Immune-enhancing effects of a polysaccharide PRG1-1 from Russula griseocarnosa on RAW264.7 macrophage cells via the MAPK and NF-κB signalling pathways

Abstract

Immune-enhancing effects of a polysaccharide PRG1-1 from Russulagriseocarnosa on RAW264.7 macrophage cells via the MAPK and NF-κB signalling pathways, Food and Agricultural Immunology, 29:1, 833-844, ABSTRACTPolysaccharides are one of many bioactive compounds found in edible mushrooms. Edible mushrooms have become attractive as "health foods" and as source materials for immunomodulators. The aim of this project was to study the immunoregulatory effects of a purified polysaccharide derived from wild Russula griseocarnosa (PRG1-1) on macrophages. Our data showed that in RAW264.7 macrophage cells, PRG1-1 increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Furthermore, PRG1-1 increased the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Western blotting demonstrated that the regulation of NO and cytokines was mediated through the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways. Therefore, PRG1-1 has the capacity to activate macrophages via the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. These findings helped to elucidate the immunemodulatory properties of the polysaccharide from R. griseocarnosa. ARTICLE HISTORY

In Vivo and In Vitro Study of Immunostimulation by Leuconostoc lactis-Produced Gluco-Oligosaccharides

“…Alginate oligosaccharides enhance immunity in NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways [7]. Glucogalactomannan isolated from Cordyceps sinensis mycelium [23], and the purified polysaccharide isolated from Russula griseocarnosa , an edible mushroom [24], also exert immunostimulating effects on NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.…”

Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids of lotus ( Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) seed embryo inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage activation via suppression of Ca 2+ -CaM/CaMKII pathway

“…The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT, Gibco) was used to detect the cell viability (Chen et al, 2018). RAW264.7 cells at 5 × 10 5 cells/well were seeded in 96-well plates and treated with 0.1-10 μM of nine bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids (Neferine, Liensinine, Isoliensinine, Tetrandrine, Fangchinoline, Isotetrandrine, Cepharanthine, Dauricine, or Berbamine hydrochloride) in the presence or absence of LPS (1 μg/mL) in the serum-free medium for 24 h. After the medium was removed, the cells were incubated with MTT (0.25 mg/mL) for 4 h at 37°C.…”

Immunostimulatory activity of exopolysaccharides from probiotic Lactobacillus casei WXD030 strain as a novel adjuvant in vitro and in vivo

“…So the development of effective and safer adjuvants offers to promote the better prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines. There is growing evidence that many polysaccharides derived from higher plants or mushrooms as potential adjuvant due to their immunostimulatory activities and low toxicity (Chen et al, 2018;Mbow et al, 2010;Meng, Cheng, Han, Chen, & Wang, 2017). Meanwhile, microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) provide many beneficial physiological effects, such as anti-tumor activity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant activity (Khalil et al, 2018;Lenoir et al, 2016;Rochat et al, 2007;Schiffer et al, 2011).…”
