E-selectin-mediated cell-cell adhesion plays an important role in infl ammatory processes and extravasation of tumor cells. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induces E-selectin gene and protein expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In the present study, we show a low molecular weight polysaccharide isolated from Agaricus blazei (LMPAB) depress the TNF-α-stimulated increase in E-selectin protein expression, and similar results were obtained for E-selectin mRNA expression. Th e results indicated that the eff ect of LMPAB is based on inhibition of gene expression, and the eff ective inhibitory of LMPAB was in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, LMPAB depress n uclear factor -kappa B protein expression and nuclear translocation. Inhibition of E-selectin expression by LMPAB gives rise to a signifi cant reduction in TNF-α stimulated adhesion of HT-29 cells to HUVEC. Th e data support the view that LMPAB might be therapeutic agent against E-selectin- mediated metastasis.
