Lipid-Lowering Effects of Inonotus obliquus Polysaccharide In Vivo and In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Excessive lipid intake will cause hyperlipidemia, fatty liver metabolism disease, and endanger people's health. Edible fungus polysaccharide is a natural active substance for lipid lowering. In this study, the HepG2 cell model induced by oleic acid and mice model induced by a high-fat diet was established. The lipid-lowering effects of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Glucose (251.33 mg/g), rhamnose (11.53 mg/g), ribose (5.10 mg/g), glucuronic acid (6.30 mg/g), and galacturonic acid (2.95 mg/g) are present in IOP, at a ratio of 85.2:3.91:1.73:2.14:1. The molecular weight of IOP is 42.28 kDa. Treatment with 60 mg/L of IOP showed a significant lipid-lowering effect in HepG2 cells compared with the oleic acid-treated group. In the oil red O-stained images, the red fat droplets in the IOP-treated groups were significantly reduced. TC and TG levels of IOP-treated groups decreased. IOP can alleviate the lipid deposition in the mice liver due to high-fat diet, and significantly reduce their serum TC, TG, and LDL-C contents. IOP could activate AMPK but decrease the SREBP-1C, FAS, and ACC protein expression related to adipose synthesis in mice. IOP has a certain potential for lipid-lowering effects both in vivo and in vitro.

Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide regulates gut microbiota of chronic pancreatitis in mice.

Project description:Polysaccharide is efficient in attenuation of metabolic ailments and modulation of gut microbiota as prebiotics. The therapeutic effect of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) on chronic pancreatitis (CP) in mice has been validated in our previous study. However, it is not clear whether IOP is conducive to maintaining the homeostasis between gut microbiota and host. The aim of this study is to testify the potential effects of IOP on gut microbiota composition and diversity in mice with CP. The changes in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-?), lipase and trypsin levels were measured by commercial assay kits, meanwhile the gut microbiota composition and diversity were analyzed by high throughput sequencing. The IOP treatment increased GSH-PX and TAOC levels, and decreased TNF-?, TGF-?, lipase and trypsin levels in CP mice. It was also observed that gut microbiota in IOP treated groups were less diverse than others in terms of lower Shannon diversity index and Chao 1 estimator. IOP increased the proportion of Bacteroidetes and decreased that of Firmicutes at phylum level. Bacteroidetes was found positively correlated with GSH-PX and TAOC, and Firmicutes correlated with TNF-?, TGF-?, and lipase. In conclusion, administration of IOP could regulate gut microbiota composition and diversity to a healthy profile in mice with CP, and some bacterial phylum significantly correlated with characteristic parameters.

Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide ameliorates serum profiling in STZ-induced diabetic mice model.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is a systemic disease mainly caused by the disorder of metabolism, which has become huge threat to human health. Polysaccharides are the main active substance from Inonotus obliquus (I. obliquus) with hypoglycemic effect. This study aims to evaluate the hypoglycemic activity and investigate the molecular mechanism of I. obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice using metabolomics based on UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS method.ResultsThe results showed that the oral administration of IOP in high dose (1.2 g/kg) can significantly reduce the blood glucose with 31% reduction comparing with the diabetic model and relieve dyslipidemia in diabetic mice. By UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS method and multivariate statistical analysis, a total of 15 differential metabolites were identified, including 4 up-regulated and 11 down-regulated biomarkers, of which L-tryptophan, L-leucine, uric acid, 12-HETE, arachidonic acid, PC(20:1(11Z)/14:1(9Z)) and SM(d18:0/24:1(15Z)) were exhibited an important variation, as the potential biomarkers in diabetes. Pathway analysis indicated that phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and arachidonic acid metabolism were prone to interference in diabetes. Moreover, leucine and proline were reversed and phytosphingosine was further reduced in diabetic mice under the intervention of IOP.ConclusionIOP has predominant hyperglycemic effect on STZ-induced diabetic mice via ameliorating serum profiling.

Identification of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide with broad-spectrum antiviral activity against multi-feline viruses.

Project description:Inonotus obliquus polysaccharides (IOPs) are a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of cancer, cardiopathy, diabetes, AIDs, pancreatitis and other diseases. In this study, we found that IOP can act as a broad-spectrum antiviral drug against feline viruses in the in vitro experiment. Using cell models of feline calicivirus (FCV), we demonstrated that IOP treatment was capable of exhibiting anti-FCV strain F9 activity in cell-based assays and also showed low cytotoxicity. Investigation of the mechanism of action of the compound revealed that IOP treatment induces its inhibitory actions directly on virus particles through blocking viral binding/absorpting. The inhibitory activity against other FCV isolates from China was also identified. More importantly, we found that IOP exhibited broad-spectrum antiviral activity against the feline herpesvirus 1, feline influenza virus H3N2 and H5N6, feline panleukopenia virus and feline infectious peritonitis virus that can contribute to respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in cats. These findings suggest that IOP may be a potential broad-spectrum antiviral drug against feline viruses.

Project description:Natural edible fungal polysaccharides are of research and application value for the prevention of diseases by improving the microenvironment within the intestine. Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) extracts have strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other biological activities, and as such, it could be used as prebiotics to improve the viability of intestinal microbes, maintain intestinal homeostasis and improve intestinal immunity. The effects of sex on intestinal microbiota after IOP absorption was determined. In this study, IOP had different effects on the intestinal flora of male and female rats, with the diversity and richness showing opposite changes. At the same time, after IOP intervention, changes in the dominant intestinal flora of female rats was less compared with that of males. In addition, while Clostridia, Lactobacillus and Roseburia were the dominant intestinal microbes in female rats, males had mainly Bacteroidota from different families and genera, along with an increasing proportion of Muribaculaceae from different families and genera. IOP could further regulate the intestinal microenvironment of male and female SD rats by enhancing the vitality of their dominant microorganisms, and for both sexes, this enabled the screening of dominant microflora that were conducive to the balance of the intestinal flora. These results help to understand the effects of sex-related differences on the composition of the intestinal microbiota as well as on diseases.

Effect of Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide on composition of the intestinal flora in mice with acute endometritis

Project description:Inonotus obliquus Polysaccharide (IOP) is a large molecule extracted from Inonotus obliqus, a medicinal fungus, which has a wide range of biological activities and has been shown to be associated with inflammation. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether IOP can help to reduce acute endometritis by regulating intestinal flora. We observed pathological changes in mice with endometritis following treatment with IOP and evaluated changes in the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and further studied the effects of IOP on the intestinal flora of endometritis mice using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that IOP improved the condition of uterine tissues and reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Meanwhile, the 16S rRNA sequencing results showed that IOP could regulate the changes in intestinal microflora at the level of genera, possibly by changing the relative abundance of some genera.

Inonotus obliquus attenuates histamine-induced microvascular inflammation.

Project description:Cell-to-cell communication is a key element of microvascular blood flow control, including rapidly carrying signals through the vascular endothelium in response to local stimuli. This cell-to-cell communication is negatively impacted during inflammation through the disruption of junctional integrity. Such disruption is associated with promoting the onset of cardiovascular diseases as a result of altered microvascular blood flow regulation. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms how inflammation drives microvascular dysfunction and compounds that mitigate such inflammation and dysfunction are of great interest for development. As such we aimed to investigate extracts of mushrooms as potential novel compounds. Using intravital microscopy, the medicinal mushroom, Inonotus obliquus was observed, to attenuate histamine-induced inflammation conducted vasodilation in second-order arterioles in the gluteus maximus muscle of C57BL/6 mice. Mast cell activation by C48/80 similarly disrupted endothelial junctions and conducted vasodilation but only histamine was blocked by the histamine antagonist, pyrilamine not C48/80 suggesting the importance of mast cell activation. Data presented here supports that histamine induced inflammation is a major disruptor of junctional integrity, and highlights the important anti-inflammatory properties of Inonotus obliquus focusing future assessment of mast cells as putative target for Inonotus obliquus.
