The efficacy of polysaccharides is widespread, especially in immune regulation. However, the genetic basis of the changes in polysaccharides regulating immunity is unclear. To obtain genome-wide insights into transcriptome changes and regulatory networks, we designed a polysaccharide formula, comprising lentinan, pachymaran and tremelia, to increase the availability of their optimized active sites. In this case, we focused on a model of immunosuppression to investigate genes by digital gene expression (DGE) tag profiling in T and B cells. These genes were further validated by qRT-PCR and Western blot experiments. Consequently, polysaccharide formula treatment helped to recover the expression of immune-related genes, including CADM1, CCR2, IGLL1, LIGP1, and FCGR3, FCGR2 in B cells, as well as S100A8, S100A9, ChIL3, MMP8 and IFITM3 in T cells. These results suggest that treatment with polysaccharides improves the immunity of immunosuppressive mice by regulating genes associated with T and B cell functions.

Traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides have numerous biological activities with broad applications in the biomedical industries. However, a clear understanding of the pharmacological activities of compound polysaccharides with multi-component structures remain challenging. This study aimed to investigate the immune boosting effect of compound polysaccharides on the influenza vaccine and assess the preliminary structure-activity relationship.

Cancer is a leading cause of human mortality. Given that it is difficult for conventional therapeutic approaches to effectively eradicate tumors and inhibit their recurrence and metastasis, new therapeutic strategies for solving this problem are urgently needed. In this work, we report the development of a two-dimensional titanium carbide nanocomposite drug delivery system.

Fungal polysaccharides display a variety of important biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and immune-stimulating activities. The aim of present study was to investigate the immunomodulatory effect of fungal polysaccharides on cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression in mice. Mice were pretreated orally with lentinan, tremellan, pachymaran, or a mixture of the three, respectively.

Int J Immunopharmacol

Antitumour polysaccharide lentinan, capable of potentiating T-cell dependent reactions and some other antitumour polysaccharides such as pachymaran, carboxymethyl-pachymaran and zymosan were found to induce vascular dilatation and hemorrhage(VDH) in CD-1 normal mice starting the following day after a single injection. Polysaccharides which do not have the tumour-regressing activity, several immunopotentiators such as BCG, lipopolysaccharide, dextran sulfate and concanavalin A, and chemical mediators of inflammation such as histamine, serotonin and prostaglandin E1 did not induce VDH in mice. This response seems to be mediated by T-cells and macrophages, because VDH was not observed in CD-1 nu/nu mice treated with lentinan, and carrageenan, an antimacrophage drug, inhibited the appearance of VDH by lentinan.
