Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide alleviates cognitive dysfunction by inhibiting neuroinflammation via NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway
Ethnopharmacological relevance
Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, is commonly recommended for its potential to promote mental relaxation and alleviate memory impairment. Recently, there have been reports suggesting that it exhibits anti-neuroinflammatory activity through the gut-brain axis. Cognitive dysfunction is among the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases.
Aim of the study
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of polysaccharides extracted from G. lucidum in alleviating cognitive dysfunction.
Methods and materials
A polysaccharide was extracted through the process of alkali extraction followed by alcohol precipitation. Comprehensive analysis was conducted to characterize the total sugar content, amino acid composition, and sugar chain structure. The levels of inflammatory related factors were assessed using griess reagent, qPCR and western blotting assay in vitro. The efficacy of alleviating cognitive dysfunction was evaluated through a series of behavioral studies in mice model induced by the high-fat high-sugar diet combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress (HFFD/CUMS) in vivo. The mechanism was investigated by 16S rRNA sequence, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and short-chain fatty acid detection.
Results
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) is a polysaccharide identified as β-glucan. Bioactivity experiments have demonstrated that GLP possesses the potential to ameliorate cognitive dysfunction. The mechanism study revealed that GLP can modulate the composition of gut microbiota and suppress the activation of inflammasomes via NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby attenuating neuroinflammatory. Furthermore, GLP may enhance the peripheral immunity response of the body, leading to a comprehensive regulatory effect.
Conclusion
A polysaccharide alleviates cognitive dysfunction via inhibiting neuroinflammation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ethnopharmacology is dedicated to the exchange of information and understandings about people''s use of plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms and minerals and their biological and pharmacological effects based on the principles established through international conventions. Early people confronted with illness and disease, discovered a wealth of useful therapeutic agents in the plant and animal kingdoms. The empirical knowledge of these medicinal substances and their toxic potential was passed on by oral tradition and sometimes recorded in herbals and other texts on materia medica. Many valuable drugs of today (e.g., atropine, ephedrine, tubocurarine, digoxin, reserpine) came into use through the study of indigenous remedies. Chemists continue to use plant-derived drugs (e.g., morphine, taxol, physostigmine, quinidine, emetine) as prototypes in their attempts to develop more effective and less toxic medicinals.
