The inhibitory effects of purified fractions isolated from guava seed polysaccharides (GSPS) including guava seed polysaccharide fraction 1 (GSF1), GSF2, and GSF3 on prostate cancer cells remain unclear. To clarify the anti-prostate cancer potential, GSPS, GSF1, GSF2, and GSF3 were isolated using Sepharose 6B gel filtration chromatography to assay their inhibitory effects on prostate PC-3 cell growth with direct action or indirect immunotherapy using either splenocyte conditioned media (SCM) or macrophage conditioned media (MCM). Correlations between cytokine profiles in the conditioned media and pro-apoptotic gene expression levels in the corresponding treated PC-3 cells were analyzed. Results showed that GSPS, GSF1, GSF2, and GSF3, particularly GSF3, through either direct action or indirect treatments using SCM or MCM, significantly ( < 0.05) inhibited PC-3 cell growth. GSF3 direct treatments increased pro-apoptotic Bax/anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 mRNA expression ratios in corresponding treated PC-3 cells. Either SCM or MCM cultured with GSF3 increased Fas mRNA expression levels in corresponding treated PC-3 cells. Both Th2-polarized and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 either secreted in SCM or MCM were positively correlated with Fas mRNA expression levels in corresponding treated PC-3 cells. Our results suggest that GSF3 is a potent biological response modifier to decrease PC-3 cell growth through inducing apoptosis.
从番石榴籽多糖(GSPS)中分离出的纯化级分对前列腺癌细胞的抑制作用尚不清楚,包括番石榴籽多糖 1 级分(GSF1)、GSF2 和 GSF3。为了阐明抗前列腺癌的潜力,使用 Sepharose 6B 凝胶过滤层析法从 GSPS、GSF1、GSF2 和 GSF3 中分离,以检测它们对前列腺 PC-3 细胞生长的直接作用或间接免疫治疗的抑制作用,分别使用脾细胞条件培养基(SCM)或巨噬细胞条件培养基(MCM)。分析了条件培养基中的细胞因子谱与相应处理的 PC-3 细胞中促凋亡基因表达水平之间的相关性。结果表明,GSPS、GSF1、GSF2 和 GSF3,特别是 GSF3,通过直接作用或使用 SCM 或 MCM 的间接处理,显著(<0.05)抑制 PC-3 细胞生长。GSF3 直接处理增加了相应处理的 PC-3 细胞中促凋亡 Bax/抗凋亡 Bcl-2 mRNA 表达比。用 GSF3 培养的 SCM 或 MCM 均增加了相应处理的 PC-3 细胞中 Fas mRNA 表达水平。SCM 或 MCM 中分泌的 Th2 极化和抗炎细胞因子 IL-10 与相应处理的 PC-3 细胞中 Fas mRNA 表达水平呈正相关。我们的结果表明,GSF3 是一种有效的生物反应调节剂,通过诱导细胞凋亡来降低 PC-3 细胞的生长。
