A Se-enriched Grifola Frondosa Polysaccharide Induces Macrophage Activation by TLR4-mediated MAPK Signaling Pathway.
International journal of biological macromolecules(2023)
摘要
Se-polysaccharide (Se-GFP-22) from Se-enriched Grifola frondosa has double and cooperative activities of polysaccharide and Se. To delineate the underlying mechanism and signaling cascade involved in immune-stimulatory property of Se-GFP-22, the production of cellular mediators and key proteins in signaling pathway was examined. Results showed that Se-GFP-22 exhibited no cytotoxic and had a high capacity to promote macrophage phagocytosis, up-regulate interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and nitric oxide (NO) productions, as well as the relative messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions. In Se-GFP-22-induced macrophages, intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly increased to protect cells from oxidative injury. However, Se-GFP-22 induced macrophage activation was suppressed when the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway was blocked by a specific TLR4 inhibitor. According to the western blot analysis and the use of specific inhibitors against the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway, we speculated that Se-GFP-22 activated RAW264.7 macrophages through the TLR4-mediated MAPK signaling pathway. This study provides a molecular basis for the potential of Se-GFP-22 as a novel immune-stimulatory agent.
