Inhibitory effect of Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide on mitochondria oxidative stress induced by PCV-2 infection in RAW264.7 cells.

In the present study, the inhibitory effect of Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide (SSP) on PCV-2-induced mitochondrial respiratory burst in RAW264.7 cells was first investigated. The findings suggested that SOD activity and the anti-superoxide anion radical activity of the RAW264.

Effect of Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide on oxidative stress induced by PCV2 infection in RAW264.7 cells.

In this study, an oxidative stress model was first developed in a mouse macrophage cell line (RAW264.7 cells) by infecting the cells with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). The regulatory effect of Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide (SSP) on PCV2-induced oxidative stress was investigated.

Inhibitory effect of Sargassum polysaccharide on oxidative stress induced by infectious bursa disease virus in chicken bursal lymphocytes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of Sargassum polysaccharide on oxidative stress induced by infectious bursa disease virus (IBDV) in chicken bursal lymphocytes. The levels of IL-1β, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, MCP-1, reduced glutathione and reactive oxygen species in chicken bursal lymphocytes treated with IBDV or both IBDV and Sargassum polysaccharide were measured, and the activities of superoxide dimutase and glutathione peroxidase were evaluated. Our results showed that oxidative stress appeared when chicken bursal lymphocytes were incubated with IBDV for 8h at 100 TCID(50).

[Inhibitory action of Potentilla anserine polysaccharide fraction on H2O2-induced apoptosis of murine splenic lymphocytes].

A water-soluble polysaccharide fraction from root of Potentilla anserine was obtained. Gas chromatogram, FT-IR, physical and chemical characteristics of the Potentilla anserine polysaccharide fraction (PAPF) were analyzed. The protective effects of PAPF against the H2O2 induced process of apoptosis of murine splenic lymphocytes were investigated in vitro.

Immunomodulatory effect of a Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide in mice.

The aims of the present study were to investigate the immunomodulatory effect of a Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide (SSP1) on splenic lymphocyte proliferation, production of cytokines and antioxidant capacities in dexamethasone-induced immunosuppressed mice. The results showed that SSP1 stimulated proliferation and IFN-gamma secretion of murine splenic lymphocytes at concentrations of 50, 100, 200 or 400 mg/L in vitro. SSP1 increased the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in immunosuppressed mice induced by subcutaneous injection of dexamethasone at 1.

Protective effect of a Potentilla anserine polysaccharide on oxidative damages in mice.

Potentilla anserine polysaccharide (PAP) was studied in vivo to investigate its antioxidant activity using the model of dexamethasone-induced oxidative stress in mice. The investigation demonstrated that PAP at 50, 100 or 200mg/kg body weight for 7 days respectively increased thymus index and spleen index, glutathione level, superoxidase dismutase activity and total antioxidant capacity in both thymus and spleen and decreased the content of H(2)O(2) in spleen and NO in both thymus and spleen of mice. The results revealed that PAP was able to overcome dexamethasone-induced oxidative stress and might play an important role in repairs of oxidative damage in immunological system.
