Antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-fibrosis effect of phosphorylated polysaccharides from Pleurotus djamor mycelia on adenine-induced chronic renal failure mice.

Abstract The mycelia polysaccharides (MPS) from Pleurotus djamor were prepared and purified by anion exchange column chromatography, and the phosphate content of phosphorylated MPS (PMPS) was 15.22 ± 0.37%. FT-IR spectra, HPLC and 1H and 13C-NMR results showed the PMPS contained α-pyranose structure and the peak area percentage composition of galacturonic acid and glucose were 13.01% and 85.82%, respectively. Animal experiment investigated the antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis effects of PMPS on kidney in adenine-induced chronic renal failure (CRF) mice. All results including serum biochemical indices, histopathological observation, qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemical staining manifested the kidney injury could be remitted by PMPS interventions. This experiment suggested that PMPS could remit CRF and other kidney injury related diseases as one kind of dietary supplements and functional foods without toxic side effects.
