摘要

Beauveria bassiana is a widely used entomopathogenic fungus with great potential as a bioactive substance. However, there is little research on the mycelial polysaccharides from B. bassiana. In this study, strain B. bassiana C9, isolated from silkworms, was selected as a highly polysaccharide-producing strain. Two purified polysaccharides, BJ-1P and BJ-2, were extracted from the mycelium of strain C9 and purified by graded alcohol precipitation and ion-exchange column chromatography. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of BJ-1P, BJ-2 were 1758.82, 18.21 kDa, respectively, and their monosaccharide compositions mainly comprised glucose, galactose and mannose, at different molar ratios. The IC50 values of DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activities of BJ-1P were 2.58, 8.29 mg/mL, and BJ-2 were 2.74, 3.63 mg/mL, respectively, indicating that both BJ-1P and BJ-2 exhibit excellent antioxidant activities. BJ-1P and BJ-2, at concentrations of 0.1–1 mg/mL, significantly inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in RAW264.7 macrophage induced by lipopolysaccharide and BJ-2 had excellent anti-inflammatory effect. Moreover, BJ-1P and BJ-2 significantly inhibited melanin synthesis in B16 melanoma cell, but had no significant effect on tyrosinase activity, speculated that BJ-1P and BJ-2 were through reducing ROS and inflammatory interleukin during the melanin synthesis process, thereby inhibiting melanin synthesis. This study presents novel findings indicating that B. bassiana mycelial polysaccharides can inhibit melanin synthesis. Furthermore, it was found that the polysaccharides of B. bassiana C9 have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and possess efficacy in reducing melanin content, indicating good application prospects as functional ingredients.
