Polysaccharides from exhibit a variety of biological activities. Here, we obtained a homogeneous branched β-1,6-glucan (APEP-A-b) from the fruiting bodies of and investigated its effect on immunity and gut microbiota. Our results showed that APEP-A-b significantly increases splenic lymphocyte proliferation, NK cell activity and phagocytic capacity of peritoneal cavity phagocytes. Furthermore, we found that the proportion of CD4 and CD8 T cells in lamina propria are significantly increased upon APEP-A-b treatment. Additionally, APEP-A-b supplementation demonstrated pronounced changes in microbiota reflected in promotion of relative abundances of species in the Lachnospiraceae and Rikenellaceae families. Consistently, APEP-A-b significantly increased the concentration of acetic and butyric acid in cecum contents. Overall, our results suggest that β-1,6-glucan from P. eryngii might enhance immunity by modulating microbiota. These results are important for the processing and product development of P. eryngii derived polysaccharides.
杏鲍菇多糖具有多种生物活性。在这里，我们从杏鲍菇子实体中得到了一种均一的支链β-1,6-葡聚糖（APEP-A-b），并研究了其对免疫和肠道微生物群的影响。我们的结果表明，APEP-A-b 可显著增加脾淋巴细胞增殖、NK 细胞活性和腹腔吞噬细胞的吞噬能力。此外，我们发现 APEP-A-b 处理后，固有层中 CD4 和 CD8 T 细胞的比例明显增加。此外，APEP-A-b 的补充显著改变了微生物群，促进了 Lachnospiraceae 和 Rikenellaceae 科的相对丰度。一致地，APEP-A-b 显著增加了盲肠内容物中乙酸和丁酸的浓度。总的来说，我们的结果表明，杏鲍菇来源的β-1,6-葡聚糖可能通过调节微生物群来增强免疫力。这些结果对杏鲍菇多糖的加工和产品开发具有重要意义。
