The present study investigated the structural characterization and immune regulation of a novel polysaccharide from Maerkang Lactarius deliciosus Gray. Chemical methods, high performance gel permeation chromatography, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to characterize the polysaccharide structure. The immunomodulatory abilities of the Maerkang L. deliciosus Gray polysaccharide (LDG-M) were also investigated. LDG-M was primarily composed of β-D-glucose and α-D-lyxose with the ratio of 2:1. The possible structure of LDG-M had a backbone of 1,6-linked-β-D-glucose and 1,4,6-linked-β-D-glucose, with branches primarily composed of one (1→4)-linked-α-D-lyxose residue. The immunoregulatory activity results demonstrated that LDG-M promoted the proliferation and phagocytosis of macrophages, and induced cytokine release. LDG-M also promoted the proliferation of B cells by affecting the G0/G1, S and G2/M phases. The present study introduced LDG-M as a valuable source with unique immunoregulatory properties.

Biological activity: polysaccharide could promote the proliferation and phagocytosis of macrophages, and induce cytokine (TNF-α and IL-6) release. It could also significantly promote the proliferative activity of B cells and promote B cells to enter S phase. Polysaccharide significantly enhanced the inhibitory activity of RAW264.7 cells on L929 cells, which further indicated that polysaccharide exhibited immunological activities
