ABSTRACT

24

Diabetes mellitus takes the worldwide concerns and obviously influences

25

humans’ quality of life. Dietary polysaccharides were mainly from natural sources,

26

namely plants, fungi, algae, etc. They were resistant to human digestion and

27

absorption with complete or partial fermentation in the large bowel and have shown

28

anti-diabetic ability. In this review, a literature search was conducted to provide

29

information on anti-diabetic mechanism of dietary polysaccharides, based on the

30

whole gastrointestinal process, which was a new angle of view for understanding their

31

anti-diabetic mechanism. Further researches could take efforts on the mechanisms of

32

the polysaccharide action through host-microbiota interactions targeting diabetes.

INTRODUCTION

46

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an impaired carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolic

47

syndrome induced by insufficient insulin secretion or decreased tissue sensitivity to

48

insulin.1 DM is attracting global attention, which has severely affected the quality of

49

life of human and is related to several severe complications.2 According to the

50

statistics of the International Diabetes Federation, about 0.45 billion people develop

51

DM in 2016, which is 14 times higher than the number of DM in 1980 and is expected

52

to increase to 0.6 billion in 2030.3 DM can be classified into three types. Type 1 DM

53

(T1DM), Type 2 DM (T2DM), and gestational DM (GDM). T2DM is focused in this

54

review, which accounts for about 90% of all DM cases, while the remaining 10% are

55

mainly T1DM and GDM.

56

It has been realized that the optimal selection of food and dietary factors play key

57

roles in preventing early T2DM and reducing the risk of lifelong T2DM.4 In terms of

58

food and dietary factors, the polysaccharide shows protective effect on T2DM. The

59

dietary polysaccharide mainly derives from natural foods, namely, plant, fungus and

60

alga,5,6 which show anti-digestion and anti-absorption capacity for the completely or

61

partly fermented human small intestine. In addition, they can protect against DM. This

62

review aims to provide information regarding the mechanism of dietary

63

polysaccharide against DM during the entire gastrointestinal process, so as to provide

64

a brand new viewpoint for the anti-DM mechanism of dietary polysaccharide.

Dietary polysaccharides

67

Dietary polysaccharides are defined as the polysaccharides from natural edible

68

sources, which are close to our daily life. They were mainly from various sources,

69

such as grain, plants, fruits, vegetables, fungi, algae, etc. They are constituted by

70

monosaccharide unit and connected through the glucosidic bond, which can provide

71

monosaccharide or oligosaccharide at the time of hydrolysis.7 The monosaccharide in

72

the polysaccharide has the general composition of (CH2O)n, where n is 3 or greater.8

73

Examples of these monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, rhamnose, xylose,

74

galactose, mannose and arabinose.

75 76

T2DM

77

T2DM is previously defined as insulin-independent DM, which takes up a

78

majority of DM cases.9 A majority of T2DM patients are obese from the middle age,

79

typically over 40 years. An individual can be diagnosed with T2DM at the fasting

80

blood glucose (FBG) of ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dl) or 2 h oral glucose tolerance test of

81

≥ 11.1mmol/L (200 mg/dl).10

82 83

Polysaccharide targeting mechanism in diabetes

84

Details about the anti-DM mechanism of polysaccharide during the

85

gastrointestinal process are discussed below. Dietary polysaccharide can alleviate DM

86

through the mechanisms of action of gastrointestinal viscosity, gastrointestinal satiety,

87

large intestinal fermentation and gastrointestinal anti-inflammation. 4

Targeting diabetes by gastrointestinal viscosity effect

90

The effect of polysaccharide on regulating hyperglycemia mainly depends on its

91

source, composition and preparation. Additionally, polysaccharide possesses a series

92

of physiological effects based on its physiochemical properties, including the upper

93

gastrointestinal tract viscosity.11 Meanwhile, the effect of polysaccharide on glucose

94

control is mainly achieved through altering its small intestinal transit time (SBTT),

95

preventing the carbohydrate from digestive enzyme suppression, and restraining these

96

enzymes.12

97 98

Inhibiting α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities

99

There are two potential factors inhibiting the activity of polysaccharide on

100

α-amylase. Firstly, it is found that there may be some groups or components (such as

101

free carboxyl groups, tannin and phytic acid) for suppressing amylase in

102

polysaccharide, which results in the direct effect of reducing α-amylase activity.

103

Secondly, polysaccharide can be absorbed onto the starch, thus preventing the

104

hydrolysis of starch by α-amylase.13

105

Hyperglycemia is the most important clinical symptom of T2DM, which is also

106

abnormal raised in fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. Therefore,

107

control over postprandial hyperglycemia is the main treatment for the management of

108

T2DM. All the digestible carbohydrates in mammals can be generally digested into

109

fructose and glucose, and only monosaccharide can be easily absorbed into the blood 5

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

110

in the small intestine.14 There are numerous active carbohydrates in the human body,

111

among which, small intestinal glucosidase and pancreatic α-amylase are the two most

112

important enzymes. α-amylase is the enzyme disintegrating the long-chain

113

carbohydrate. The α-glucosidase in intestinal brush border is essential for digesting

114

the oligosaccharide into monosaccharide. Consequently, restraining the α-glucosidase

115

and α-amylase activities can remarkably inhibit the conversion of glucose into the

116

blood glucose and decrease the postprandial blood glucose increase, which can thus

117

serve as an effective pathway for controlling the level of blood glucose in T2DM

118

patients.15 As is reported, multiple polysaccharides show inhibitory effect on

119

α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Dietary polysaccharides inhibiting α-amylase and

120

α-glucosidase from other natural sources are listed in Table 1.

121 122

Inhibiting glucose absorption efficacy and postprandial glycemia

123

Polysaccharide can reduce the uptake of postprandial blood glucose through

124

delaying food digestion and absorption. Different clinical studies have emphasized the

125

important role of soluble fiber viscosity in reducing postprandial blood glucose, which

126

have also verified that polysaccharide has enhanced effect on postprandial blood

127

glucose with the increase in viscosity. The diffusion rate of glucose can be inhibited

128

through polysaccharide viscosity.16 In addition, some research also indicates that

129

polysaccharide can bind with and adsorb glucose, thus maintaining low glucose

130

concentration in the small intestine.17

132

Targeting diabetes by gastrointestinal satiety effect

133

Consumption of polysaccharide foods may add to the satiety and reduce hunger

134

due to its huge volume and relatively low energy density, which will thus lead to

135

decreased energy intake. Meanwhile, polysaccharide can also affect the secretion of

136

intestinal hormones or peptides, such as cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide 1

137

(GLP-1), which may serve as the satiety factors or change the glucose homeostasis.18

138

Additionally, secrete of GLP-1 can be stimulated by soluble fiber fermentation in

139

large intestine. These intestinal hormones contribute to satiety. In addition,

140

polysaccharide-rich foods can also enhance the satiety through long-term chewing,

141

which will affect the amount and velocity of food intake. Meanwhile, they can

142

promote the production of saliva and gastric acid through enhancing gastric

143

distension.19

144 145

Targeting diabetes by large bowel fermentation

146

Microbiota alteration

147

The mammalian intestine is populated by billions of bacteria which mainly

148

belong to the species of phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Colonic microbes may

149

influence body weight, pro-inflammatory reaction, insulin resistance, and regulate gut

150

hormones to promote beneficial effects on T2DM. The number of beneficial bacteria

151

in patients with T2DM was lower than healthy individuals.20 Polysaccharides could

152

play an important role in dyspepsia, and have anti-hyperlipidemic, hpyerglycemic

153

effects when fermented by gut bacteria. The human gut microbiota plays a 7

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

154

fundamental role in diseases such as diabetes. Rising researches showed that

155

individuals with T2DM exhibited evidence of gut dysbiosis. Researchers observed

156

significantly improved level of four Lactobacillus species and obviously lower levels

157

of five Clostridium species in patients with T2DM than normal subjects.21 There were

158

obviously decreased levels of Clostridium coccoides group, Atopobium cluster and

159

Prevotella, and a significantly increased level of Lactobacillus in the feces of T2DM

160

patients in comparison with healthy people. A decreased ratio of the major phyla

161

Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and changes in several bacterial species were associated

162

with the development of T2DM in Chinese patients.22 Polysaccharides were reported

163

to have the ability to affect these bacterial species and thus further influence the state

164

of the diabetes. The possible mechanisms by which the polysaccharides are involved

165

in the development of diabetes included energy metabolism, inflammation, innate

166

immune system, and the bowel function of the intestinal barrier in microbiota. The

167

endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from intestinal Gram-negative bacteria may lead

168

to inflammation and insulin resistance by stimulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).23

169

Diabetic animals feeding with the plant polysaccharides intervention could

170

increase levels of gut Firmicutes and decreased levels of Bacteroidetes and alleviated

171

diabetes. It was reported that the polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum reduced

172

Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in high fat diet fed mice. It was also recently shown

173

that a low Bacteroidetes-to-Firmicutes ratio was correlated with weight loss. 24 In

174

addition, Faecalibacterium, a butyrate-producing bacterial group which could be

175

enhanced by polysaccharide intake, showed anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects 8

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 8 of 28

Page 9 of 28

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

176

partly through reducing colonic cytokine synthesis and increasing anti-inflammatory

177

cytokine secretion. Diabetic patients had lower abundance of Faecalibacterium

178

compared with non-diabetic patients, suggesting a negative correlation with

179

inflammatory cytokines C-reactive protein and IL-6. Another study also showed that

180

the gut of T2DM patients was characterized by a reduction of Faecalibacterium

181

compared with that of healthy people.25 Three other genera, Prevotella, Clostridium

182

and Ruminococcus which were also reported to confer beneficial effects to diabetes,

183

were increased after polysaccharide supplementation. Prevotella is a mucin degrading

184

bacterium and associated with low-grade inflammation. Ruminococcus is the

185

predominant acetogens in the enrichments of acetic acid. In addition, high abundance

186

of Lachnospira may induce significant increases in fasting blood glucose levels and

187

decreases in plasma insulin levels and HOMA-β values. Helicobacter infection has

188

been defined as a predisposing factor to T2DM development. Importantly, they are

189

Gram-negative bacteria. Other studies suggested that lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from

190

intestinal Gram-negative bacteria into the bloodstream may lead to metabolic

191

inflammation in diabetic mice due to stimulation of TLR4-mediated inflammation.

192

Polysaccharide was also reported to induce the microbiota to reduce the production of

193

intestinal Gram-negative bacteria and the gut hormones such as GLP-1, peptide YY,

194

and cholecystokinin which regulate appetite and energy balance.26 Table 2 provides

195

some examples of different dietary polysaccharides which could attenuate diabetes by

196

monitoring microbiota.

SCFA production of polysaccharide

199

Polysaccharide has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in hepatic as well

200

as peripheral tissues in diabetic persons. This may include replacement of some easily

201

digested carbohydrate with the polysaccharide, which is broken down in the digestive

202

tract to SCFAs. The absorbed SCFAs may also have forthright effect on mechanisms

203

associated with insulin sensitivity, by either substituting gluconeogenic response or

204

enhancing glucose uptake by adipose tissue and muscle. The long-term reduction in

205

postprandial

206

supplementation, was thought to improve insulin sensitivity via the combined actions

207

of decreasing diurnal insulin excursions, lowering postprandial counter regulatory

208

hormone excretion and reducing gastric inhibitory polypeptide secretion.

209

Recently, a potential relationship between SCFAs and T2DM pathophysiology

210

has been clearly suggested. In particular, propionic and butyric acids were shown to

211

reduce low-grade inflammation, regulate cell proliferation and differentiation, and

212

induce hormone release. Butyrate producing intestinal bacteria seems to play an

213

important role in blood glucose regulation and lipid metabolism, as shown by fecal

214

transplantation studies. These beneficial effects of SCFAs were not only related to

215

their property as histone deacetylase inhibitors, but also associated with their

216

activation

217

Polysaccharides from various resources, such as Plantago asiataca L. seeds,

218

Cyclocarya paliurus leaves, Ganoderma atrum, Dendrobium officinale and others

219

have been confirmed to improve production of SCFAs, which were beneficial to the

220

diabetics. For example, butyrate prevented and inhibited colon carcinogenesis,

221

protected against oxidative stress of mucosal, decreased inflammation and enhanced

222

colonic defense barrier in diabetes.27

223

Concomitant with the improvement of SCFAs, dyslipidemia was significantly

224

improved by polysaccharide treatment compared with untreated T2DM rats, and

225

polysaccharide dose-dependently reduced FBG level and insulin resistance in T2DM

226

rats. The butyrate stimulated enteroendocrine cells to increase concentration of serum

227

GLP-1, and thus butyrate affected insulin sensitivity by stimulating the secretion of

228

GLP-1.28 The improvement of insulin sensitivity in recipients was also found to relate

229

with the increased butyrate-producing microbiota due to polysaccharide intake. In

230

addition, the SCFAs production of polysaccharide beneficially affected lipid

231

metabolism through acetate decreasing free fatty acids (FFA) levels, while propionate

232

and butyrate reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The consequences of

233

elevated free fatty acids levels include hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance,

234

impaired pancreatic β-cell function and induction of apoptosis.

235 236

Targeting diabetes by anti-gastrointestinal inflammation

237

Polysaccharide targeting inflammation in diabetes

238

The gut tract owns the highest immune activity of the body maintaining

239

homeostasis with microbiota, and also responded to the inflammation by a network of

240

innate and adaptive immunity. Studies have confirmed that an inflammatory process

241

contributed to the dysfunction of islet β-cells and insulin resistance in T2DM. In 11

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

242

preclinical studies, anti-inflammatory drugs, such as IL-1 and receptor antagonists,

243

reduced hyperglycaemia, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced inflammatory

244

infiltrates and fibrosis in the islets, suggesting alleviated β-cell dysfunction and

245

improved survival.29 The β-cell apoptosis is directly linked to the expression of Bax

246

and Bcl-2. Significantly decreased Bcl-2 expression and evaluated Bax expression

247

were observed in the pancreas of the diabetic rats in a previous report. After

248

polysaccharide supplementation, these changes were effectively reversed and

249

accompanied by an elevated ratio of the Bcl-2/Bax.

250

During inflammation, a response is also enhanced by epithelial and innate

251

immune cells through ligation of different receptors by polysaccharide intake in

252

diabetes. The recognition of microbial particles particularly metabolites could take

253

place in the environment of innate NOD-like receptors, toll-like receptors, G

254

protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and others.

255 256

SCFA production of polysaccharide targeting inflammation in diabetes

257

T2DM is characterized by low-grade inflammation with increased levels of

258

cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1, or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).

259

These inflammatory molecules are up-regulated in insulin-target tissues, including the

260

liver, adipose tissue, and muscles, thus contributing to insulin resistance. It has been

261

reported that alterations in the SCFA production resulting from polysaccharide intake

262

could promote an anti-inflammatory state of the adipose tissue that is associated with

263

T2DM and subsequent insulin resistance.30 The up-regulation of TLR4 mRNA levels 12

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 12 of 28

Page 13 of 28

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

264

induced by high-fat diet in the liver of diabetes was shown to be counteracted by

265

butyrate resulting from polysaccharide intake. High-fat diet was associated with the

266

up-regulation of TNF-α and phosphorylation of NF-κB in the ileum, confirming that

267

fat intake might increase mediators of intestinal permeability and inflammation. The

268

polysaccharides can partly counteract these harmful effects through production of

269

SCFAs, particularly propionic and butyric acids that could have anti-inflammatory

270

effects in the body. The anti-inflammatory effects of SCFAs production of

271

polysaccharide

272

pro-inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-α and IL-6, and induction of

273

anti-inflammatory cytokines. The regulation of blood glucose concentrations may

274

involve several positive effects exerted by SCFA production of polysaccharide

275

occurring at different levels (Figure 1): (1) inhibition of inflammatory state that

276

decreased insulin resistance, (2) up-regulation of GLP-1 secretion that stimulates

277

insulin release, and (3) enhancement of beta-cell function that results from

278

improvement of glucose homeostasis.

279

Therefore, the use of polysaccharide in the food of diabetic patients could be a

280

promising and important way in controlling T2DM, because the dietary

281

polysaccharides could attenuate diabetes by the mechanisms of gastrointestinal

282

viscosity, gastrointestinal satiety, large bowel fermentation, and gastrointestinal

283

anti-inflammation effects (Figure 2). However, there is still a lot to learn about the

284

anti-diabetic mechanisms of the polysaccharides. The future challenge is to gain a

285

better understanding of the relationship between the polysaccharide-induced 13

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

286

microbiota change and the related anti-diabetic effects on host. Thus, the interactions

287

between microbiota and the host could play an important role at an anti-diabetic level.

288

Whether members of the microbiota and their other metabolites (lipids, peptides,

289

amino acids, vitamins, and nucleic acids) could promote anti-inflammatory effects in

290

diabetes also need further investigation. This presents a good opportunity for

291

scientists to evaluate the anti-diabetic roles of dietary polysaccharides and produce

292

high potential anti-diabetic dietary polysaccharides. Due to the significant effects of

293

polysaccharide on gastrointestinal process, further researches focus on the

294

mechanisms of the polysaccharide through host-microbiota interactions targeting the

295

diabetes should have priority and will be important for further understanding the

296

anti-diabetic mechanisms of the polysaccharides.

Figure 1 SCFAs improve metabolic functions in T2DM. SCFAs were shown to affect

421

pancreatic beta-cell function by directly acting as Histone deacetylase (HDAC)

422

inhibitors (promoting β-cell development, proliferation, and differentiation) or by

423

indirectly increasing GLP-1 secretion from enteroendocrine L-cells (leading to insulin

424

release). Furthermore, SCFAs reduce the release of proinflammatory cytokines by

425

adipose tissue and weaken leukocyte activation. These anti-inflammatory effects

426

improve insulin resistance, tissue glucose uptake, and blood glucose levels.
