In Vitro Immunomodulation of the Polysaccharides from Yam (<i>Dioscorea opposita</i> Thunb.) in Response to a Selenylation of Lower Extent

The immunomodulation of chemically selenylated polysaccharides has been attracting more attention recently, but the corresponding performance of the yam polysaccharides (YPS) with lower selenylation extent remains, thus far, unsolved. In this study, the YPS was selenylated with Na<sub>2</su...

In Vitro Immunomodulation of the Polysaccharides from Yam (<i>Dioscorea opposita</i> Thunb.) in Response to a Selenylation of Lower Extent
description The immunomodulation of chemically selenylated polysaccharides has been attracting more attention recently, but the corresponding performance of the yam polysaccharides (YPS) with lower selenylation extent remains, thus far, unsolved. In this study, the YPS was selenylated with Na<sub>2</sub>SeO<sub>3</sub> under acidic conditions generated by HNO<sub>3</sub> to reach two lower selenylation extents, yielding two selenylated YPSs, namely SeYPS-1 and SeYPS-2 with selenium contents of 715 and 1545 mg/kg, respectively. The results indicated that YPS, SeYPS-1, and SeYPS-2 all had in vitro immuno-modulation when using RAW 264.7 macrophages and murine splenocytes as cell models. In detail, the three polysaccharide samples at dose levels of 5–160 μg/mL showed insignificant cytotoxicity to the macrophages and splenocytes with cell exposure times of 12–24 h, because of the measured values of cell viability larger than 100%. However, Na<sub>2</sub>SeO<sub>3</sub> at dose levels of 1.3–3.25 μg/mL mostly caused obvious cytotoxic effects on the cells, resulting in reduced cell viability values or cell death, efficiently.
