We prepared a beta-1,3-glucan oligomer (DP> or = 4) from laminarin (DP: 25-30) derived from Laminaria digitata with beta-1,3-glucanase, and examined its effect on human peripheral blood monocytes. Conditioned medium prepared by incubating monocytes (MC-CM) with the beta-1,3-glucan oligomer showed strong inhibitory activity against the proliferation of human leukemic U937 cells. Since the beta-1,3-glucan oligomer had no direct cytotoxic effect on U937 cells up to 1000 microg/ml, the cytotoxicity of the MC-CM may be due to cytotoxic cytokines produced from monocytes stimulated by the beta-1,3-glucan oligomer. On the other hand, the MC-CM prepared with original laminarin had little effect on the growth of U937 cells. The cytotoxicity of the MC-CM prepared with the beta-1,3-glucan oligomer was significantly reduced by an anti-TNF-alpha antibody, but the anti-TNF-beta antibody had no effect. Our results suggest that the enzymatically depolymerized beta-1,3-glucan oligomer induces TNF-alpha production from human monocytes.
我们用来源于掌状海带的海带多糖(聚合度:25 - 30),通过β-1,3-葡聚糖酶制备了一种β-1,3-葡聚糖低聚物(聚合度≥4),并检测了其对人外周血单核细胞的影响。用β-1,3-葡聚糖低聚物孵育单核细胞制备的条件培养基(MC-CM)对人白血病U937细胞的增殖表现出强烈的抑制活性。由于β-1,3-葡聚糖低聚物在浓度高达1000微克/毫升时对U937细胞没有直接的细胞毒性作用,MC-CM的细胞毒性可能归因于由β-1,3-葡聚糖低聚物刺激单核细胞产生的细胞毒性细胞因子。另一方面,用原始海带多糖制备的MC-CM对U937细胞的生长几乎没有影响。用抗TNF-α抗体可显著降低用β-1,3-葡聚糖低聚物制备的MC-CM的细胞毒性,但抗TNF-β抗体则没有作用。我们的结果表明,酶解解聚的β-1,3-葡聚糖低聚物可诱导人单核细胞产生TNF-α。
