Jerusalem artichoke ( L.) polysaccharide (JAP) is a chain polysaccharide composed of D-fructose connected by (1-2) glycosidic bonds, which is a kind of inulin. This study evaluated the anti-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity of JAP in and in . To investigate its antiviral activity, an MTT assay, q-PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and lung histological observation were performed. The results showed that JAP showed anti-RSV activity in with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of approximately 29.15 g/mL. results suggested that JAP could effectively inhibit RSV proliferation in the lungs and improve lung tissue lesions in RSV-infected mice. Additionally, JAP could also reduce the expression of TLR3 and TLR4 in the lungs, increase serum anti-inflammatory factors IL-4 levels, and reduce pro-inflammatory factors TNF- and TNF- levels, which may be related to its anti-RSV activity. This study provides a new approach to anti-RSV therapy and enriches the potential applications of JAP.
菊芋( L.)多糖(JAP)是由通过(1-2)糖苷键连接的 D-果糖组成的链多糖,属于菊糖的一种。本研究评估了 JAP 在 和 中的抗呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)活性。为了研究其抗病毒活性,进行了 MTT 测定、q-PCR、酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和肺组织学观察。结果表明,JAP 在 中表现出抗 RSV 活性,半数最大抑制浓度(IC)约为 29.15 g/mL。 结果表明,JAP 可有效抑制 RSV 在肺部的增殖并改善 RSV 感染小鼠的肺组织损伤。此外,JAP 还可以降低肺部 TLR3 和 TLR4 的表达,增加血清抗炎因子 IL-4 水平,并降低促炎因子 TNF-和 TNF-水平,这可能与其抗 RSV 活性有关。本研究为抗 RSV 治疗提供了一种新方法,丰富了 JAP 的潜在应用。
