Abstract:
Objective To explore the immunomodulatory effects of seaweed polysaccharide(PSS)in aged mice induced by D-ga-lactose (D-gal).Methods D-gal was injected intraperitoneally to establish the aged mice model,meanwhile the aged mice was intra-gastricly administrated by PSS.Peritoneal macrophages were collected,and macrophage secretion of nitric oxide (NO),nitric oxide synthase (NOS)levels and expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)mRNA were detected.The spleen indexs of the agd mice were calculated,and effects of PSS on spleen microscopic structure of mouse were observed.The changes of spleen cell cycle in aged model mice were detected by flow cytometry assay.Results PSS could enhance macrophage synthesis of NO and NOS of the aged mice and up-regulate the expression of iNOS mRNA levels.And the spleen index of the aged mice increased obviously, the hyperplasia of spleen capsule was obvious.Moreover,PSS could increase the percentage of S phase and G2/M phase cells of the aged mice spleen.Conclusion PSS could enhance the immune function of aged mice induced by D-gal,which is worthy of further study,which development.
