Objective: To investigate the proliferation and cytokine expression of Auricularia auricula polysaccharide (AAP) on peripheral blood monnuclear cells (PBMCs) in vitro.
Methods: AAP was obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation, and purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatogram. PBMCs were treated with AAP at different levels. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to determine the proliferation of PBMCs. The concentration of TNF-alpha and TFN-gamma in supernatant were investigated by ELISA.
Results: The three fractions of AAP could stimulate PBMCs proliferation at the range of 100--800 microg/ml, and AAP2 enhanced significantly the level of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma in supernatant of PBMCs (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
Conclusion: AAP is an immunomodulator and can enhance the immunomodulatory activity through TNF-alpha and TFN-gamma.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by the interplay between immune responses and dysbiosis in disease development. Aiming to provide additional insights into disease development and potential treatment strategies, the present study investigates the local effect of oral treatment with polysaccharides obtained from 's submerged culture in an experimental model of DSS-induced colitis and its impact on lesion resolution. : The structure and monosaccharide composition of polysaccharides were characterized through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).

With the acceleration of the pace of life, increased stress levels, and changes in lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise, the incidence of diseases such as cancer and immunodeficiency has been on the rise, which is closely associated with the impaired antioxidant capacity of the body. Polypeptides and polysaccharides derived from edible fungi demonstrate significant strong antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects. , the second most cultivated mushroom in China, is not only nutritionally rich but also offers considerable health benefits.

Intestinal inflammation involves barrier impairment, immune hyperactivation, and oxidative stress imbalance. Bioactive polysaccharides universally alleviate inflammation via anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating effects, yet exhibit distinct core mechanisms. Elucidating these differences is vital for targeted polysaccharide applications.

Fungi have a high resistance to gamma radiation. Previous studies elucidating the resistance mechanisms to gamma radiation have mainly been conducted using yeast model organisms, but molecular-level mechanisms targeting fungi have been largely unexplored. In order to examine the response of to gamma radiation, we conducted comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA-Seq on fruit bodies derived from mycelium exposed with 200 Gray of gamma radiation.
