Project description:Radiotherapy (RT) often causes unwanted side effects such as radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) and second malignancies (SM). Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, has many biological effects including anti-inflammation and anti-tumor. In the present study, we investigated the radioprotective effect of Oligo-Fucoidan (OF) using zebrafish animal model. Using an oligo-fucoidan oral gavage in wild-type and adult transgenic zebrafish, we then used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after fucoidan treatment and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Many carcinogens induce inflammation and cirrhosis, and eventually develop into liver cancer. Fucoidan is sulfated polysaccharide that is mainly found in brown seaweeds. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of low molecular weight fucoidan (i.e. oligo-fucoidan) preventing hepatocarcinogenesis using HBx,Src, and HBx,Src,p53-/+ transgenic zebrafish liver cancer model. Using an oligo-fucoidan oral gavage in adult transgenic zebrafish, we then used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression after fucoidan treatment and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds, possesses many biological activities including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. We aimed to investigate the protective effects of fucoidan on dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (ApoEshl mice) and to elucidate its molecular targets in the liver by using a transcriptomic approach. For 12 weeks, ApoEshl mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented with either 1% or 5% fucoidan. Fucoidan supplementation significantly reduced tissue weight (liver and white adipose tissue), blood lipid, total-cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), non-high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (Non-HDL-C), and glucose levels in HFD-fed ApoEshl mice but increased plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and HDL-C levels. Fucoidan also reduced hepatic steatosis levels (liver size, TC and TG levels, and lipid peroxidation) and increased white adipose tissue LPL activity. DNA microarray analysis and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated differential expression of genes encoding proteins involved in lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and insulin sensitivity, by activating Ppara and inactivating Srebf1. Fucoidan supplementation markedly reduced the thickness of the lipid-rich plaque, lipid peroxidation, and foaming macrophage accumulation in the aorta in HFD-fed ApoEshl mice. Thus, fucoidan supplementation appears to have anti-dyslipidemic and anti-atherosclerotic effects by inducing LPL activity and inhibiting the effects of inflammation and oxidative stress in HFD-fed ApoEshl mice.

Project description:Marine brown algae produce the highly recalcitrant polysaccharide fucoidan, contributing to long-term oceanic carbon storage and climate regulation. Fucoidan is degraded by specialized heterotrophic bacteria, which promote ecosystem function and global carbon turnover using largely uncharacterized mechanisms. Here, we isolate and study two Planctomycetota strains from the microbiome associated with the alga Fucus spiralis, which grow efficiently on chemically diverse fucoidans. One of the strains appears to internalize the polymer, while the other strain degrades it extracellularly. Multi-omic approaches show that fucoidan breakdown is mediated by the expression of divergent polysaccharide utilization loci, and endo-fucanases of family GH168 are strongly upregulated during fucoidan digestion. Enzymatic assays and structural biology studies reveal how GH168 endo-fucanases degrade various fucoidan cores from brown algae, assisted by auxiliary hydrolytic enzymes. Overall, our results provide insights into fucoidan processing mechanisms in macroalgal-associated bacteria.

Project description:Fucoidan is a high-molecular polysaccharide whose main constituent is sulfated fucose. Extensive studies have demonstrated numerous interesting biological activities for fucoidan. We specifically focused on the anti-proliferation activity of fucoidan and examined the underlying mechanism in MKN45 gastric cancer cells. BrdU assay revealed that fucoidan impeded the MKN45 cell cycle by approximately 50%, and clonogenic assay also showed that fucoidan inhibited cell proliferation. Preliminary examinations of fucoidan using LDH assay showed no immediate cytotoxic effects at 24-h exposure. However, longer time courses revealed inhibition of cell growth at 4 days in a dose-dependent manner. Microarray analysis in MKN45 cells treated with fucoidan identified genes that were upregulated and downregulated in response to fucoidan, including MAP3K5, or ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase), which was upregulated by 1.38-fold. Western blot confirmed that fucoidan increased ASK1 protein levels, while reducing the levels of phosphorylated ASK1. Reduction of ASK1 by siRNA decreased proliferation of MKN45 cells. Our findings show that fucoidan may suppress cellular proliferation and DNA synthesis in MKN45 cells by suppressing the ASK1-p38 signaling pathway through reduction of phosphorylated ASK1 levels.

Project description:We present a study combining gene expression analyses and bioinformatic assessment. 1120 sequences annotated as sulfatase encoding from eight Rhodopirellula strains were clustered into 173 groups of orthologous and paralogous genes. A selection of 709 sulfatase gene strains were aligned to 66 sulfatase genes of known function to check for their respective substrate specificity. Thereby, 22 major phylogenetic clusters were observed with just five being mixed clusters between Rhodopirellula and reference sequences. This indicates a huge diversity on the substrate recognition level, unexpected from conventional annotations in public databases. Exemplarily, Rhodopirellula baltica SH1T was grown on different sulfated polysaccharides. Subsequent gene expression analyses using whole genome microarrays revealed distinct sulfatase expression profiles based on substrates tested. Expression profiles strongly point towards a functional link between sulfated polysaccharides and sulfatases. Moreover, further potential functions can be deduced from the expression profiles. In silico assessment backed up in vivo findings and raised the question, whether related strains and species are even more adapted to utilizing sulfated polysaccharides present in marine environments. Dual channel microarrays have been used for comparing the gene expression of R. baltica SH1T under reference condition (grown on glucose) and grown on sulfated polysaccharides as substrates of interest. Substrates tested have been: Chondroitin sulfate, lambda carrageenan and fucoidan. Control: 3 Biological replicates, Substrates tested: 2-3 Biological replicates, 2-3 replicates per array

Project description:Purpose: Examining the transcriptome of human gut bacteria that grow on seaweed polysaccharides as a sole carbon source Methods: Strains were grown on 5 mg/ml seaweed polysaccharides (carrageenan, agarose and/or poprhyran respective to strain) or galactose as a sole carbon source in vitro. Fold change was calculated as seaweed polysaccharide over galactose with n=2 biological replicates. Once cells reached an optical density corresponding to mid-log phase growth, RNA was isolated and rRNA depleted. Samples were multiplexed for sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq platform at the University of Michigan Sequencing Core. Data was analyzed using Arraystar software (DNASTAR, Inc.) Genes with significant up- or down-regulation were determined by the following criteria: genes with an average fold-change >10-fold and with both biological replicates with a normalized expression level >1% of the overall average RPKM expression level. READS WERE ANALYZED .......GABRIEL FILL IN Results: We identified novel polysaccharide utiilization loci in 5 strains of human gut bacteria

Project description:Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are complex photosynthetic organisms with a very different evolutionary history to green plants, to which they are only distantly related. These seaweeds are the dominant species in rocky coastal ecosystems and they exhibit many interesting adaptations to these, often harsh, environments. The brown algae are also important because they are one of only a very small number of eukaryotic lineages that have evolved complex multicellularity. This work used whole genome tiling array approach to generate a comprehensive transcriptome map of the filamentous seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngbye, a model organism for the brown algae.

Project description:Non-starch soluble polysaccharides (NSPs) produced by yeasts are used in animal nutrition to improve health and performance. However, the magnitude of the effect may be dependent upon the quantity and the composition of the polysaccharides. As seaweeds are attractive sources of NSPs, this study was set up to evaluate their potential to improve intestinal health. The effect of NSP extracts prepared from Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing β-glucan and mannan (PSY1, positive control) or a mixture of mannanoligosaccharides (PSY2, positive control), micro algae containing β-glucan (PSA1), brown macro algae containing fucoidan and laminarin (PSA2), and green macro algae containing ulvan (PSA3) on intestinal porcine epithelial cells J2 (IPEC-J2) was studied in the presence and absence of the enterotoxigenic bacterium Escherichia coli k99 strain (ETEC) as an in vitro challenge. The E.coli-k99 strain with adhesion factor F41 (41/32) was isolated from a mastitis-infected udder. In addition, a mixed extract prepared from vegatal orgin supplemented with phenolic compounds from vegetal origin, zinc and selenium (9631), and ZnO were tested to compare responses to NSP extracts. Gene expression was measured in IPEC-J2 cells after 2 and 6 hours of incubation using “whole genome” porcine microarrays (submission as a conference paper at the SEAGRICULTURE 2017 6th International Seaweed Conference).
