Abstract

|
In this study, we aimed to elucidate the intracellular signaling pathways for macrophage activation by the polysaccharide GBW-II purified from ginseng berry. GBW-II consists of 14 different sugars, including rarely observed sugars such as 2-O-methyl-xylose, apiose, aceric acid, 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid, and 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-lyxo-2-heptulosaric acid, which are typical RG-II component sugars. GBW-II enhanced the production of IL-6 and TNF-α in RAW 264.7 cells. In experiments evaluating specific inhibitor activity, it was found that the production of IL-6 was suppressed by inhibitors of SB, PD, and BAY, and the production of TNF-α was suppressed by PD and BAY. The experiments with neutralizing antibodies showed that TLR4 was involved in the stimulation of IL-6 production by GBW-II in RAW 264.7 cells, whereas TNF-α production was regulated through SR and TLR2. These results suggest that GBW-II activates the MAPK and NF-κB pathways via several macrophage receptors, including SR, TLR2, and TLR4, and subsequently induces the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α.
