Structure and antitumor activity of the extracellular polysaccharides from Aspergillus aculeatus via apoptosis and cell cycle arrest
Glycoconjugate Journal 33(6) (2016) 975-984
 

Two extracellular polysaccharides, designated as WPA and WPB, were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus aculeatus using Q-Sepharose fast flow and Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography. WPA composed of mannose and galactose in a molar ratio of 3.9:1.0, and WPB mainly contained mannose. The molecular weight of WPA and WPB was about 28.1 kDa and 21.0 kDa, respectively. On the basis of methylation and NMR analysis, the possible main chain of WPA was [→5)-β-D-Galf-(1→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→], and WPB was mainly [→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→], both with [α-D-Manp(1→2)-α-D-Manp(1→2)-α-D-Manp(1→] substituted at C-2 of [→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→]. Meanwhile, WPA displayed a stronger anti-proliferative effect than WPB on HeLa, MCF-7 and MGC-803 cells in vitro. WPA and WPB could arrest HeLa cells in G2/M phase and induce HeLa cells apoptosis. Thus, our study provides evidence that WPA and WPB may be taken as potential candidates for treating cervical carcinoma.

Effect of the structural characterization of the fungal polysaccharides on their immunomodulatory activity
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 164 (2020) 3603-3610
 

The immunomodulatory effects of the four extracellular polysaccharides, namely WPA, WPB, AP2A, and TP1A, which were isolated from the fermented broth of Aspergillus aculeatus, A. terreus and Trichoderma sp. KK19L1, were investigated in vitro. WPA, WPB, AP2A, and TP1A were not toxic to RAW264.7 cells. These polysaccharides enhanced cell viability. WPA, WPB, AP2A, and TP1A showed increased immunomodulatory effect by strengthening the phagocytic activity and enhancing the release of NO, TNF-α and IL-6 from RAW264.7 cells. WPA, WPB, AP2A, and TP1A exhibited different immunomodulatory activity in vitro due to their different structural characterizations, and their immunoregulatory effects decreased successively in the following order: WPA, WPB, AP2A, and TP1A. The extracellular polysaccharides WPA, WPB, AP2A, and TP1A had potent immunomodulatory effects and could be used as potential immunomodulatory agents in the fields of functional food and medicine.
