Effect of orally administered polysaccharide from kefir grain on delayed-type hypersensitivity and tumor growth in mice.
The effect of oral administration of a polysaccharide (KGF-C), isolated from the kefir grain, on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) induced by picryl chloride and on the growth of solid tumor was examined in mice. KGF-C caused an increase in DTH response in intact mice and also tumor-bearing mice. The growth of tumor inoculated after the DTH test was markedly inhibited in the groups with high ...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of orally administered maitake α-glucan by stimulating antitumor immune response in murine tumor
Maitake α-glucan, YM-2A, isolated from Grifola frondosa, has been characterized as a highly α-1,6-branched α-1,4 glucan. YM-2A has been shown to possess an anti-virus effect in mice; however, it does not directly inhibit growth of the virus in vitro, indicating that the anti-virus effect of YM-2A might be associated with modulation of the host immune system. In this study, we found that oral ad...
متن کاملAntitumor mechanisms of orally administered shiitake fruit bodies.
When tumor-bearing mice were given diet containing fruit bodies of shiitake (L-feed), the tumor growth was apparently inhibited. To elucidate the mechanisms of this action, the effects of the L-feed on the production superoxide anion (SOA) by macrophages and the cytotoxicity of natural killer T cells were studied. When MM-46 carcinoma-bearing C3H mice were maintained on L-feed (containing 20% s...
متن کاملCharacterization and Potential Antitumor Activity of Polysaccharide from Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis
Substances with valuable antitumor properties have been identified in many marine algae, including an edible polysaccharide from the marine alga Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (PGL). We previously reported transcriptome profiling data showing that PGL induced transcriptional alterations generate anti-lung cancer activity. To identify how PGL is detrimental to tumors, we purified PGL to characteri...
متن کاملCharacterization and antitumor activity of a polysaccharide from Sarcodia ceylonensis.
A water-soluble polysaccharide from Sarcodia ceylonensis was obtained by using the method of water-extraction and ethanol-precipitation. The polysaccharide was further purified by chromatography on AB-8 and ADS-7 columns, yielding a pure polysaccharide termed SCP-60. The molecular weight (Mw) of SCP-60 was calculated to be 50.0 kDa, based on the calibration curve obtained with a series of Dextr...
