Designing selenium polysaccharides-based nanoparticles to improve immune activity of Hericium erinaceus
2019
Abstract In previous researches, the results showed that selenium Hericium erinaceus polysaccharide and Hericium erinaceus polysaccharide-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles enhanced immune responses. In order to further enhance the immune adjuvant activity and phagocytosis of the nanoparticles, two way of combination (selenium-HEP loaded PLGA nanoparticles and selenium modified HEP-PLGA nanoparticles) were prepared to investigate the effects on macrophages in vitro. After treatment with the nanoparticles, the effects of phagocytosis, co-stimulatory molecules expression, nitric oxide (NO), and cytokines secretion were evaluated. The results showed that the particle size, PDI and zeta potential of the selenium-HEP loaded PLGA nanoparticles (Se-HEP-PLGA) and selenium modifified HEP-PLGA nanoparticles (HEP-PLGA-Se) were presented. Se-HEP-PLGA and HEP-PLGA-Se nanoparticles significantly stimulated phagocytic activity, CD40 and CD86 expression of macrophages. In addition, the levels of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were enhanced in the peritoneal macrophages by stimulation with Se-HEP-PLGA and HEP-PLGA-Se nanoparticles. Among them, Se-HEP-PLGA showed the best effects on the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, secretions of NO and cytokines. These results indicated that Se-HEP-PLGA could enhance the activation of macrophages, and it could be potentially used as an HEP delivery system for the induction of strong immune responses.
