Microalgae-Derived Microparticles Improve Immunomodulation via Combined Glycolysis and MAPK Activation
Natural polysaccharides possess potent immunostimulatory properties, but their poor solubility impedes efficiency of cellular delivery. This study focuses on extraction of microparticles (MPs) fromEuglena gracilis, a microalgae species characterized by abundant intracellular β-1,3-glucan and flexible cell membrane. We introduce anE. gracilis-derived MP (MPEG) system as a natural carrier for solubilized β-glucan. The MPEG system enhances β-glucan’s solubility and loading efficiency through sequential sonication and cell extrusion. In vitro studies reveal that MPEG utilizes multiple endocytosis pathways, including phagocytosis, clathrin-mediated, and lipid raft-mediated routes, for effective β-glucan delivery into cells. Upon cellular internalization, MPEG components trigger dual activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and glycolysis in macrophages, leading to enhanced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lactic acid, ultimately strengthening innate immune responses. This MPEG system offers a promising approach to harnessing the immunostimulatory properties of natural polysaccharides while overcoming their solubility limitations, opening new avenues for targeted cellular delivery in immunomodulation therapies.
