Abstract
Excessive salt intake is a widespread health issue observed in almost every country around the world. A high salt diet (HSD) has a strong correlation with numerous diseases, including hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and autoimmune disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying HSD-promotion of inflammation and exacerbation of these diseases are not fully understood. In this study, we observed that HSD consumption reduced the abundance of the gut microbial metabolite L-fucose, leading to a more substantial inflammatory response in mice. A HSD led to increased peritonitis incidence in mice, as evidenced by the increased accumulation of inflammatory cells and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1, also known as C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 or CCL2), in peritoneal lavage fluid. Following the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics, HSD-induced inflammation was abolished, indicating that the proinflammatory effects of HSD were not due to the direct effect of sodium, but rather to HSD-induced alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota. By using untargeted metabolomics techniques, we determined that the levels of the gut microbial metabolite L-fucose were reduced by a HSD. Moreover, the administration of L-fucose or fucoidan, a compound derived from brown that is rich in L-fucose, normalized the level of inflammation in mice following HSD induction. In addition, both L-fucose and fucoidan inhibited LPS-induced macrophage activation in vitro. In summary, our research showed that reduced L-fucose levels in the gut contributed to HSD-exacerbated acute inflammation in mice; these results indicate that L-fucose and fucoidan could interfere with HSD-promotion of the inflammatory response.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 168:558-571. [PMID: 33296692 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
L-Fuculose and D-ribulose are kinds of rare sugars used in food, agriculture, and medicine industries. These are pentoses and categorized into the two main groups, aldo pentoses and ketopentoses. There are 8 aldo- and 4 ketopentoses and only fewer are natural, while others are rare sugars found in a very small amount in nature. These sugars have great commercial applications, especially in many kinds of drugs in the medicine industry. The synthesis of these sugars is very expensive, difficult by chemical methods due to its absence in nature, and could not meet industry demands. The pentose izumoring strategy offers a complete enzymatic tactic to link all kinds of pentoses using different enzymes. The enzymatic production of L-fuculose and D-ribulose through L-fucose isomerase (L-FI) and D-arabinose isomerase (D-AI) is the inexpensive and uncomplicated method up till now. Both enzymes have similar kinds of isomerizing mechanisms and each enzyme can catalyze both L-fucose and D-arabinose. In this review article, the enzymatic process of biochemically characterized L-FI & D-AI, their application to produce L-fuculose and D-ribulose and its uses in food, agriculture, and medicine industries are reviewed.

Abstract
Ambient particulate matter (PM) is a critical environment pollutant that promotes the onset and aggravation of respiratory diseases such as asthma through airway inflammation and hypersecretion of mucus. In this study, we aimed to identify the effects of fucoidans isolated from sporophylls of Undaria pinnatifida on asthma symptoms such as the inflammatory response and mucus secretion using a mouse model. Balb/c mice, intraperitoneally sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA, 10 μg) dissolved in 200 µL saline and 2 mg Al(OH)3, were exposed to PM (5 mg/m3) for 7 consecutive days. In parallel, along with PM exposure, we orally administrated fucoidans (100, 400 mg/Kg) or prednisone (5 mg/Kg), an anti-inflammatory drug. We found that oral administration of fucoidans significantly attenuated PM-induced lipid peroxidation and infiltration of inflammatory cells like F4/80+ macrophages, Gr-1+ granulocytes, and CD4+ T lymphocytes. Fucoidans also attenuated the level of PM-exacerbated IL-4, a primitive cytokine released in Th2 mediated eosinophilic asthma. This further suppressed mast cell activation, degranulation and IgE synthesis of PM exposed mice. Interestingly, fucoidans attenuated PM-exacerbated mucus hypersecretion and goblet cell hyperplasia. Therefore, our results suggest that fucoidans are effective at alleviating PM-exacerbated allergic asthma symptoms by attenuating the airway inflammatory response and mucus hypersecretion.

Abstract
Previous studies reported that L-fucose had anti-inflammatory effects in respiratory and cutaneous system. However, the effect of L-fucose on colitis and the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. We studied the anti-inflammatory effects of L-fucose on Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis in vivo and on LPS/ATP-induced bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) damage in vitro. Our results show that L-fucose significantly alleviated weight loss and disease activity index (DAI) scores in colitis and reduced the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils. In addition, L-fucose can inhibit macrophage M1 polarization, inactivate the NLRP3 inflammasome and reduce the release of TNFα, IL1β, IL6 pro-inflammatory cytokines. In vitro studies showed that L-fucose ameliorated cell damage resulting from the administration of LPS with ATP in BMDMs, inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and reduced the release of corresponding pro-inflammatory cytokines. Finally, L-fucose can inhibit the expression of p-NF-kB in vivo and in vitro. Overall, our results show that L-fucose can attenuate colitis by inhibiting macrophage M1 polarization, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-kB activation, and down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Contact of mononuclear human leukocytes with cellulose dialysis membranes may result in complement-independent cell activation, i.e. enhanced synthesis of cytokines, prostaglandins and an increase in beta 2-micro-globulin synthesis. Cellular contact activation is specifically inhibited by the monosaccharide L-fucose suggesting that dialysis membrane associated L-fucose residues are involved in leukocyte activation. In this study we have detected and quantitated L-fucose on commercially-available cellulose dialysis membranes using two approaches. A sensitive enzymatic fluorescence assay detected L-fucose after acid hydrolysis of flat sheet membranes. Values ranged from 79.3 +/- 3.6 to 90.2 +/- 5.0 pmol cm-2 for Hemophan or Cuprophan respectively. Enzymatic cleavage of terminal alpha-L-fucopyranoses with alpha-L-fucosidase yielded 7.7 +/- 3.3 pmol L-fucose per cm2 for Cuprophan. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the synthetic polymer membranes AN-69 and PC-PE did not yield detectable amounts of L-fucose. In a second approach, binding of the fucose specific lectins of Lotus tetragonolobus and Ulex europaeus (UEAI) demonstrated the presence of biologically accessible L-fucose on the surface of cellulose membranes. Specific binding was observed with Cuprophan, and up to 2.6 +/- 0.3 pmol L-fucose per cm2 was calculated to be present from Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms. The data presented are in line with the hypothesis that surface-associated L-fucose residues on cellulose dialysis membranes participate in leukocyte contact activation.

Abstract
Soluble suppressor factor (SSF) is a recently purified human lymphokine produced by peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in serum-free medium as a likely consequence of an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction. Immunoregulatory actions of SSF include suppression of: polyclonal B cell activation, proliferative responses of normal PBL, and natural killer (NK) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. We examined the ability of the monosaccharides fucose (Fuc), galactose (Gal), glucose (Glc), and mannose (Man) to reverse SSF-mediated suppression of NK activity. Fuc and Gal can partially or completely reverse SSF-mediated suppression at four effector:target cell ratios. Man and Glc were unable to significantly reverse SSF-mediated suppression. Fuc or Gal was added to PBL at various times after addition of SSF. SSF-mediated suppression of NK cytotoxicity becomes irreversible with respect to these monosaccharides during the first 24 hr of PBL exposure to SSF. To explore the mechanism behind this block of SSF-mediated suppression. Fuc or Gal (50 mM) was cultured with PBL for 24 hr before addition of SSF, or with SSF for 24 hr before addition to PBL. Our experiments indicate that SSF is directly interacting with these monosaccharides, and may function by recognizing specific sugar moieties on the surface of effector cells.

Abstract
Myelin phagocytosis in nerves undergoing Wallerian degeneration has been shown to depend on their invasion by non-resident, hematogenous macrophages. This process can be studied in vitro using organ cultures of peripheral nerves exposed to cultured peritoneal macrophages. The present report concerns the role of cell surface carbohydrates in the invasion of degenerating nerves and in the recognition and ingestion of myelin by the phagocytic cells. Additional experiments explored the effect of pH, calcium and cytochalasin D on myelin phagocytosis. Organ cultures with peritoneal macrophages were treated with 14 simple or complex sugars or with eight sugar-splitting enzymes. Macrophage invasion was diminished by many simple or complex sugars, but exposure to sugars had no effect on the recognition or ingestion of myelin by the invading macrophages. Macrophage invasion was abolished upon treatment with beta-mannosidase. Exposure to L-fucosidase abolished the myelin phagocytic capacity of invading macrophages completely without affecting their capacity to ingest carbon or latex particles. The results indicate that the phagocytosis of myelin by macrophages is an L-fucosidase-sensitive process, probably by interaction with their complement receptor type C3.
