Four novel Mesona chinensis Benth polysaccharides were isolated using aqueous alcohol precipitation. Their molecular weights were determined using high-performance gel permeation chromatography: MA1 (2.3 kDa), MA2 (80.5 kDa), MA3 (180.9 kDa), and MA4 (635.2 kDa), and their compositions were analyzed using GC-MS. The polysaccharides were mainly D-glucose, D-galactose, L-Rhamnose, D-arabinose, D-xylose, and D-mannose. The structural characteristics were further analyzed using infrared spectrophotometry and were identified as a type of pyrrhic sugar. An insulin-induced insulin resistance model of HepG2 cells and oleic acid-induced fat accumulation model of insulin were established to evaluate the hypolipidemic effects. Three Bacteroides spp. [Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (BT), B. ovatus (BO), and B. cellulosilyticus (BC)] that were negatively correlated with lipid-lowering activity were used to evaluate the lipid-lowering activity of polysaccharides. The Bacteroides metabolites of MA1 and MA2 exhibited hypolipidemic effects and antioxidant activities and could potentially be used as lipid-lowering supplements.
四种新型菝葜多糖采用醇水溶液沉淀法分离得到。采用高效凝胶渗透色谱法测定其分子量:MA1(2.3 kDa)、MA2(80.5 kDa)、MA3(180.9 kDa)和 MA4(635.2 kDa),并通过 GC-MS 分析其组成。多糖主要由 D-葡萄糖、D-半乳糖、L-鼠李糖、D-阿拉伯糖、D-木糖和 D-甘露糖组成。进一步通过红外光谱分析结构特征,鉴定为吡喃糖型。建立胰岛素诱导的 HepG2 细胞胰岛素抵抗模型和油酸诱导的胰岛素脂肪蓄积模型,评价降血脂作用。使用三种与降脂活性呈负相关的拟杆菌属细菌[双歧杆菌(BT)、卵形拟杆菌(BO)和纤维二糖拟杆菌(BC)]评估多糖的降脂活性。MA1 和 MA2 的拟杆菌代谢物具有降血脂和抗氧化活性,可能可用作降血脂补充剂。
