Effects of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata polysaccharides on LPS-induced immune activation in mice based on gut microbiota, metabolomics and transcriptomics
This study explored the immunomodulatory effects of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata polysaccharides (RP) on LPS-induced immune activation. RP, characterized as a heteropolysaccharide (6.34 kDa and 4.63 kDa) rich in galactose and glucose, was administered to LPS-challenged BALB/c mice at 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg doses. Results showed RP significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6), lowered oxidative stress (MDA), and boosted antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GSH-Px). It restored splenic structure, mitigated apoptosis, and suppressed the TNF-α/NF-κB/IL-6 pathway. Metabolomics linked RP to sphingolipid metabolism, while gut microbiota analysis revealed increased beneficial bacteria and elevated SCFAs. Transcriptomics confirmed RP's immune regulation via TNF signaling. These findings demonstrate RP's potential in alleviating immune overactivation by modulating inflammation, gut microbiota, and SCFA production, suggesting therapeutic promise for immune-related diseases.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
