Bacillus Calmette-Guérin polysaccharide and nucleic acid (BCG-PSN), extracted from , is an immunoregulatory medicine commonly used in clinic. However, the structural characteristics and potential pharmacological efficacy of the polysaccharides from BCG-PSN remain unclear. Herein, two polysaccharides (BCG-1 and BCG-2) were purified and their structures were characterized. Monosaccharide composition analysis combined with methylation analysis and NMR data indicated that BCG-1 and BCG-2 were an α-D-(1→4)-mannan with (1→2)-linked branches, and an α-D-(1→4)-glucan with (1→6)-linked branches, respectively. Herein, the mannan from BCG-PSN was first reported. Bioactivity assays showed that BCG-1 and BCG-2 dose-dependently and potently increased the production of inflammatory mediators (NO, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-10), as well as their mRNA expressions in RAW264.7 cells; both have similar or stronger effects compared with BCG-PSN injection. These data suggest that BCG-1 and BCG-2 are very likely the active ingredients of BCG-PSN.
卡介菌多糖核酸(BCG-PSN),来源于卡介菌,是一种临床上常用的免疫调节剂。然而,BCG-PSN 多糖的结构特点和潜在的药理作用尚不清楚。本研究从卡介菌中提取并分离得到两种多糖(BCG-1 和 BCG-2),并对其结构进行了表征。单糖组成分析结合甲基化分析和 NMR 数据表明,BCG-1 和 BCG-2 分别是一种具有(1→2)连接支链的α-D-(1→4)-甘露聚糖和一种具有(1→6)连接支链的α-D-(1→4)-葡聚糖。本研究首次报道了 BCG-PSN 中的甘露聚糖。活性测定结果表明,BCG-1 和 BCG-2 能够剂量依赖性地增强 RAW264.7 细胞中炎症介质(NO、TNF-α、IL-6、IL-1β 和 IL-10)的产生及其 mRNA 的表达,其作用与 BCG-PSN 注射液相似或更强。这些数据表明,BCG-1 和 BCG-2 很可能是 BCG-PSN 的有效成分。
