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.

Structural identification and antitumor activity of the extracellular polysaccharide from Aspergillus terreus
Process Biochemistry 51(10) (2016) 1714-1720
 

A water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide, AP2A, was purified from the culture medium of Aspergillus terreus. AP2A was mainly composed of mannose with the average molecular weight of about 30.3 kDa. By chemical, IR, GC/MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, the backbone of AP2A was found to be composed of [→3)-α-D-Manp(1→], [→6)-α-D-Manp(1→] and [→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→] with [α-D-Manp-(1→2)-α-D-Manp(1→] and [α-D-Manp-(1→] as branches substituted at the C-2 position of [→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→]. AP2A showed an anti-proliferative effect in vitro on HeLa and MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Flow cytometry showed that AP2A inhibited HeLa cell proliferation by arresting cell cycle in G2/M phase, and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay indicated that AP2A could also induce HeLa cells apoptosis. These results suggest that the extracellular polysaccharide, AP2A from Aspergillus terreus, has possible chemotherapeutic applications.
