Antitumor Activity of Bee Pollen Polysaccharides from Rosa rugosa
Mol Med Rep, 2013 Mar 20
In the present study, bee pollen polysaccharides from Rosa
rugosa (WRPP) were extracted and fractionated. WRPP were purified to neutral
(WRPP-N) and acidic polysaccharides (WRPP-1, WRPP-2) with DEAE-Cellulose.
WRPP-N were mainly composed of glucose, mannose, arabinose
and galactose, indicating the existence of glucan, arabinogalactan (AG) and
mannoglucan. WRPP-1 mainly consisted of rhamnose (3.0%), galacturonic acid
(12.4%), galactose (24.7%) and arabinose (53.9%), and contained a large
proportion of AGs. WRPP-2 consisted of rhamnose (7.8%), galacturonic acid
(23.0%), galactose (15%) and arabinose (48.7%), while WRPP-2 contained more
galacturonic acid compared to WRPP-1. WRPP-1 and WRPP-2 were composed by type I
rhamnogalacturonan (RG-I), homogalacturonan (HG) and AG fragments, while WRPP-2
contained more HG and RG-I.
All the fractions had significant anti-proliferative
activity in HT-29 and HCT116 cells; the neutral and acidic fractions were shown
to have significant synergistic effects which accounted for the antitumor
activity of bee pollen polysaccharides from Rosa rugosa in vitro.
