Polysaccharide is one of the necessary macromolecules in life activities, and it is also a very promising natural product for tumor prevention and treatment. In this study, two homogeneous polysaccharides (APS-4I and APS-4II) were isolated from Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels. APS-4I was a linear glucan with molecular weight of 16.1 kDa, which was composed of 88.4% α-1,6-Glcp, 4.1% α-1,2-Glcp, 3.9% α-1,3-Glcp, and 2.8% α-T-Glcp. APS-4II was a novel polysaccharide with molecular weight of 11.1 kDa, which consisted of 55.4% α-1,6-Glcp, 10.4% α-1,3,5-Araf, 8.7% α-T-Araf, 9.2% α-1,5-Araf, 4.0% α-1,3-Araf, 3.6% α-1,4-Galp, and 9.1% β-1,3-Galp. NMR results demonstrated that APS-4II has a backbone composed of →6)-α-Glcp-(1 → 6)-α-Glcp-(1 → 5)-α-Araf-. (1 → 5)-α-Araf-(1 → 3,5)-α-Araf-(1 → 3)-β-Galp-(1 → 3)-β-Galp-(1 → 4)-α-Galp-(1 → 3)-α-Araf-(1 → 3,5)-α-Araf-(1→. Both APS-4I and APS-4II inhibited the tumor growth of B16-bearing mice, and the suppressive effect of APS-4II reached 64.7 ± 7.3%. Meanwhile, there were higher lymphocyte numbers and the levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in peripheral blood of APS-4II-treated mice than those in APS-4I-treated mice. Furthermore, APS-4II showed a higher inhibitory effect on the proliferation of B16 cells and stronger promoting effects on the proliferation of splenocytes, the phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages, and the cytotoxicity of NK cells. These results demonstrated that APS-4II could be a promising therapeutic agent for melanoma.
多糖是生命活动中必需的大分子物质之一,也是一种极具潜力的天然产物,可用于预防和治疗肿瘤。本研究从当归中分离得到两种均一的多糖(APS-4I 和 APS-4II)。APS-4I 是一种分子量为 16.1 kDa 的线性葡聚糖,由 88.4%的α-1,6-Glcp、4.1%的α-1,2-Glcp、3.9%的α-1,3-Glcp 和 2.8%的α-T-Glcp 组成。APS-4II 是一种分子量为 11.1 kDa 的新型多糖,由 55.4%的α-1,6-Glcp、10.4%的α-1,3,5-Araf、8.7%的α-T-Araf、9.2%的α-1,5-Araf、4.0%的α-1,3-Araf、3.6%的α-1,4-Galp 和 9.1%的β-1,3-Galp 组成。NMR 结果表明,APS-4II 的骨架由→6)-α-Glcp-(1 → 6)-α-Glcp-(1 → 5)-α-Araf-(1 → 5)-α-Araf-(1 → 3,5)-α-Araf-(1 → 3)-β-Galp-(1 → 3)-β-Galp-(1 → 4)-α-Galp-(1 → 3)-α-Araf-(1 → 3,5)-α-Araf-(1 → 组成。APS-4I 和 APS-4II 均抑制 B16 荷瘤小鼠的肿瘤生长,APS-4II 的抑制率达到 64.7±7.3%。同时,APS-4II 处理组小鼠外周血中的淋巴细胞数量以及 IL-2、IFN-γ 和 TNF-α水平均高于 APS-4I 处理组。此外,APS-4II 对 B16 细胞的增殖抑制作用更强,对脾细胞增殖、腹腔巨噬细胞吞噬作用和 NK 细胞细胞毒性的促进作用更强。这些结果表明,APS-4II 可能是一种有前途的黑色素瘤治疗药物。
