This study evaluated the immunostimulatory activity of curdlan oligosaccharides (GOS) in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressed mice and in RAW264.7 cells. GOS was able to stimulate the release of nitric oxide (NO), cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) and improve the phagocytic rate of peritoneal macrophages and RAW264.7 cells. It further enhanced immunoglobulins (Ig) release (IgG by 50.6%-74.7%, IgA by 31.3%-34.9%, IgM by 28.3%-66.7%), splenic lymphocyte proliferation (by 74.8%-91.3%), nature killer cells cytotoxicity (by 32.0%-49.6%), immunophenotypes of splenic lymphocytes (from 1.7 to 2.4, 2.2 and 2.7) in immunosuppressed mice. Compared with curdlan, higher immunostimulatory activity of GOS was found in CTX-treated mice. Moreover, GOS could activate nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways through toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and complement receptor 3 (CR3). These results indicated that GOS may be a favorable candidate of functional food in regulating immune responses.
本研究评估了出芽短梗霉多糖寡糖(GOS)在环磷酰胺(CTX)诱导的免疫抑制小鼠和 RAW264.7 细胞中的免疫刺激活性。GOS 能够刺激一氧化氮(NO)、细胞因子(IL-1β、IL-6 和 TNF-α)的释放,并提高腹腔巨噬细胞和 RAW264.7 细胞的吞噬率。它进一步增强了免疫球蛋白(Ig)的释放(IgG 增加 50.6%-74.7%,IgA 增加 31.3%-34.9%,IgM 增加 28.3%-66.7%)、脾淋巴细胞增殖(增加 74.8%-91.3%)、自然杀伤细胞细胞毒性(增加 32.0%-49.6%)、脾淋巴细胞免疫表型(从 1.7 增加到 2.4、2.2 和 2.7)在免疫抑制小鼠中。与出芽短梗霉相比,GOS 在 CTX 处理的小鼠中具有更高的免疫刺激活性。此外,GOS 可以通过 Toll 样受体 2(TLR2)和补体受体 3(CR3)激活核因子 kappa-轻链增强子的 B 细胞激活(NF-κB)和丝裂原激活蛋白激酶(MAPK)信号通路。这些结果表明,GOS 可能是一种调节免疫反应的功能性食品的候选物。
