626190000082
Figure RE-GDA0002140626190000091
According to the experimental results, the hydrolyzed astragalus polysaccharide mainly comprises three parts of materials with different molecular weight sections, namely high, middle and low, wherein the high molecular weight section is mainly unhydrolyzed astragalus polysaccharide, and the average relative molecular weight is 1.5 multiplied by 105About dalton, the middle molecular weight segment mainly comprises partially hydrolyzed Astragalus polysaccharides, and the molecular weight is 103~104Dalton, and the low molecular weight segment is mainly composed of monosaccharide or oligosaccharide with complete hydrolysis, and the molecular weight is less than 103And D, dalton. The results show that the proportion of the high molecular weight section is gradually reduced and the proportion of the medium and low molecular weight sections is gradually increased along with the gradual increase of the concentration of the hydrochloric acid, when the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is 0.16mol/L, the content of the astragalus polysaccharide in the high molecular weight section is reduced to about 10 percent, and the relative proportion of the polysaccharide in the medium molecular weight section reaches more than 70 percent, which indicates that most of the astragalus polysaccharide is hydrolyzed, and the astragalus polysaccharide with medium and small molecular weight is mainly in the products. When the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is 0.32mol/L, the relative proportion of substances in the low molecular weight section reaches more than 90 percent, and the molecular weight is between 400 and 500 daltons, which indicates that the astragalus polysaccharide is hydrolyzed completely.
Therefore, when the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 0.16mol/L, the hydrolysis temperature is 80 ℃, and the hydrolysis time is 5 hours, the hydrolysis condition is more suitable for preparing the astragalus polysaccharide with the medium molecular weight segment.
1.4.3 results of the Trifluoropolysaccharide trifluoroacetic acid hydrolysis process
The molecular weight composition of the polysaccharides in the hydrolysate was determined after hydrolysis at different trifluoroacetic acid concentrations and the results are as follows:
TABLE 3 hydrolysis Effect of Astragalus polysaccharides at different trifluoroacetic acid concentrations
Figure RE-GDA0002140626190000092
Similar to the experimental results of hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, the hydrolyzed Astragalus polysaccharides mainly comprise three parts of high, medium and low molecular weight fractions, wherein the high molecular weight fraction is mainly unhydrolyzed Astragalus polysaccharides, and the average relative molecular weight is 1.5 × 105About dalton, the middle molecular weight segment mainly comprises partially hydrolyzed Astragalus polysaccharides, and the molecular weight is 103~104Daltons, while the low molecular weight segment is mainly composed of monosaccharides or oligosaccharides that are hydrolyzed relatively thoroughly, and has a molecular weight below 1000 daltons. As can be seen from the results, with the gradually increasing concentration of trifluoroacetic acid, the proportion of the high molecular weight segment gradually decreases, and the proportion of the medium and low molecular weight segment gradually increases, according to the experimental results, the trifluoroacetic acid concentration is 0.10mol ^ based onAnd in the L period, the content of the astragalus polysaccharide in the high molecular weight section is reduced to about 25 percent, and the relative proportion of the medium molecular weight section reaches more than 60 percent, which shows that most of the astragalus polysaccharide is hydrolyzed, and the relative molecular weights are about 4000 daltons respectively. At a concentration of 0.20mol/L trifluoroacetic acid, the relative proportion of low molecular weight fraction in the product having a molecular weight below 1000 is high, indicating that the hydrolysis is relatively complete.
Therefore, when the concentration of trifluoroacetic acid is 0.10mol/L, the hydrolysis temperature is 80 ℃, and the hydrolysis time is 5h, the hydrolysis condition is more suitable for preparing the astragalus polysaccharide with the medium molecular weight segment.
1.4.4 conclusion:
the concentration of the hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of the astragalus polysaccharide is 0.16 mol/L; the trifluoroacetic acid is preferably 0.10mol/L, and the temperature can be 80 ℃ and the hydrolysis time can be 5h when different acids are hydrolyzed.
1.4.6 discussion
When the astragalus polysaccharide is hydrolyzed completely, the products are mainly oligosaccharides and monosaccharides, the molecular weight is generally lower than 1000 daltons, and the oligosaccharides and monosaccharides have small influence on the mucosal immune function; the hydrolysate has a molecular weight of 103~104Polysaccharides between daltons may have both good mucosal immune regulation and intestinal microecosystem regulation, so the main evaluation index of astragalus polysaccharide hydrolysis process is to increase the molecular weight of hydrolysate to 103~104Relative content of polysaccharides in daltons. In the above experiment, the molecular weight is preferably 103~104The relative content of the astragalus polysaccharide with middle molecular weight of dalton in the total hydrolysate is not less than 50%.
The most main factors influencing the hydrolysis of astragalus polysaccharide are acid concentration, which is too high to cause over-hydrolysis and even total hydrolysis into monosaccharide, and too low acid concentration and too low hydrolysis degree which is 103~104The product of polysaccharides in daltons is too little. The hydrolysis time, the hydrolysis temperature and other conditions have relatively small influence on the hydrolysis degree, and can be adjusted according to the actual production requirements. In addition, the first and second substrates are,the hydrolysis of astragalus polysaccharide can select various acids, such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and the like, but theoretically analysis shows that the sulfuric acid and the nitric acid have oxidizing property, the types of hydrolysis products are more, the structure of the products can also be changed, and simultaneously, other particles such as sulfate radicals and nitrate radicals are doped in the products, so that the subsequent functions of the products are influenced, and the environmental pollution is higher. The hydrochloric acid hydrolysis process introduces chloride ions, the boiling point of trifluoroacetic acid is 72.4 ℃, the chlorine ions can be volatilized and removed in the drying process, and the residue in the product has little influence on the functions of future products, so that the selection of hydrochloric acid and trifluoroacetic acid has certain advantages in industrial production.
Stability study of acid hydrolysis process of astragalus polysaccharide
Compared with the enzymatic hydrolysis method, the polysaccharide hydrolyzed by the acid hydrolysis method has high randomness of hydrolysis sites and relatively complex product components, so that whether the product composition is stable under the acid hydrolysis process condition is an important factor related to the product efficacy, and the composition stability condition of the acid hydrolysis product under the optimized process condition is explored. For the present invention, the core requirement of the acid hydrolysis product is that after the astragalus polysaccharide is hydrolyzed, the product is the astragalus polysaccharide with small molecular weight and small polymerization degree, and the astragalus polysaccharide is not excessively hydrolyzed into monosaccharide or oligosaccharide to reduce the immune regulation function of the astragalus polysaccharide. The stability of the reaction hydrolysis process is formed by detecting the molecular weight of the astragalus polysaccharide acid hydrolysis product.

3.5.4 influence of Astragalus polysaccharides and middle molecular weight fraction of Astragalus polysaccharides on mouse intestinal flora
The analysis of the sample dilution curve data during the sequencing of the mouse intestinal flora 16SrRNA shows that the OUT level number is not increased along with the increase of the sequencing sequence number, the dilution curve tends to be flat, the sequencing data are reasonable, and the subsequent data analysis is meaningful. There are several indexes describing the structural diversity of intestinal flora, wherein Ace and Chao indexes represent the abundance of the flora, and Shannon and Simpson indexes represent the diversity of the flora. The larger the Ace index and the Chao index are, the higher the representation richness is; the larger the Shannon index is, the higher the community diversity is; the smaller the Simpson index, the higher the diversity of the representative community. From fig. 2, it can be derived: compared with Ncontrol, the abundance of Model (Ace, Chao) is reduced (p < 0.05), while the Chao indexes of Pcontrol, astragalus polysaccharide with middle molecular weight and astragalus polysaccharide are obviously increased (p < 0.05); the Ace index of Pcontrol and medium molecular weight section astragalus polysaccharide is obviously increased (p is less than 0.05); the Ace index of astragalus polysaccharide has a recovery trend, but has no significant difference. The community diversity index Shannon index change difference among groups is small, the Simpson index shows that the diversity of the model group has a descending trend, and only the astragalus polysaccharide group with the middle molecular weight section has a certain recovery effect on Simpson.
PCoA analysis (principal co-ordinates analysis) was used to study the similarity and differences in the composition of the intestinal flora in each group. The closer the relative distance between the numerical samples of the abscissa and ordinate axes in the PCoA chart is, the higher the similarity between the two groups is, otherwise, the greater the difference is. The percentage of the horizontal and vertical axes represents the proportion of different factors contributing to the variability between the different groups. FIG. 3 is a PCoA analysis chart showing the structure of intestinal bacteria among the groups, and it can be seen from the analysis chart that Model is far away from Ncontrol, Pcontrol, the distance between the medium molecular weight fraction of Astragalus polysaccharides and Ncontrol is relatively close, the recovery trend is relatively obvious, and the recovery trend of Astragalus polysaccharides is relatively weak.
Fecal DNA from all groups of samples was detected by Miseq illumina sequencing in the V3-V4 region, with a total of 8 major phyla detected, with less than 1% of phyla assigned to others. These eight phyla are, respectively, deferobacteres (deironium), spirochaetee (spirillum), Fusobacteria (fusobacterium), Proteobacteria (proteobacterium), Actinobacteria (actinomycetes), Firmicutes (Firmicutes), bactoidides (Bacteroidetes), unclassified _ k __ noran. Statistics were taken of the Firmicutes/bacterioides changes in each group, as shown in Table 13. The Firmicutes/bacterioides ratio in the Model is very significantly increased compared to Ncontrol (p < 0.01); compared with a Model, the proportion of Firmicutes/bacterioides in Pcontrol and DAPS is remarkably or extremely remarkably reduced (p is less than 0.05, p is less than 0.01), the recovery trend is obvious, and the proportion of APS is not reduced; DAPS decreased significantly compared to APS (p < 0.05).

Analysis at the genus level showed that less than 1% of the genera were assigned to others, with greater than 1% of the 35 genera detected in total. Table 14 gives statistics on the genera with significant variation among the groups. The major changes in relative contents in the Model compared to Ncontrol are: the relative abundance of Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, prevotellaceae _ UGG-001, norak _ f _ Bacteroidales _ S24-7_ group, Odoribacter, Lachnospiraceae _ NK4A136_ group, Alloprovella, etc. decreases (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01), and the relative abundance of Rhodococcus increases (p < 0.05). Compared with a Model, the Pcontrol and DAPS genera have obvious recovery tendency (p is less than 0.05 or p is less than 0.01), the Lactobacillus recovery effect in the APS group is obvious (p is less than 0.05), and the recovery tendency to other genera is not obvious. Compared with APS, Bacteroides, prevotellaceae _ UGG-001, norak _ f _ Bacteroides _ S24-7_ group, Odoribacter, Lachnospiraceae _ NK4A136_ group, Allopreviella in DAPS are increased remarkably or extremely remarkably (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01), and Rhodococcus is decreased remarkably (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the DAPS has obvious recovery effect on the disturbance of the level of the intestinal flora, and the effect is better than that of the APS.

3.5.5 measurement of SCFA (short chain fatty acid) in mouse feces
Respectively injecting samples by using standard acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid, wherein standard curves are respectively as follows: 0.00000418 x +0.52159094 for y, 0.999 for R2 (acetic acid); y 0.00000013x +0.02089694, R2 0.999 (propionic acid); y is 0.00000011x +0.01671176 and R2 is 0.999 (butyric acid).
Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) are fermentation products of intestinal flora with carbohydrates as substrates, mainly comprising acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, etc. The relative content of SCFA in each group was determined from the calibration curve. As shown in fig. 4, compared with n.control, the content of acetic acid (acetic acid), propionic acid (propionic acid) and butyric acid (butyrate) in the feces of CY-induced immunosuppressed mice showed a significantly decreased trend (p < 0.05). APS in FIG. 4, Astragalus polysaccharides group; DAPS is a middle molecular weight astragalus polysaccharide group; control is normal control group; model is a Model group; control, positive control group;
note: compared with the normal group, # p < 0.05, # p < 0.01; p < 0.05, p < 0.01; Δ p < 0.05 compared to APS (400).
After the astragalus polysaccharide and the medium molecular weight astragalus polysaccharide are treated, the content of short-chain fatty acid in the excrement is increased, and compared with a Model, the data difference has a significant meaning (p is less than 0.05). Therefore, the astragalus polysaccharide and the medium molecular weight section of astragalus polysaccharide can recover the reduction of the immunosuppressed mouse intestinal flora metabolite SCFA caused by CY, and the result shows that the recovery effect of the medium molecular weight section of astragalus polysaccharide is better than that of the astragalus polysaccharide.
3.6 conclusion
The astragalus polysaccharide has the function of promoting immunity; the astragalus polysaccharide also has certain influence on intestinal flora disorder of immunized mice induced by cyclophosphamide, and can promote the generation of intestinal bacteria metabolite short-chain fatty acid; therefore, the influence of astragalus polysaccharides on the mucosal immune function is related to the influence of astragalus polysaccharides on the microecology of intestinal flora; in vitro intestinal culture experiments prove that the astragalus polysaccharide can promote the secretion of SIgA and enhance the intestinal mucosa immune function. In multiple indexes detected, such as SIgA secretion, IFN-gamma/IL-4, small intestine tissue tight junction protein ZO-1 expression, intestinal microecological change, SCFA content spleen index and the like, the recovery effect of the astragalus polysaccharide with a medium molecular weight segment on immunosuppressive mice is superior to that of the astragalus polysaccharide, so that the astragalus polysaccharide hydrolysate has a better effect of promoting mucosal immunity.
