In this study, hot water was used to extract Inonotus obliquus oligosaccharide. DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose G-200 were used to purify Inonotus obliquus oligosaccharide. Inonotus obliquus oligosaccharide IOP-2A was obtained. Its molecular weight Mw is about 1000 Da. The monosaccharide composition and molar ratio were glucose : xylose : galactose : mannose = 54.1 : 13.6 : 13.2 : 6.7. In addition, it also contains a small amount of galactose, gluconic acid, rhamnose, and fucose. IOP-2A contained mainly β-glycosidic bonds. Among them, 1,4-glycosidic bonds accounted for 9.2%, and 1,6-glycosidic bonds accounted for 85.1%. Oligosaccharide macromolecules formed a layered structure. Mouse experiments showed that IOP-2A had the function of preventing hyperlipidemia. At the same time, IOP-2A had a certain protective effect on the liver and kidney. The mechanism of IOP-2A in preventing hyperlipidemia was obtained from the perspective of mouse intestinal flora.

Polysaccharides are key bioactive compounds in lotus plumule tea, but their anti-diabetes activities remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prebiotic activities of a novel polysaccharide fraction from the Nelumbo nucifera lotus plumule, and to examine its regulation of glucose metabolism in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. The N. nucifera polysaccharide (NNP) was purified after discoloration, hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography to obtain purified polysaccharide fractions (NNP-2). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the main structural characteristics and functional group of NNP-2. Physicochemical characterization indicated that NNP-2 had a molecular weight of 110.47 kDa and consisted of xylose, glucose, fructose, galactose, and fucose in a molar ratio of 33.4:25.7:22.0:10.5:8.1. The prebiotic activity of NNP-2 was demonstrated in vitro using Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Furthermore, NNP-2 showed bioactivity against α-glucosidase (IC50 = 97.32 µg/mL). High glucose-induced insulin-resistant HepG2 cells were used to study the effect of NNP-2 on glucose consumption, and the molecular mechanism of the insulin transduction pathway was studied using RT-qPCR. NNP-2 could improve insulin resistance by modulating the IRS1/PI3K/Akt pathway in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. Our data demonstrated that the Nelumbo nucifera polysaccharides are potential sources for nutraceuticals, and we propose functional food developments from the bioactive polysaccharides of N. nucifera for the management of diabetes.

Lectin from loach skin mucus plays an important role in pathogen defense. However, hardly can any paper relevant to the character of lectin from loach skin mucus be found in recent years. In this study, a kind of new lectin (LML), with a high hemagglutination activity of 166.23 × 103 HU/mg, was successfully isolated and purified from loach skin mucus. LML was a kind of glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 245 kDa. Also, the monosaccharide composition suggested that its carbohydrate chain was composed of rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 2.02 : 11.66 : 2.06 : 1.00 : 14.09 : 6.00. Besides, LML depended on Ca2+ to induce hemagglutination and was strongly inhibited by D-lactose. The lectin exhibited powerful resistance to alkali and kept about 30% hemagglutination activity at pH 14.0, whereas its capacity of acid resistance was weak. The maximum hemagglutination activity of LML maintained at a temperature range from 20°C to 50°C. Moreover, the structure of LML was preliminarily studied, indicating it contained abundant glutamic acid, histidine, and serine, and its secondary structure contained α-helix (4.97%), β-sheet (27.55%), turns structure (49.78%), and unordered structure (17.70%).

This study aimed to investigate the effect of nitrogen sources on the production and rheological properties of welan gum produced by <i>Sphingomonas</i> sp. ATCC 31555. Six different nitrogen sources were used for ATCC 31555 fermentation, and 2 of these were further analyzed due to their more positive influence on welan gum production and bacterial biomass. Bacterial biomass, welan gum yield, welan viscosity, molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, acyl content, and welan structure were analyzed. Welan gum production and the biomass concentration of ATCC 31555 were higher in media containing NaNO<sub>3</sub> and beef extract. Welan viscosity decreased at higher temperatures of 30-90°C, and it increased with a higher welan concentration. In the media containing NaNO<sub>3</sub> (3 g·L<sup>-1</sup>), welan viscosity was higher at 30-70°C and a welan solution concentration of 6-10 g·L<sup>-1</sup>. With a reduced NaNO<sub>3</sub> concentration, the molecular weight of welan gum and the molar ratio of mannose decreased, but the molar ratio of glucuronic acid increased. With different nitrogen sources, the acetyl content of welan gum differed but its structure was similar. NaNO<sub>3</sub> and beef extract facilitated welan production. A reduced NaNO<sub>3</sub> concentration promoted welan viscosity.

Modern studies have shown that pollen has a certain role in the treatment of prostate-related diseases. In the present study, pollen polysaccharides from Chinese wolfberry (WPPs) were extracted by hot-water extraction and ethanol precipitation, further purified by chromatography on a DEAE-cellulose column and Sephadex G-100 column. Homogeneous polysaccharide CF1 of WPPS was obtained, the molecular weight of which was estimated to be 1540.10 ± 48.78 kDa by HPGPC-ELSD. HPLC with PMP derivatization analysis indicated that the monosaccharide compositions of CF1 were mannose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, xylose, galactose, arabinose, and trehalose, in a molar ratio of 0.68:0.59:0.27:0.24:0.22:0.67:0.08. The antitumor effects of CF1 upon MTT, Tunel assay and flow cytometry assay were investigated in vitro. The results showed that CF1 exhibited a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect, with an IC50 value of 374.11 μg/mL against DU145 prostate cancer cells. Tunel assay and flow cytometry assay showed that the antitumor activity of CF1 was related to apoptosis in vitro. The present study suggested that the CF1 of WPPs might be a potential source of antitumor functional food or agent.

The binding of the natural mineralocorticoid aldosterone and the glucocorticoid corticosterone to macromolecules in rat liver and kidney cytoplasmic fractions was compared by various chromatographic procedures. Equilibration of kidney cytosol with 10nM-aldosterone, either alone or in the presence of a competing steroid, was ideal for ionexchange chromatography of DEAE-cellulose DE-52, and revealed the presence of four sorts of binding components. One of these, eluted in the 0.001M-phosphate pre-wash, and another, less abundant, forming a peak at 0.006M-phosphate, did not bind corticosterone at equimolar concentrations, and appear to constitute the mineralocorticoid-specific ‘MR‘ receptor in rat kidney. They could not be detected in the liver. Radioactivity eluted in the 0.02 and 0.06M-phosphate regions on DEAE-cellulose DE-52 appears to be due to [3H]aldosterone binding to glucocorticoid-specific ‘GR’ receptors and to transcortin respectively, since labelling was greater with corticosterone even at 10 nM than with the mineralocorticoid at 100nM and since [14C]corticosterone bound to blood serum transcortin was always co-chromatographed in the 0.06M-phosphate region. These two components appear to be identical with those in the liver and could be labelled maximally only by 100nM-corticosterone. The separation between specific mineralo- and glucocorticoid-binding species was less clear when chromatography was attempted on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 columns, possibly because of disaggregation into subunits in the presence of the high KC1 concentrations required for elution. Competitive binding followed by filtration through Sephadex G-200 gel indicated that cellular MR binders, unlike GR receptors, exist mostly as high-molecular-weight aggregates, although both appear to exhibit a comparable monomeric molecular weight of approx. 67000.

This study was aimed to analyze of polysaccharides from fruiting bodies of Fomitopsis officinalis (Vill.ex.Fr.), Laetipo-rus sulphureus (Bull.ex.Fr.) and Inonotus obliquus (Pers.ex.Fr.) medicinal mushrooms, growing in Mongolia. As a result of “step by step” extraction method we have obtained 4 fractions of polysaccharide (water-soluble: HWE50 and HWE100; cold alkali-soluble CA; hot alkali-soluble HA) form the each mushroom sample. Polysaccharide fraction’s yields extracted by hot water from Fomitopsis officinalis (Vill.ex.Fr.), Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.ex.Fr.) and Inonotus obliquus (Pers.ex.Fr.) were 3.68%, 8.82% and 12.84%. Yields of alkali-soluble polysaccharides were 18.64%, 68.03% and 28.75%, respectively, which results more than water fractions. The main monosaccharide composition in all polysaccharide fractions were glucose, and a content of glucose was varied 30%-100%. Therefore, they can be considered glucans. Water-soluble polysaccharide fractions contain fucose (until 12%), man-nose (until 18%) and galactose (until 30%). An average molecular mass of water-soluble polysaccharides were calculated Mw 100–150kDa or it can be considered a low, while an average molecular mass of alkali-soluble polysaccharides was a bit high 300–750кDа. All polysaccharides were heterogenic.

In Streptococcus thermophilus, EpsC is a polysaccharide co-polymerase which is involved in determining the chain length of EPS synthesized by the Wzx/Wzy-dependent pathway. Our previous study found that there was a positive correlation between transcription level of epsC and molecular weight of EPS in S. thermophilus 05-34. To further investigate the effects of EpsC on EPS biosynthesis, this gene was over-expressed in S. thermophilus 05-34 in this study. Reverse transcription qPCR and Western blotting confirmed the successful transcription and translation of epsC in 05-34, respectively. The yield of EPS was not affected by the over-expression of EpsC. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) showed that the monosaccharide composition was still composed of galactose and glucose in a molar ratio of 1.0:0.8, whereas high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) indicated that the molecular weight of EPS was increased from 4.62 × 105 Da to 9.17 × 105 Da by the over-expression of EpsC. In addition, S. thermophilus 05epsC which could produce higher molecular weight EPS improved the viscoelasticity and water-holding capacity of yogurt, but significantly reduced the level of syneresis in yogurt. In summary, these results indicated that homologous over-expression of EpsC in S. thermophilus could increase the molecular weight of EPS and improve the microrheological or physical properties of yogurt.

In the present work, a low-molecular-weight xanthan gum (LW-XG) was successfully obtained via biodegradation of commercial xanthan by the endophytic fungus Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882. The monosaccharide composition of LW-XG was glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in a molar ratio of 1.63:1.5:1.0. The molecular weight of LW-XG was 4.07 × 104 Da and much smaller than that of commercial xanthan (2.95 × 106 Da). Antioxidant assays showed that LW-XG had a good scavenging ability on DPPH radicals, superoxide anions, and hydroxyl radicals and good ferric reducing power. Moreover, LW-XG exhibited excellent protective effect on H2O2-injured Caco-2 cells. Results of this work suggested that LW-XG could be used in foods or pharmaceuticals to alleviate and resist the oxidative damage induced by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species.

To investigate the pure conditions of exopolysaccharides produced by Lactobacillus paracasei KL1-Liu from Tibetan Kefir, and to analyse the structure, we used Multi-level single-factor test to purify EPS by Sepharose CL-6B. And the purity of EPS was detected by UV scan and high performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC). EPS molecular weight and monosaccharide composition were determined by HPLC. Results: Adoption phosphate buffer gradient elution 0.02-0.10 mol/L, the velocity 0.25 mL/min, the sample concentration 1.0 mg/mL, the sample capacity 1.0 mL. Under this purification conditions, components EPSa and EPSb were obtained. The purities of EPSa and EPSb were 82.82% and 91.74% respectively, which were 1.4 and 1.5 times of the pre-purification. Purity Test results showed that EPSa and EPSb polysaccharide were single components, basically no nucleic acid and protein in them. Structural analysis revealed that the molecular weight of EPSa and EPSb were 4.60×104 Da and 2.12×104 Da detected by HPLC. EPSa monosaccharide components were glucose and rhamnose, and the molar ratio was 1:0.68. EPSb were composed of glucose, xylose and rhamnose, and the molar ratio was 1:0.77:0.69.
