In this study, a pure Grifola frondosa polysaccharide (GFP-1) was extracted and purified from Grifola frondosa . By HPLC , GC-MS, FT-IR, and NMR analysis, GFP-1 was determined to be a starch-like polysaccharide with an average molecular weight of 3370 kDa. It included three monosaccharides , i.e., glucose, galactose , and mannose . The backbone of GFP-1 consisted of →4)-α-Glc p -(1→ and →4,6)-α-Glc p -(1 → . The side branches were composed of →6)-α-Gal p -(1→, α-Glc p -(1→, and a small amount of α-Man p -(1 → . By using a cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressed mice model, we evaluated the immunomodulatory activity of GFP-1. The results showed that GFP-1 increased the thymic and spleen indices, promoted the level of IgG and IgA in serum, and activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in CTX-induced mice. Also, GFP-1 significantly promoted the mRNA expression of intestinal barrier factors and protected intestinal structural integrity in immunosuppressed mice. In conclusion, the data presented here suggested that GFP-1 might be a potential immune-enhancing supplement.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an immune-mediated intestinal disease without a comprehensive cure, and the alleviation of UC has become an urgent problem. The results showed that JY062 with its EPS group (JEC) alleviated the intestinal barrier damage caused by LPS. After JEC intervention on Caco-2 cells, resulted in upregulation of ZO-1, Claudin-1, Occludin and MUC2 transcript levels and decreased mRNA expression of Claudin-2 (p < 0.05). JEC effectively attenuated the inflammatory response in UC mice and restoration of immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgM and IgA), which resulted in shortening and swelling of the colon, disappearance of goblet cells, infiltration of inflammatory cells and mucosal damage were alleviated in mice. Similarly, changes in the expression of MUC2 and tight junction proteins after JEC intervention also occurred in UC mice. Administration of JEC significantly inhibited the differentiation of pro-inflammatory Th17 cells in the thymus and peripheral blood, promoted the differentiation of CD4+ T cells to Treg cells, and effectively regulated DSS-induced macrophage imbalance, which was manifested by the polarization of pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages. This study clearly demonstrates that JEC could significantly prevent intestinal barrier on DSS-induced experimental colitis and could be applied as a potential symbiotic strategy to assist in the alleviation of UC.
