AIMS: To isolate a new exopolysaccharide bioflocculant produced by the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum NUST06, and to characterize its chemical composition and expolysaccharide production relative to carbon source. METHODS AND RESULTS: Exopolysaccharide levels and biomass production by S. cellulosum NUST06 were analysed relative to carbon source. Glucose in the medium at a level of 3 g l(-1) completely inhibited cell growth and exopolysaccharide production, but low concentrations of glucose (1-2 g l(-1)) could stimulate cell utilization of starch. The chemical composition and flocculating activity of the NUST06 exopolysaccharide was investigated. The flocculant comprised 38.3% proteins and 58.5% carbohydrates, of which glucose, mannose and glucuronic acid were present at 51.3%, 39.2% and 10.5%, respectively. The flocculating activity of the NUST06 flocculant depended strongly on cations. CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to produce an exopolysaccharide bioflocculant by the strain NUST06 in a mineral salts medium using starch as a carbon source. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This strain may be advantageous for commercial bioflocculant production and may enrich existing knowledge of myxobacteria.  相似文献

Selenium-enriched exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Enterobacter cloacae Z0206 have been proven to possess effect on reducing blood glucose level in diabetic mice. To investigate the specific mechanism, we studied the effects of oral supply with EPS on skeletal muscle glucose transportation and consumption in high-fat-diet-induced diabetic KKAy mice. We found that EPS supplementation increased expressions of glucose transporter 4 (Glut4), hexokinase 2 (hk2), phosphorylation of AMP-activated kinase subunit α2 (pAMPKα2), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), and increased expression of characteristic protein of oxidative fibers such as troponin I and cytochrome c (Cytc). Furthermore, we found that EPS increased glucose uptake and expressions of pAMPKα2 and PGC-1α in palmitic acid (PA)-induced C2C12 cells. However, while EPS inhibited AMPKα2 with interference RNA (iRNA), effects of EPS on the improvement of glucose uptake diminished. These results indicated that EPS may improve skeletal muscle glucose uptake of diabetic KKAy mice through AMPKα2-PGC-1α pathway.  相似文献

One water-soluble polysaccharide ASP was purified from Acanthopanax senticosus and its physicochemical properties were confirmed by the combination of chemical and instrumental analysis. ASP administered orally at three doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight) could significantly decrease the concentration of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels except for high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level and the relative ratio (HDL/TC) in alloxan-induced diabetic mice, compared with the diabetic controls without drug treatment, comparable with that of diabetic mice treated with metformin. Furthermore, ASP could obviously increase the body weight and serum insulin level and reduce the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, especially at dose of 200 mg/kg. The data demonstrated ASP at the certain did often exhibit the optimal protective effect in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. It is promising that ASP may serve as a drug candidate or a healthcare food for diabetic therapy or protection.  相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of yeast extract (YE) concentration, temperature and pH on growth and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in a whey-based medium by Streptococcus thermophilus SY and to characterize the partially purified EPS. METHODS AND RESULTS: Factorial experiments and empirical model building were used to optimize fermentation conditions and the chemical composition, average molecular weight (MW) and rheological properties of aqueous dispersions of the EPS were determined. Exopolysaccharide production was growth associated and was higher (152 mg l(-1)) at pH 6.4 and 36 degrees C with 4 g l(-1) YE. High performance size exclusion chromatography of the partially purified EPS showed two peaks, with a weight average MW of 2 x 10(6) and 5 x 10(4), respectively. The EPS was a heteropolysaccharide, with a glucose : galactose : rhamnose ratio of 2 : 4.5 : 1. Its water dispersions had a pseudoplastic behaviour and showed a higher viscosity of xanthan solutions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The fermentation conditions and some properties of an EPS produced by Strep. thermophilus, a dairy starter organism, were described.  相似文献

Cordyceps sinensis, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, possesses anti-tumor, immunostimulant and antioxidant activities; however, the identities of active components have not been determined. In our previous study using antioxidant activity-guided fractionation [Li et al., 2003. A polysaccharide isolated from Cordyceps sinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine, protects PC12 cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced injury. Life Sci. 73, 2503-2513], a polysaccharide of molecular weight approximately 210kDa was isolated from cultured Cordyceps mycelia by ion-exchange and sizing chromatography. The isolated polysaccharide, named CSP-1, which has strong anti-oxidation activity, contains glucose, mannose and galactose in the ratio of 1:0.6:0.75. In the present study, we demonstrated the hypoglycemic effect of CSP-1 on normal and alloxan-diabetic mice and streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. The basal glucose level did not differ significantly among the normal mice. CSP-1 (at 200 and 400mg/kg body wt./day for 7 days, p.o.), however, significantly reduced the blood glucose level by 12.0+/-3.2% and 22.5+/-4.7% in normal mice, respectively (p<0.05). When administered at a dose of higher than 200mg/kg body wt. daily for 7 days, CSP-1 produced a significant drop in blood glucose level in both STZ-induced diabetic rats and alloxan-induced diabetic mice. The serum insulin levels in diabetic animals were also increased by administration of CSP-1 (p<0.05). CSP-1 with hypoglycemic properties increased circulating insulin level in diabetic animals, which suggests that CSP-1 may stimulate pancreatic release of insulin and/or reduce insulin metabolism.  相似文献

The hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effect of aqueous extract of Arachis hypogaea was investigated in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The extract caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease of fasting blood glucose of both normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats from 102.60 +/- 1.65 mg/dl to 88.79 +/- 0.94 mg/dl for normal and 189.0 +/- 30.79 mg/dl to 107.55 +/- 1.54 mg/dl for alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The extract also caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in both normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats.  相似文献

An extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) was recovered and purified from the culture fluid of a sheathed bacterium, Sphaerotilus natans. Glucose, rhamnose, and aldobiouronic acid were detected in the acid hydrolysate of EPS by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The aldobiouronic acid was found to be composed of glucuronic acid and rhamnose by TLC and gas-liquid chromatography analyses of the corresponding neutral disaccharide. The structure of EPS was identified by methylation linkage analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance. Additionally, partial acid hydrolysates of EPS were prepared and put through fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry to determine the sugar sequence of EPS. The resulting data showed that EPS produced by S. natans is a new gellan-like polysaccharide constructed from a tetrasaccharide repeating unit, as shown below. -->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->2)-beta-D-GlcA p-(1-->2)-alpha-L-Rha p-(1-->3)-beta-L-Rha p-(1-->.  相似文献

In this paper, the composition and biological activities of polysaccharides from Inula britannica flower IBP obtained by water extraction were investigated. The properties and chemical compositions of IBP were analyzed with HPLC and IR methods. The results showed that IBP consisted of two kinds of polysaccharides with the molecular weight of 3500Da, 700Da. IBP consisted of mannose, glucuronic acid, rhamnose, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, arabinose with a molar ratio of 4.1:1:1.4:2.7:14.6:6.3:7.9. The IR spectrum of IBP revealed the typical characteristics of polysaccharides and protein. IBP was administered orally at three doses [100, 200 and 400mg/kg body weight] for 14 days to the diabetic mice induced by alloxan. The body weight, plasma glucose, serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and liver glycogen were evaluated in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic mice. IBP could dose-dependently significantly increase the body weight of diabetic mice, and reverse the decrease of plasma glucose, glycogen and the decrease of blood lipid of diabetic mice as compared to those in control group. These results indicated that IBP could be developed to a potential anti-diabetic drug in the future.  相似文献

The extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) was isolated from mycelial cultures of Laetiporus sulphureus var. miniatus and purified by DEAE cellulose and Sephadex G-50 column chromatography. The purified EPS (EPS-2-1) was composed of only glucose units and its molecular mass was 6.95 kDa. The chemical structure of EPS-2-1 consisted of a main chain containing (1-->4)-Glcp units with branches at the C-6 position of the chain carrying -Glcp-(1-->4)-linked residues. The effect of purified EPS on immunomodulatory genes and proteins of the Bcl-2 family was observed using cultured U937 human leukemia cells. Of note, the levels of Bax and Bad proteins treated with the EPS (4 mg/ml) were approximately 23- and 18-times higher than those in non-treated cells, respectively. These results may suggest that the EPS purified from the mushroom L. sulphureus is associated with the activation of immunomodulatory mediators, Bax and Bad proteins.  相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists potentiate glucose-induced insulin secretion. In addition, they have been reported to increase pancreatic beta cell mass in diabetic rodents. However, the precise mode of action of GLP-1 receptor agonists still needs to be elucidated. Here we clarify the effects of the human GLP-1 analog liraglutide on beta cell fate and function by using an inducible Cre/loxP-based pancreatic beta cell tracing system and alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Liraglutide was subcutaneously administered once daily for 30 days. The changes in beta cell mass were examined as well as glucose tolerance and insulin secretion. We found that chronic liraglutide treatment improved glucose tolerance and insulin response to oral glucose load. Thirty-day treatment with liraglutide resulted in a 2-fold higher mass of pancreatic beta cells than that in vehicle group. Liraglutide increased proliferation rate of pancreatic beta cells and prevented beta cells from apoptotic cells death. However, the relative abundance of YFP-labeled beta cells to total beta cells was no different before and after liraglutide treatment, suggesting no or little contribution of neogenesis to the increase in beta cell mass. Liraglutide reduced oxidative stress in pancreatic islet cells of alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Furthermore, the beneficial effects of liraglutide in these mice were maintained two weeks after drug withdrawal. In conclusion, chronic liraglutide treatment improves hyperglycemia by ameliorating beta cell mass and function in alloxan-induced diabetic mice.  相似文献

The structure of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Burkholderia brasiliensis, a diazotrophic endophytic organism originally isolated from rice roots, has been determined. The bacterium was grown in a synthetic medium, containing mannitol and glutamate, which favours the expression of two anionic EPSs, which were separated by anion-exchange chromatography. The structure of the repeat unit of EPS A, eluted at higher ionic strength, was determined by a combination of methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, chemical degradations, and NMR spectroscopic studies, and shown to be the linear O-acetylated pentasaccharide: -->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->2)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GlcpA-(1-->3)-beta-L-Rhap[2OAc]-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->.  相似文献

Streptococcus thermophilus Sfi6 produces an exopolysaccharide (EPS) composed of glucose, galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine in the molar ratio of 1:2:1. The genes responsible for the EPS biosynthesis have been isolated previously and found to be clustered in a 14.5 kb region encoding 13 genes. Transfer of this gene cluster into a non-EPS-producing heterologous host, Lactococcus lactis MG1363, yielded an EPS with a similar high molecular weight, but a different structure from the EPS from the native host. The structure of the recombinant EPS was determined by means of 1H homonuclear and 1H-13C heteronuclear two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and was found to be --> 3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-Galp-(1 --> as opposed to --> 3)[alpha-D-Galp-(1 --> 6)]-beta-D-Glcp-(1 --> 3)-alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-Galp-(1 --> for the wild-type S. thermophilus Sfi6. Furthermore, L. lactis MG1363 (pFS101) was also lacking a UDP-N-acetylglucosamine C4-epimerase activity, which would provide UDP-GalNAc for a GalNAc incorporation into the EPS and probably caused the substitution of GalNAc by Gal in the recombinant EPS. This modification implies that (i) bacterial glycosyltransferases could potentially have multiple specificities for the donor and the acceptor sugar molecule; and (ii) the repeating unit polymerase can recognize and polymerize a repeating unit that differs in the backbone as well as in the side-chain from its native substrate.  相似文献

Berberine (BBR) was previously found to have beneficial effects on renal injury in experimental diabetic rats. However, the mechanisms underlying the effects are not fully understood. Sphingosine kinase-Sphingosine 1-phosphate (SphK-S1P) signaling pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of BBR on renal injury and the activation of SphK-S1P signaling pathway in alloxan-induced diabetic mice with nephropathy. Alloxan-induced diabetic mice were treated orally with BBR (300 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 12 weeks. BBR inhibited the increases in fasting blood glucose, kidney/body weight ratio, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and 24-h albuminuria in diabetic mice. It also prevented renal hypertrophy, TGF-β1 synthesis, FN and Col IV accumulation. Moreover, BBR down-regulated the elevated staining, activity and levels of mRNA and protein of SphK1, and S1P production as well. These findings suggest that the inhibitory effect of BBR on the activation of SphK-S1P signaling pathway in diabetic mouse kidney is a novel mechanism by which BBR partly exerts renoprotective effects on DN.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of moderate-intensity static magnetic field (SMF) on diabetic mice. We studied the effects of SMF on blood glucose of normal mice by starch tolerance and glucose tolerance tests. Then, we evaluated the effects of SMF on blood glucose of diabetic mice by establishing alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic mice and high-fat diet + streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic mice. The results showed that different magnetic field intensities and blank control did not affect the blood glucose of normal mice. After starch and glucose administration, different magnetic fields could improve the glucose tolerance of normal mice, and this was obvious in the 600 mT group. In the experiment of type 1 diabetic mice induced by alloxan, the results showed that different magnetic field intensities could improve the starch tolerance of mice, and that in the 400 mT group was obvious. In the experiment of type 2 diabetic mice induced by a high-fat diet + STZ, the 400 mT group could reduce food intake and water consumption in the later period. The 600 mT group could improve the starch tolerance of mice. The 400 and 600 mT groups could reduce fasting blood glucose. At the same time, total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased in different magnetic field intensities, and the 600 mT group could significantly increase the serum insulin content of mice. In summary, the results of this study suggest that SMF has a protective role in diabetic mice. Bioelectromagnetics. © 2020 Bioelectromagnetics Society  相似文献

The structure of the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) produced by the Rhizobium sp. B strain isolated from atypical nodules on alfalfa has been determined using a combination of chemical and physical techniques (methylation analysis, high pH-anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC), mass spectrometry and 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopy). As opposed to the EPS from other strains of Rhizobium, the EPS from the sp. B strain contains D-Glc together with L-Rha and 2-deoxy-D-arabino-hexuronic acid. It is a polymer of a repeating unit having the following structure: --> 4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1 --> 4)-alpha-L-Rhap -(1 --> 3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1 --> 4)-2-deoxy-beta-D-GlcpA-(1 -->. The polysaccharide also contains 0.6 O-acetyl groups per sugar which have not been located.  相似文献

There is increasing evidence indicating that inflammatory processes are involved in the development and progression of diabetic complications. However, effective anti-inflammatory treatments for patients who have diabetic complications have yet been practically identified. Curcumin is a main component of Curcuma longa with numerous pharmacological activities. Previously, we synthesized a novel curcumin analogue (B06) that exhibited an improved pharmacokinetic and enhanced anti-inflammatory activity compared to curcumin. The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that B06 may reduce high-glucose-induced inflammation and inflammation-mediated diabetic complications. In vitro, pretreatment with B06 at a concentration of 5 μM significantly reduced the high-glucose-induced overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. This anti-inflammatory activity of B06 is associated with its inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase/nuclear factor κB activation. In vivo, despite that B06 administration at 0.2 mg·kg? 1·d? 1 for 6 weeks did not affect the blood glucose profile of diabetic rats, the B06-treated animals displayed significant decreases in inflammatory mediators in the serum, kidney, and heart and renal macrophage infiltration. This was accompanied with an attenuation of diabetes-induced structural and functional abnormalities in the kidney and heart. Taken together, these data suggest that the novel derivative B06 might be a potential therapeutic agent for diabetic complications via an anti-inflammatory mechanism and support the potential application in diabetic complication therapy via anti-inflammatory strategy.  相似文献

Hypoglycemic activity of bio-tea in mice   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Administration of bio-tea (1.71 ml/kg) to normal albino mice caused hypoglycemia after 30 min which reached to maximum after 2 hr with a significant decrease in blood sugar level (BSL) and became normal beyond 8 hr. In alloxan-induced diabetic albino mice, repeated treatments of bio-tea for 3 days (five doses) brought about a significant fall in mean BSL. Continuous decrease in BSL was observed after 4 hr of administration of last dose of bio-tea. Hypoglycemic effect was persistent in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Effect on glucose tolerance test showed a significant fall in BSL of bio-tea treated animals after 1 hr of glucose treatment indicating hypoglycemic effect of bio-tea.  相似文献
