The production of polysaccharide according to various developmental stages(mycelium growth, primordium appearance, and fruiting-body formation) in the edible mushroom Grifola frondosa was studied. The cap of the mature mushroom showed the highest amount of polysacchride. Mycelial growth and polysaccharide synthesis were optimal at pH 5 and $20^{\circ}C$. Polysaccharide synthesis was maximal after 12 days of cultivation, whereas maximum mycelial growth was shown after 18 days. Mannose, cellobiose and starch increased the level of polysaccharide as well as growth in submerged culture. Glucose and sucrose appeared to be good substrates for fruiting of Grifola frondosa.

The effects of various carbon sources on mycelial growth and polysaccharide synthesis of the medicinal fungus Inonotus obliquus in liquid fermentation were investigated. After 12-d fermentation, mycelial biomass, polysaccharide yield, and polysaccharide content were significantly higher in Glc+Lac group (glucose and lactose used as combined carbon source) than in other groups. Crude polysaccharides (CIOPs) and the derivative neutral polysaccharides (NIOPs) were obtained from mycelia fermented using Glc, fructose (Fru), Lac, or Glc+Lac as carbon source. Molecular weights of four NIOPs (termed as NIOPG, NIOPF, NIOPL, and NIOPGL) were respectively 780.90, 1105.00, 25.32, and 10.28 kDa. Monosaccharide composition analyses revealed that NIOPs were composed of Glc, Man, and Gal at different molar ratios. The NIOPs were classified as α-type heteropolysaccharides with 1→2, 1→3, 1→4, 1→6 linkages in differing proportions. In in vitro cell proliferation assays, viability of RAW264.7 macrophages was more strongly enhanced by NIOPL or NIOPGL than by NIOPG or NIOPF, and proliferation of HeLa or S180 tumor cells was more strongly inhibited by NIOPG or NIOPGL than by NIOPF or NIOPL, indicating that immune-enhancing and anti-tumor activities of NIOPs were substantially affected by carbon source. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that expression levels of phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) and UDP-Glc 4-epimerase (UGE), two key genes involved in polysaccharide synthesis, varied depending on carbon source. Our findings, taken together, clearly demonstrate that carbon source plays an essential role in determining structure and activities of I. obliquus polysaccharides by regulating expression of key genes in polysaccharide biosynthetic pathway.

신령버섯(Agaricus blazei Murill)의 액체 배양으로 다당체의 균사체외 분비를 유도하였으며, 버섯 균사체의 새포내 다당체와 세포외 분비 다당체의 면역증진활성을 in vitro 시험으로 비교하였다. 부분 정제된 세포내 다당체와 세포외 다당체의 총당 함량은 각각 85.6%와 95.3%였으며, ${\beta}$-glucan 함량은 각각 67.9%와 88.1%로 측정되었다. 면역활성 실험에는 시료의 닥 함량을 동일하게 맞추어 사용하였다. In vitro에서 균사체내외 다당체는 대식세포 주인 RAW 264.7을 활성화시켜 nitric oxide (NO) 생성을 농도 의존적으로 증가시켰으며, 각각 최대 53.9%, 53.1%의 비슷한 증가활성을 나타내었다. 또 균사채내외 다당체는 모두 RAW 264.7을 활성화시켜 염중성 cytokine류인 interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$의 생성을 증가시켰으며, 이때 3종의 cytokine 모두에서, 세포내 다당체에 비해 세포외 다당체를 처리했을때 저농도에서 높은 증가률을 나타내었다. 두 다당체는 in vitro 상에서 비장세포를 증식시키는 효과를 나타내었으며, 세포내 다당체가 농도 의존적으로 증식효과를 보인데 반해 세포외 다당체는 저농도에서 증식이 높았고, $250\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도 이상에서는 더 높아지지 않았다. 두 다당체 모두 암세포인 B16F0 melanoma에 대한 직접적인 세포독성 효과는 나타내지 않았다. 신령버섯 균사체 배양으로 생성된 세포내외 다당체는 in vitro에서 모두 면역활성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며 전반적으로 그 활성은 세포내 다당체보다 세포외 다당체가 우수한 것으로 판단되었다.

Cytoprotective ability of polysaccharides isolated from different edible mushrooms was investigated on the 7-ketocholesterol-induced damaged cell line. Polysaccharide extracts from six different edible mushrooms-Flammulina velutipes, Peurotus ostreatus, Lentinus edodes, Agrocybe aegerita, Agaricus blazei, and Cordyceps militaris- were prepared by hot water extraction and alcohol precipitation. Cytoprotective ability was evaluated by measuring the viable cells of the normal embryonic liver cell line (BNL CL. 2) in the presence of 7-ketocholesterol. At $80\;{\mu}g/mL$ of 7-ketocholesterol, cytotoxicity was very high with a loss of 98% of viable cells after 20 h of incubation. With the addition of $200\;{\mu}g/mL$ of each polysaccharide isolate to the cell line containing $80\;{\mu}g/mL$ of 7-ketocholesterol, polysaccharide isolates from both Flammulina velutipes and Peurotus ostreatus could significantly inhibit the 7-ketochoelsterol-induced cytotoxicity in the cells. But other polysaccharide isolates were not effective in inhibiting cell damage caused by the oxLDL-induced cytotoxicity.

Apoemulsan is a biopolymer with potent emulsification activity, produced by Acinetobacter venetian us RAG-1 (RAG-1). The wee gene cluster is responsible for apoemulsan biosynthesis. The analysis of (i) a putative polysaccharide copolymerase mutant (${\Delta}wzc$), (ii) a putative polymerase mutant (${\Delta}wzy$), and (iii) an apoemulsan-deficient variant (${\Delta}2$) indicated that the wee gene cluster controls the synthesis of two polysaccharides: high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW). LMW polysaccharide of wee origin was present in LPS isolated from RAG-1 cells, suggesting a link to the Lipid A-core of LPS molecules. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that apoemulsan is copurified with LPS polysaccharide, with implications in the emulsification activity of RAG-1 polymer.

Melanogenesis is a physiological process resulting in the synthesis of melanin pigment. We investigated the inhibitory effect of crude polysaccharide of water extract of Artemisia iwayomgi Kitamura (AI) on melanin biosystheies in B16/F10 melanoma cells. Crude polysaccharide of water extract of Artemisia iwayomgi Kitamura significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin contents with or without $\alpha$-MSH in vivo. Melanin contents and tyrosinase activity were decreased in a dose-dependent manner,These results show that crude polysaccharide of water extract of Artemisia iwayomgi Kitamura could be developed as skin whitening components of cosmetics.

The efficient synthesis of a tetrasaccharide, the suitably protected form of the repeat unit, →2)-α-D-Manp-(1→2)-β-D-Manp-(1→3)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1→6)-α-D-Manp-(1→, of the O-antigen polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide from E. coli O77 has been accomplished. Glycosylation reactions for the coupling of four monosaccharide building blocks of the tetrasaccharide were carried out employing the CB glycoside method, the mannosyl 4-pentenoate/PhSeOTf method, and the glycosyl trichloroacetimidate method with complete stereoselectivities in excellent yields.

본 연구는, catabolic repression시킨 효모세포를 완전배지와 최소배지에서 derepression시켜, 배양시기 및 인산 첨가농도(free, limited, sufficient)에 따른 5종의 다당류 합성변화를 조사하였다. 그리고 다당류 합성과 무기폴리인산 축적량 및 인지질 합성 사이의 상관지수를 구하여 합성시 관련되는 유의한 정도를 검정하였다. 그 결과, 최소배지에서 catabolic derepression시킨 효모세포가, 완전배지에서 derepression시킨 세포에 비하여, glycogen의 합성이 발리 그리고 많이 일어났고, acid soluble glycogen type이 주된 함량을 나타내었으며, alkali soluble glycogen은 당이 많이 소모된 24시간 배양 후에 소량 나타났다. 무기인산 첨가정도에 따라 total glycogen합성이 일정한 비율로 빨리 그리고 높게 일어났다. Glucan의 합성에는 ALPase 중 ALPase "C"가 관련할 것으로 추정되었다. Mannan은 ezponential phase초기와 정체기때, acid soluble 분획은 정체기때 최대함량을 나타내었다. Mannan 합성과 poly-P "C"축적량 사이의 상관지수는 0.866, mannan합성과 인지질 사이의 상관지수는 0.726으로 나타나 매우 유의하였다.

Although polysaccharide is believed to play an important role in the medicinal effect of Dendrobium chrysotoxum Lindl (DCL), its role as an antioxidant and in anti-hyperglycemic induction was not reported. In this study, polysaccharide with molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa, herein named DCLP, was isolated from the stem of DCL, and its antioxidative, hypoglycemic and immune stimulating effects were evaluated using various in vitro and in vivo assay systems. DCLP inhibited hydroxyl radicals ($^{\cdot}$OH)-mediated deoxyribose degradation by scavenging hydroxyl radicals directly as well as by chelating iron ions. DCLP also showed dose-dependent scavenging activity on superoxide anions ($O_2^{{\cdot}-}$) and offered significant protection (p < 0.001) against glucose oxidase-mediated cytotoxicity in Jurkat cells. DCLP had immune stimulating effects, as evidenced by the DCLP-mediated increases in the level of DNA synthesis, viability, and cytokine secretion in mouse lymphocytes. Moreover, oral administration of DCLP produced a significant reduction in blood glucose level in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. These findings suggest that DCLP has a potential utility in treating patients who require enhanced antioxidation, immune function and/or hypoglycemic activity.
