| Abstract |
Two extracellular polysaccharides, designated as WPA and WPB, were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus aculeatus using Q-Sepharose fast flow and Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography. WPA composed of mannose and galactose in a molar ratio of 3.9:1.0, and WPB mainly contained mannose. The molecular weight of WPA and WPB was about 28.1 kDa and 21.0 kDa, respectively. On the basis of methylation and NMR analysis, the possible main chain of WPA was [→5)-β-D-Galf-(1 → 2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→], and WPB was mainly [→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→], both with [α-D-Manp(1 → 2)-α-D-Manp(1 → 2)-α-D-Manp(1→] substituted at C-2 of [→2,6)-α-D-Manp(1→]. Meanwhile, WPA displayed a stronger anti-proliferative effect than WPB on HeLa, MCF-7 and MGC-803 cells in vitro. WPA and WPB could arrest HeLa cells in G2/M phase and induce HeLa cells apoptosis. Thus, our study provides evidence that WPA and WPB may be taken as potential candidates for treating cervical carcinoma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 December 2017.
All research outputs
#17,285,668
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Glycoconjugate Journal
#716
of 929 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,869
of 352,659 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Glycoconjugate Journal
#11
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 929 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,659 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
