Lycium barbarum polysaccharide protects human keratinocytes against UVB-induced photo-damage

Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation plays a key role in skin damage, which induces oxidative and inflammatory damages, thereby causing photoaging or photocarcinogenesis. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP), the most biologically active fraction of wolfberry, possesses significant antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects on multiple tissues. In the present study, the photoprotective effects and potential underlying molecular mechanisms of LBP against UVB-induced photo-damage were investigated in immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). The data indicated that pretreatment with LBP significantly attenuated UVB-induced decrease in cell viability, increase in ROS production and DNA damage. LBP also significantly suppressed UVB-induced p38 MAPK activation, and subsequently reversed caspase-3 activation and MMP-9 expression. Notably, LBP was found to induce Nrf2 nuclear translocation and increase the expression of Nrf2-dependent ARE target genes. Furthermore, the protective effects of LBP were abolished by siRNA-mediated Nrf2 silencing. These results showed that the antioxidant LBP could partially protect against UVB irradiation-induced photo-damage through activation of Nrf2/ARE pathway, thereby scavenging ROS and reducing DNA damage, and subsequently suppressing UVB-induced p38 MAP pathway. Thus, LBP can be potentially used for skincare against oxidative damage from environmental insults.

Glycerogalactolipids from the fruit of Lycium barbarum

Four glycerogalactolipids (1-4), together with 11 other previously known homologues were isolated from the fruit of Lycium barbarum. Their structures were elucidated by chemical analyses including regio-selective enzymatic, alkaline and acidic hydrolyses and spectroscopic methods involving GCMS, HRESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR, respectively.     

Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects and antioxidant activity of fruit extracts from Lycium barbarum

The hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Lycium barbarum fruit water decoction, crude polysaccharide extracts (crude LBP), and purified polysaccharide fractions (LBP-X) in alloxan-induced diabetic or hyperlipidemic rabbits were investigated through designed sequential trials and by measuring blood glucose and serum lipid parameters. Total antioxidant capacity was also assessed using trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. It was found that the three Lycium barbarum fruit extracts/fractions could significantly reduce blood glucose levels and serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations and at same time markedly increase high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) levels after 10 days treatment in tested rabbits, indicating that there were substantial hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. Hypoglycemic effect of LBP-X was more significant than those of water decoction and crude LBP, but its hypolipidemic effect seemed to be weaker. Total antioxidant capacity assay showed that all three Lycium barbarum extracts/fractions possessed antioxidant activity. However, water and methanolc fruit extracts and crude polysaccharide extracts exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than purified polysaccharide fractions because crude extracts were identified to be rich in antioxidants (e.g., carotenoids, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, thiamine, nicotinic acid). Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (glycocojugates), containing several monosaccharides and 17 amino acids, were major bioactive constituents of hypoglycemic effect. Both polysaccharides and vitamin antioxidants from Lycium barbarum fruits were possible active principles of hypolipidemic effect.     

枸杞多糖对鲤生长性能和肝胰脏抗氧化能力的影响

Polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum leaves: Isolation, characterization and splenocyte proliferation activity

The polysaccharides from the fruits of Lycium barbarum have received considerable attention in previous publication, but the polysaccharides from the leaves were rarely reported. In the present work, four water-soluble polysaccharide fractions: LBP-I, LBP-II, LBP-III and LBP-IV isolated from L. barbarum leaves were purified through DEAE-Sephadex A-25. LBP-II and LBP-IV respectively showed one symmetrical peak on HPGPC with average molecular weight of 9.39×10(4)Da and 4.18×10(5)Da. UV and IR analysis of the two fractions showed the characteristics of acidic polysaccharides combined with polypeptides or proteins. GC analysis showed LBP-IV was mainly composed of rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, glucose and galactose with molar ratio of 1.61:3.82:3.44:7.54:1.00, and the uronic acid content was 47.68% (w/w) determined by sulfuric acid-carbazole method. (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of LBP-IV also showed the presence of carboxyl carbon and five anomeric carbons, and suggested there may be both α- and β-anomeric configurations in this fraction. Moreover, splenocyte proliferation activity assay showed that LBP-IV significantly enhanced the proliferation of splenocyte stimulated by ConA or LPS, indicating the fraction has the beneficial effect on immunostimulating activity.     

Antioxidant activity of sulfated polysaccharide fractions extracted from Laminaria japonica

Fucoidan, a group of sulfated heteropolysaccharide, was extracted from Laminaria japonica, an important economic alga species in China. Three sulfated polysaccharide fractions (F1, F2, and F3) were successfully isolated through anion-exchange column chromatography and had their antioxidant activities investigated employing various established in vitro systems, including superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, chelating ability, and reducing power. Chemical analysis suggested that F1 and F3 were heteropolysaccharide in which galactose was the major component, while F2 was a typical fucoidan. All fractions possessed considerable antioxidant activity, and F1, F2 and F3 had stronger antioxidant ability than fucoidan in certain tests. The correlation between the sulfate content and scavenging superoxide radical ability was positive. Available data obtained with in vitro models suggested that the ratio of sulfate content/fucose was an effective indicator to antioxidant activity of the samples.     

Immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharide isolated from Angelica sinensis

The immunomodulatory activities of an Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (AP), purified from the fresh root of A. sinensis Diels, were investigated in vitro in relation to the specificity to immune cells. AP consisted of rhamnose, arabinose, mannose, glucose, galactose with the molar ratio of 1.00:4.54:2.98:11.09:7.45. Cell proliferation results showed that proliferation of total spleen cells, macrophages and T cells were promoted by the action of AP. The treatment of AP increased the production of IL-2 and IFN-γ, while that of IL-4 was decreased. RT-PCR analysis displayed that the IL-2 and IFN-γ gene expression were enhanced but the IL-4 gene expression was decreased. Some differences in cytokines secretion pattern were also detected, the expression of IFN-γ was rapidly augmented while that of IL-2 responded later. The flow cytometry results showed that the percentage of CD4⁺T cell in total spleen cells was remarkably increased by AP, while that of CD8⁺T cell was slightly decreased. In conclusion, AP has immunomodulatory activity by regulating expression of Th1 and Th2 related cytokines. The time–effect relation of cytokines response also suggests that macrophages and natural killer cells involved in nonspecific immunity were primary activated, and helper T cell were secondarily affected by AP.     

In vitro anti-herpetic activity of sulfated polysaccharide fractions from Caulerpa racemosa

A sulfated polysaccharide fraction was isolated from the hot water extract of the green alga Caulerpa racemosa and designated HWE. This polymer, which contained galactose, glucose, arabinose and xylose as the major component sugars, had [alpha](D)(30) + 46.2 degrees in water and contained 9% sulfate hemiester groups. Sugar linkage analysis indicates that HWE was branched and mainly contained 1,3- and 1,3,6-linked galactose, 1,3,4-linked arabinose, 1,4-linked glucose and terminal- and 1,4-linked xylose residues. Sulfation was deduced from infrared spectroscopy and methylation analysis to occur on O-6 of galactose and O-3 of arabinose. The native polysaccharide could be fractionated by size exclusion chromatography into two overlapping fractions and the major fraction has a hydrodynamic volume similar to that of 70 kDa dextran. HWE was a selective inhibitor of reference strains and TK(-) acyclovir-resistant strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) in Vero cells, with antiviral effective concentration 50% (EC(50)) values in the range of 2.2-4.2 microg/ml and lacking cytotoxic effects. Furthermore, HWE did not exhibit anticoagulant properties at concentrations near the EC(50).

Immune-stimulating activity of water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide isolated from Rhizobium massiliae

The aim of this study is to investigate biochemical properties of water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide (WSP) from a novel bacterial strain designated to CA-1 and classified to Rhizobium massiliae by 16S rDNA sequence determination and homology analysis. The main composition of WSP was determined to be glucose by HPAEC. We evaluated immunomodulatory effects of WSP on RAW 264.7 macrophage activation. The results showed that the WSP dose-dependently induced the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. In addition, WSP induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and increased the production of nitric oxide (NO). Intriguingly, WSP remarkably increased the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor- 2 (TLR-2) and the phosphorylation of MAPKs (ERK, JNK and p38) in RAW 264.7 cells. These results indicated that WSP activates macrophages to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines and induces iNOS expression via the activation of the TLR-2/MAPKs signaling pathways. Conclusively, we suggest that WSP of R. massiliae CA-1 can be a new immunomodulatory enhancing the early innate immunity.

Antioxidative activity of resveratrol and its derivatives isolated from seeds of Paeonia lactiflora

Seven stilbenes, a new cis-epsilon-viniferin and the six known stilbenes, trans-resveratrol, trans-resveratrol-4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, trans-epsilon-viniferin, gnetin H, and suffruticosol A and B, were isolated and identified from seeds of Paeonia lactiflora. The antioxidative activity of these stilbene derivatives was evaluated against the 2-deoxyribose degradation and rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation induced by the hydroxyl radical generated via a Fenton-type reaction. Among these stilbenes, trans-epsilon-viniferin and gnetin H significantly inhibited 2-deoxyribose degradation and lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. In addition, cis-epsilon-viniferin, and suffruticosol A and B also exhibited moderate antioxidative activity. These results suggest that resveratrol dimers and trimers, together with resveratrol from seeds of Paeonia lactiflora may be useful as potential sources of natural antioxidants.
