The invention relates to application of atractylodes macrocephalaon
polysaccharide in medicaments or healthcare products for improving kuffer
cell immune function, belonging to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine. According to the application, homemade PAM (atractylodes macrocephalaon
polysaccharide) is adopted for testing the influences on the mouse Kupffer
cell immune function. The PAM
in vitro is acted to a normal Kupffer
cell so as to evaluate the immune function and the
cell damage situation according to the
phagocytosis quantity of
neutral red A540, the secreting quantity of NO and TNF (
tumor necrosis factor)-alpha as well as the LDH (
lactate dehydrogenase) leakage quantity; after in-vivo mice are injected with the PAM, the indexes of the Kupffer cell, the activity of
intracellular ACP (
acid phosphatase) as well as the serum ALT and GST are detected. The result shows that the PAM intensifies the
phagocytosis to the
neutral red caused by Kupffer cell, improves the ACP activity as well as increases the generation amount of NO and TNF-alpha. The PAM
in vitro does not increase parenchymal hepatic cell LDH leakage, and has no influence on the activities of sALT and sGST, so that the PAM can activate the Kupffer cell immune function, improves the
organism disease resistance, and has an actual application value at the treatment aspect of diseases of
immunodeficiency disease, tumor and the like.
