Description

Anti-inflammatory active polypeptide and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to an anti-inflammatory active polypeptide or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and application thereof.
Background
Inflammation is a complex pathological process that results from the body being subjected to a certain stimulus. Inflammation is often beneficial, being an automatic defensive response of the human body. However, when the body's immune balance is broken, uncontrolled inflammation can lead to increased body temperature, redness, swelling, pain and dysfunction. Mediators involved in inflammatory reactions such as NO, cytokines, PEG2, etc. are released in large amounts, thereby affecting the occurrence and development of the disease. In recent years, inhibition of synthesis or activity of inflammatory mediators has become a major direction for the treatment of inflammation. Although the existing clinical medicines can treat various inflammations, side effects with different degrees exist. Therefore, finding anti-inflammatory drugs with good safety is an important point in the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Bioactive peptides are a special class of protein fragments that can positively affect the function and status of the human body. A large number of researches show that the bioactive peptide has the functions of resisting oxidation, inhibiting bacteria, resisting inflammation, resisting tumor, resisting virus, reducing blood sugar and the like. Compared with chemical synthesis medicines, the bioactive peptide has the advantages of wide sources, simple preparation process and higher safety. Thus, bioactive peptides with good safety and high anti-inflammatory performance are still to be developed.

Mu.g/mL, 100. Mu.g/mL, 200. Mu.g/mL, 400. Mu.g/mL, 800. Mu.g/mL, 1000. Mu.g/mL of polypeptide dilution.
Polypeptide intervention and cell viability detection: the 96-well plate was removed, old medium was aspirated, and 100. Mu.L of polypeptide dilutions of different concentrations (3 wells per polypeptide dilution concentration) were added, respectively, for incubation for 24 hours. Subsequently, 20. Mu.L of 5mg/mL MTT solution was added to each well and incubation was continued for 4 hours, and absorbance was measured at 490 nm. Taking a complete culture medium without adding polypeptide solution as a blank control, and calculating the cell survival rate according to the formula (1):
wherein: a1 is the absorbance value of the sample group and A2 is the absorbance value of the blank group.
The results are shown in FIG. 3. When the polypeptide solution concentration is 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1000 mug/mL, the survival rate of RAW264.7 macrophages is 101.96%, 96.99%, 93.91%, 94.90%, 92.87% and 93.64%, respectively, and the polypeptide has no significant effect on the survival rate of RAW264.7 macrophages (P < 0.05).
The experimental results show that the polypeptide has low toxicity and good safety.
Example 3: effect of different concentrations of polypeptide on LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage NO production
Cell counting of RAW264.7 macrophages in logarithmic growth phase was performed according to 1X 10 4 The wells were inoculated into 96-well plates, a 37℃incubator (5% CO) 2 ) Culturing until the cells adhere to the wall. The polypeptide solution was diluted with complete medium, and after adding 100. Mu.L of the above dilution to each well for incubation for 8 hours, 2. Mu.g/mL of LPS solution was added thereto for incubation for 24 hours. The amount of NO released was determined using a kit (bi yun tian corporation), i.e. 50 μl of supernatant was mixed with 50 μl of Griess reagent i, griess reagent ii, OD values were detected at 540nm, and the sample NO concentration was calculated according to a standard curve.
The experimental results are shown in FIG. 4.
(1) Compared with a blank group, the release rate of the cell NO in the control group induced by LPS reaches 255.22%, which shows that the LPS can obviously promote the generation of inflammatory mediator NO, and the modeling of a cell inflammation model is successful.
(2) Compared with a control group, the sample group added with the polypeptide solution has remarkably reduced cell NO release rate (P < 0.05) and dose dependency in the range of 100-1000 mug/mL. The sample group had a cell NO release rate of 158.55% when the concentration of the polypeptide solution was 1000. Mu.g/mL.
The experimental result shows that the polypeptide can inhibit the NO secretion of RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS and has stronger anti-inflammatory effect.
