Trametes sanguinea Lloyd total polysaccharide (TsLTP), was obtained by water extraction and ethanol precipitation from T. sanguinea. The structural characterization of TsLTP was elucidated mutually by TsL1 and TsL2, whose mass ratio is 1: 4. TsL1 is mainly composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and fucose, and consist of T-Linked-Fucp, T-Linked-Manp, T-Linked-Galp, 1,4-Linked-Manp, 1,4-Linked-Glcp, 1,6-Linked-Manp, 1,6-Linked-Galp, 1,3,4-Linked-Glcp, 1,4,6-Linked-Glcp and 1,3,6-Linked-Glcp, with a molar ratio of 2.1: 1.7: 1.4: 1.0: 3.6: 2.0: 8.6: 1.3: 2.2: 1.2, while TsL2 mainly comprise of glucose and consist of T-Linked-Glcp, 1,3-Linked-Glcp, 1,4-Linked-Glcp and 1,4,6-Linked-Glcp, with a molar ratio of 1.0: 2.1: 7.6: 1.4. TsLTP exhibited strong inhibitory effects on the migration, invasion, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (iHUVECs) and chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) angiogenesis, whereas no inhibitory activity on human TNBC cell lines. Taken together, our study suggests that TsLTP possesses a significant inhibition of tumor microvascular activity both in vitro and in vivo. The study of TsLTP with novel monosaccharide composition and tumor microvascular inhibitory activity might be a beneficial attempt for application of polysaccharide from the genus Trametes in tumor therapy.
