In this study, four purified fractions (CLGP1, CLGP2, CLGP3 and CLGP4) were prepared from green seaweed Caulerpa lentillifera. They were identified to be a novel kind of xylogalactomanans, differed in molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, and the content of uronic acids and sulfate groups, leading to various ζ-potential, ultrastructure and immunostimulatory activity. Especially, CLGP4 was quite different from the others, as it was found to be a homogeneous heteropolysaccharide composed of Xyl, Man and Gal in a percentage ratio of 1.00:2.15:2.40 with 3877.8kDa. Moreover, CLGP4 contained minor uronic acids (2.37%±0.94%) and the highest sulfate content (21.26%±1.22%). These differences in structural features had an effect on the ζ-potential and ultrastructure of CLGP4, showing rod-, rubble- and ellipsoid-shaped particles with largest negatively charge. In vitro immunostimulatory activity evaluation revealed that all the four fractions significantly stimulated macrophages, but CLGP4 showed more potent immunostimulatory activity due to its stronger function on promoting proliferation of macrophages, enhancing phagocytosis, NO production and acid phosphatase activity in macrophages. Therefore, CLGP4 could be explored as a natural immunomodulator. These results would help a fully exploition of Caulerpa lentillifera polysaccharides recognized as health-improving ingredients in functional foods.
在这项研究中,从绿藻石莼中制备了四个纯化部分(CLGP1、CLGP2、CLGP3 和 CLGP4)。它们被鉴定为一种新型的木半乳甘露聚糖,分子量、单糖组成以及糖醛酸和硫酸根含量不同,导致ζ-电位、超微结构和免疫刺激活性也不同。特别是,CLGP4 与其他三种成分有很大的不同,因为它被发现是一种均相杂多糖,由 Xyl、Man 和 Gal 组成,摩尔比为 1.00:2.15:2.40,分子量为 3877.8kDa。此外,CLGP4 含有少量的糖醛酸(2.37%±0.94%)和最高的硫酸根含量(21.26%±1.22%)。这些结构特征的差异影响了 CLGP4 的 ζ-电位和超微结构,表现出棒状、块状和椭圆形颗粒,带最大的负电荷。体外免疫刺激活性评价表明,所有四个部分均能显著刺激巨噬细胞,但 CLGP4 表现出更强的免疫刺激活性,因为它能更有效地促进巨噬细胞的增殖,增强巨噬细胞的吞噬作用、NO 产生和酸性磷酸酶活性。因此,CLGP4 可以作为一种天然免疫调节剂进行探索。这些结果将有助于充分开发石莼多糖,将其作为功能性食品中改善健康的成分。
