技术领域technical field
本发明涉及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶,具体为一种提高乳酸菌谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶酶活的方法。The invention relates to glutathione peroxidase, in particular to a method for improving the enzymatic activity of lactic acid bacteria glutathione peroxidase.
背景技术Background technique
谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(Glutathione peroxidase,GSH-Px),是生物体内一种重要的含硒过氧化物分解酶。GSH-Px的活性中心是硒代半胱氨酸,主要作用是与维生素等协同作用,保护细胞免受过氧化物的损伤、清除体内有害的自由基,是细胞内抗过氧化物作用的酶促保护系统重要组成成分。GSH-Px能催化还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)变为氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG),使有毒的过氧化物还原成无毒的羟基化合物,同时促进H2O2的分解,从而保护细胞膜的结构及功能不受过氧化物的干扰及损害。GSH-Px主要包括4种:分别为胞浆GSH-Px、血浆GSH-Px、磷脂氢过氧化物GSH-Px及胃肠道专属性GSH-Px。Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is an important selenium-containing peroxidase in vivo. The active center of GSH-Px is selenocysteine, and its main function is to synergize with vitamins to protect cells from peroxide damage and remove harmful free radicals in the body. An important component of the protective system. GSH-Px can catalyze reduced glutathione (GSH) into oxidized glutathione (GSSG), reduce toxic peroxides to non - toxic hydroxyl compounds , and promote the decomposition of H2O2, thereby Protects the structure and function of cell membranes from interference and damage by peroxides. GSH-Px mainly includes four kinds: cytoplasmic GSH-Px, plasma GSH-Px, phospholipid hydroperoxide GSH-Px and gastrointestinal specific GSH-Px.
但是,目前现有的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的酶活普遍较低,因此,提高谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性具有重要意义。However, the enzymatic activity of the existing glutathione peroxidase is generally low, therefore, it is of great significance to improve the activity of glutathione peroxidase.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
针对现有技术中存在的问题,本发明提供一种提高乳酸菌谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶酶活的方法。该方法简单易行、效果显著,解决了现有的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的酶活普遍较低的问题。In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for improving the enzyme activity of lactic acid bacteria glutathione peroxidase. The method is simple and easy to implement and has remarkable effect, and solves the problem that the enzyme activity of the existing glutathione peroxidase is generally low.
本发明是通过以下技术方案来实现:The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
一种提高乳酸菌谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶酶活的方法,包括以下步骤:A method for improving the enzymatic activity of lactic acid bacteria glutathione peroxidase, comprising the following steps:
步骤1,对乳酸菌进行活化培养,得到乳酸菌菌液;
步骤2,将乳酸菌菌液接种至含亚硒酸钠的液体培养基中,在37℃恒温静置培养。
优选的,步骤2中,含亚硒酸钠的液体培养基中亚硒酸钠的浓度为20-160μg/mL。Preferably, in
优选的,步骤2中,液体培养基中还含有NaCl。Preferably, in
进一步的,液体培养基中NaCl的质量浓度为0.4%-0.9%。Further, the mass concentration of NaCl in the liquid medium is 0.4%-0.9%.
优选的,步骤2中,先将乳酸菌菌液接种于MRS液体培养基,于37℃恒温培养至对数期后,进行热胁迫处理,然后再向MRS液体培养基中加入亚硒酸钠溶液,在37℃恒温静置培养。Preferably, in
进一步的,热胁迫处理的温度为45-55℃。Further, the temperature of the heat stress treatment is 45-55°C.
优选的,步骤1具体为:将经高温高压灭菌后的MRS肉汤培养基注入乳酸菌冻干管中,用移液枪吹打,使乳酸菌充分溶解成菌悬液;将菌悬液在菌种规定条件下培养,活化成功后,将菌株接种到MRS肉汤培养基中,在恒温培养箱中静置37℃下培养,连续活化三代。Preferably,
与现有技术相比,本发明具有以下有益的技术效果:Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
本发明使用亚硒酸钠对乳酸菌进行富硒培养,测定谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶酶活,通过研究发现,乳酸菌在经过富硒培养后,乳酸菌中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶酶活得到提高,其中部分菌株鼠李糖乳杆菌、罗伊氏乳杆菌和嗜酸乳杆菌的GSH-Px活性有显著提高。这可能是因为Se是GSH-Px的催化位点中的硒代半胱氨酸合成的必要元素,硒元素的增补可使硒代半胱氨酸的表达量增加,从而增强了GSH-Px酶活性。In the present invention, sodium selenite is used for selenium-enriched cultivation of lactic acid bacteria, and the enzyme activity of glutathione peroxidase is measured. It is found through research that after selenium-enriched cultivation of lactic acid bacteria, the enzymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase in lactic acid bacteria can be obtained. The GSH-Px activity of some strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus acidophilus was significantly improved. This may be because Se is an essential element for the synthesis of selenocysteine in the catalytic site of GSH-Px, and the supplementation of selenium can increase the expression of selenocysteine, thereby enhancing the GSH-Px enzyme active.
进一步的,通过盐胁迫配合富硒培养,进一步的提高了乳酸菌中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶酶活,可能是因为一定量的盐浓度可以促进乳酸菌富硒。Further, the glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity in lactic acid bacteria was further improved by salt stress combined with selenium-enriched culture, probably because a certain amount of salt concentration can promote selenium enrichment of lactic acid bacteria.
进一步的,通过热胁迫富硒培养,进一步的提高了乳酸菌胞内GSH-Px活性,热胁迫可能使乳酸菌诱导产生热休克蛋白,使得部分酶活力增加。Furthermore, the selenium-enriched culture under heat stress further improved the intracellular GSH-Px activity of lactic acid bacteria. Heat stress may induce lactic acid bacteria to produce heat shock proteins, which increases the activity of some enzymes.

Incubate at 37°C for 24-48h, and activate continuously for three generations.
步骤2,乳酸菌富硒培养

对实施例1-7进行酶活测定,干酪乳杆菌(LC)、鼠李糖乳杆菌(LCR)、保加利亚乳杆菌(LB)、植物乳杆菌(LP)、嗜热链球菌(ST)、罗伊氏乳杆菌(LR)和嗜酸乳杆菌(LA)空白组的无细胞提取物的酶活力分别为8.049U/mg、8.808U/mg、6.554U/mg、7.233U/mg、8.622U/mg、7.579U/mg、8.206U/mg,加硒组的酶活力分别为8.145U/mg、10.034U/mg、7.494U/mg、7.667U/mg、8.694U/mg、10.217U/mg、9.931U/mg。七株乳酸菌富硒培养后的GSH-Px活性都有提高,其中鼠李糖乳杆菌、罗伊氏乳杆菌和嗜酸乳杆菌提高显著。可见,富硒培养可以提高乳酸菌的GSH-Px活性,这可能是因为Se是GSH-Px的催化位点中的硒代半胱氨酸合成的必要元素,硒元素的增补可使硒代半胱氨酸的表达量增加,从而增强了GSH-Px酶活性。Enzyme activity was measured for Examples 1-7, Lactobacillus casei (LC), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LCR), Lactobacillus bulgaricus (LB), Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), Streptococcus thermophilus (ST), Luo The enzymatic activities of the cell-free extracts of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LR) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) blank groups were 8.049U/mg, 8.808U/mg, 6.554U/mg, 7.233U/mg, 8.622U/mg, respectively. mg, 7.579U/mg, 8.206U/mg, and the enzyme activities in the selenium-added group were 8.145U/mg, 10.034U/mg, 7.494U/mg, 7.667U/mg, 8.694U/mg, 10.217U/mg, 9.931U/mg. The GSH-Px activity of seven lactobacillus strains was increased after selenium enrichment, among which Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus acidophilus increased significantly. It can be seen that selenium-enriched culture can improve the GSH-Px activity of lactic acid bacteria, which may be because Se is an essential element for the synthesis of selenocysteine in the catalytic site of GSH-Px, and the supplementation of selenium element can make selenocysteine The expression of amino acid increased, thereby enhancing the GSH-Px enzyme activity.

When the concentration of sodium selenite was increased to 80 μg/mL, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
对实施例2和15-21的酶活进行测定,由图3可知对于嗜酸乳杆菌,当亚硒酸钠浓度为20μg/mL、40μg/mL、60μg/mL、80μg/mL、100μg/mL、120μg/mL、140μg/mL、160μg/mL时,GSH-Px活性分别为9.930U/mg、12.177U/mg、12.811U/mg、14.137U/mg、14.999U/mg、14.519U/mg、13.368U/mg、12.058U/mg。随着亚硒酸钠浓度的增加,GSH-Px活性呈现先升高后降低的趋势,亚硒酸钠浓度提高到100μg/mL时,GSH-Px活性最高。The enzymatic activities of Examples 2 and 15-21 were measured, and it can be seen from Figure 3 that for Lactobacillus acidophilus, when the sodium selenite concentration was 20 μg/mL, 40 μg/mL, 60 μg/mL, 80 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL , 120μg/mL, 140μg/mL, 160μg/mL, the GSH-Px activities were 9.930U/mg, 12.177U/mg, 12.811U/mg, 14.137U/mg, 14.999U/mg, 14.519U/mg, 13.368U/mg, 12.058U/mg. With the increase of sodium selenite concentration, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased. When the concentration of sodium selenite increased to 100 μg/mL, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
对实施例3和22-28的酶活进行测定,由图4可知对于罗伊氏乳杆菌,当亚硒酸钠浓度为20μg/mL、40μg/mL、60μg/mL、80μg/mL、100μg/mL、120μg/mL、140μg/mL、160μg/mL时,GSH-Px活性分别为10.217U/mg、10.714U/mg、13.061U/mg、13.554U/mg、15.905U/mg、15.768U/mg、13.465U/mg、11.413U/mg。随着浓度的增加,GSH-Px活性呈现先升高后降低的趋势,亚硒酸钠浓度提高到100μg/mL时,GSH-Px活性最高。The enzymatic activities of Examples 3 and 22-28 were measured, and it can be seen from Figure 4 that for Lactobacillus reuteri, when the concentration of sodium selenite was 20 μg/mL, 40 μg/mL, 60 μg/mL, 80 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL mL, 120μg/mL, 140μg/mL and 160μg/mL, the GSH-Px activities were 10.217U/mg, 10.714U/mg, 13.061U/mg, 13.554U/mg, 15.905U/mg, 15.768U/mg, respectively , 13.465U/mg, 11.413U/mg. With the increase of concentration, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased. When the concentration of sodium selenite increased to 100 μg/mL, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
由此推断,对于含硒乳酸菌,硒的添加量与GSH-Px活性具有一定的关联,即在一定范围内乳酸菌的GSH-Px活性随着Se添加浓度的增加而增加,当亚硒酸钠的浓度升高到一定程度时,GSH-Px活性有略微降低。可能是由于亚硒酸钠的增加逐渐促进硒代半胱氨酸的增加,当亚硒酸钠浓度过高时,抑制硒代半胱氨酸的合成,从而不会使GSH-Px活性持续增加。It is inferred that for selenium-containing lactic acid bacteria, the addition of selenium has a certain relationship with the GSH-Px activity, that is, the GSH-Px activity of lactic acid bacteria increases with the increase of Se addition concentration within a certain range, and when the sodium selenite increases When the concentration increased to a certain extent, the activity of GSH-Px decreased slightly. It may be that the increase of sodium selenite gradually promotes the increase of selenocysteine. When the concentration of sodium selenite is too high, the synthesis of selenocysteine is inhibited, so that the GSH-Px activity will not increase continuously. .

With the increase of salt concentration, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased significantly. When the salt concentration increased to 7%, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
对实施例30进行酶活测定,由图6可知对于嗜酸乳杆菌,当盐浓度为0.4%、0.5%、0.6%、0.7%、0.8%及0.9%时,GSH-Px活性分别为10.628U/mg、11.429U/mg、14.836U/mg、13.298U/mg、11.589U/mg、10.392U/mg。随着盐浓度的增加,GSH-Px活性呈现先升高后逐渐降低的趋势,当盐浓度提高到6%时,GSH-Px活性最高。The enzyme activity measurement of Example 30 was carried out.

With the increase of salt concentration, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased gradually. When the salt concentration increased to 6%, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
对实施例31进行酶活测定,由图7可知对于罗伊氏乳杆菌,当盐浓度为0.4%、0.5%、0.6%、0.7%、0.8%及0.9%时,GSH-Px活性分别为10.782U/mg、11.998U/mg、13.519U/mg、13.007U/mg、12.426U/mg、11.160U/mg。随着盐浓度的增加,GSH-Px活性呈先升高后缓慢降低的趋势,当盐浓度提高到6%时,GSH-Px活性最高。The enzymatic activity of Example 31 was measured, and it can be seen from Figure 7 that for Lactobacillus reuteri, when the salt concentration was 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8% and 0.9%, the GSH-Px activity was 10.782, respectively U/mg, 11.998U/mg, 13.519U/mg, 13.007U/mg, 12.426U/mg, 11.160U/mg. With the increase of salt concentration, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased slowly. When the salt concentration increased to 6%, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
盐胁迫乳酸菌富硒是通过改变其渗透压来实现的。当渗透压升高时,乳酸菌维持细胞正常的渗透压是通过吸收相容性物质实现的;当细胞外渗透压降低时,乳酸菌通过释放已吸收的相容性物质来使渗透压保持在正常水平,但不同的乳酸菌在吸收相容性物质时的方式和机制是不一样的。本发明研究表明,一定量的盐浓度可以促进乳酸菌富硒,导致硒代半胱氨酸的合成增加,从而使乳酸菌GSH-Px活性提高。The enrichment of selenium in salt-stressed lactic acid bacteria is achieved by changing its osmotic pressure. When the osmotic pressure increases, the lactic acid bacteria maintain the normal osmotic pressure of the cells by absorbing compatible substances; when the extracellular osmotic pressure decreases, the lactic acid bacteria keep the osmotic pressure at a normal level by releasing the absorbed compatible substances , but different lactic acid bacteria absorb compatible substances in different ways and mechanisms. The research of the present invention shows that a certain amount of salt concentration can promote the selenium enrichment of lactic acid bacteria, which leads to an increase in the synthesis of selenocysteine, thereby increasing the activity of lactic acid bacteria GSH-Px.

With the increase of stress temperature, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased, and decreased gradually. When the temperature increased to 47℃, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
对实施例34进行酶活测定,由图10可知对于罗伊氏乳杆菌,当热胁迫温度为45℃、47℃、49℃、51℃、53℃、55℃时,GSH-Px活性分别为12.965U/mg、16.088U/mg、15.918U/mg、11.923U/mg、11.671U/mg、10.161U/mg。随着胁迫温度的增加,GSH-Px活性呈现先升高后降低的趋势,且下降趋势在51℃时明显,当温度提高到47℃时,GSH-Px活性最高。The enzyme activity of Example 34 was measured, and it can be seen from Figure 10 that for Lactobacillus reuteri, when the heat stress temperature was 45°C, 47°C, 49°C, 51°C, 53°C, and 55°C, the GSH-Px activities were 12.965U/mg, 16.088U/mg, 15.918U/mg, 11.923U/mg, 11.671U/mg, 10.161U/mg. With the increase of stress temperature, the activity of GSH-Px increased first and then decreased, and the decreasing trend was obvious at 51℃. When the temperature increased to 47℃, the activity of GSH-Px was the highest.
由此可知,热胁迫可能使乳酸菌诱导产生热休克蛋白,部分酶活力增加,本研究中热胁迫促使GSH-Px活性提高。It can be seen that heat stress may induce lactic acid bacteria to produce heat shock proteins and increase the activity of some enzymes. In this study, heat stress promoted the increase of GSH-Px activity.
