Description

Sulfhydrylation oxidation guar gum/sodium alginate microsphere and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and in particular relates to a sulfhydryl oxidized guar gum/sodium alginate microsphere, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The disclosure of this background section is only intended to increase the understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Inflammatory bowel disease (Inflammatory bowel diseases, IBD) is a chronic disease of the intestinal tract with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematochezia, and weight loss, which severely threatens human health. IBD has become a global public health problem. Although the pathogenesis of the disease is not yet clear, there is a potential correlation between the intestinal microbiota and the inflammatory profile. Probiotics can play a probiotic role in the body by modulating immune function, producing organic acids and antimicrobial compounds. However, since probiotics are susceptible to adverse factors such as low pH of gastric acid and bile after entering the digestive tract through oral administration, the survival rate of the probiotics reaching the intestinal tract is reduced, and it is difficult for a sufficient amount of probiotics to reach intestinal colonization, thereby exerting the probiotic effect. At present, microspheres are one of the most effective techniques for embedding probiotics. The microsphere can obviously enhance the tolerance of probiotics to severe environments, thereby increasing the number of live bacteria of the probiotics reaching the intestinal tract. Although probiotics can improve survival rate by embedding the microspheres in simulated gastric fluid, they have poor adhesion in the intestinal tract. Therefore, development of a novel drug delivery system with gastric acid resistance, intestinal targeting and intestinal adhesion fixation functions is urgently needed.

Detailed Description
In view of the problems of low survival rate of probiotics in gastric juice and poor adhesiveness in intestinal tracts, the invention provides a sulfhydryl guar gum/sodium alginate microsphere and a preparation method and application thereof.
The invention provides a preparation method of sulfhydryl oxidized guar gum/sodium alginate microspheres, which comprises the following steps:
S1, carrying out TEMPO oxidation reaction on GG to obtain OGG, and grafting L-cys onto an OGG molecular chain through amidation reaction to generate SOGG;
s2, preparing a mixed solution containing SOGG, SA and calcium carbonate, adding a bacterial suspension into the mixed solution, and stirring uniformly to obtain a water phase; preparing a liquid paraffin solution containing Span80, wherein the Span80 is fully dissolved to obtain an oil phase; slowly adding the water phase into the oil phase, emulsifying, stirring to form W/O liquid drops, adding glacial acetic acid, and continuously stirring to solidify; demulsification, standing, centrifugation, removal of oil phase and collection to obtain the microsphere.
The invention uses SOGG and SA to pass through ionsCrosslinking and disulfide bond crosslinking to prepare the microsphere loaded with probiotics. The free sulfhydryl in SOGG has adhesion and can solve the problem of adhesion and colonization of probiotics in intestinal tracts. The sulfhydryl groups in SOGG can be self-oxidized to form disulfide bonds, and the disulfide bonds can be crosslinked to prepare the microsphere. SA and Ca 2+ The chelated ions are not cracked in the stomach, and calcium hydroxide is formed in the alkaline environment of the intestinal tract for cracking, so that the effect of protecting probiotics in the stomach is achieved. However, a single SA microsphere has many pores and poor mechanical properties, and the protective effect against probiotics is poor. Therefore, SA and SOGG are compounded and crosslinked to form a double-network hydrogel, so that the porous structure of the SA hydrogel is reduced. Meanwhile, GG can be degraded by colonic bacteria to achieve the effect of targeting release of probiotics by colon. Intestinal mucus is composed of many cysteine glycoproteins-mucins, with abundant sulfhydryl groups. The thiolated polymer may form disulfide bonds with cysteines on the probiotic surface protein. The sulfur polymer may also form disulfide bonds with the mucus gel layer by either sulfhydryl or disulfide bond exchange reactions. Therefore, the sulfur polymer can be used as a bridge for connecting probiotics and mucus, so that the probiotics and the mucus can be adhered for a long time. According to the invention, SOGG and SA are compounded to form the double-network microsphere with ion chelation and disulfide bond, so that the effects of protecting probiotics and adhering and planting intestinal tracts are realized.
In some examples of this embodiment, the bacterium is lactobacillus rhamnosus cic 6141 (Lactobacillus rhamnosus), purchased from the chinese industrial microbiological bacterial collection center.
In some examples of this embodiment, the TEMPO oxidation reaction includes the steps of:
dissolving GG in deionized water, adding NaBr and TEMPO, and placing the solution in an ice-water bath after dissolving; regulating pH to 10-10.5, dropwise adding NaClO solution into the solution, controlling pH to 10-10.5 within 10min, and stopping oxidation reaction until NaClO is completely consumed and pH of the reaction is not changed; alcohol precipitation, and washing after centrifuging the precipitate; redissolving the separated precipitate in water, dialyzing, and freeze-drying to obtain OGG.
The synthetic route of OGG is shown below:
in some examples of this embodiment, the GG has a molecular weight of 200-250kDa and the aqueous solution is mostly hazy. The existence of a large number of hydroxyl groups in GG molecular chains, and intramolecular hydrogen bond self-crosslinking is a main cause of poor GG solubility.
In some examples of this embodiment, the GG to deionized water dosage ratio is 0.2-0.8g:190-210mL.
In some examples of this embodiment, naBr is added in an amount of 0.25 to 0.27g/g, GG.
In some examples of this embodiment, TEMPO is added in an amount of 18-22mg/g, GG.
In some examples of this embodiment, the effective chlorine content of the NaClO solution is 10%; the amount of NaClO is 20-25mmol/g, GG. In a TEMPO oxidation system, naClO is used as an oxidant, and the amount of NaClO used determines the degree of GG oxidation. The TEMPO oxidation system can oxidize the hydroxyl at the C6 position of GG into carboxyl, and the TEMPO oxidation system can oxidize the hydroxyl at the C6 position of GG to more than 90% under the dosage of 20-25mmol/g of GG. When the amount of NaClO is increased again, the oxidation degree is not changed basically.
In some examples of this embodiment, the amidation reaction comprises the steps of:
preparing OGG water solution with mass fraction of 0.15-0.25%, adding EDC to activate carboxyl, adding NHS to fix carboxyl after 15-25min, and stirring at room temperature for reaction for 30-50min in dark place; adding L-cys into the reaction solution, adjusting the pH, and continuously stirring at room temperature for 24 hours in a dark environment; after the reaction is completed, dialyzing to remove unreacted reagents; and freeze-drying the dialyzed liquid to obtain SOGG.
The synthetic route of SOGG is as follows:
in some examples of this embodiment, the pH is 5.0 to 6.0. The reaction pH affects the thiol content in SOGG. When the reaction pH increases, the thiol content in SOGG increases and decreases. The thiol content reached a maximum at ph=5.5.
In some examples of this embodiment, EDC: nhs=4-5:1 mass ratio. The EDC/NHS ratio also affects the thiol content in SOGG. EDC acts to activate carboxyl groups and NHS acts to fix carboxyl groups. When EDC/nhs=5:1, the mercapto content reached the highest. This is probably because NHS has a competitive relationship with L-cys by binding the immobilized carboxyl group to the activated carboxyl group.
In some examples of this embodiment, the mass ratio of OGG to L-cys is 1:5-10. The mass ratio of OGG/L-cys also influences the thiol content in SOGG. As the input of L-cys increases, the mercapto content in SOGG increases and then decreases. When the feeding ratio is 1:7, the free mercapto content is the highest.
In some examples of this embodiment, the dosage ratio between OGG and EDC is 1:5.
In some examples of this embodiment, the concentration of the bacterial suspension is 2X 10 9 cfu/mL; the volume ratio of the bacterial suspension to the mixed solution is 1:5.
In some examples of this embodiment, the liquid paraffin solution has a Span80 volume fraction of 1.5% to 2.5%, and more preferably 2%.
In some examples of this embodiment, the concentration of SOGG in the aqueous phase is 0.25% to 0.75% by mass. The concentration of SOGG affects the entrapment rate of probiotics in the microspheres. The embedding rate of the microspheres increases with the concentration of SOGG, and tends to increase and decrease. The entrapment rate of the microspheres was maximized at a SOGG concentration of 0.5%.
In some examples of this embodiment, SA and CaCO are present in the aqueous phase 3 The mass ratio of (3) is 1:3-5. Encapsulation effect of microspheres and SA and CaCO 3 Is closely related to the mass ratio of (c). Thus SA/CaCO 3 The embedding effect of the microspheres can be influenced by the mass ratio. At a ratio of 1:4, the embedding effect of the microspheres is better.
In some examples of this embodiment, the volume ratio of the aqueous phase to the oil phase is 1:2-4. In the preparation process of the microsphere, emulsification plays a key role. The volume ratio of water to oil can influence the particle size of the microsphere and thus the quality of the microsphere. When the volume of the oil phase gradually increases, the embedding rate of the microspheres tends to rise and then fall. The quality of the prepared microsphere is good at the volume ratio of 1:3.
In some examples of this embodiment, the glacial acetic acid is added in an amount of 0.25 to 0.35mL, more preferably 0.3mL. Glacial acetic acid reacts with calcium carbonate to release Ca 2+ Plays a key role in SA gel formation.

4. Results and discussion
4.1 characterization of OGG
4.1.1 Effect of NaClO usage on GG
GG has a molecular weight of about 220kDa, and the aqueous solution is mostly turbid. The existence of a large number of hydroxyl groups in GG molecular chains, and intramolecular hydrogen bond self-crosslinking is a main cause of poor GG solubility. Hydrophilic groups carboxyl and sulfhydryl are introduced on GG through chemical modification, so that the water solubility of GG is improved. The solubility of GG aqueous solutions can be reflected in transparency, the higher the transparency, indicating better solubility. TEMPO oxidation systems are capable of oxidizing the hydroxyl group at the C6 position of GG to a carboxyl group. FIG. 2 shows that GG solution gradually changed from cloudy to clear as the amount of NaClO was increased; at the same time, the oxidation degree of GG is also gradually increased. The TEMPO oxidation system can oxidize the hydroxyl group at the C6 position of GG to more than 90% by calculation of the oxidation degree. When the amount of NaClO is increased again, the oxidation degree is not changed basically. The light transmittance of the GG solution after oxidation also increases. The result shows that the introduction of carboxyl can improve the solubility of GG, because the hydrophilicity of carboxyl accelerates the infiltration process of water molecules on GG.
4.1.2FTIR
From the infrared spectrogram analysis of fig. 3a, the main absorption peaks of the products after acidification of GG, OGG and OGG are similar, which indicates that the main structures of GG, OGG and HOGG are consistent, and the TEMPO oxidation system does not destroy the main structure. The c=o absorption peak in the carboxylic acid group after GG oxidation occurs mainly at 1614cm -1 It is attributable to the asymmetric carboxylate (COO-) groups and C=O stretching vibrations of the symmetric COO-. Shift the OGG acidified c=o peak to 1734cm -1 Indicating that the-COOH is generated, the-COOH group is successfully introduced into the GG macromolecular structure, and the OGG is successfully prepared.
4.2 characterization of SOGG
4.2.1FTIR
SOGG is formed by amide bond formation between amine groups of L-cysteine hydrochloride and carboxylate groups of OGG. SOGG at 2696cm was observed from FIG. 3b -1 the-SH peak appeared at 1654cm -1 And 1541cm -1 Where amide peaks occur, c=o bonds and-N-H bonds of the amide groups, respectively. The amide reaction is proved to occur, and grafting is successful; at 1608cm -1 The presence of a carboxyl peak indicates that carboxyl and thiol coexist in SOGG.
4.2.2 1 HNMR
As shown in FIG. 4, the SOGG spectra showed distinct characteristic peaks at 3.34ppm and 2.85ppm, and the 3.35ppm peak was-COCH in cysteine derivatives, compared to the spectra of native GG and OGG 3 -part, 2.85ppm and-CH 2 The absorption sites of the SH methylene protons are similar, which indicates that the thiol units have been successfully grafted onto the sugar chains of GG, confirming successful synthesis of SOGG.
4.2.3Ellman method for measuring mercapto content
To accurately determine the degree of thiol grafting of SOGG, a standard curve of free thiol was first determined by the Ellman method. The linear regression equation for free thiol is: y= 12.857x-0.0071, r 2 =0.9993, the linear relationship between absorbance and thiol concentration was good. The free sulfhydryl group plays an adhesive role, and the disulfide bond is a crosslinking role in the preparation process of the microsphere.
The thiol content after amidation reaction is 47.67 mu mol/g at the beginning, and the thiol group content is relatively low, which may be caused by long molecular chains of OGG and low molecular mobility, and L-cys is not easily connected to the OGG main chain. The higher the sulfur group content, the stronger the adhesion of the resulting SOGG, so that the reaction conditions for synthesizing SOGG are simply optimized with the content of mercapto groups as an index. In order to increase the mercapto content, three factors which have a great influence on the amidation reaction are further screened out by literature investigation and preliminary experiments: the EDC/NHS ratio, reaction pH and L-cys addition were optimized for the three influencing factors.
4.2.3.1 mercapto graft ratio condition screening
4.2.3.1.1 Effect of different EDC/NHS ratios on thiol content
The pH=5.5 of the reaction is controlled, the feeding ratio is 1:7, the EDC/NHS ratio is changed, EDC plays a role in activating carboxyl, and NHS plays a role in fixing carboxyl. As can be seen from FIG. 5a, the mercapto content increased from 191.3. Mu. Mol/g to 332.18. Mu. Mol/g as the EDC/NHS ratio increased. When EDC/nhs=5:1, the mercapto content reached the highest. This is probably because NHS has a competitive relationship with L-cys by binding the immobilized carboxyl group to the activated carboxyl group. The experimental trial did not add NHS and the result was high thiol content without EDC/nhs=5:1. The amidation reaction is carried out when EDC/nhs=5:1 is selected according to the mercapto content.
4.2.3.1.2 Effect of different pH on thiol content
The pH of the amidation reaction was changed and the other conditions remained unchanged. As can be seen from FIG. 5b, when the reaction pH was increased from 4.0 to 6.0, the thiol content was increased and then decreased. At ph=5.5, the thiol content reached a maximum of 204.4 μmol/g, indicating that this experiment favors the amidation reaction at pH 5.5.
Effects of different feed ratios of 4.2.3.1.3 on thiol content
Different feeding ratios are the mass ratio of OGG/L-cys, the feeding amount of the L-cys is changed, and other reaction conditions are unchanged. As is clear from the results of FIG. 5c, the mercapto group content increased and then decreased with the increase in the amount of L-cys added. At a feed ratio of 1:7, the free mercapto content was up to 252.09. Mu. Mol/g, which may be related to the collision between L-cys and OGG. When the added amount of the L-cys is increased, the concentration of the solution is increased, the collision opportunity between molecules is increased, and the generated product is increased; as the amount of L-cys increases again, the progress of the reaction is inhibited, resulting in a decrease in the amount of the product produced.
In summary, the single factor reaction condition screening is performed by using the mercapto content of SOGG as an index, and finally EDC/nhs=5:1, ph=5.5 and the feed ratio of 1:7 are selected as the optimal reaction conditions. The free thiol content was calculated by the Ellman method: 332.18. Mu. Mol/g, total mercapto content: 618.128. Mu. Mol/g, 46.26% of the mercapto groups undergo autoxidation to disulfide bonds. The free sulfhydryl group has an adhesive effect and can play a role of a bridge between the LGG and intestinal mucus. Meanwhile, disulfide bonds can be formed by autoxidation, and can play a role in crosslinking in the preparation process of the microsphere.
4.3LGG microspheres
Preparation condition screening of 4.3.1LGG microspheres
Effects of 4.3.1.1SOGG concentration on the embedding Rate
From fig. 6a, it can be seen that the entrapment rate of the microspheres tends to increase and then decrease with the concentration of SOGG. When the SOGG concentration is 0.5%, the embedding rate of the microsphere is 57.67% at maximum. As SOGG concentration increases, the entrapment rate decreases. This is mainly due to the fact that as the SOGG concentration becomes greater, the viscosity of the polysaccharide solution increases, resulting in LGG not being easily uniformly dispersed in the solution. When the SOGG concentration is reduced, the particle size of the formed microsphere is small, the mechanical strength is low, and the probiotics can not be effectively embedded, so that the embedding effect is affected. When the SOGG concentration is increased from 0% to 2%, the particle size of the microsphere is gradually increased, mainly due to the increase of the viscosity of the polysaccharide solution, which is unfavorable for emulsification in the process of preparing the microsphere, and the particle size of the microsphere is increased. In summary, the optimal SOGG concentration for preparing LGG microspheres was 0.5%.
4.3.1.2SA/CaCO 3 Effect of the ratio on the embedding rate
Encapsulation effect of microspheres and SA and CaCO 3 Is closely related to the mass ratio of (c). At H + CaCO in the presence of 3 Ca is generated 2+ The Ca produced 2+ Chelating with SA to form a gel, thus SA/CaCO 3 The embedding effect of the microspheres can be influenced by the mass ratio. As can be seen from fig. 6b, the embedding rate of the microspheres increases and then decreases with increasing mass ratio. When the mass ratio is 1:1, caCO 3 At a lower concentration, with residual SA not being equal to Ca 2+ Crosslinking to form glue. At the moment, the microsphere is difficult to form, has larger particle size, is sticky, has thin microsphere wall and small mechanical strength, and therefore has poor effect of protecting probiotics in the stomach. As the mass ratio increases, ca in the reaction 2+ The embedded rate of the probiotics is gradually increased, and meanwhile, the particle size of the formed microspheres is gradually reduced, so that the probiotics are in a spherical shape, compact in structure and free of adhesion, and the protection of the probiotics can be enhanced. When the mass ratio is 1:4, the probiotics areThe embedding rate of the microbial microspheres reaches 43.38 percent at the highest. However, as the mass ratio continues to increase, ca 2+ Excess CaCO 3 Cannot be all combined with H + The reaction starts to increase the particle size of the microspheres, the spherical shape is poor, and the embedding rate starts to decrease. In summary, the best SA/CaCO for preparing LGG microspheres 3 The ratio is 1:4.
4.3.1.3 Effect of Water-oil ratio on embedding Rate
In the preparation process of the microsphere, emulsification plays a key role. The volume ratio of water to oil can influence the particle size of the microsphere and thus the quality of the microsphere. As can be seen from fig. 6c, the embedding rate of the microspheres tends to increase and decrease when the volume of the oil phase increases gradually. When the volume ratio of water to oil is 1:1, larger dispersed liquid drops are generated in the oil phase, and the prepared microspheres have large particle size, thinner microsphere walls and low mechanical strength and are easy to break, so that the embedding rate is lower. This is probably due to the relatively high content of microspheres formed due to the low content of emulsifier, which are extruded by collision with each other during stirring, making it difficult to sphere the microspheres. When the volume ratio of water to oil is 1:3, the embedding rate is 34.41% at the highest, and the microsphere is good in balling and free of adhesion. With the increase of the oil phase, the dispersion space of the microspheres is loose, so that the water phase can be fully emulsified, the particle size of the microspheres is gradually reduced, and the embedding rate of the microspheres is improved. The microsphere particle size is too small, so that probiotics are exposed outside the microsphere, and the microsphere is easy to break under the mechanical actions of stirring, centrifugation and the like, and finally the embedding rate is low. In summary, the optimal water to oil volume ratio for LGG microsphere preparation was 1:3.
Influence of the amount of glacial acetic acid 4.3.1.4 on the entrapment Rate
Glacial acetic acid reacts with calcium carbonate to release Ca 2+ Plays a key role in SA gel formation. The glacial acetic acid is too little to be used, is not beneficial to SA gel formation, and is not easy to prepare microspheres; too much use and too strong pH acidity can cause death of the probiotic. It is therefore important to screen the amount of glacial acetic acid that can be used to form the ball without causing the death of the probiotics. As shown in fig. 6d, the embedding rate tends to increase and decrease with increasing glacial acetic acid. When the addition amount of glacial acetic acid is 0.2mL, the small amount of glacial acetic acid results in residual calcium carbonate, so that the particle size of the microsphere becomes smallLarge, mechanically weak, so the embedding rate is low. When the addition amount of glacial acetic acid is 0.3mL, the embedding rate reaches a maximum of 81.56 percent, and at the moment, the microsphere particle size is uniform, the sphericity is good, and the mechanical strength is high. As the amount of glacial acetic acid increases, the embedding rate begins to decrease, i.e., the number of viable bacteria after embedding decreases, because too much glacial acetic acid that does not react with calcium carbonate decreases the pH of the overall system, causing the death of most probiotics. In summary, the optimal addition of glacial acetic acid to prepare the LGG microspheres was 0.3mL.
4.3.1.5 orthogonal test
The orthogonal experiment is carried out on the basis of the four single factor experiments, and SOGG concentration and SA/CaCO are selected 3 And (3) taking the factors with larger influence on the embedding rate of the LGG microspheres from the mass ratio, the water-oil volume ratio and the glacial acetic acid consumption as independent variables, measuring the embedding rate of the microspheres, and obtaining the optimal preparation process condition of the LGG microspheres through orthogonal experiments. Taking the embedding rate as an index, the larger the extremely difference is, the larger the influence of the factor on the embedding rate is. As can be seen from table 5, the impact of the four factors on the embedding rate was as follows: d (glacial acetic acid usage) > C (water-oil volume ratio) > A (SOGG concentration) > B (SA/CaCO) 3 Mass ratio of (c). Thus A is 1 B 1 C 2 D 2 For the best formulation, further validation is required as the formulation is not present in the orthogonal experimental list.

4.3.2LGG microsphere appearance
The wet microspheres and the freeze-dried microsphere morphology were observed by a common optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope, and the results are shown in fig. 7. As can be seen from fig. 7a, the LGG microspheres after freeze-drying were visually observed as white powder. As can be seen from the observation of the ordinary optical microscope in FIG. 7b, the LGG microsphere has a regular spherical structure with a smooth surface, and the average particle diameter is 294.46.+ -. 31.8. Mu.m.
As can be seen from the scanning electron microscope observations in fig. 7c and 7d, after the microspheres are freeze-dried, the surfaces of the spheres are wrinkled and concave, and the spheres are in a fusiform shape, which is a common phenomenon of freeze-drying. The micro-spheres are further observed in a local amplifying way, and the micro-bulge of some probiotics is obviously observed to be embedded in the spheres through red arrows, and some probiotics are adhered to the surfaces of the micro-spheres, so that few probiotics are shown to be on the surfaces of the micro-spheres.
4.3.3LGG microsphere tolerance to simulated gastrointestinal fluids
Free LGG and LGG microspheres were investigated for their viability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. As the results in fig. 8a show, after incubation of free LGG in simulated gastric fluid for 2h, the number of viable bacteria was significantly reduced, and the colony count was reduced by approximately 7 Log. After 4h incubation in simulated intestinal fluid, the colony count was reduced by nearly 0.2 Log and negligible. Numerous studies have shown that most probiotics lose their viability significantly when they enter the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Subsequently, the tolerance of the LGG microspheres in simulated gastrointestinal fluids was studied, and as shown in FIG. 8b, after the LGG microspheres were respectively subjected to incubation of 2 hours of simulated gastric fluid and 4 hours of simulated intestinal fluid, the number of the embedded LGG viable bacteria was slightly reduced by approximately 0.7 Log and 0.2 Log, and the simulated gastrointestinal fluids showed stronger tolerance. The microsphere has a certain protection effect on probiotics. Before exploring the tolerance of LGG microspheres to simulated gastrointestinal fluids, it was investigated whether the activity of the probiotics was changed before and after embedding in order to avoid the effect of the embedding process on the activity of the probiotics themselves. The growth curve of the LGG before and after embedding is obtained by drawing the growth curve of the LGG after embedding, and the growth curves of the LGG before and after embedding have no obvious difference. Indicating that the embedding process of the microspheres has little effect on the LGG activity.
4.3.4LGG microsphere is used for simulating tolerance of continuous gastrointestinal fluid
The effect of continuous gastrointestinal fluids on free LGG and LGG microspheres was further simulated, and the protective effect of microspheres on LGG is further demonstrated in fig. 9. Free LGG was almost free of viable bacteria in continuous simulated gastrointestinal fluids (P < 0.0001) compared to saline group. In contrast, LGG microsphere-embedded probiotics were incubated in gastrointestinal fluids for 6 hours continuously. The reduction in Log was only 0.5 compared to the control group. These results demonstrate that the microspheres have a very important protective effect on LGG in gastrointestinal fluids, minimizing the damage to probiotics caused by gastric acid.
4.3.5 adhesion experiments
4.3.5.1LGG adhesion to film
To examine SA/CaCO 3 The adhesion of the microsphere to the LGG is verified indirectly by preparing SA, GG, OGG and SOGG to form a composite film. The results of the adhesion experiments of LGG to four different films are shown in fig. 10. As can be seen from fig. 10a, the mechanical properties of a single SA film are inferior to the other three groups. Among them, the SA/SOGG film has the best mechanical properties, which may enhance the mechanical strength of the film with disulfide bonds formed by autoxidation of disulfide bonds in SOGG. As can be seen from fig. 10b, the SA, SA/GG, SA/OGG and SA/SOGG films all had some adhesion to LGG, wherein the SA/SOGG films had higher adhesion to LGG than the other three groups, indicating that the SOGG interaction with LGG was the strongest and the LGG adhesion was stronger. It was demonstrated that the introduction of thiol groups increased the adhesion between GG and LGG. The other three films also have adhesion to LGG, probably because hydroxyl or carboxyl groups on the polysaccharide structure form hydrogen bonds with groups on LGG. In addition, the SA/SOGG films remained relatively intact after soaking the four different films in water for the same period of time, indicating that disulfide bonds enhance the mechanical strength of the films. SOGG can play a bridge role in intestinal mucus by double adhesion with intestinal mucus and LGG, and finally LGG is adhered and planted in intestinal mucosa.
4.3.5.2 intestinal adhesion
The adhesion of the microspheres to the intestinal tract is measured by adopting an eversion intestinal capsule method, and the adhesion rate of colon mucous to SOGG/SA microspheres and GG/SA microspheres is 77.67 percent and 46.17 percent respectively. From the results, the colon showed a certain mucoadhesion to both SOGG/SA microspheres and GG/SA microspheres, mainly due to the presence of a large amount of villi on the colonic mucosa, which helps the microspheres adhere better to colonic mucosa and epithelial cells. Meanwhile, the content of goblet cells in the colon part is more, the mucin level of the colon mucosa is higher, and the adhesiveness of the microsphere in the colon part is further increased. It may be due to the formation of hydrogen or ionic bonds between hydroxyl or amino groups on the polysaccharide chain and groups on the mucus glycoprotein. The adhesion of the mouse colon mucosa to the SOGG/SA microsphere is obviously higher than that of the mouse colon mucosa to the GG/SA microsphere, and the main reason is probably that the free sulfhydryl on the surface of the SOGG/SA microsphere reacts with the sulfhydryl on the mucous glycoprotein secreted by the colon mucosa to form disulfide bonds, so that the mucosa adhesion of the microsphere is further increased.
4.3.6 in vivo safety evaluation
As shown in fig. 11, healthy mice maintained stable body weight for normal growth after continuous gastric lavage of LGG microspheres for 7 d. There was little difference in mental state and activity state of the mice in the experimental group compared to the blank group.
Mice were then sacrificed and their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, kidneys were collected for HE staining pathology. As shown in fig. 12, the visceral tissue structure of mice after the LGG microsphere gastric lavage was not significantly different from that of mice in the group without gastric lavage, and no obvious inflammatory reaction phenomenon was detected in each tissue. The above results indicate that LGG microspheres have negligible in vivo toxicity, which is advantageous for LGG microspheres for in vivo applications.

3. Results and discussion
3.1 general observations of mice
The 3% DSS was freely introduced over 7 days to induce colitis in mice. The mice of each group were observed for signs changes during the course of the experiment, and the following results were obtained for each group:
(1) Normal group (Control group): 1 mouse lost weight more rapidly, probably due to esophageal damage during gastric lavage. The other 11 mice have normal diet, drinking water, feces color and shape, smooth hair and active spirit.
(2) Model group (DSS group): in the whole experiment process, 12 mice are not dead, and the mice have different degrees of binding aggregation and rough hair and slight diarrhea after being subjected to experiments for 3-4 days; the mice have reduced drinking water and diet after 5-7 days of the experiment, 20% of mice begin to have symptoms of listlessness, inflexible reaction, vertical hair, dorsum of arch, loose stool and the like; with the increase of the experimental time, diarrhea of the mice is aggravated, blood stains are visible at the anus, and the symptoms are aggravated. When 80% of mice in the DSS group have naked eye hematochezia, the next experiment can be carried out.
(3) Free LGG group (dss+lgg group): the mice were normal for each sign 1-5 days from the start of the experiment. On days 5-7, there was a slight anorexia and lazy, 30% of the faeces were slightly diluted, but no large area diarrhea occurred, and no hematochezia occurred. The mental state and the state of the mice are better than those of the normal group.
(4) LGG Microsphere group (dss+microsphere group): mice did not die during the experiment, there was no obvious difference between the experiment 1-6 days and the normal group, 10% of the mouse feces on the 6 th day were slightly diluted, but no large-area diarrhea occurred, and no hematochezia occurred. The mental state and condition of the mice were superior to those of the normal group and the free LGG group.
3.2 weight changes in mice
To investigate the effect of free LGG and embedded LGG microspheres on mice on the mice with colitis, changes in body weight of each group of mice were recorded daily during the experiment. Results as shown in fig. 13, the body weight of the mice in the blank group showed a gradual increase trend, and the DSS group, the dss+lgg group, and the dss+lgg microsphere group showed a decrease trend. DSS group mice showed a significant decrease in body weight from day 5d, with differences statistically significant (P < 0.001). The body weight of mice in the dss+lgg group and those in the dss+lgg microsphere group decreased relatively slowly, and at the same time, the LGG microsphere group had a relatively good therapeutic effect, the number of loose stool was reduced, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The results show that the LGG microsphere has a certain therapeutic effect on colon inflammatory mice.
3.3 DAI evaluation in mice
During the experiment, the weight reduction percentage, stool characters and occult blood examination results of each group of mice are recorded every day, and DAI scoring evaluation is carried out. As shown in fig. 14, DSS group mice DAI increased continuously with the time of the experiment. The mice in the DSS group of the 5d part can visually see the symptoms of loose stool, hematochezia, listlessness and the like; the rise in mouse DAI was significantly improved from day 5d compared to dss+lgg, dss+microsphere groups. The results show that both the LGG and the LGG microspheres can effectively reduce the DAI score of the colonitis mice, wherein the embedded probiotics have better effect, which indicates that the LGG microspheres have better curative effect on colonitis than the free LGG.
3.4 evaluation of colon Length and pathological injury
As shown in fig. 15a, the colon length of DSS group was significantly shortened, while the colon length of mice treated with LGG and LGG microspheres was significantly lengthened, indicating that both had a certain efficacy in the treatment of colitis. At the same time, there was a significant difference in colon length between the dss+lgg group and the dss+lgg microsphere group. As shown in FIG. 15b, after H & E staining, the colon status of the mice in the blank group was good, and the mice contained a large number of goblet cells, and the intestinal epithelium and crypt structures were complete and ordered, and no inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. The colon of the DSS group mice is necrotic and erosive with a large amount of mucosal epithelial cells, the mucous layer and the lower layer can be infiltrated with a large amount of inflammatory cells, the number of goblet cells is obviously reduced and almost no goblet cells are damaged, and the colon tissue damage score of the DSS group is obviously higher than that of the blank group; LGG and LGG microspheres are used for prognosis, so that the ulcer and erosion of the colonic mucosa are obviously reduced or eliminated, the arrangement of goblet cells is restored to be normal, and the pathological score of colon is obviously reduced. In addition, the LGG microsphere group significantly improved colonic mucosal lesions compared to the histological scores of the LGG group, and the above results all demonstrate that the LGG microsphere has better therapeutic effect on colitis than non-embedded LGG.
3.5 spleen changes in mice
As can be seen from fig. 16, the increase in spleen factor was evident in the DSS group, and the spleen factor decreased with both free LGG and LGG microsphere treatment. The free probiotics and the embedded probiotics have certain therapeutic effects on enteritis. The mice treated by the LGG microsphere have almost no obvious difference from blank groups, which shows that the LGG microsphere can relieve the spleen factor enlargement caused by DSS induction and has a certain treatment effect on the enteritis.
3.6 detection of myeloperoxidase in colon tissue
As can be seen from fig. 17, the colon tissue MPO enzyme activity was significantly higher in DSS group mice than in normal group. The intervention of the LGG and the LGG microsphere treatment shows that the mice have no significant difference from the normal group, and the mice have certain therapeutic effect on the enteritis. However, the LGG microsphere group has significant difference (P is less than 0.05) from the LGG group, and the LGG microsphere group has good curative effect on enteritis.
3.7 colon immunohistochemical analysis of mice
As shown in fig. 18, the yellow-brown color is positive protein, and the content of IL-10 is significantly reduced when induced by DSS stimulation compared with the blank group, which indicates that the colon of the DSS group mice contains a large amount of neutrophil infiltration, and the inflammation is serious. Both LGG and LGG microspheres significantly up-regulate the reduced levels of colonic IL-10 upon DSS stimulation after treatment. It can be seen that LGG and LGG microspheres can alleviate colonic inflammation by up-regulating IL-10 content, with LGG microsphere sets having the most pronounced up-regulating effect.
As can be seen from FIG. 18, the IL-6 and TNF- α content in the colon of the mice was lower in the colon of the control mice, and the IL-6 and TNF- α content increased significantly when stimulated with DSS. The increased levels of IL-6 and TNF- α were secreted by DSS stimulation when treated with both LGG and LGG microspheres were down-regulated to varying degrees and were significantly different compared to the DSS group. As can be seen from fig. 18, both LGG and LGG microspheres reduced intestinal inflammation by down-regulating IL-6 and TNF- α content, and the improvement effect of LGG microsphere set was most remarkable.
