Abstract

We developed a rapid isolation method for fractionation of polysaccharides with different characteristics, and optimized it for the polysaccharide mixture from Korean citrus peels. A crude polysaccharide mixture, citrus-peel-enzyme (CPE) fraction was isolated from the citrus peels digested with pectinase and ethanol precipitation. CPE was further fractionated with serially diluted ethanol solution (ethanol:deionized water=8:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1.5:1, 1:1, and 0.5:1) to produce seven fractions labeled from CPE8 to CPE0.5. Fraction from CPE8 to CPE1 were mostly composed of 11 different sugars, including rhamnogalacturonan (RG) I and II, and the sugars contained arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactan moiety. However, CPE0.5 did not contain RG-II and arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactans. Treatment of macrophages with fractions CPE8-CPE1 led to a dose-dependent increase in interleukin-6 production (IL-6), while treatment with CPE1 and CPE0.5 fractions resulted in decreased levels of IL-6. These results indicate that this isolation method may be useful for the rapid fractionation of bioactive RGs from polysaccharide mixtures.

다당의 생물활성은 다당의 구조적인 특징과 분자량 분포에 의해 중요한 영향을 미치기 때문에, 특정 다당의 정제는 다당 연구를 위해 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 특성을 소유한 다당의 분획을 위한 신속 분리 방법을 개발하고 대표 화합물로 한국산 귤피로부터 조제한 다당 혼합물을 이용, 본 분리법을 최적화 하였다. 귤피는 펙티나아제 처리 후 에탄올 침전법을 통해 조다당 획분인 CPE로 조제되었으며, CPE는 재차 농도별로 연속 희석된 에탄올 용액(EtOH:DIW=8:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1.5:1, 1:1, 및 0.5:1)을 이용하여 7가지 획분(CPE8-CPE0.5)으로 분획되었다. CPE8-CPE1획분은 구성당 분석 결과 람노갈락투로난-I과 람노갈락투로난-II 다당의 지표 구성당인 총 11종의 서로 다른 당으로 구성되어 있었으며, arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactan 잔기를 함유하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 CPE0.5 획분에서는 람노갈락투로난-II 및 arabino-${\beta}$-3,6-galactan 잔기를 함유하고 있지 않았다. 한편, CPE8-CPE1 획분을 처리한 mouse 복강 대식세포에서는 농도의존적으로 IL-6의 생산 증가가 관찰된 반면, CPE1 및 CPE0.5 획분에서는 활성이 급격히 감소됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 이상의 결과로부터 분리방법이 다양한 특성을 갖는 다당의 혼합물로부터 생물활성을 갖는 람노갈락투로난류를 신속히 분리하는데 매우 유용한 것으로 판단되었다.
