Example 1
The embodiment provides a method for extracting a Bactrian camel milk exosome (LAB-cExo), which comprises the following steps:
(1) Feeding a dromedarion:
and selecting a female camel and earhole marker with the average age of 8-12 years, 3-4 fetuses and 2-3 months after delivery in Xinjiang. Lactic acid bacteria are mixed in feed for feeding the Bactrian camel. After continuous feeding for one month, milking and mixing evenly in the morning and in the evening, and obtaining camel milk samples.
(2) Preparation of exosomes:
transferring the camel milk sample into a new centrifuge tube, centrifuging at low speed (1000 g) at 4deg.C for 10min, and discarding precipitate to obtain skimmed milk.
Centrifuging skim milk at 4deg.C and 10000g for 45min to remove larger vesicles. Then selecting an overspeed rotor, centrifuging for 120 min at the temperature of 4 ℃ and the rotating speed of 100000g, removing the supernatant and collecting the sediment. After resuspension of the collected pellet with 20. Mu.L of pre-chilled 1 XPBS buffer, the pellet was removed by centrifugation at 2000g for 30 min at 4℃and repeated 2 times. Selecting an overspeed rotor, centrifuging the supernatant again at 4 ℃ and 100000g for 120 min, collecting precipitate, and re-suspending to form heavy suspension.
Iodixanol with different concentrations (40%, 20%, 10% and 5%) is prepared, the iodixanol with different concentrations is sequentially added into the super-separation tube along the tube wall according to the concentration from high to low, and finally 1 mL heavy suspension obtained in the above steps is added at the uppermost layer of the super-separation tube, and the rotating speed is centrifuged for 120 min under the condition of 4 ℃ and 100000 g. After centrifugation, the solution is divided into 12 layers, the liquid in the middle 6-9 layers is taken out, and the solution is centrifuged again for 120 min under the same conditions. The supernatant was removed, resuspended in 300. Mu.L of pre-chilled PBS, and the exosomes (LAB-cExo) were obtained and stored at-80 ℃.
PARTICLE size of camel milk exosomes (LAB-cero) was measured using a PARTICLE METRIX Nanoparticle Tracking Analyzer (NTA), the specific steps being: taking a frozen exosome (LAB-cExo) sample, thawing in a water bath at 25 ℃, and placing on ice; the exosome samples were diluted with PBS (exosome: pbs=1:1) and used directly for NTA detection of concentration and particle size of camel milk exosomes, and as a result, as shown in fig. 1, the average particle size was 85.20nm and the concentration was 1.11×10 12 Particles/mL。
The camel milk exosome pellet was fixed and examined by transmission electron microscopy using conventional procedures, and observed using a Hitachi transmission electron microscope, and the obtained transmission electron microscope micrograph is shown in fig. 2, while confirming the range of the above particle size distribution.
Example 2
This example was directed to sequencing and target gene prediction of the alpaca milk exosomes prepared in example 1.
After the data quality control and the length filtration are completed, the number and the duty ratio of the Reads with the length of 18-31 nt of each sample are counted, and the length distribution condition of the small RNA is obtained as shown in figure 3. mirnas are typically concentrated at 21 or 22nt. The figures show that the small RNA at lengths of 21nt and 22nt is at maximum, exceeding 41%.
Sequence miRBase 20.0 alignment of RNA after small RNA length screening, where small RNAs were annotated to different classifications, results are shown in figure 4, where small RNA species in the clean sequence include miRNA, rRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, tRNA and other sRNAs. The total rRNA is used as a quality control index of a sample, and the proportion of the camel milk exosomes is lower than 40%, so that the research sample accords with the quality control index. According to the sequencing results, 233 mirnas were detected in total. The top 25 mirnas with the highest expression levels are shown in fig. 5.
And predicting target genes of the first 25 miRNAs with highest identified expression quantity, and performing functional enrichment analysis on the target genes. The results of GO enrichment indicate (fig. 6) that most target genes are mainly enriched in related pathways such as some angiogenesis (positive regulation of angiogenesis, negative regulation of angiogenesis), cardiac development (heart development), and some endothelial cell differentiation (epithelial cell differentiation). Most of the target genes are distributed mainly in some endosomes (early endosome, endosome membrane, early endosome membrane, late endosome, recycling endosome, late endosome membrane, recycling endosome membrane), actin scaffold (actin cytoskeleton) and extracellular matrix (extracellular matrix) parts. Many target genes have actin or microtubule binding capacity (actin binding, microtubule binding).
KEGG enrichment results (fig. 7) indicate that the target gene is mainly enriched in some cardiovascular disease-related pathways, such as Lipid and atherosclerosis, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
EXAMPLE 3 investigation of the Effect of camel milk exosomes on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs)
(1) Absorption mark test
Camel milk exosomes (LAB-cero) extracted from example 1 were stained with PKH26 red fluorescent cell linker kit and unlabeled dye was removed with an exosome spin column. The dyed exosomes (2 mug/L multiplied by 10) 4 cells) or an equal volume of PBS (NC) was added to semi-miscible HUVECs. After 48h incubation, fixation was performed for 10min with 3.7% PFA wash. The nuclei of HUVECs were labeled with FITC-conjugated cyclopeptides and the labeled cells were incubated with labeled LAB-cExo to give two sets of cells (NC and LAB-cExo). The supernatant was removed and washed three more times with PBS to remove free exosomes. The exosome transfection effect of both groups of cells was measured with a fluorescence microscope, and the fluorescence microscope photograph obtained is shown in FIG. 8.
(2) Test of the Effect of camel milk exosomes on proliferation of HUVECs
As shown in FIG. 9, the survival of HUVECs cells transfected with LAB-cExo and PBS (NC) respectively was examined by CCK8 at 0, 24h, 48h and 72 h. CCK8 results indicate that LAB-cExo transfected cells have increased viability compared to control. This suggests that LAB-cExo can promote cell proliferation.
(3) Influence of camel milk exosomes on apoptosis of HUVECs
Flow cytometry was used to examine the percentage of apoptosis in two groups of HUVECs after transfection of LAB-cExo and PBS, respectively. As shown in fig. 10, the results demonstrate a significant decrease in the percentage of apoptotic cells in the LAB-cero group compared to the control group. This suggests that LAB-cExo can inhibit apoptosis.
In addition, the invention adopts a density gradient centrifugation method to extract and prepare the Bactrian camel milk exosome LAB-cExo from milk secreted by the Bactrian camel fed by lactic acid bacteria. In the method, the centrifugal times, the centrifugal time and the rotational speed are required to be strictly controlled, the time is too short or the rotational speed is too small, the outer vesicles cannot be fully extracted, the structure of the outer vesicles is damaged due to the excessive times or the excessive rotational speed, and the yield of the outer vesicles is reduced, so that the acquisition of the Bactrian camel milk exosome LAB-cExo is influenced.
