Purification and Structural Characterization of Sulfated Polysaccharides Derived from Brown Algae, Sargassum binderi: Inhibitory Mechanism of iNOS and COX-2 Pathway Interaction.

ABSTRACT: Among the components derived from brown algae, anionic sulfated polysaccharides, which contain sulfated fucose as the major monosaccharide, exert significant biological activities. In this study, we purified and structurally characterized sulfated polysaccharides from brown algae, Sargassum binderi (S. binderi; SBPs), and evaluated their biological activity in vitro and in vivo. The SBPs were separated based on their charges and their biophysical properties were investigated according to their functional groups, structural features, and molecular weights using FTIR, NMR, and MALS. Among all the SBPs, Fraction 4 (SBP-F4), with an average molecular weight of 2.867 × 10⁵ g/mol, had the highest polysaccharide and sulfate contents (75.15 ± 0.25% and 24.08 ± 0.18%, respectively). The biological activities of SBP-F4 were investigated further in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that SBP-F4 significantly suppressed the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) proteins in LPS-activated macrophages. Moreover, in the LPS-treated zebrafish model, a significant decrease in cell death and NO production was observed. Collectively, these results show that SBPs not only exert protective effects against LPS-induced cytotoxicity but also inhibit the activation and anti-inflammatory activity of macrophages. Therefore, polysaccharides derived from S. binderi are potential anti-inflammatory agents for use in clinical settings.

Modulation of toxicity effects of CuSO4 by sulfated polysaccharides extracted from brown algae (Sargassum tenerrimum) in Danio rerio as a model.

Project description:Copper is widely used in agriculture and aquaculture due to its high disinfection properties and relatively low cost. However, the increase in copper concentration due to evaporation can lead to water reservoir pollution, which can harm the health of consumers. The present study aimed to determine the role of sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) extracted from Sargassum tenerimum algae in reducing lesions caused by the heavy metal copper. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) were used as a human model in five treatments. The negative and positive control groups were fed a diet containing zero percent of SPs, while the experimental groups were fed 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of SPs in three treatments for 56 days, finally CuSO4 was exposed only to the positive control group and the groups fed with SPs. Results showed a significant decrease in the activity level of ALT enzymes (39-16 U/mL), AST (67-46 U/mL), and ALP (485-237 U/mL), confirming the results obtained from histopathological studies in CuSO4 exposed groups. The addition of SPs to the diet resulted in a significant reduction (sig < 0.05) of mortalities due to the decrease of tissue damage. Additionally, due to the anti-inflammatory properties and the protective effect of SPs, a significant decrease (sig < 0.05) was observed in the relative expression of Il-1β and Tnf-α genes.

Ion-exchange purification and structural characterization of five sulfated fucoidans from brown algae.

Project description:Fucoidans are a diverse class of sulfated polysaccharides integral to the cell wall of brown algae, and due to their various bioactivities, they are potential drugs. Standardized work with fucoidans is required for structure-function studies, but remains challenging since available fucoidan preparations are often contaminated with other algal compounds. Additionally, fucoidans are structurally diverse depending on species and season, urging the need for standardized purification protocols. Here, we use ion-exchange chromatography to purify different fucoidans and found a high structural diversity between fucoidans. Ion-exchange chromatography efficiently removes the polysaccharides alginate and laminarin and other contaminants such as proteins and phlorotannins across a broad range of fucoidans from major brown algal orders including Ectocarpales, Laminariales and Fucales. By monomer composition, linkage analysis and NMR characterization, we identified galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid and O-acetylation as new structural features of certain fucoidans and provided a novel structure of fucoidan from Durvillaea potatorum with α-1,3-linked fucose backbone and β-1,6 and β-1,3 galactose branches. This study emphasizes the use of standardized ion-exchange chromatography to obtain defined fucoidans for subsequent molecular studies.

Purification, Chemical Characterization and Immunomodulatory Activity of a Sulfated Polysaccharide from Marine Brown Algae Durvillaea antarctica.

Project description:An immunomodulatory polysaccharide (DAP4) was extracted, purified, and characterized from Durvillaea antarctica. The results of chemical and spectroscopic analyses demonstrated that the polysaccharide was a fucoidan, and was mainly composed of (1→3)-α-l-Fucp and (1→4)-α-l-Fucp residues with a small degree of branching at C-3 of (1→4)-α-l-Fucp residues. Sulfate groups were at C-4 of (1→3)-α-l-Fucp, C-2 of (1→4)-α-l-Fucp and minor C-6 of (1→4)-β-d-Galp. Small amounts of xylose and galactose exist in the forms of β-d-Xylp-(1→ and β-d-Gal-(1→. The immunomodulatory activity of DAP4 was measured on RAW 264.7 cells, the results proved that DAP4 exhibited excellent immunomodulatory activities, such as promoted the proliferation of spleen lymphocytes, increased NO production, as well as enhanced phagocytic of macrophages. Besides, DAP4 could also produce better enhancement on the vitality of NK cells. For the high immunomodulatory activity, DAP4 might be a potential source of immunomodulatory fucoidan with a novel structure.

Antioxidant activities of sulfated polysaccharides from brown and red seaweeds.

Project description:The in vitro antioxidant activities of the following six sulfated polysaccharides were investigated: iota, kappa and lambda carrageenans, which are widely used in the food industry, fucoidan (homofucan) from the edible seaweed Fucus vesiculosus and fucans (heterofucans) F0.5 and F1.1 from the seaweed Padina gymnospora. With respect to the inhibition of superoxide radical formation, fucoidan had an IC(50) (the half maximal inhibitory concentration) of 0.058 mg.mL(-1), while the IC(50) for the kappa, iota and lambda carrageenans were 0.112, 0.332 and 0.046 mg.mL(-1), respectively. All of the samples had an inhibitory effect on the formation of hydroxyl radicals. The results of peroxidation tests showed that fucoidan had an IC(50) of 1.250 mg.mL(-1) and that the kappa, iota and lambda carrageenans had an IC(50) of 2.753 and 2.338 and 0.323 mg.mL(-1), respectively. Fucan fractions showed low antioxidant activity relative to fucoidan. These results clearly indicate the beneficial effect of algal polysaccharides as antioxidants.

Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activities of Sulfated Polysaccharides from Marine Algae against Dental Plaque Bacteria.

Project description:Dental plaque biofilms cause various dental diseases; therefore, inhibiting the growths of the dental plaque bacteria which produce biofilms can be a strategy for preventing dental disease. Certain sulfated polysaccharides from marine algae exert antimicrobial activities against human bacterial pathogens in addition to their physiological benefits. On the basis of these observations, the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of sulfated polysaccharides from different marine algae were evaluated against dental plaque bacteria. Among the sulfated polysaccharides, a fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus showed notable antimicrobial activities against the selected dental plaque bacteria, including some foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations were of 125 to 1000 µg mL-1. Regarding the antibiofilm activity, the fucoidan at the concentrations of above 250 µg mL-1 completely suppressed the biofilm formations and planktonic cell growths of Streptococcus mutans and S. sobrinus. However, no eliminative effect on the completed biofilm was observed. The fucoidan consisted of almost fucose base polysaccharide containing approximately 14.0% sulfate content. The average molecular weight of the fucoidan was changed by heat treatment (121 °C for 15 min) and it affected the antimicrobial activity.

Phlorotannins of the Brown Algae Sargassum vulgare from the Mediterranean Sea Coast.

Project description:Brown seaweeds are a good source of bioactive compounds, particularly of phlorotannins, which may exert a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties. In the present study, phlorotannins of S. vulgare were extracted using a 70% acetone solution and the crude extract was further purified through liquid-liquid partition, giving rise to n-hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous residue fractions. The crude extract and the purified fractions were evaluated for potential antioxidant abilities as well as for inhibitory potential towards the digestive enzymes α-amylase and pancreatic lipase, and anti-inflammatory potential through the hindering of albumin denaturation. Overall, the ethyl acetate fraction was the richest in phlorotannins (9.4 ± 0.03 mg PGE/g) and was also the most promising regarding the tested bioactive properties. Of note, its inhibitory potential towards α-amylase was about nine times that of the commercial drug acarbose and its inhibitory activity against high temperature-induced protein denaturation was superior to that of the non-steroidal drug ketoprofen. According to UHPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS analysis, this fraction contained a range of phlorotannins with at least six units of phloroglucinol, including dibenzodioxine-1,3,6,8-tetraol, fuhalol, pentaphlorethol, fucopentaphlorethol and dihydroxypentafuhalol, in addition to several less common phlorotannin sulfate derivatives.

Unravelling the inhibitory activity of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii sulfated polysaccharides against α-Synuclein fibrillation.

Project description:α-Synuclein (α-Syn) is an intrinsically disordered presynaptic protein, whose aggregation is critically involved in Parkinson's disease (PD). Many of the currently available drugs for the treatment of PD are not sufficiently effective in preventing progress of the disease and have multiple side-effects. With this background, efficient drug candidates, sulfated polysaccharides from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr-SPs) were isolated and investigated for their effect on inhibition of α-Syn fibrillation and dissolution of preformed α-Syn fibrillar structures through a combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The kinetics of α-Syn fibrillation demonstrates that Cr-SPs are very effective in inhibiting α-Syn fibrillation. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel-image shows presence of soluble protein in the presence of Cr-SPs after completion of the fibrillation process. The morphological changes associated with fibrillation monitored by transmission electron microscopy showed that Cr-SPs efficiently bind with α-Syn and delay the conversion of α-helical intermediate into β-sheet rich structures. Cr-SPs are also effective even if onset of α-Syn fibrillation has already started and they also have the ability to dissolve pre-formed fibrils. Thus, the current work has substantial therapeutic implications towards unlocking the immense potential of algal products to function as alternative therapeutic agents against PD and other protein aggregation related disorders.

New Insight on In Vitro Biological Activities of Sulfated Polysaccharides from Ulvophyte Green Algae.

Project description:Green algae are natural bioresources that have excellent bioactive potential, partly due to sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) which are still rarely explored for their biological activities. There is currently an urgent need for studies exploring the anticancer biological activity of SPs extracted from two Indonesian ulvophyte green algae: the sulfated polysaccharide of Caulerpa racemosa (SPCr) and the sulfated polysaccharide of Caulerpa lentillifera (SPCl). The method of isolating SPs and their assessment of biological activities in this study were based on previous and similar studies. The highest yield sulfate/total sugar ratio was presented by SPCr than that of SPCl. Overall, SPCr exhibits a strong antioxidant activity, as indicated by smaller EC50 values obtained from a series of antioxidant activity assays compared to the EC50 values of Trolox (control). As an anti-obesity and antidiabetic, the overall EC50 value of both SPs was close to the EC50 of the positive control (orlistat and acarbose). Even more interesting was that SPCl displayed wide-ranging anticancer effects on colorectal, hepatoma, breast cancer cell lines, and leukemia. Finally, this study reveals new insights in that SPs from two Indonesian green algae have the potential to be promising nutraceuticals as novel antioxidative actors, and to be able to fight obesity, diabetes, and even cancer.
