The ongoing development of new production methods may lead to the commercialization of -acetyl chitooligosaccharides (NACOS), such as chitosan oligosaccharides (COS). The bioactivity of NACOS, although not well detailed, differs from that of COS, as they have more acetyl groups than COS. We used two enzymatically produced NACOS with different molecular compositions and six NACOS (NACOS1-6) with a single degree of polymerization to verify their immunomodulatory effects on the RAW264.7 macrophage cell line. We aimed to identify any differences between COS and various NACOS with a single degree of polymerization. The results showed that NACOS had similar immune enhancement effects on RAW264.7 cells as COS, including the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), phagocytotic activity, and the production of pro-inflammation cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α). However, unlike COS and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), NACOS1 and NACOS6 significantly inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production. Besides their immune enhancement effects, NACOS also significantly inhibited the LPS-induced RAW264.7 inflammatory response with some differences between various polymerization degrees. We confirmed that the NF-κB pathway is associated with the immunomodulatory effects of NACOS on RAW264.7 cells. This study could inform the application of NACOS with varying different degrees of polymerization in human health.
新生产方法的不断发展可能导致 - 乙酰壳寡糖(NACOS)的商业化,例如壳寡糖(COS)。NACOS 的生物活性虽然没有详细说明,但与 COS 不同,因为它们比 COS 具有更多的乙酰基。我们使用两种酶法生产的具有不同分子组成的 NACOS 和六种具有单一聚合度的 NACOS(NACOS1-6)来验证它们对 RAW264.7 巨噬细胞系的免疫调节作用。我们旨在确定 COS 和各种具有单一聚合度的 NACOS 之间的任何差异。结果表明,NACOS 对 RAW264.7 细胞具有与 COS 相似的免疫增强作用,包括活性氧(ROS)的产生、吞噬活性和促炎细胞因子(IL-1β、IL-6 和 TNF-α)的产生。然而,与 COS 和脂多糖(LPS)不同,NACOS1 和 NACOS6 显著抑制一氧化氮(NO)的产生。除了它们的免疫增强作用外,NACOS 还显著抑制 LPS 诱导的 RAW264.7 炎症反应,不同聚合度之间存在一些差异。我们证实 NF-κB 途径与 NACOS 对 RAW264.7 细胞的免疫调节作用有关。这项研究可以为不同聚合度的 NACOS 在人类健康中的应用提供信息。
