Fine particulate matter (PM) exposure could cause many acute and chronic respiratory diseases. In this study the protective effects of polysaccharide from Morchella esculenta (FMP-1) and its derivatives against PM-induced inflammation were evaluated. By flow cytometry and ELISA analysis, sulfated polysaccharide SFMP-1 showed the best protective effect in reducing PM-induced cell death, cell apoptosis and production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), which was accompanied by a diminished level in reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation caused by PM in rat alveolar macrophage NR8383 cells. Furthermore, the mechanism was studied by immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR and western blotting. SFMP-1 could down-regulate the expression of inducible NO synthesis (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) at both mRNA and protein levels in PM-treated cells. The PM-induced phosphorylation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was also reduced through suppressing nuclear translation of the NF-κB and inhibiting the degradation and phosphorylation of IκBα. These results indicated that SFMP-1 could protect NR8383 cells from PM-induced inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB activation.

M1 macrophages activated by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) serve a pro‑inflammatory role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is decreased in the alveolar macrophages of patients with COPD. However, whether SIRT1 is involved in COPD by regulating macrophage polarization remains unknown.

It is inevitable for polyphenols and polysaccharides to interact during food preparation. Modifications in microstructure can lead to changes in the physical and chemical properties of food systems, which in turn may influence the nutritional characteristics and functional activities of the food. Recent studies have shown that, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine compounds, certain natural polysaccharides and polyphenols exhibit significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory condition characterized by excessive immune responses and oxidative stress, leading to significant tissue damage. Given the need for novel therapeutic agents, this study aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory activity and mechanisms of biotransformed root extracts (BT-PGR), which were enzymatically processed using rapidsase PL Classic from . The goal was to assess the potential of BT-PGR as a natural treatment for ALI.
