The biological activity of macrofungal polysaccharides (MFPS) depends on their structural features and is a topic of keen interest for researchers since long time. In this communication, we report a water soluble macrofungal heteropolysaccharide (MFPS1) with a molar weight of 145000 g/mol, obtained through alkali extraction, of the wild mushroom, Marasmiellus palmivorus, with significant immunomodulatory properties. In cancer, after the induction of metastasis, the anticancer immune system becomes unresponsive. By studying cytokine secretion and immune phenotyping, it was observed that MFPS1 reactivated the anticancer immune surveillance system. MFPS1 executed T-cell maturation and activation via M1Φ; and also stimulated natural killer (NK) cell and B-cell population. The entire immune activation pathway corroborates its anticancer activity. The RP-HPLC analysis of hydrolyzed MFPS1 showed arabinose, glucose, galactose and mannose as monosaccharide units. The proposed structure of repeating unit was established from methylation analysis, 1D- and 2D NMR study, HR-MS and MALDI-TOF MS analysis.

Fungal polysaccharides have demonstrated various biological functions such as antitumor, immune regulation, and antioxidant activities. It has also been reported to be beneficial in reshaping the immune system’s surveillance on tumor cells and in helping the immune system kill tumor cells. In this study, a melanoma mouse model was constructed, and a macrofungal polysaccharide (MFPS) extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus combined with Vemurafenib monoclonal antibody was used to study their effects against melanoma and its antitumor mechanism by using the lactate dehydrogenase release assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow typing assay. Results indicated that MFPS enhanced the inhibitory effect of Vemurafenib on tumor growth in melanoma-bearing mice and the secretion of cytokines IFN-γ and IL-12 in PBMCs of melanoma-bearing mice. In addition, the combination of MFPS1 and Vemurafenib can enhance the immunomodulatory activity of melanoma-bearing mice as well as elicit the activation and proliferation of B cells and T cells.
