Li YY, Sun JW, Chen L, Lu YM, Wu QX, Yan C, Chen Y, Zhang M, Zhang WN. Structural characteristics of a polysaccharide from Armillariella tabescens and its protective effect on colitis mice via regulating gut microbiota and intestinal barrier function. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:133719. [PMID: 38992544 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
A new polysaccharide fraction (ATP) was obtained from Armillariella tabescens mycelium. Structural analysis suggested that the backbone of ATP was →4)-α-D-Glcp(1 → 2)-α-D-Galp(1 → 2)-α-D-Glcp(1 → 4)-α-D-Glcp(1→, which branched at O-3 of →2)-α-D-Glcp(1 → and terminated with T-α-D-Glcp or T-α-D-Manp. Besides, ATP significantly alleviated ulcerative colitis (UC) symptoms and inhibited the production of pro-inflammation cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6). Meanwhile, ATP could improve colon tissue damage by elevating the expression of MUC2 and tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin and claudin-1) levels and enhance intestinal barrier function through inhibiting the activation of MMP12/MLCK/p-MLC2 signaling pathway. Further studies exhibited that ATP could increase the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria such as f. Muribaculacese, g. Muribaculaceae, and g. Alistips, and decrease the relative abundance of g. Desulfovibrio, g. Colidextribacter, g. Ruminococcaceae and g.Oscillibacter, and regulate the level of short-chain fatty acids. Importantly, FMT intervention with ATP-derived microbiome certified that gut microbiota was involved in the protective effects of ATP on UC. The results indicated that ATP was potential to be further developed into promising therapeutic agent for UC.

Nutrients 2024; 16:2159. [PMID: 38999906 PMCID: PMC11243596 DOI: 10.3390/nu16132159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Obesity is an unhealthy condition associated with various diseases characterized by excess fat accumulation. However, in China, the prevalence of obesity is 14.1%, and it remains challenging to achieve weight loss or resolve this issue through clinical interventions. Sanghuangpours vaninii (SPV) is a nutritional fungus with multiple pharmacological activities and serves as an ideal dietary intervention for combating obesity. In this study, a long-term high-fat diet (HFD) was administered to induce obesity in mice. Different doses of SPV and the positive drug simvastatin (SV) were administered to mice to explore their potential anti-obesity effects. SPV regulated weight, serum lipids, and adipocyte size while inhibiting inflammation and hepatic steatosis. Compared with the vehicle-treated HFD-fed mice, the lowest decreases in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were 9.72%, 9.29%, and 12.29%, respectively, and the lowest increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was 5.88% after treatment with different doses of SPV. With SPV treatment, the analysis of gut microbiota and serum lipids revealed a significant association between lipids and inflammation-related factors, specifically sphingomyelin. Moreover, Western blotting results showed that SPV regulated the toll-like receptor (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in HFD-diet mice, which is related to inflammation and lipid metabolism. This research presents empirical proof of the impact of SPV therapy on obesity conditions.

An alkali-extracted neutral heteropolysaccharide from Phellinus nigricans used as an immunopotentiator in immunosuppressed mice by activating macrophages. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 335:122110. [PMID: 38616084 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
A neutral heteropolysaccharide (PNANb) was isolated with alkali (0.1 M NaOH) from mycelia of Phellinus nigricans, and the structure, immunostimulating activity and some of the underlying molecular mechanisms of action of PNANb were explored in the current study. PNANb (14.95 kDa) predominantly consisted of Gal, Glc, and Man with minor Fuc. GC-MS and NMR analyses indicated that the backbone of PNANb was mainly composed of 6-α-Galp, 2,6-α-Galp with minor 3,6-β-Glcp, which was substituted with complex side chains at C-2 of 2,6-α-Galp and C-3 of 3,6-β-Glcp. Notably, PNANb (50 or 100 mg/kg) possessed immunoprotective effects in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppressed C57BL/6 mice, which was supported by evidence including the enhancement of spleen and thymus indices, levels of serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM) and cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10), and macrophage activity. However, the immunostimulation effects of PNANb were decreased when macrophages were depleted, underscoring the essential role of macrophages in the beneficial effects of PNANb in Cy-induced immunosuppressed mice. Further investigations in vitro indicated that PNANb activated macrophages through MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathways mediated by Toll-like receptor 4. Therefore, PNANb can serve as a prospective immunopotentiator in immunosuppression.

Abstract
Cancer treatment faces numerous challenges, such as inadequate drug targeting, steep price tags, grave toxic side effects, and limited therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe and effective new drug to combat cancer. Microbial polysaccharides, complex and diverse biological macromolecules, exhibit significant microbial variability and uniqueness. Studies have shown that terrestrial microbial polysaccharides possess a wide range of biological activities, including immune enhancement, antioxidant properties, antiviral effects, anti-tumour potential, and hypoglycemic functions. To delve deeper into the structure-activity relationship of these land-based microbial polysaccharides against cancer, we conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of anti-cancer literature published between 2020 and 2024. The anticancer efficacy of terrestrial microbial polysaccharides is influenced by multiple factors, including the microbial species, existing form, chemical structure, and polysaccharide purity. According to the literature, an optimal molecular weight and good water solubility are essential for demonstrating anticancer activity. Furthermore, the addition of mannose and galactose has been found to significantly enhance the anticancer properties of these polysaccharides. These insights will serve as a valuable reference for future research and progress in the field of cancer drug therapy, particularly with regards to terrestrial microbial polysaccharides.

Abstract
Brown-rot fungus is one of the important medicinal mushrooms, which include some species within the genus Fomitopsis. This study identified wild macrofungi collected from a broad-leaved tree in Liaoning Province as Fomitopsis palustris using both morphological and molecular methods. To elucidate the potential medicinal and economic value of F. palustris, we conducted single-factor and orthogonal tests to optimize its mycelium culture conditions. Subsequently, we completed liquid culture and domestic cultivation based on these findings. Furthermore, crude polysaccharides were extracted from the cultivated fruiting bodies of F. palustris and their antioxidant activity was evaluated using chemical methods and cell-based models. The results showed that the optimal culture conditions for F. palustris mycelium were glucose as the carbon source, yeast extract powder as the nitrogen source, pH 6.0, and a temperature of 35 °C. Moreover, temperature was found to have the most significant impact on mycelial growth. The liquid strains were fermented for 6 days and then inoculated into a cultivation substrate composed of broadleaf sawdust, resulting in mature fruiting bodies in approximately 60 days. The crude polysaccharides extracted from the cultivated fruiting bodies of F. palustris (FPPs) possess in vitro scavenging abilities against DPPH radicals and OH radicals, as well as a certain ferric-reducing antioxidant power. Additionally, FPPs effectively mitigated H2O2-induced oxidative stress in RAW264.7cells by enhancing the intracellular activity of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and CAT, scavenging excess ROS, and reducing MDA levels. This study provides preliminarily evidence of the potential medicinal and economic value of F. palustris and offers initial data for the future development and utilization of this species.

Abstract
Sanghuangprous vaninii is a medicinal macrofungus cultivated extensively in China. Both the mycelia and fruiting bodies of S. vaninii have remarkable therapeutic properties, but it remains unclear whether the mycelia may serve as a substitute for the fruiting bodies. Furthermore, S. vaninii is a perennial fungus with therapeutic components that vary significantly depending on the growing year of the fruiting bodies. Hence, it is critical to select an appropriate harvest stage for S. vaninii fruiting bodies for a specific purpose. With the aid of Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), metabolomics based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QQQ-MS) was used to preliminarily determine 81 key active metabolites and 157 active pharmaceutical metabolites in S. vaninii responsible for resistance to the six major diseases. To evaluate the substitutability of the mycelia and fruiting bodies of S. vaninii and to select an appropriate harvest stage for the fruiting bodies of S. vaninii, we analyzed the metabolite differences, especially active metabolite differences, among the mycelia and fruiting bodies during three different harvest stages (1-year-old, 2-year-old, and 3-year-old). Moreover, we also determined the most prominent and crucial metabolites in each sample of S. vaninii. These results suggested that the mycelia show promise as a substitute for the fruiting bodies of S. vaninii and that extending the growth year does not necessarily lead to higher accumulation levels of active metabolites in the S. vaninii fruiting bodies. This study provided a theoretical basis for developing and using S. vaninii.

Abstract
In this study, one water soluble polysaccharide (IOP1-1) with a weight average molecular weight of 6886 Da was obtained from the black crystal region of Inonotus obliquus by hot water extraction, DEAE-52 cellulose extraction and Sephadex-100 column chromatography purification. Structural analysis indicated that IOP1-1 was a glucan with a main chain composed of α-Glcp-(1 → 4)-α-Glcp-(1 → 4)-β-Glcp-(1 → 4)-β-Glcp-(1 → 4)-α-Glcp-(1 → 6)-β-Glcp-(1 → 4)-α-Glcp-(1 → 3)-β-Glcp-(1→. The CCK-8 assay results showed that IOP1-1 inhibited AsPC-1 and SW1990 pancreatic cancer cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that IOP1-1 induced cell cycle arrest in AsPC-1 and SW1990 cells. Hoechst 33342 staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining analysis showed that IOP1-1 could induce apoptosis in AsPC-1 and SW1990 cells. Furthermore, western blot analysis confirmed that IOP1-1 could induce apoptosis in AsPC-1 and SW1990 pancreatic cancer cells through three pathways: the mitochondrial pathway, the death receptor pathway, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. According to these research data, IOP1-1 may be utilized as an adjuvant treatment to anticancer medications, opening up new application prospects and opportunities.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory activity of polysaccharides derived from Melastoma dodecandrum Lour. was evaluated in pyretic mice and HEK-Blue™ hTLR4 cells. The testing led to the identification of MDP2-1, which was then investigated for its structural characteristics and anti-inflammatory effects. Results showed that MDP2-1 had a molecular weight of 29.234 kDa and primarily consisted of galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, glucose, glucuronic acid, and galacturonic acid. Its main backbone was composed of →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→, →2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, →3,4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→, →2,4)-α-D-GlcpA-(1→, and its side chains were connected by →4)-α-D-Galp-(1→, α-D-Galp-(1→, →4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, and α-L-Araf-(1→. In vivo experiments on mice demonstrated that MDP2-1 attenuated LPS-induced acute lung injury, and in vitro experiments on RAW264.7 cells showed that MDP2-1 reduced the levels of inflammatory mediators and mitigated LPS-induced inflammatory damage by inhibiting the activation of the TLR4 downstream NF-κB/MAPK pathway. These findings suggest that MDP2-1 is a novel anti-inflammatory agent for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Edible fungi, commonly known as mushrooms, are precious medicinal and edible homologous gifts from nature to us. Edible fungal polysaccharides (EFPs) are a variety of bioactive macromolecular which isolated from fruiting bodies, mycelia or fermentation broths of edible or medicinal fungus. Increasing researches have confirmed that EFPs possess multiple biological activities both in vitro and in vivo settings, including antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and regulating intestinal flora activities. As a result, they have emerged as a prominent focus in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Fungal EFPs have safe, non-toxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible properties with low immunogenicity, bioadhesion ability, and antibacterial activities, presenting diverse potential applications in the food industries, cosmetic, biomedical, packaging, and new materials. Moreover, varying raw materials, extraction, purification, chemical modification methods, and culture conditions can result in variances in the structure and biological activities of EFPs. The purpose of this review is to provide comprehensively and systematically organized information on the structure, modification, biological activities, and potential applications of EFPs to support their therapeutic effects and health functions. This review provides new insights and a theoretical basis for prospective investigations and advancements in EFPs in fields such as medicine, food, and new materials.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128684. [PMID: 38086431 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the effects of four different extraction methods, acid (HCl), alkali (NaOH), enzymes (cellulase/pectinase), and buffer (pH 7.0) on the physicochemical properties and functionalities of burdock pectin were systematically investigated and compared. Buffer extraction gave a low yield (2.8 %) and is therefore limited in its application. The acid treatment hydrolyzed the neutral sidechains and gave a homogalacturonan content of 72.6 %. By contrast, alkali and enzymes preserved the sidechains while degrading the polygalacturonan backbone, creating a rhamnogalacturonan-I dominant structure. The branched structure, low molecular weight, and high degree of methylation (42.3 %) contributed to the interfacial adsorption, emulsifying capacity, and cellular antioxidant activity of the enzyme-extracted product. For the acid-extracted product, the strong intramolecular electrostatic repulsion restricted the formation of a contact interface to prevent coalescence of the emulsion. In addition, they did not have sufficient reducing ends to scavenge free radicals. Although a high branching size (5.0) was adopted, the low degree of methylation (19.5 %) affected the emulsifying capacity of the alkali-extracted products. These results provide useful information for pectic polysaccharides production with tailored properties.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117284. [PMID: 37844741 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY RELEVANCE Sanghuangporus vaninii (S. vaninii), as a traditional large medicinal fungus, has a history of more than 2000 years in Chinese history and has been widely used to treat female diseases such as vaginal discharge, amenorrhea, and uterine bleeding, and recent pharmacological studies have also found that it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor physiological activity, which has received more and more attention. AIM OF THE STUDY The objective was to evaluate cytotoxicity and the acute, subacute toxicity, and in vitro antioxidant activity of S. vaninii crude polysaccharide (SVP). MATERIALS AND METHODS The monosaccharide composition of SVP was determined by HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). The cytotoxicity of different concentrations of SVP on three types of cells (HT-22, Kupffer macrophages, HEK293) was assessed using CCk-8. The acute toxicity in vivo was evaluated for 14 days after the administration of SVP (2500,5000, or 10,000 mg/mL). For the evaluation of subacute toxicity, mice were daily treated for 28 days with SVP (2500,5000, or 10,000 mg/mL). In addition, DPPH, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion radical were used to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant activity of SVP. RESULTS SVP was not toxic in all three cell lines tested. In vitro antioxidant tests on the extracts showed that SVP possessed a strong antioxidant capacity in vitro. In the acute study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in male and female rats was 10,000 mg/kg body weight. There were also no deaths or severe toxicity associated with SVP in subacute studies. However, SVP treatment had a decreasing effect on body weight in mice of both sexes (2500, 5000, and 10000 mg/kg). At doses (5000 and 10,000 mg/kg), SVP had a reduced effect on food intake in both male and female mice. In addition, there were significant effects on organ coefficients of the liver, lung, and kidney. Hematological analysis showed significantly lower LYM (%) values in mice of both sexes, with significantly lower MCH (pg) values obtained in males (5000 mg/kg and 10000 mg/kg) and higher GRAN (%) values in females. In addition, the RDW-SD (fL) values were significantly lower in the male mice given the highest dose. Biochemical tests showed that there were no significant changes in ALT, AST, TP, and Cr levels after SVP treatment. In histopathological analysis, mild liver toxicity was observed in both female mice treated with 10,000 mg/kg SVP. CONCLUSION The extract of SVP showed a predominance of polysaccharide compounds, with non-toxic action in vivo. Our approach revealed SVP on the chemical composition and suggests a high margin of safety in the popular use of medicinal fungi. In conclusion, our results suggest that SVP is safe, and can be used as health care products and food.

Abstract
Plant defense mechanisms begin with the recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs/PAMPs). Several carbohydrates, such as chitin, were reported to induce plant defenses, acting as elicitors. Regrettably, the structures of polysaccharide elicitors have rarely been characterized, and their recognition receptors in plants remain unknown. In the present study, PCAP-1a, an exopolysaccharide (PCAP-1a) purified from Pectobacterium actinidiae, was characterized and found to induce rapid cell death of dicotyledons, acting as a polysaccharide elicitor to induce plant immunity. A series of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) responses were triggered, including reactive oxygen species production, phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and gene transcriptional reprogramming. Moreover, we confirmed that CERK1 is probably one of the immune coreceptors for plants to recognize PCAP-1a. Notably, PCAP-1a also promotes the infection caused by P. actinidiae. In conclusion, our study supports the potential of PCAP-1a as a toxin that plays a dual role of virulence and immune induction in pathogen-plant interactions.

Abstract
Polysaccharides as the biopolymers are showing various structural and modulatory functions. Effective separation of carbohydrate structures is essential to understanding their function. In this study, we choose an efficient organic acid in combination with recyclable organic solvent three-phase partitioning technology for the simultaneous extraction of polysaccharides from Ampelopsis japonica (AJPs) to ensure the integrity of linear and branched polysaccharide. The monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage information, structural and physicochemical analyses and associations with antioxidant activities were extensively analyzed. Synergistic extraction was compared with the conventional hot water extraction method and the results showed that AJPs-HNP exhibited better elastic properties and excellent antioxidant activity. Correlation analysis confirmed that the antioxidant activity of AJPs was significantly correlated with relative molecular weight, uronic acid content and terminal glycoside linkage molar ratios. The collaborative processing has significantly improved the utilization potential of AJPs and provides a sound theoretical foundation for the effective extraction and separation of polysaccharides. Overall, this work provides systematic and comprehensive scientific information on the physicochemical, rheological and antioxidant properties of AJPs, revealing their potential as natural antioxidants in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Sanghuangporous vaninii, as a valuable dietary supplement and medicinal ingredient, contains abundant bioactive polysaccharides that have health-promoting effects. In the present study, four polysaccharides (SVSPs-C, SVSPs-E, SVSPs-U, and SVSPs-E/U) were extracted for the first time from S. vaninii spores by three-phase partitioning (TPP), enzyme pretreatment before TPP (E-TPP), ultrasonic pretreatment before TPP (U-TPP), and enzyme pretreatment followed by ultrasonic before TPP (E/U-TPP) methods, respectively. Their physicochemical characteristics and in vitro pharmacological functions were determined and compared. Results showed that four TPP-based extraction methods had remarkable impacts on the extraction yield, chemical properties, monosaccharide compositions, and molecular weights (Mw) of SVSPs. Specifically, SVSPs-E/U obtained by E/U-TPP showed the highest extraction yield (25.40 %), carbohydrate content (88.50 %), and the lowest protein content (0.86 %). The four SVSPs had high-Mw (183.8-329.1 kDa) and low-Mw (23.0-156.4 kDa) fractions and mainly consisted of galactose, glucose, and mannose with different contents. In vitro bioactivities assays indicated that SVSPs-E/U possessed stronger antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypouricemic, immunostimulatory, and antitumor activities than those of SVSPs-C, SVSPs-E, and SVSPs-U. Therefore, our results provide an efficient and promising extraction technique for bioactive polysaccharides from S. vaninii spores, as well as SVSPs had the potential to be applied in functional food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics fields.

Abstract
A polysaccharide CY-2 from C. yunnanensis was obtained through a process of consecutive water extraction, alcohol precipitation, and DEAE-52 fast-flow chromatography. CY-2, with an average molecular weight of 2.69 × 104 Da mainly consisted of glucose and mannose with a molar ratio of 33.5: 56.9. Infrared spectrum (IR), methylation analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results revealed that CY-2 may have a backbone consisting of →6)-α-D-Manp-(1 → 3)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, and branch chain β-D-Glcp-(1→. Meanwhile, CY-2 had a higher inhibition rate on α-glucosidase activity compared with other fractions (CY-0, CY-1, and CY-4) and was a mixed competitive inhibitor. In addition, CY-2 at the concentration of 10 μg/mL presented a superior power to improve glucose consumption and metabolism in HepG2 cells compared with metformin. Overall, these findings highlight the potential value of CY-2 as a hypoglycemic agent.

Abstract
Colon cancer is the third most prevalent cancer and the second most deadly cancer in the world. Anti-colon cancer activity of Agaricus bisporus polysaccharides has not been studied. In this paper, Agaricus bisporus polysaccharides were sequentially extracted by room temperature water, hot water, high pressure hot water, dilute alkaline solution and concentrated alkaline solution. A homogeneous polysaccharide (WAAP-1) was obtained using DEAE Cellulose-52 column. Physicochemical properties, structural characterization and anti-colon cancer activity of WAAP-1 were investigated. The results showed that WAAP-1 was a neutral polysaccharide with molecular weight of 10.1 kDa. The monosaccharide composition was glucose, mannose and galactose with a molar ratio of 84.95:8.97:4.50. The main chain was mainly composed of (1,4)-α-D-Glcp and (1,6)-β-D-Manp. In vitro anti-colon cancer results showed that WAAP-1 could significantly inhibit proliferation of colon cancer cell HT-29. It promoted apoptosis and inhibited epithelial mesenchymal transition of HT-29 by up-regulating the expression of Caspase-3, Bax and E-cadherin proteins and down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Vimentin proteins. The results provided new potential possibilities for the development of novel functional foods or antitumor drugs.

[PMID: 37999385 PMCID: PMC10672335 DOI: 10.3390/md21110561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to analyze the structural properties and anti-inflammatory activity of the purified fractions derived from UV/H2O2-degraded polysaccharides from Sargassum fusiforme. Results indicated that twofractions with different monosaccharide compositions and morphological characteristics, PT-0.25 (yield 39.5%) and PT-0.5 (yield 23.9%), were obtained. The average molecular weights of PT-0.25 and PT-0.5 were 14.52 kDa and 22.89 kDa, respectively. In addition, PT-0.5 exhibited better anti-inflammatory activity with a clear dose dependence. The mechanism was associated with the inhibition of LPS-activated Toll-like receptor 4-mediated inflammatory pathways in RAW264.7 cells. The results showed that PT-0.5 was a complex polysaccharide mainly composed of 4-Fucp, t-Manp, 6-Galp, t-Fucp, and 3,4-GlcAp. These results would provide theoretical support for studying the structural properties and biological activities of UV/H2O2-degraded polysaccharides.

Abstract
The development of novel prebiotics, which could regulate the intestinal microbiota, may help prevent and treat intestinal diseases. Here, we studied a homogeneous polysaccharide, LPE-2, produced by Lactobacillus pentosus YY-112 during fermentation. Methylation and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, combined with nuclear magnetic resonance results, suggested that the structural unit of LPE-2 comprises a branched mannan moiety and a linear glucan moiety. In vitro simulated intestinal fermentation showed that LPE-2 reduced harmful intestinal gas production and promoted short-chain fatty acid production (especially propionic acid). Moreover, it reduced the relative abundance of Escherichia-Shigella, increased that of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, and had a stronger regulatory effect on intestinal flora in women than in men. The potential sex-specific prebiotic effects of LPE-2 on human intestinal health, were possibly related to its mannan branch with (1→2) and (1→3) linkages and backbones with flexible α configurations, which are sheared and degraded/utilized easier by Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.

Abstract
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is one of the main edible legume vegetables in China, and it can improve spleen and stomach function. A polysaccharide component (VUP80-3) has been isolated from V. unguiculata in this study. The average molecular weight of VUP80-3 is 6.43 × 104 Da, and the main monosaccharide group is glucose. The mass ratio of monosaccharide groups in the polysaccharide was glucose:galactose:arabinose:rhamnose:xylose:mannose:fucose = 152.36:24.50:16.53:8.13:1.26:0.97:0.82. NMR analysis showed that VUP80-3 has →4)-α-D-Galp (1→ and →4)-α-D-Glcp(1→ main chain and →3,4)-β-D-Glcp(1→, →4,6)-α-D-Glcp(1→ branch chains, and the terminal sugar is α-D-Glcp(1→. Biological activity test results showed that VUP80-3 at 1000 μg·mL-1 significantly increased the activity of ethanol injured GES-1 cells (p < 0.01) and significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ethanol injured GES-1 cells and inflammatory factors (IL-8, IL-1β and TNF-α,) in GES-1 cells. This compound also reduced the apoptosis rate (p < 0.05), thereby significantly reducing the oxidative damage caused by ethanol in GES-1 cells. Therefore, VUP80-3 is a potential drug to protect the gastric mucosa from damage.

Structural characterization of pectic polysaccharides from Amaranth caudatus leaves and the promotion effect on hippocampal glucagon-like peptide-1 level. Int J Biol Macromol 2023:124967. [PMID: 37217047 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
In this study, decolorized pectic polysaccharides (D-ACLP) with molecular weight (Mw) distribution of 3483- 2,023,656 Da were prepared from Amaranth caudatus leaves. Purified polysaccharides (P-ACLP) with the Mw of 152,955 Da were further isolated from D-ACLP through gel filtration. The structure of P-ACLP was analyzed by 1D and 2D NMR spectra. P-ACLP were identified as rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) containing dimeric arabinose side chains. The main chain of P-ACLP was composed of →4)-α-GalpA-(1→, →2)-β-Rhap-(1→, →3)-β-Galp-(1 → and →6)-β-Galp-(1→. There was a branched chain of α-Araf-(1 → 2)-α-Araf-(1 → connected to the O-6 position of →3)-β-Galp-(1→. The GalpA residues were partially methyl esterified at O-6 and acetylated at O-3. The 28-day consecutive gavage of D-ALCP (400 mg/kg) significantly elevated the hippocampal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels in rats. The concentrations of butyric acid and total short chain fatty acids in the cecum contents also increased significantly. Moreover, D-ACLP could significantly increase the gut microbiota diversity and dramatically up-regulated the abundance of Actinobacteriota (phylum) and unclassified Oscillospiraceae (genus) in intestinal bacteria. Taking together, D-ACLP might promote the hippocampal GLP-1 level through the beneficial regulation of butyric acid-producing bacteria in gut microbiota. This study contributed to making full use of Amaranth caudatus leaves for cognitive dysfunction intervention in food industry.

Bioorg Chem 2023; 133:106394.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) plays a critical role in the progression of gout. We showed in a previous study that Sanghuangporus vaninii (S. vaninii), a perennial, medicinal, and edible fungus traditionally used to treat various symptoms, contains XO inhibitors. In the current study, we isolated an active component of S. vaninii using high performance countercurrent chromatography and identified it as davallialactone using mass spectrometry with 97.726 % purity. A microplate reader showed that davallialactone had mixed inhibition of XO activity with a half-inhibitory concentration value of 90.07 ± 2.12 μM. In addition, the collision between davallialactone and XO led to fluorescence quenching and conformational changes in XO, which were mainly driven by hydrophobicity and hydrogen bonding. Molecular simulations further showed that davallialactone was located at the center of the molybdopterin (Mo-Pt) of XO and interacted with amino acid residues Phe798, Arg912, Met1038, Ala1078, Ala1079, Gln1194, and Gly1260, suggesting that entering the enzyme-catalyzed reaction was unfavorable for the substrate. We also observed face-to-face π-π interactions between the aryl ring of davallialactone and Phe914. Cell biology experiments indicated that davallialactone reduced the expression of the inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1 beta (P < 0.05), can effectively alleviate cellular oxidative stress. This study showed that davallialactone significantly inhibits XO and has the potential to be developed into a novel medicine to prevent hyperuricemia and treat gout.

Abstract
Polysaccharides from the species of Boletaceae (Boletales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) are economically significant to both functional foods and medicinal industries. The crude polysaccharide from Butyriboletus pseudospeciosus (BPP) was prepared, and its physicochemical properties were characterized through the use of consecutive experimental apparatus, and its impact on the gut microbiota of Kunming mice was evaluated. Analyses of the structure characteristics revealed that BPP was mainly composed of Man, Glc, and Gal, possessing the pyranose ring and β/α-glycosidic linkages. TG analysis exhibited that BPP had great heat stability. The SEM observation performed demonstrated that BPP appeared with a rough, dense, and porous shape. Through the BPP intervention, the serum and fecal biochemical index in mice can be improved obviously (p < 0.05). The abundance of beneficial microbiota in the BPP-treated group was significantly increased, while the abundance of harmful microbiota was significantly decreased (p < 0.05). Based on the Tax4Fun, we also revealed the relationship between the species of gut microbiota and showed that the high dose of BPP has significantly changed the functional diversities compared with those in other groups (p < 0.05). The results suggest that B. pseudospeciosus could serve as potential functional food or medicine.

Abstract
Sanghuangporus vaninii is a medicinal mushroom, which has been used as a treatment for various diseases; however, the therapeutic potential and mechanism of action of S. vaninii in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unknown. Herein, human colon adenocarcinoma cells were used to analyze the anti-CRC effects of the purified polysaccharide of S. vaninii (SVP-A-1) in vitro. In SVP-A-1-treated B6/JGpt-Apcem1Cin (Min)/Gpt male (ApcMin/+) mice, 16S rRNA sequencing was performed on cecal feces, metabolites were examined in serum, and LC-MS/MS protein detection was performed in colorectal tumors. Protein changes were further confirmed by various biochemical detection methods. Water-soluble SVP-A-1 with a molecular weight of 22.5 kDa was first obtained. SVP-A-1 prevented gut microbiota dysbiosis related to metabolic pathways of L-arginine biosynthesis, increased L-citrulline levels in the serum of ApcMin/+ mice, mediated L-arginine synthesis, and improved antigen presentation in dendritic cells and activated CD4+ T cells; the resulting Th1 cells released IFN-γ and TNF-α to act on tumor cells and promoted the sensitivity of tumor cells to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In summary, SVP-A-1 exerted anti-CRC effects and has excellent potential for CRC treatment.

Abstract
In this experiment, the polysaccharide was extracted from Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi, and its structural characteristics and bioactivity were investigated. The results showed that Pueraria lobata polysaccharide (PLP) was composed of fucose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, xylose, mannose in a molar proportion of 0.09:1.25:2.19:95.74:0.43:0.30 with a number molar masses (Mn) weight of 14.463 kDa. Besides, FT-IR, Methylation, and NMR analysis revealed that PLP were mainly composed of the main chain →4)-α-Glcp (1→ and →4,6)-α-Glcp (1→, and the branched chain α-Glcp (1→. In vitro experiment, the results showed that PLP could stimulate the expression of surface molecules on RAW264.7 and (T and B) lymphocytes proliferation, simultaneously to stimulate their cytokines secretion. In vivo experiment, the immune organ index, cytokine content, and T lymphocyte subtype in cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice could be improved by PLP. These data proved that PLP could be used as a useful immunomodulator to enhance the immune activity of RAW264.7, T, and B cells and improve the immune function of cyclophosphamide-treated mice.

Abstract
Mushrooms are full of nutrition and have beneficial properties for human health. Polysaccharides are the main component of edible and medicinal mushrooms, especially β-glucans, which have attracted much more attention for their complex structure and diverse biological activities. Among all the diverse medicinal activities of mushroom polysaccharides, antitumor and immune-enhancing activities are two excellent bioactivities that have much more potential and deserve application. Their bioactivities are highly dependent on their structural features, including molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, degree of branching, type and configuration of glycosidic bonds, substituent pattern, and chain conformation. This review summarizes the current method for obtaining polysaccharides from mushrooms, chemical characterizations of the structures and their roles in immune and antitumor activities. In addition, the methods for preparation of the polysaccharide derivatives and the potential medicinal clinical application are also discussed in this review, which may provide new guidance for mushroom polysaccharide development.

Abstract
In this study, the crude polysaccharides (CSVP) and the preliminary purified polysaccharides (PSVP) from Sanghuangporus vaninii were obtained. The physicochemical properties, gastrointestinal digestion, and probiotic fermentation behaviors of CSVP and PSVP as well as the immunomodulatory effects of PSVP in cyclophosphamide-treated mice were investigated. The results showed that PSVP had higher total polysaccharides content and solubility, but lower radical scavenging activity than CSVP. Moreover, PSVP showed lower hydrolysis degree and better probiotic effects than CSVP. In immunosuppression mice model, PSVP supplement increased the body weight, spleen and thymus index, improved the release of cytokines IFN-γ, immunoglobulins IgM and IgG, and enhanced the lysozyme activity. Moreover, PSVP supplement significantly prevented the oxidative stress in vivo, increased the level of beneficial gut microbiota, especially Bacteroidaceae and Lactobscillsceae, as well as the content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These results indicated that PSVP could recover the immune response in cyclophosphamide-treated mice by regulating gut microbiota and intestinal barrier. The findings will lay a theoretical foundation for equitable utilization of S. vaninii resources as well as the product development.

Abstract
The present study aims to analyze the structural characterization and antioxidant activity of a novel exopolysaccharide from Rhizopus nigricans (EPS2-1). For this purpose, EPS2-1 was purified through DEAE-52, Sephadex G-100, and Sephadex G-75 chromatography. The structural characterization of EPS2-1 was analyzed using high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), methylation analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM). The results revealed that EPS2-1 is composed of mannose (Man), galactose (Gal), glucose (Glc), arabinose (Ara), and Fucose (Fuc), and possesses a molecular weight of 32.803 kDa. The backbone of EPS2-1 comprised →2)-α-D-Manp-(1→ and →3)-β-D-Galp-(1→, linked with the O-6 position of (→2,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→) of the main chain is branch α-D-Manp-(1→6)-α-D-Manp-(1→, linked with the O-6 positions of (→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→) of the main chain are branches →4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→ and →3)-β-D-Galp-(1→, respectively. Finally, we demonstrated that EPS2-1 also shows free radical scavenging activity and iron ion reducing ability. At the same time, EPS2-1 could inhibit the proliferation of MFC cells and increase the cell viability of RAW264.7 cells. Our results suggested that EPS2-1 is a novel polysaccharide, and EPS2-1 has antioxidant activity. In addition, EPS2-1 may possess potential immunomodulatory and antitumor activities. This study promoted the application of EPS2-1 as the functional ingredients in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
Background: The microbial symbionts of macrofungal fruiting body have been shown to play momentous roles in host growth, development, and secondary metabolism. Nevertheless, there is no report on the fungal diversity of Sanghuangporus, a medicinal and edible homologous macrofungus as “forest gold”, which has good effects on antioxidation, boosting immunity and curing stomachache. Here, the diversity and functional group of fungi associated with the fruiting body of the most widely applied S. vaninii were characterized by high-throughput sequencing and FUNGuild tool for the first time. Results: Total 11 phyla, 34 classes, 84 orders, 186 families, and 328 genera were identified in the fruiting body, and our results revealed that the fungal community was dominated by the host fungal taxonomy with absolute superiority (more than 70%), namely, Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes, Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaetaceae, and genus of Phellinus corrected to Sanghuangporus. Simultaneously, the reads allocated into non-host fungal operational taxonomic units were largely dominated by Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes, Sordariales, Mortierellaceae, and Mortierella. Furthermore, the endophytic fungi were assigned into three trophic modes of “saprotroph” (53.2%), “symbiotroph” (32.2%), and “pathotroph” (14.1%), in which the category of “plant pathogen” was highest enriched with relative abundance of 91.8%, indicating that the endophytic fungi may have the potential to adjust the growth and metabolism of host S. vaninii. Conclusion: Altogether, this report firstly provided new findings that can be inspiring for further in-depth studies to exploit bioactive microbial resources for increased production of Sanghuangporus via coculture, as well as to explore the relationship between macrofungi and their associated endophytes.

Abstract
Sanghuangprous vaninii is a wood-inhabiting fungus, and its mycelium and fruiting body show excellent medicinal values. Mulberry is one of the major hosts of S. vaninii, however, the mechanism of mulberry affecting the growth of S. vaninii has not been reported. In the present study, a mulberry-inhabiting strain of S. vaninii was selected to explore the effects of mulberry branch extracts (MBE) on the growth of the strain. Results showed that MBE could significantly promote the growth of S. vaninii mycelium at the concentration of 0.2 g/l. After 16 days of liquid culture, the dry weight of mycelium in 0.2 g/l MBE medium was higher by three times compared with that in the control. The non-targeted metabonomic analysis of the culture medium at different culture times and concentrations was conducted to find the key components in MBE that promoted the growth of S. vaninii mycelium. Under the different concentrations of MBE culture for 10 and 16 days, 22 shared differential metabolites were identified. Next, in accordance with the peak value trend of these metabolites, HPLC–MS and liquid culture validation, four components derived from MBE (i.e., scopoletin, kynurenic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) could significantly increase the growth rate of mycelium at the concentration of 2 mg/l. Transcriptomic and qRT-PCR analyzes showed that MBE could upregulate hydrolase-related genes, such as serine–glycine–asparaginate–histidine (SGNH) hydrolase, alpha-amylase, poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerase, glycosyl hydrolase family 61, cerato-platanin protein and Fet3, which might enhance the nutrient absorption ability of S. vaninii. Importantly, MBE could significantly increase the content of harmine, androstenedione and vesamicol, which have been reported to possess various medicinal effects. Results suggested that MBE could be an excellent additive for liquid culture of S. vaninii mycelium, and these hydrolase-related genes also provided candidate genes for improving the nutrient absorption capacity of S. vaninii.

Abstract
A homogeneous polysaccharide coded as CPP-1 was extracted and purified from the root of Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf. by water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and column chromatography. Its structure was analyzed by HPGPC-ELSD, HPLC, GC-MS, FT-IR, and NMR techniques. The results indicated that CPP-1 was composed of mannose (Man), glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), and arabinose (Ara) at a molar ratio of 5.86 : 51.69 : 34.34 : 8.08. The methylation analysis revealed that the main glycosidic linkage types of CPP-1 were (1→)-linked-Glc residue, (1→3)-linked-Glc residues, (1→4)-linked-Gal residue, (1→2,3,4)-linked-Glc residue, (1→)-linked-Man residue, (1→3,4)-linked-Glc residue, and (1→)-linked-Ara residue. In vivo efficacy trial illustrated that CPP-1 supplements could alleviate HFD-induced mice obesity significantly, as well as improve obesity-induced disorders of glucose metabolism, alleviate insulin resistance, and improve the effects of lipid metabolism. The findings indicate that this polysaccharide has the potential for the treatment of obesity.

Abstract
We developed an efficient combination method for extraction, biological activity screening, and preparation of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors from Phellinus igniarius. 5-Lipoxygenase inhibitors were rapidly screened using ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography based on the receptor-ligand affinity. Parameters such as extraction time, extraction times, and temperature as well as liquid-solid ratio were optimized using response surface methodology to maximize the total yield of the three target compounds. Next, bioactive ingredients were isolated using high-speed countercurrent chromatography and semi-preparative liquid chromatography. Three active ingredients, phellibaumin E, protocatechuic aldehyde, and osmundacetone, were obtained via ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography. Subsequently, the potential anti-dementia effects of the obtained bioactive compounds were verified using molecular docking assays. The above-mentioned target compounds, with purities of 98.82%, 98.89%, and 99.51%, respectively, were separated using a two-phase solvent system consisting of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-ethanol-water (2.5:2:0.75:3, v/v/v/v) coupled with semi-preparative liquid chromatography.

Abstract
This study investigated the structure of acidic Pueraria lobata polysaccharide (a-PLP) and its bioactive effects on intestinal function in cyclophosphamide (CY)-treated mice. The structure of a-PLP was preliminarily analyzed, and the results showed that it is composed of fucose, arabinose, rhamnose, galactose, glucose, xylose, mannose, galacturonic acid, and glucuronic acid in a molar proportion of 2.54:16.52: 6.14: 16.60: 4.05: 4.75: 0.48: 47.44: 1.47 with a weight average molecular weight of 22.675 kDa. In addition, the methylation analysis suggested that 4-Gal(p)-UA may be the main backbone of a-PLP. Furthermore, a-PLP (1.2 g/kg, 0.8 g/kg, and 0.4 g/kg) was administered orally for the treatment of CY-treated mice. The results showed that a-PLP could remarkably relieved weight loss and intestinal villous atrophy in CY-treated mice. Meanwhile, the secretion levels of sIgA, β-defensin, cytokines, Mucin-2, and tight junction proteins increased significantly. Moreover, the ratio of T (CD4+ and CD8+) cells in the Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes also increased remarkably, along with the number of goblet cells. Furthermore, a-PLP decreased the levels of diamino oxidase and malondialdehyde, but up-regulated the activity of superoxide dismutase. In summary, a-PLP exhibited great benefits by attenuating CY side effects, opening a potential avenue to effectively treat cancer and reduce the suffering of chemotherapy patients.

Abstract
Polysaccharides in boletes (Boletales) are economically significant to both function food and medicinal industries. The polysaccharides were extracted from the fruit bodies of eight boletes, namely, Aureoboletus longicollis, Butyriboletus hainanensis, Crocinoboletus rufoaureus, Hemioporus japonicus, Neoboletus infuscatus, Neoboletus obscureumbrinus, Tylopilus otsuensis, Xanthoconium fusciceps, which were collected from tropical China; their physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities were characterised and evaluated, respectively. The results revealed that the polysaccharides among the eight boletes were mainly composed of glucose, mannose, and galactose, with a broad molecular weight range, and contained a pyranose ring revealed by FT-IR and NMR spectral analyses. Many factors such as different species of boletes, geographic conditions, molecular weight, configuration, and monosaccharide content may affect the antioxidant power of polysaccharides, simultaneously, instead of one single factor. The antioxidant activities of the polysaccharides were measured according to in vitro assays of DPPH scavenging, superoxide anion scavenging, and ferrous ion reducing tests. The polysaccharide of C. rufoaureus has greatly superior antioxidant activity and it could serve as potential functional food or medicine.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese Medicine is generally used as a decoction to guard health. Many active ingredients in the decoction are chemical ingredients that are not usually paid attention to in phytochemical research, such as polysaccharides, etc. Based on research interest in Chinese herbal decoction, crude polysaccharides from G. wilfordii (GCP) were purified to obtain two relatively homogeneous polysaccharides, a neutral polysaccharide (GNP), and an acid polysaccharide (GAP) by various chromatographic separation methods, which were initially characterized by GC-MS, NMR, IR, and methylation analysis. Studies on the hepatoprotective activity of GCP in vivo showed that GCP might be a potential agent for the prevention and treatment of acute liver injury by inhibiting the secretion levels of ALT, AST, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and MDA expression levels, increasing SOD, and the GSH-Px activity value. Further, in vitro assays, GNP and GAP, decrease the inflammatory response by inhibiting the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α, involved in the STAT1/T-bet signaling pathway.

Conformation and anticancer activity of a novel mannogalactan from the fruiting bodies of Sanghuangporus sanghuang on HepG2 cells. Food Res Int 2022; 156:111336. [PMID: 35651086 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.111336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
A novel water-soluble mannogalactan (SSPS1) with an average molecular weight of 2.04 × 104 Da was obtained from the fruiting bodies of the Sanghuangporus sanghuang. It revealed that SSPS1 was composed of d-galactose, d-mannose, l-fucose, 3-O-methylgalactose and d-glucose in a ratio of 6.2:3.9:3.1:2.1:1.0. The structural elucidation of SSPS1 consisted of 1, 6-linked α-D-Galp, 1, 6-linked α-D-Manp and 1, 6-linked 3-O-methyl-α-D-Galp backbone with branching at O-2 of 1, 6-α-D-mannosyl residues by α-L-Fucp and α-D-Glcp units. The conformational parameters suggested that a flexible chain conformation of SSPS1 in solution based on light scattering and atomic force microscopy imaging. Intriguingly, it presented potent anticancer activity on HepG2 cell with Rq and Ra values increased dramatically up to 73.93 nm and 53.92 nm compared with the control. The analysis of flow cytometry indicated SSPS1 could induce the apoptosis of HepG2 cells and arrest them via S phase. Western blot assay further uncovered that apoptosis process was triggered by SSPS1 via a mitochondria-mediated signaling pathway, which was evidenced by an increased ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, the release of cytochrome c and the strong activation of caspase-3 and 9. Taken together, these results suggested that SSPS1 might be applied in functional food as an anticancer agent.

Selenium-containing polysaccharides isolated from Rosa laevigata Michx fruits exhibit excellent anti-oxidant and neuroprotective activity in vitro. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 209:1222-1233. [PMID: 35472363 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.04.146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 04/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Selenium-containing polysaccharides have potential as an organic selenium dietary supplement, owing to their low toxicity, few side effects, and easy absorption attributes. In this study, we isolated two novel homogeneous selenium-containing polysaccharides from Rosa laevigata Michx fruits (Se-RLFPs). Results from primary structural analysis revealed that Se-RLFPs were α - pyranose, and were both composed of rhamnose, xylose, glucose with an average molecular weight of 24 and 16 KDa, respectively. Selenium contents in Se-RLFP-I and Se-RLFP-II were 16.49 μg/g and 21.61 μg/g, respectively. Results from analysis of antioxidant and neuroprotective activity of the polysaccharides revealed that Se-RLFPs had a radical scavenging effect. Specifically, they effectively protected SH-SY5Y cells from H2O2-induced damage by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and suppressing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Western blots showed that the underlying mechanisms of action may be related to the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Taken together, these results suggested that Se-RLFPs have potential as a pharmaceutical agent for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) or as a selenium-complementary ingredient in functional foods.
