Dong, Xiao-dan published the artcileA novel polysaccharide from Castanea mollissima Blume: Preparation, characteristics and antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo, Name: (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is antitumor castanea polysaccharide CMP90 proliferation apoptosis cytokines immune cells; Antitumor; Castanea mollissima Blume; Characteristics; Polysaccharide.
A new water-soluble polysaccharide, CMP90, with a mol. weight of 23.9 kDa was isolated from Castanea mollissima Blume and the preliminary structural characteristics and antitumor effects of CMP90 in vitro and in vivo were investigated in the research. CMP90 consists of arabinose, galactose, glucose, xylose and mannose (molar ratio: 0.08:0.11:5.14:0.12:0.08) with α- and β-anomeric units. The results of in vitro experiments indicated that CMP90 exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HL-60 cells with typical apoptotic characteristics by inducing cell cycle arrested at G1/M phase. Addnl., the results in vivo suggested CMP90 was able to inhibit the growth of S180 solid tumors via protecting immune organs, improving the levels of serum cytokines (TNF-α, IL-2 and IFN-γ), enhancing the activities of immune cells (macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells) and inducing cell apoptosis or death. Taken together, these combined data clearly indicated that CMP90 may be used as a potential candidate agent for cancer therapy.
