All animals received Cy intraperitoneally once every three days at a dose of80mg/kg body weight to establish the immunosuppressive animal model.The control group received normal saline.Different groups were treated with SCP-IIa at50,100and200mg/kg given orally,whereas control group and model group were given normal saline of the same volume via oral administration.Animals were sacrificed after10days of treatment.Twenty-four hours after the last drug administration,the ani-mals were weighed and killed by decapitation.The spleen and thymus were excised from the animal and weighed immediately. Thymus and spleen indices were calculated according to the follow-ing formula:thymus or spleen index(mg/g)=(weight of thymus or spleen/body weight).2.5.2.Peritoneal macrophages activity assay[16]Twenty-four hours after the last drug administration,mice were intraperitoneally injected with0.5mL of5%CRBC.Thirty min-utes later,animals were killed by decapitation and2mL of Hank’s balanced salt solution was used for peritoneal lavage.The cell suspension was smeared and incubated for30min at37◦C in a humidified5%CO2incubator.After incubation,non-phagocytosed CRBC and other cells were removed by washing.Macrophages werefixed with methanol and stained with Giemsa.Phagocyto-sis percent was measured by counting the number of macrophages phagocytosing CRBC per100macrophage cells.The phagocytosis index was measured by counting the number of phagocytosed CRBC per100macrophage cells.2.5.3.Assay of splenocyte proliferation[17]Cell proliferation was assessed using MTT-based colorimetric assay.Twenty-four hours after the last drug administration,the animals were killed by decapitation,and spleens were removed aseptically.Spleen cells of mice were obtained by gently plac-ing the organ in RPMI-1640medium under aseptic conditions, followed by centrifugation at2000rpm for10min at room temper-ature.Red blood cells were removed by hemolytic Gey’s solution. After two washes,cells were resuspended in RMPI-1640complete medium containing5%FBS,with cell concentration adjusted to 1×106cell/mL.The cell suspension was planted in a96-well cul-ture plate with or without ConA(5.0g/mL)or LPS(20.0g/mL). After incubation for72h at37◦C in a humidified5%CO2incubator, the number of proliferating cells was determined by MTT assay ata wavelength of540nm.2.5.4.Serum hemolysin formation test[18]On thefifth day of administration,each mouse was immunized by injection of0.2mL suspension of SRBC(109/mL).Twenty-four hours after the last drug administration,blood samples were col-lected.One hour later,these blood samples were centrifuged at 2000rpm/min for10min and20L of supernatant serum was diluted to500times with normal saline.About0.5mL of10%SRBC and1mL of fresh guinea pig serum(1:10dilution)was added to the reaction tubesfilled with1mL of diluted serum samples.After incubation for1h at37◦C,the reaction tubes were immediately moved to an ice bath and centrifuged again under the same con-ditions.About1mL of the supernatant was mixed with3mL of Drabkin’s solution.Ten minutes later,the absorbance at540nm was measured.2.5.5.Statistical analysisQuantitative data were expressed as mean±S.D.All statistical comparisons were carried out using one-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey’s test.P-values less than0.05were considered statis-tically significant,while P-values less than0.01were considered extremely significant.846Y.Chen et al./International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 50 (2012) 844–848Fig.1.Ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-cellulose)of the crude polysaccharide from S.chinensis .The polysaccharidie fraction was applied to the column equi-librated with water and eluted with a linear gradient of 0–0.3mol/L NaCl.The fractions were assayed by the phenol–H 2SO 4reaction to estimate the sugar content (A 490nm).3.Results3.1.Isolation and purification of SCP-IIaSCP was prepared from S.chinensis by hot-water extraction,EtOH precipitation,deproteination and dialysis.SCP yield was 5.27%of the dry weight.Total SCP extracted was fractioned by chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose-52column into three parts:SCP-I,SCP-II,and SCP-III with a ratio of 17:29:9(Fig.1).SCP-IIa was obtained from SCP-II by gel-filtration (Sephachryl S-200).Freeze-dried SCP-IIa appeared as pale yellow powder soluble in water.It had a negative response to the Lowry test and exhibited no absorption at 280and 260nm,indicating the absence of protein and nucleic acid.Total sugar content by the phenol–sulfuric acid method was 98.4%.GPC profile (Fig.2)showed a single and sym-metrically sharp peak,indicating that SCP-IIa was a homogeneous polysaccharide with an average molecular weight of ∼7700Da.3.2.Effects of SCP-IIa on thymus and spleen indices in miceTable 1demonstrated that the thymus and spleen indices of animals treated with Cy at 80mg/kg bodyweight decreased sig-nificantly compared with controls.This indicated that the mice immunosuppression model prepared by treatment with 80mg/kg bodyweight of Cy was built successfully.The thymus indices of animals treated with SCP-IIa at different concentrations combined with Cy did not show the significant difference except that of SCP-IIa (100mg/kg)combining Cy-treated group when compared with only Cy-treated model.The spleen indices of animals treated withTable 1Effects of

bodyweight increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner compared with those treated with Cy only.The findings suggested that PAP overcame the immunosuppressed action induced by Cy.3.3.Effect of SCP-IIa on pinocytic activity of peritoneal macrophagesOne of the most distinct features of macrophage activation is an increase in pinocytic activity.Pinocytic activity of SCP-IIa-activated macrophages was indicated by uptake of SRBC.Results (Table 2)showed a dose-related enhancement of pinocytic activ-ity in macrophages treated with 50–200mg/kg doses of SCP-IIa.Phagocytosis percent and index in groups treated with moder-ate and high doses of SCP-II were significantly higher than the CY only group.SCP-IIa appeared to prime macrophages for enhanced pinocytic activity,which was comparable to that observed in con-trols.3.4.Effect of SCP-IIa on splenocyte proliferationThe Cy only-treatment significantly decreased the proliferation of the splenocytes compared with that of the normal control.In combination with Con A or LPS,SCP-IIa enhanced the proliferation of the splenocytes.The 50and 100mg/L SCP-IIa combined with Con A significantly promoted and strengthened the proliferation of the splenocytes.The 200mg/L SCP-IIa combined with Con A facilitated faster proliferation of splenocytes.The 100and 200mg/L SCP-IIa,combined with LPS provided obvious promotion and strengthening of the proliferation of the splenocytes.SCP-IIa showed a definite and clear synergistic effect on splenocyte proliferation after combining with Con A or LPS (Fig.3).3.5.Effect of SCP-IIa on serum hemolysin formationAs shown in Table 2,serum hemolysin formation in ani-mals treated with Cy only decreased significantly compared with controls.Serum hemolysin formation in animals treated with 200mg/kg SCP-IIa combined with Cy was significantly increased (p <0.01)compared with the Cy group.4.DiscussionS.chinensis is a famous and precious Chinese traditional drug.In recent years,Many studies have revealed that S.chinensis polysac-charides had widespread pharmacologic effects.We isolated and purified the polysaccharide SCP-IIa from S.chinensis using boiling water extraction,alcohol precipitation,ion-exchange chromatog-raphy,and column chromatography on silica gel.SCP-IIa was aY.Chen et al./International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 50 (2012) 844–848847Fig.2.Profile of SCP-IIa in HPLC.The sample was analyzed by Waters Ultrahydrogel 250column (8.0mm ×300mm)and eluted with 0.1mol/L NaCl at 0.5mL/min.homogeneous polysaccharide with an average molecular weight of ∼7700Da.Our findings provided basis for further research on biological activity mechanism of S.chinensis polysaccharides.The body’s immune function includes nonspecific and specific mechanisms.Nonspecific immunity refers to defenses against all pathogenic microbes having a certain degree of resistance.It has no special selectivity and is also known as natural or congenital immu-nity.Specific immunity protects the body from one kind of microbe or its products,and includes humoral and cellular mechanisms.In order to create a model of weakened immunity,we treated mice with Cy,which is a chemotherapeutic drug for cancer that has the side effect of injuring the DNA of normal cells.In our model,the effect of Cy was demonstrated by reduced spleen and thymus indices,since Cy treatment decreases the capacity of the immune system.The lower spleen and thymus indices in the Cy-treated mice in comparison with normal mice indicated an immunosuppressed state.The thymus and spleen are important immune organs.Their weights are important and intuitive indices for nonspecific immu-nity of the organism.Immunopotentiators could increase the weight of the thymus and spleen.The relative spleen and thy-mus weights in SCP-IIa test groups were notably higher than that of model groups.SCP-IIa apparently increased spleen indices in a dose-dependentmanner.Fig.3.SCP-IIa stimulation

control group.b p <0.05,compared with the Cy only-treated model group c p <0.01,compared with the Cy only-treated model group.Macrophages are ancient and phylogenetically conserved cells in all multicellular organisms.Together with neutrophils,they represent the first line of host defense,second to the epithelial barrier.Macrophages can function as antigen-presenting cells and can interact with T lymphocytes to modulate the adaptive immune response [19].Furthermore,macrophages are involved in tissue remodeling during embryogenesis,wound repair,clearance of apoptotic cells,and hematopoiesis [20,21].Activated macrophages not only participate in both specific and non-specific immune reac-tions,but also is the “bridge cell”of these two immune reactions [22].The present study investigated the phagocytic activity of peri-toneal macrophages.The phagocytic rate in mice pretreated with SCP-IIa markedly rivaled the decrease in phagocytic rate induced by Cy.The group treated with 200mg/kg SCP-IIa showed the great-est increase in phagocytic function.These demonstrated that the administration of SCP-IIa significantly increased the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.Lymphocyte proliferation is a crucial event in the activation cascade of both cellular and humoral immune responses [23].Lym-phocytes induced by ConA in vitro may be used as a method to evaluate T lymphocyte activity,while those induced by LPS may be used to evaluate B lymphocyte activity [24].Cy-induced suppres-sion of Con A-induced T-lymphocyte proliferation and LPS-induced B-lymphocyte proliferation was identified in this study.SCP-IIa appeared to have greater sensitivity for T cells of splenocytes than B cells,which resulted in better T-cell-mediated immunostimulating effect.The formation of serum hemolysin with SRBC immuniza-tion reflects humoral immunologic function [25].Our results demonstrated that SCP-IIa significantly increased serum hemolysin formation in Cy-immunosuppressed mice.These suggested that SCP-IIa can enhance humoral immunity activities.5.ConclusionIn summary,SCP-IIa exhibited potent immunomodulating prop-erties,such as improving the weight of immune organs,enhancing the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages,promoting hemolysin formation,and increasing lymphocyte transforma-tion.Our investigations suggested that SCP-IIa was involved in immunomodulatory effects in vivo.This study may provide a basis for the use of SCP-IIa as an efficacious adjuvant immunopoten-tiating agent,and it should be explored as a strong potential immunostimulant for the food and pharmaceutical purpose.Thus,it is clear that this polysaccharide extracted from S.chinensis has sig-nificant therapeutic potential and represent a rich source for future848Y.Chen et al./International Journal of Biological Macromolecules50 (2012) 844–848discovery and development of novel compounds of medical value which need to be taken more attention in further studies.
