    ABSTRACT

    Background: Fungal polysaccharides are an essential active polymer compound in human cells. A clear understanding of the structure of polysaccharides is the foundation for conducting research and utilization of polysaccharides. Objectives: To explore the structure and immunomodulatory activities of polysaccharides from Hygrophorus olivaceoalbus and Agrocybe aegerita. Materials and Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography, high-performance gel-permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis were utilized to analyze the structure of Hygrophorus olivaceoalbus polysaccharide (HO-P) and Agrocybe aegerita polysaccharide (AA-P). The immunomodulatory activities of these polysaccharides were also studied. Results: The HO-P consisted of (1→6)-Galp, (1→4)-Glup, (→1)-Glup, and (1→4,6)-D-Manp with the ratio of mannose, galactose, and glucose being 1:1:2. The AA-P was consisted of (1→4,6)-Glup, (1→4)-Arap, and (1→6)-Galp with the ratio of galactose, glucose, and arabinose being 3:2:1. AA-P and HO-P could both mainly by reducing G0/G1 phase, which leads to the significant proliferation of B cells and RAW264.7 cells, respectively. At the same time, AA-P and HO-P could significantly stimulate the necrosis factor-α secretion of T cells, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM secretion of B cells and tumor necrosis factor-α secretion of RAW264.7 cells, but neither of them could stimulate interleukin-1→ secretion of RAW264.7 cells. Conclusion: Due to its better branching degree, AA-P is more conducive to forming a triple-helix, three-dimensional configuration, as well as better solubility and smaller molecular weight, thus exhibiting higher biological immune activity against immune cells than HO-P.
