Effect verification:
firstly, cytotoxicity test:
cytotoxicity test was carried out for SA-CS-GA prepared in example 1, according to the following procedure:
after harvesting HaCaT cells, the cell concentration was adjusted at 2X 104The cells were plated at a density of one well per well (100. mu.l per well) in 96-well culture plates, each set of 6 wells, and MTT assay was performed on the cells after completion of the culture. The specific operation steps of MTT detection are as follows: after the cell treatment, 10. mu.l of MTT solution (5mg/mL) was added to each well, incubated at 37 ℃ for 4h, the liquid in each well was carefully removed, 150. mu.L of DMSO was added to each well, and the wells were shaken in the dark for 10-15min, and the absorbance (OD) of each well at a wavelength of 570nm was measured using a full-automatic enzyme calibration apparatus. Cell viability was calculated according to the following formula:
cell survival (%). test (OD)/control (OD) × 100%
The cytotoxicity test results are shown in fig. 3, and it can be seen from fig. 3 that there is no significant difference in the survival rate of the amphiphilic chitosan derivative compared to normal cells, indicating that the synthesized chitosan derivative is not cytotoxic.
II, blood compatibility test:
a blood compatibility test was performed on the SA-CS-GA prepared in example 1, according to the following procedure:
1. centrifuging fresh anticoagulated mouse blood at 2000rpm/min for 15min, discarding supernatant to obtain erythrocyte pellet, washing erythrocyte pellet with 1 XPBS buffer solution (0.1M, pH 7.2-7.4) for several times until supernatant is clear, and diluting erythrocyte pellet with PBS to volume concentration of 2% (v/v);
2. 500 mul of erythrocyte suspension and 500 mul of samples with different concentrations (dissolved by PBS, filtered, sterilized and then sterilized by ultraviolet for 30min) are mixed evenly in a 1.5mL centrifuge tube, the tube is sealed and shaken evenly and then placed in a water bath with 37 ℃ for incubation for 1h, and simultaneously 500 mul of deionized water and 500 mul of PBS are respectively mixed and cultured with 500 mul of erythrocyte suspension to be used as positive and blank controls for 3 times of parallel experiments.
FIG. 4 shows the results of the blood compatibility test, in which (A) is the hemolysis rate and (B) is a visual chart, and it can be seen from FIG. 4 that the SA-CS-GA treated sample showed no significant erythrocyte disruption compared to the water-treated sample, and that the hemolysis rate was < 5% in the concentration range, similar to the PBS-treated sample. The result shows that SA-CS-GA has no damage effect on erythrocytes when the concentration is less than 500 mug/mL, and has good blood compatibility.
Thirdly, testing the acute anti-inflammatory effect:
the acute anti-inflammatory effect test was performed on SA-CS-GA prepared in example 1, and the procedure was as follows:
male ICR mice, 6 weeks old, were raised for 1 week with free access to food and water for acclimation to the experiment and subsequent experiments were started. Mice were divided into 4 groups, normal, model, CS, SA-CS-GA, 8 mice per group. Normal group is not treated and fed normally; the right ear of the other group of mice was treated with TPA acetone solution (5. mu.g/20. mu.L) (3 consecutive days), the left ear was treated with TPA-free pure acetone liquid (20. mu.L), and the right ear of the mice was treated with CS and SA-CS-GA treatment after 1 hour as shown in FIG. 5. On day four, the ears of the mice were photographed and the mice were sacrificed for subsequent testing. The thickness of the right and left mouse ears was measured with a thickness gauge, and then the right and left mouse ear tissues were taken with a 8mm mouse ear punch, and the ear weights were weighed with an analytical balance.
FIG. 5 is a graph of ear thickness difference and ear weight difference of TPA-induced ear swelling in mice. FIG. 5(A) is the difference in ear thickness between the different treatment groups, and the results show that the difference in thickness between the right and left ears of the model group is significantly increased after the right ear of the mice is induced with TPA, compared with the normal group. Compared with the model group, the ear thickness difference of the CS group is not obviously different, while the ear thickness difference of the SA-CS-GA group is obviously reduced, which indicates that the SA-CS-GA has an inhibiting effect on the development of inflammation induced by TPA. Fig. 5(B) shows the difference in ear weight for the different treatment groups, which is similar to the difference in ear weight, and the difference in ear weight for the model group is increased and has a high significance compared to the normal group. Compared with the model group, the difference in ear weight of the CS group was not significantly different, whereas the difference in ear weight of the SA-CS-GA group was significantly reduced. Indicating that SA-CS-GA has anti-inflammatory effects.
