玉米花丝多糖和葛根多糖的结构表征及其对肥胖小鼠降脂与肠道菌群的影响

Structural Characterization of Corn Silk and Pueraria lobata Polysaccharides and Hypolipidemic Activity and Intestinal Microbiota Modulation in Obese Mice

  • 摘要: 为探究玉米花丝多糖和葛根多糖的结构表征及其对肥胖小鼠降脂与肠道菌群的影响,以玉米花丝为原料提取了玉米花丝多糖,对其单糖组成、相对分子量、紫外光谱、红外光谱及微观形貌等进行表征,并通过喂养高脂饲料建立肥胖小鼠模型,使用玉米花丝多糖、葛根多糖以及玉米花丝复配葛根多糖对肥胖小鼠进行干预,并对一般生理指标、肝脏病理学切片、脂代谢指标、16s肠道菌群检测以及短链脂肪酸等指标进行检测及分析。结果表明,玉米花丝多糖的单糖组成为甘露糖、鼠李糖、葡萄糖醛酸、葡萄糖、木糖、半乳糖和阿拉伯糖,相对分子量为10.257 kDa,是一种表面粗糙的无定形片状结构的多糖。葛根多糖的单糖组成为甘露糖、鼠李糖、半乳糖醛酸、半乳糖、木糖、阿拉伯糖和岩藻糖,相对分子量为20.62 kDa,是一种表面光滑的块状结构的多糖。并发现复配多糖能够有效减轻肥胖小鼠的体重,相较于模型组,复配多糖能够显著降低(P<0.05)肝脏、附睾脂肪、总胆固醇(Total cholesterol,TC)、甘油三酯(Triglyceride,TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol,LDL-C)、丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)水平,显著升高(P<0.05)高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol,HDL-C)和过氧化氢酶(Catalase,CAT)水平。同时,复配多糖还能够调节肠道菌群组成,包括改变α、β-多样性,增加有益菌杜氏菌属(Dubosiella)、穆里杆菌属(Muribaculum)和阿克曼菌属(Akkermansia)的相对丰度,显著提高了(P<0.05)粪便中丁酸和异戊酸的含量。玉米花丝多糖复配葛根多糖能够有效减轻肥胖小鼠的体重,这与调节代谢、肠道菌群组成和短链脂肪酸的含量有关。本研究可为多糖复配开发抗肥胖的功能性食品提供新路径。

     

    Abstract: This study characterizes the structural properties of corn silk polysaccharides (CSP) and Pueraria lobata Ohwi polysaccharides (PLP), evaluating their lipid-lowering efficacy and modulatory effects on the gut microbiota in obese mice. Structural elucidation included monosaccharide composition, molecular weight distribution, spectroscopic analysis (UV and FT-IR), and surface micromorphology. Diet-induced obesity was established in mice via a high-fat diet (HFD). The subjects were subsequently treated with CSP, PLP, or a CSP-PLP complex. Compositional analysis revealed that CSP is a 10.257 kDa heteropolysaccharide comprising mannose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose. Morphological evaluation via SEM showed that CSP exhibits a characteristic rough surface and an amorphous, sheet-like ultrastructure. In contrast, PLP possessed a higher molecular weight (20.62 kDa) and a distinct monosaccharide profile including fucose and galacturonic acid. Morphologically, PLP displayed a smooth surface and a dense, massive conformation. Administration of the CSP-PLP complex effectively attenuated weight gain in obese mice. Compared to the HFD-fed model group, the CSP-PLP complex significantly suppressed (P<0.05) hepatic lipid accumulation, epididymal fat mass, and serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, and MDA. Conversely, HDL-C concentrations and CAT enzymatic activity were markedly elevated (P<0.05), suggesting improved lipid profiles and antioxidant capacity. Concurrently, the CSP-PP complex modulated gut microbiota homeostasis, as evidenced by significant shifts in α- and β-diversity. Specifically, treatment promoted the relative abundance of beneficial taxa, including Dubosiella, Muribaculum, and Akkermansia. These microbial alterations were accompanied by a significant increase (P<0.05) in fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyric and isovaleric acids. The synergistic administration of corn silk and Pueraria polysaccharides effectively mitigates obesity in mice, a process mediated by the modulation of systemic metabolism, gut microbiota architecture, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) profiles. These findings elucidate a novel therapeutic strategy for obesity management and provide a theoretical foundation for the development of polysaccharide-based functional foods.
