The present study aimed to explore the improvement of the bioactivity of ginger peel polysaccharides (GPs) by the modification of zinc after structural characterization. The obtained GP-Zn (II) complexes consisted dominantly of glucose and galactose in a mass proportion of 95.10:2.10, with a molecular weight of 4.90 × 10 Da and a Zn content of 21.17 mg/g. The chelation of GPs and Zn (II) was mainly involved in the O-H of hydroxyl groups, and this interaction reduced the crystallinity and decreased the asymmetry of GPs, with a slight effect on the thermal stability. The administration of GPs and their Zn (II) complexes effectively alleviated CuSO-induced inflammatory response in zebrafish (: ) down-regulating the mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12 and TNF-) and upregulating the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10). Furthermore, the modification of Zn (II) enhanced the inflammation-inhibiting effect of polysaccharides. Therefore, GP-Zn (II) complexes could be applied as a candidate anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of chronic inflammation-related diseases.
本研究旨在通过锌修饰对姜皮多糖(GPs)进行结构表征后,探索其生物活性的改善情况。所获得的GP-Zn(II)络合物主要由葡萄糖和半乳糖组成,质量比为95.10:2.10,分子量为4.90×10 Da,锌含量为21.17 mg/g。GPs与Zn(II)的螯合主要涉及羟基的O-H,这种相互作用降低了GPs的结晶度,减少了其不对称性,对热稳定性影响较小。给予GPs及其Zn(II)络合物可有效减轻硫酸铜诱导的斑马鱼炎症反应(: ),下调促炎细胞因子(IL-1、IL-6、IL-8、IL-12和TNF-)的mRNA表达水平,上调抗炎细胞因子(IL-10)的表达。此外,Zn(II)修饰增强了多糖的抗炎作用。因此,GP-Zn(II)络合物可作为治疗慢性炎症相关疾病的候选抗炎剂。
