Low molecular-weight seleno-aminopolysaccharides (LSA) have been shown to possess a variety of biological activities in vitro. In the present study, we further investigated the immunomodulatory effect of LSA on immunosuppressive mice induced by cyclophosphamide (CPA) and its molecular mechanism. The results demonstrated that LSA could significantly increase spleen and thymus indices, proliferation of splenic lymphocyte, the secretion of cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and INF-γ) of serum and ileum, and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) content of small intestine. LSA dramatically improved the gene expression levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and INF-γ in small intestine by real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Furthermore, our data indicated that LSA could significantly increase the gene expression levels of IL-1β and iNOS in RAW264.7 cells. LSA was further shown to remarkably promote inhibitor kappa Bα (IκBα) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 phosphorylation with western blot analysis. Taken together, these findings suggest that LSA has immunomodulatory activity on immunosuppressive mice and macrophage RAW264.7 cells, and its mechanism may be related to activation of NF-κB signaling pathway.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
