Abstract
The present study reports the structural characteristics of 3 polysaccharide fractions (SPS-F1, SPS-F2 and SPS-F3) isolated and purified from squash. SPS-F1 (molecular weight (Mw) = 12.30 kDa) and SPS-F2 (Mw = 19.40 kDa) were likely to contain HG and RG-I domain of pectic polysaccharide, respectively. SPS-F2 (Mw = 270.4 kDa) was mainly composed of rhamnose, galactose and arabinose. The treatment with SPS decreased body weight gain, glucose and TG levels in type 2 diabetes rats. Besides, 25 differential metabolites were identified based on urinary metabolomics analysis, which are crucial to the anti-diabetic effect of SPS. The regulation of nicotinamide N-oxide, histamine, cis-aconitate, citrate, L-malic acid, 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid and N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid were mainly associated with energy metabolism, gut microbiota and inflammation. Study of surface plasmon resonance revealed the binding kinetics with galectin-3 (Gal-3) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). The KD values of SPS-F2 and SPS-F3 to Gal-3 were 4.97 × 10-3 and 1.48 × 10-3 mol/L, indicating a weak binding affinity. All 3 fractions showed moderate binding to FGF2 and the affinity was SPS-F3 > SPS-F2 > SPS-F1. Thus, the metabolomics and SPR approach were proved to be a promising tool in exploring the anti-diabetes effects of SPS and provided a deep understanding of the mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Food Science and Human Wellness is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the dissemination of the latest scientific results in food science, nutriology, immunology and cross-field research. Articles must present information that is novel, has high impact and interest, and is of high scientific quality. By their effort, it has been developed to promote the public awareness on diet, advocate healthy diet, reduce the harm caused by unreasonable dietary habit, and directs healthy food development for food industrial producers.
