In this study, water-soluble polysaccharide from Arctium lappa was extracted, isolated and purified to be a fraction (ALP-1). Characterization of structure revealed that ALP-1 was a kind of fructan with a molecular weight of 5.12 × 10 Da. ALP-1 was composed of (2→ 1)-β-d-fructofuranose backbone linked to a terminal of (2 → 1)-α-d-glucopyranose at the non-reducing end and a (2 → 6)-β-d-fructofuranose branching. DSS-induced colitis mice were used to determine the inhibitory effects of ALP-1 on gut inflammation. Results indicated that ALP-1 could significantly ameliorate the dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) caused by colitis. Besides, as compared with model group, the abundance of Firmicutes, Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae and Lactobacillus were significantly increased with ALP-1 treatment. And ALP-1 could significantly inhibit the levels of Proteobacteria, Alcaligenaceae, Staphylococcusand and Bacteroidetes. Therefore, ALP-1 may be effective in protecting mice from DSS-induced colitis.
在这项研究中,从牛蒡中提取、分离和纯化了水溶性多糖,得到了一个馏分(ALP-1)。结构表征表明,ALP-1 是一种果聚糖,分子量为 5.12×10 Da。ALP-1 由(2→1)-β-d-吡喃果糖苷骨架与非还原端的(2→1)-α-d-吡喃葡萄糖连接,末端连接一个(2→6)-β-d-吡喃果糖支链。用 DSS 诱导结肠炎小鼠来确定 ALP-1 对肠道炎症的抑制作用。结果表明,ALP-1 可显著改善结肠炎引起的促炎细胞因子(IL-1β、IL-6 和 TNF-α)和抗炎细胞因子(IL-10)的失调。此外,与模型组相比,ALP-1 处理可显著增加厚壁菌门、瘤胃球菌科、毛螺菌科和乳杆菌的丰度。并且,ALP-1 可显著抑制变形菌门、产碱杆菌科、葡萄球菌和拟杆菌门的水平。因此,ALP-1 可能对保护小鼠免受 DSS 诱导的结肠炎有效。
