Abstract
In recent years, the immunomodulatory efficacy of Dendrobium officinale leaf polysaccharide (DOLP) has attracted much attention, but its potential immunomodulatory mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the molecular mechanism of DOLP to ameliorate cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice based on transcriptome profiling technology. The results indicated that DOLP significantly mitigated damage to immune organs, regulated the expression levels of inflammatory factors and immunoglobulins, and restored the balance of gut microbiota. Furthermore, it modulated metabolic pathways associated with the immune system, including antigen processing and presentation, hematopoietic cell line development, and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity. DOLP might promote host hematopoietic function to enhance immune cell proliferation and differentiation by up-regulating Cd19, Cr2 and Il7r but down-regulating Dntt. DOLP also up-regulated the expression of MHC-1 (Gm11127, H2-K1, H2-Q10, H2-Q6, and H2-Q7), thus promoting antigen recognition by NK cells to enhance the innate immunity and helping T cells to deliver antigen and secrete immune factors so that enhancing the adaptive immunity.
