Sulfated polysaccharides found in Ulva are recognized as the primary bioactive compounds, known for their immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite this knowledge, the available information regarding anti-allergic activities of Ulva re-mains limited. The objective of this study was to prepare and characterize Ulva-derived poly-saccharides (UP), oligosaccharides (UO), and residues (UR), followed by assessing their potential in improving allergic enteritis and gut microbiota in a murine model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced food allergy. The immunomodulatory activities of UP, UO, and UR were evaluated by measuring the expression of serum antibodies, splenic cytokines and duodenal transcript factors of T cell subsets. The impact of UP, UO, and UR on enteric microbiota was explored by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis of fresh fecal samples from treated mice. Oral treatment of UP, UO, and UR noticeably attenuated allergic diarrhea and enteritis. Additionally, Ulva samples treatment decreased serum levels of IgG1 and OVA-specific IgE while increased the level of OVA-specific IgG. Enhanced production of IFN-gamma and reduced production of IL-4 and IL-10 by splenocytes were observed in the treated mice. In parallel, Ulva samples treatment led to a decreased number of GATA3+ cells and an increased number of T-bet+ cells in the duodenum. However, the pop-ulation of Foxp3+ cells was not significantly altered. Moreover, treatment of Ulva samples improved enteric dysbiosis evidenced by an increased abundance of Lactobacillus murinus, L. johnsonii, and L. reuteri, and a decreased abundance of Kineothrix alysoides, Lacrimispora sac-charolytica, L. aerotolerans, and Erysipelotrichaceae in feces. In conclusion, UP, UO, and UR, which could modulate the Th1/Th2 immune balance, alleviate allergic enteritis and improve enteric dysbiosis in varying degrees, are potential to be developed into therapeutic agents for food allergy. |
