Biotech Application of Exopolysaccharides from Curvularia brachyspora: Optimization of Production, Structural Characterization, and Biological Activity. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28114356. [PMID: 37298832 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28114356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
C. brachyspora, a widespread dematiaceous fungus, was evaluated in this study to optimize the production of exopolysaccharides (CB-EPS). Optimization was performed using response surface methodology, and the best production yielded 75.05% of total sugar at pH 7.4, with 0.1% urea, after 197 h. The obtained CB-EPS showed typical signals of polysaccharides, which was confirmed by FT-IR and NMR. The HPSEC analysis indicated a polydisperse polymer, showing a non-uniform peak, with an average molar mass (Mw) of 24,470 g/mol. The major monosaccharide was glucose (63.9 Mol%), followed by mannose (19.7 Mol%), and galactose (16.4 Mol%). Methylation analysis encountered derivatives that indicated the presence of a β-d-glucan and a highly branched glucogalactomannan. CB-EPS was tested on murine macrophages to verify its immunoactivity, and the treated cells were able to produce TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10. However, the cells did not produce superoxide anions or nitric oxide nor stimulated phagocytosis. The results demonstrated an indirect antimicrobial activity of macrophages by stimulating cytokines, showing another biotech applicability for the exopolysaccharides produced by C. brachyspora.

Abstract
Edible fungi, commonly known as mushrooms, are precious medicinal and edible homologous gifts from nature to us. Because of their distinctive flavor and exceptional nutritional and medicinal value, they have been a frequent visitor to people’s dining tables and have become a hot star in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Edible fungal polysaccharides (EFPs) are an essential nutrient for edible fungi to exert bioactivity. They have attracted much attention because of their antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antitumor, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic bioactivities. As a result, EFPs have demonstrated outstanding potential over the past few decades in various disciplines, including molecular biology, immunology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical chemistry. However, the complexity of EFPs and the significant impact of mushroom variety and extraction techniques on their bioactivities prevents a complete investigation of their biological features. Therefore, the authors of this paper thoroughly reviewed the comparison of different extraction methods of EFPs and their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, and glycosidic bond type and backbone structure of EFPs are described in detail. Moreover, the in vitro and in vivo bioactivities of EFPs extracted by different methods and their potential regulatory mechanisms are summarized. These provide a valuable reference for improving the extraction process of EFPs and their production and development in the pharmaceutical field.

Abstract
Bladder cancer(BC)is one of the most common urinary system tumors, which characterized by a high incidence. Polyporus polysaccharide is the main active component of polyporus, which is clinically used in the treatment of bladder cancer, but the mechanism is not clear. In previous study, we isolated homogeneous polyporus polysaccharide(HPP) with high purity from polyporus. The goal of this study was to assess the polarization of macrophages induced by HPP in the bladder tumor microenvironment and explored its anti-bladder cancer mechanism through BBN bladder cancer rat model and Tumor associated macrophages(TAM). The results suggested that HPP regulates TAM polarization to improve the tumor inflammatory microenvironment, possibly through the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Our results suggested that HPP may be a potential therapeutic agent for bladder tumors.

Abstract
Previous studies on the soft coral Lobophytum sarcophytoides (Lobophytum sp.) are mainly about small molecules, and there has been no systematic research on polysaccharides. In the study, a novel polysaccharide (LCPs-1-A) with immunoenhancing functions was successfully extracted and purified from the soft coral Lobophytum sp. After preliminary analysis, our data indicated that LCPs-1-A was composed of glucose and had a molecular weight of 4.90 × 106 Da. Moreover, our findings showed that LCPs-1-A could promote the proliferation and phagocytosis of RAW264.7 cells, stimulate the production of NO and ROS, and increase the mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, which indicated that LCPs-1-A had a good immunoenhancing activity. Through further studies, we found that LCPs-1-A might play an immunoenhancing role through the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, our results demonstrated that LCPs-1-A might be a natural immunostimulant for use in medical and food industries.

Abstract
Polygonatum sibiricum is traditionally used as Chinese medicine for immunity enhancement. Exploration of polysaccharides from Polygonatum species would provide a wider insight into the studies on their chemical structures and function activities. In this study, the alkali-extracted polysaccharide from P. sibiricum (PSP) was isolated and examined. The polysaccharide was firstly isolated by ion-exchange chromatography equipped with DE52 column, followed by isolated through Superdex-200 column. The obtained PSPJWA fraction was a homogenous one with average molecular weight of 141 kDa. The monosaccharide composition was galactose, arabinose and rhamnose in a ratio of 14:4:1. The glycosidic linkages of PSPJWA fraction were indicated to be Araf-(1→, →5)-Araf-(1→, →3,5)-Araf-(1→, Galp-(1→, →4)-Galp-(1→, →4,6)-Galp-(1→ and →2,4)-Rhap-(1→ residue by methylation analysis. NMR and enzymatic studies showed that PSPJWA was a novel arabinogalactan-type structure. PSPJW polysaccharides with different molecular weight and similar chemical structure had different antioxidant activities. Together, P. sibiricum polysaccharide has the potential to be a natural antioxidant.

Abstract
Polyporus umbellatus (Pers.) Fries, a well-known medicinal fungus, has been reported to exhibit important functions of diuresis and dampness infiltration in traditional Chinese Medicine. Accumulating evidences have demonstrated that the P. umbellatus polysaccharides (PUPs) are the main and representative pharmacologically active ingredients and display multiple bioactivities both in vivo and in vitro methods, such as those of antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antitumor, anti-proliferative and hepatoprotective. Besides, many PUPs have been isolated from the different sources of P. umbellatus, including sclerotia, fruiting body, mycelia and fermentation liquid of this fungus. The purpose of the present review is to comprehensively and systematically reorganize the available information related to the extraction, purification, modification, structure characterization and to discuss diverse biological activities of PUPs to support their potential application value in pharmaceuticals field, functional foods and cosmetics areas. In addition, new invaluable insights on the future research with PUPs have also been proposed in the important areas of structural characterization and pharmacological activities.

Abstract
In the present study, an exopolysaccharide (EPS) producer Rhodococcus erythropolis HX-2 was isolated from Xinjiang oil field, China. The HX-2 EPS (name HPS) production reached 8.957 g/L by RSM in MSM medium. The HPS was purified by ethanol precipitation and fractionation by DEAE-Cellulose and Sepharose column, the yield of HPS was 3.736 g/L. HPS composed by glucose, galactose, fucose, mannose and glucuronic acid. FT-IR spectroscopy indicated the presence of a large amount of hydroxyl groups. NMR spectroscopy indicated the existence of both α and β-configuration for sugar moieties present in HPS. The degradation temperature (255.4 °C) of the HPS was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A reticular structure of HPS was observed by SEM and the AFM analysis of the HPS revealed straight chains line. Meanwhile, the WSI and WHC of HPS were 92.15 ± 3.05% and 189.45 ± 5.65%, respectively. Finally, In vitro anticancer activity purified EPS was evaluated on L929 normal cells, A549 cancer cells, SMMC-7721 liver cancer cells and Hela cervical cancer cell. HPS inhibited the growth of cancer cells in a certain concentration without damage to normal cells. These characteristics indicate that its potential application value in food, industry and pharmaceutical application.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are metabolites of probiotics that have gained wide interest recently. A strain of Lactobacillus reuteri Mh-001 with high exopolysaccharide (EPS) production ability was isolated, identified, and were used to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of the EPSs. Among the three unpurified EPSs, RAW246.7 murine macrophages treated with 5 ppm of EPS 1 revealed the lowest tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) secretion (325.32 ± 51.10 pg/ug DNA). The second lowest TNF- α secretion occurred with EPS 2 (701.12 ± 86.108 pg/ug DNA) from Mh-002. EPSs 4, 5, and 6 were further purified from EPS 1. Cells treated with 1 ppm of EPS 4 had the lowest TNF-α secretion of all (209.20 ± 84.34 pg/ug DNA). The monosaccharide components, EPS 4 and EPS 1, had the highest galactose content (45 ± 2.75% and 39 ± 2.75%, respectively). The monosaccharide percentages (galactose > rhamnose > glucose) were related to the anti-inflammatory activity of the EPSs. The galactose content of EPSs enhanced their anti-inflammatory effects on the macrophages. These data indicate that EPS possesses beneficial physiological effects such as anti-inflammatory properties, and the monosaccharide content of the EPS was the factor influencing the anti-inflammatory properties.
