タイトル Characterization and anti-tumor activities of polysaccharide isolated from Brassica rapa L. via activation of macrophages through TLR2-and TLR4-Dependent pathways.
ジャーナル Arch Biochem Biophys
Abstract We have previously shown the immunostimulatory effects by Nozawana (Brassica rapa L.). In this report, we determined the characteristics of Nozawana polysaccharide (NPS) and evaluated the immunomodulatory effects and anti-tumor activity of NPS mediated by macrophage activation. The molecular weight of NPS was determined by gel filtration chromatography with an average molecular weight of approximately 100.6 kDa. HPLC analysis showed that NPS contained glucose, galacturonic acid, galactose, and arabinose. NPS increased cytokine and nitric oxide (NO) production by macrophages in a Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4-dependent manner. Furthermore, NPS induced apoptosis significantly against 4T1 murine breast cancer cells cultured in conditioned medium from NPS-treated macrophages through tumor necrosis factor-α. In tumor-bearing mouse model, tumor growth was significantly reduced in NPS-treated mice compared with control mice. These results support the potential use of NPS as an immunotherapeutic material found in health food products.
