Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is the major function component of Lycium barbarum L. and has been previously reported to induce the phenotypic and functional maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) as well as activating T lymphocytes. In the current study, the immunologic cytotoxicity promoting effect of LBP was assessed and the underlying mechanism was explored. The impact of LBP on the phenotype, maturation, and immunogenicity of DCs was assessed. The activity of Notch pathway which is involved in the regulation of LBP on DCs was detected. Afterwards, the influence of LBP on cytotoxicity of DC-mediated cytotoxicity T lymphocytes (CTLs) to CT26-WT colon cancer cells was further assessed. Administration of LBP induced the phenotypic and functional maturation of DCs. After being subjected to LBP, the expression of Notch and Jagged and Notch targets Hes1 and Hes5 was all upregulated. The cytotoxicity of DC-mediated CTLs was strengthened by administration of LBP. Additionally, cytotoxicity of DC-mediated CTLs on CT26-WT colon cancer cells also increased with effector-target ratio. In conclusion, LBP could induce the phenotypic and functional maturation of DCs via Notch signaling and promote the cytotoxicity of DC-mediated CTLs, which could be employed as a promising adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy.
