Charaterization and immunomodulatory activities of polysaccharide isolated from Pleurotus eryngii.
2016
Abstract A water-soluble polysaccharide (EPA-1) from Pleurotus eryngii was obtained using DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-50 columns. The properties, structure and immunomodulatory activity of EPA-1 were studied. The results demonstrated that EPA-1 was a homogeneous polysaccharide with the molecular weight of 9.97 × 10 4 Da. EPA-1 consisted of Man, Glc and Gal in a molar ratio of 2.2:1.0:3.2. The characterized fragment structures of EPA-1 were found to be consisting of seven sugar residues and two branches by GC–MS, FTIR and NMR analyses. Among them, the (1 → 6)-linked Gal residue was the main linkage mode of EpA-1 and composed of its backbone. Activity tests indicated that EPA-1 significantly induced macrophage to release the immune activity factor of NO, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 through activation of signal protein of p38, ERK, JNK in MAPKs and translocation of nuclear NF-κΒ, indicating EPA-1 to possess good immunoregulatory activity.
