Example 3 determination of secondary Structure and biological Activity of antibacterial peptide KK-I
1. Determination of secondary structure of antibacterial peptide
The secondary structure of the antibacterial peptide was determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), respectively.
Structures in three different solution environments simulated (aqueous environment, cell membrane environment of prokaryotic cells and hydrophobic environment of biological membranes). The polypeptides were dissolved in 10mM PBS buffer, 30mM Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and 50% Trifluoroethanol (TFE), respectively, at ph=7.4, to prepare a peptide solution at a final concentration of 150 μm for use. The prepared polypeptide solution is added into a cuvette (optical path: 1 mm), a circular dichroism spectrometer is used for scanning in a wavelength range of 190 nm-250 nm at room temperature, the ellipticity (resolution is 0.5nm, bandwidth is 1.0nm, scanning speed is 10nm per minute, optical path of a quartz sample cell is 0.1 cm) of the polypeptide is measured, and the method is repeated for three times and finally average value is obtained. The average ellipticity is converted and calculated as follows:
wherein θ is M : average residue ellipticity (deg.m2.dmol-1), θ obs : actually measured ellipticity (mdeg), c: peptide sample concentration (mM), l: optical path length (mm), n: number of amino acids of the peptide.
The calculation formula of the alpha-helix ratio is as follows:
wherein θ is 222 Is the average residue ellipticity of the peptide sample at 222 nm; θ 100 Is the average residue ellipticity at 222nm for the peptide sample at 100% helicity; θ 0 Is the average ellipticity of the peptide sample at 222nm without the helix. The results are shown in FIG. 4 and Table 2.
TABLE 2 helicity of peptides in three different solution environments
Both the template peptide and 12 target peptides exhibited random coil structures under PBS conditions. Under SDS conditions, peptides KK-F, KK-W, KR-L, KR-F, KR-V and KR-I showed no significant negative absorbance peaks at 222nm, so these 6 peptides were randomly coiled. The other 6 short peptides showed positive absorption peaks at 195nm and 198nm and negative absorption peaks at 205nm and 222nm, so that the 6 peptides all have alpha-helical structures in the simulated negatively charged prokaryotic cell environment. Under TFE conditions, the absorption peaks of the alpha-helix structure characteristics appear in the 12 designed peptides, which indicates that the 12 peptides are of the alpha-helix structure in the simulated hydrophobic environment and meet the design requirements of the helical wheel structure.
2. Determination of antibacterial Activity
Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC): the antibacterial activity is measured by micro double dilution method, firstly, the frozen bacteria are streaked, single colony is selected, purified and inoculated in MHB culture medium, placed in a shaking table (168 rpm,37 ℃) and incubated to logarithmic phase, and the concentration of bacterial liquid is regulated to about 1 multiplied by 10 5 CFU/mL. Then, 90 μLBSA solution was added to column 1 of the 96-well plate, 50 μLBSA solution was added to each of the remaining 7 columns, and 10 μL of peptide stock solution (2.56 mM) was added to column 1 of the wells, and the mixture was stirred uniformly by a pipette tip. Adding 50 mu L of the mixed solution in the 1 st row into the 2 nd row of holes, uniformly mixing the mixed solution in the 2 nd row of holes, absorbing 50 mu L, adding the mixed solution into the 3 rd row of holes, and the like until the mixed solution is added into the 10 th row of holes, uniformly mixing, absorbing 50 mu L, and discarding the mixed solution into a waste liquid bottle. Then, 50. Mu.L of the logarithmic growth phase bacterial liquid was added to the wells 1 to 11, 50. Mu.LMHB was added to the well 12, and the 96-well plate 1-12 columns of the liquid was stirred and mixed well. At this time, the concentrations of the antimicrobial peptides were sequentially diluted to 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and from column 1 to column 10,1. 0.5, 0.25. Mu.M. Column 11 with bacterial liquid and no antibacterial peptide as positive control group; column 12 was negative control with no added bacteria and antimicrobial peptide. Each peptide sample test was repeated at least 3-4 times. Note that the positive control group, if kept clear, was not contaminated with bacteria throughout the test run, column 12 wells; if turbid, the bacteria are polluted, and the operation steps should be carried out again. The minimum inhibitory concentration value of the antibacterial peptide for the test bacteria is the concentration value corresponding to the critical hole without turbidity or precipitation visible to the naked eye in the hole (column 1-column 10).
Determination of Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC): after completion of MIC determination, 10 μl of the sample was taken from the non-macroscopic culture medium turbid well, and after incubation at 37 ℃ for 18h, colony counting was performed. The minimum peptide concentration to kill 99.9% of the bacteria is the minimum bactericidal concentration of the peptide. The above experiment was independently repeated three times. The results are shown in Table 3 and Table 4.
TABLE 3 MIC (MBC) value (μM) of short peptides for gram-negative bacteria
TABLE 4 MIC (MBC) value (μM) of short peptides for gram-positive bacteria
The antibacterial activity of the short peptide KR-12 on gram-negative bacteria is stronger than that on gram-positive bacteria. The 12 target Tai designed by replacing the cationic amino acid and the hydrophobic amino acid show stronger antibacterial activity to gram-negative bacteria and positive bacteria than the template peptide, and the MBC value measured by the 12 designed peptides is 1-4 times of the MIC value. The proper increase of the hydrophobicity and charge number of the short peptide is illustrated to improve the bactericidal performance and the antibacterial broad spectrum of the short peptide.
3. Determination of hemolytic Activity
1-2 mL of healthy human blood is taken and stored in a heparin sodium tube, 1000g of the blood is centrifuged for 10min at the temperature of 4 ℃, and the supernatant is discarded to collect red blood cells.After continuing to wash 3 times with PBS, the suspension was resuspended for further use. Mixing antibacterial peptide solution with equal volume of red blood cells after dilution in 96-well cell plate, culturing at 37deg.C for 4 hr, centrifuging in 96-well plate centrifuge (1000 g,15 min), transferring supernatant into new 96-well plate, and measuring OD with enzyme-labeled instrument 570nm The absorbance was measured. The negative control was untreated blood cells, the positive control was 0.1% triton X-100 treated blood cells, and the Minimum Hemolysis Concentration (MHC) was defined as the minimum polypeptide concentration corresponding to 10% hemolytic activity.
TABLE 5 MHC, GM (μM) and TI values of short peptides
Note that: a: the concentration of the peptide causing 10% hemolysis was the minimum hemolysis concentration, calculated as 256 μm when the hemolysis concentration was > 128 μm; b: geometric mean of MIC values of peptides, calculated with 128 μm when > 64 μm; c: ti=mhc/GM, a larger Therapeutic Index (TI) indicates a stronger cell selectivity.
The GM values of the 12 designed peptides are smaller than those of the short peptide KR-12, which shows that the antibacterial activity of the short peptide containing 6 positive charges is obviously better than that of the short peptide containing 4 positive charges, and the antibacterial capability of the short peptide is improved to different degrees due to the imperfect amphipathic structure. The peptide KK-I has the smallest GM (gm=6.25) and the largest therapeutic index TI (ti=40.99), the larger the therapeutic index the more cell selective. Therefore, the peptide KK-I with strong antibacterial activity is screened out and used as the short peptide with clinical application potential to conduct deep antibacterial mechanism research.
4. Stability study of antibacterial peptides
(1) Salt ion stability
Preparing salt ion solution with BSA diluent according to different concentrations, wherein the salt ion concentration is 150mM NaCl,4.5mM KCl,1mM MgCl respectively 2 ,6μM NH 4 Cl,8mM ZnCl 2 ,4mM FeCl 3 And 2.5mM CaCl 2 The blank is antimicrobial peptide which is not treated by salt ions, so that the stability of the antimicrobial peptide under different salt ion concentrations is detected. The results are shown in Table 6 and Table 7.
TABLE 6 MIC values (μM) of short peptide pairs E.coilATCC25922 under salt ion treatment
TABLE 7 MIC value of short peptide pair S.aureus ATCC29213 (μM) under salt ion treatment
(2) Serum stability

The blank is a peptide that has not been subjected to serum treatment, whereby the stability of the antimicrobial peptide was tested at different serum concentrations. The results are shown in tables 8 and 9.
TABLE 8 MIC values (μM) of peptides for E.coilATCC25922 in serum Environment
TABLE 9 MIC values (μM) of peptides for S.aureus ATCC29213 in serum Environment
(3) Enzyme stability
To determine the stability of the antimicrobial peptides under enzyme treatment, enzyme-antimicrobial peptide reaction solutions of trypsin, pepsin, papain and proteinase K were prepared at a final concentration of 1mg/mL, and after 1h of action, the test was performed according to the method for determining the stability of salt ions and serum, and the blank control was the antimicrobial peptides without protease treatment. The stability of the antibacterial peptide under different enzyme treatments is detected. The results are shown in Table 10.
TABLE 10 minimum inhibitory concentration of peptides under different enzyme treatments
The results show that 12 target peptides still have good antibacterial activity in physiological concentration salt ions and high concentration serum environments, and the results show that the peptides have higher salt ion and serum stability. In addition, the antibacterial activity can be basically maintained under different enzyme treatment conditions. The antibacterial property of the peptide KK-I to E.coli ATCC25922 and S.aureus ATCC29213 under the treatment of the salt ion solution is more stable than other designed peptides, and the peptide KK-I has better stability of salt ion resistance and has a certain clinical application potential.

(5) observation: and observing the change condition of the surface of the bacteria by using a field scanning electron microscope (transmission electron microscope). The results are shown in FIG. 6.
The results are shown in FIG. 6. Blank (SEM: A, C; TEM: B, D): the escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus are complete and full in state and smooth in surface; the cell is full and complete in structure. When treated with 1×mic target peptides, holes appeared on both negative and positive bacterial surfaces; as the treatment time is increased, holes on the surfaces of the two bacteria deepen, the folds are uneven, the escherichia coli has signs of fracture, and staphylococcus aureus is spherically broken; eventually, neither bacteria are intact, and cell disruption and disruption occurs.
Example 5 in vivo biological Activity assay of antibacterial peptides
1. Mouse in vivo compatibility test
The test animals were 40 female ICR mice (24.09.+ -. 2.648g in weight) of 6 weeks old purchased from Liaoning long Biotechnology Co., ltd. And (5) carrying out adaptive feeding for one week, and feeding with standard feed. Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10, each, and the test groups are shown in table 11. The mice were given intraperitoneal injections of 10mg/kg, 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg of polypeptide solution, each for 12h at intervals of 3d. The control group was treated with physiological saline alone. The viability and status of the animals were observed continuously during this period. After 3d, all mice were subjected to eyeball blood collection, followed by centrifugation for 10min at 1000g, and serum was analyzed for glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) content using the kit. The results are shown in FIG. 7.
TABLE 11 in vivo mouse compatibility experiments
As shown in FIG. 7, the enzyme levels of the treated group were not significantly different from the control group (P > 0.05) at peptide doses of 10mg/kg, and alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) were significantly increased (P < 0.01) at peptide doses increased to 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg as compared to the control group. With the increase of the dosage of the short peptide, the four enzyme levels are reduced and finally tend to be stable, which indicates that the peptide KK-I has stress response in mice in a short period, but does not cause hepatorenal toxicity, and has higher biocompatibility in vivo. The results show that the peptide KK-I has better stability and safety in mice and has wide clinical application prospect.
2. Mouse peritonitis experiment
The test 32 female ICR mice (body weight: 24.88.+ -. 1.43 g) were purchased from Liaoning long biotechnology Co., ltd. 8 mice per treatment group. After one week of the adaptive breeding, the seeds are fed,
the mice were intraperitoneally injected with physiological saline alone in the healthy group and 100. Mu.L of 1.5X10 s in the control group 8 CFU/mL e.collatcc 25922 was subjected to peritonitis infection. After infection for 0.5h, 2h and 6h, intraperitoneal injection of the mice with physiological saline, 10mg/kg of the target peptide and 5mg/kg of gentamicin was continued, respectively. Mice were observed for their active state after intraperitoneal injection and continued to survive after 24 h. All surviving mice were then treated and the peritoneal fluid was collected from the mice by intraperitoneal injection of 5mL of sterile saline solution, asSpleen and liver were also collected at this time for colony count analysis. The experimental groups are shown in table 12.
Table 12 mouse peritonitis experiment
FIG. 8 shows that the colony count of each tissue of the peptide KK-I treated group was extremely significantly reduced (P < 0.0001) compared to the control group, and that the colony count of the gentamicin group was significantly reduced compared to the peptide treated group. The colony count of the abdominal cavity is extremely remarkably reduced by about 4-Log (P < 0.0001). The colony numbers of the liver, spleen, lung and kidney are respectively reduced by 2-Log (P is less than 0.0001), which proves that the activity of the peptide KK-I in the mouse is stable and a certain killing capacity is reserved, thereby improving the survival rate of the mouse.
The results of the expression levels of each inflammatory factor in the serum of mice in the different treatment groups are shown in FIG. 9. The levels of proinflammatory factors IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha expressed in serum of mice from the pathogenic infected group were higher compared to the healthy group (normal saline). By establishing a mouse peritonitis model, after the peptide KK-I is injected into the abdominal cavity of a mouse, the IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels in the mice in the group of injection peptide KK-I are found to be obviously lower than those in the mice in the pathogenic group (P is less than 0.01), which indicates that the target peptide KK-I has a certain relieving effect on the peritonitis of the mouse.
