Abstract

Background: Polysaccharides from Pleurotus citrinopileatus exhibit diverse bioactivities, yet their efficacy against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced photoaging remains unexplored. This study aimed to purify and characterize a specific PCP and assess its protective effects using a UVB-induced zebrafish model.

Results: A polysaccharide, designated as PCP-2, was isolated from P. citrinopileatus through hot-water extraction, ultrafiltration and chromatography. PCP-2 is a galactoglucan with a molecular weight of 1.52 × 10⁶ Da, predominantly composed of 1,4-linked glucopyranosyl and 1,4,6-linked galactopyranosyl residues. In UVB-exposed zebrafish, PCP-2 administration resulted in a significant reduction of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels, alongside enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Additionally, PCP-2 inhibited apoptosis by upregulating Bcl-2 expression and downregulating caspase-3. It also attenuated cellular senescence, as indicated by decreased β-galactosidase activity and increased telomerase activity. Moreover, PCP-2 promoted the synthesis of type I and III collagen by suppressing matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1 and MMP-3 and reduced melanin production through the downregulation of tyrosinase expression. Mechanistic studies suggested that these protective effects are mediated via activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Conclusion: PCP-2 from P. citrinopileatus effectively mitigates UVB-induced photoaging, primarily by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. These findings suggest PCP-2's potential as an anti-photoaging agent in both food and pharmaceutical industries. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture publishes peer-reviewed original research, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives and spotlights in these areas, with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary studies at the agriculture/ food interface. Published for SCI by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) is a unique international forum where science meets business on independent, impartial ground. Anyone can join and current Members include consumers, business people, environmentalists, industrialists, farmers, and researchers. The Society offers a chance to share information between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemicals, environmental science and safety. As well as organising educational events, SCI awards a number of prestigious honours and scholarships each year, publishes peer-reviewed journals, and provides Members with news from their sectors in the respected magazine, Chemistry & Industry . Originally established in London in 1881 and in New York in 1894, SCI is a registered charity with Members in over 70 countries.
