Comparative Analysis of Water-Soluble Polysaccharides from Dendrobium Second Love 'Tokimeki' and Dendrobium nobile in Structure, Antioxidant, and Anti-Tumor Activity In Vitro. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10361. [PMID: 37373508 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241210361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
With potential anti-tumor and antioxidant properties, the polysaccharide content of D. nobile is relatively lower than that of the other medicinal Dendrobium. To find high-content polysaccharide resources, the polysaccharide (DHPP-Ⅰs) was prepared from D. Second Love 'Tokimeki' (a D. nobile hybrid) and compared with DNPP-Ⅰs from D. nobile. DHPP-Is (Mn 31.09 kDa) and DNPP-Is (Mn 46.65 kDa) were found to be O-acetylated glucomannans (-Glcp-(1,4) and O-acetylated-D-Manp-(1,4) backbones), analogous to other Dendrobium polysaccharides. DHPP-Ⅰs had higher glucose content (31.1%) and a lower degree (0.16) of acetylation than DNPP-Ⅰs (15.8%, 0.28). Meanwhile, DHPP-Ⅰs and DNPP-Ⅰs had the same ability in the radical scavenging assay, which was milder than the control of Vc. Both DHPP-Is and DNPP-Is inhibited SPC-A-1 cell proliferation in vitro, with obvious differences in dose concentrations (0.5-2.0 mg/mL) and treatment times (24-72 h). Therefore, the antioxidant activity of DHPP-Ⅰs and DNPP-Ⅰs is not associated with distinction in anti-proliferative activity. As a glucomannan derived from non-medicinal Dendrobium, DHPP-Ⅰs has similar bioactivity to other medicinal Dendrobium, and this could serve as a starting point for studying the conformational-bioactivity relationship of Dendrobium polysaccharides.

Abstract
While classic raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) such as raffinose and stachyose are common in plants, stachyose is absent in the Caryophyllaceae. Instead the tetrasaccharide lychnose α-d-Gal-(1→6)α-d-Glc-(1→2)β-d-Fru-(1→1)α-d-Gal can accumulate. Stellaria media, a representative member of this family, was used to isolate α-d-Gal-(1→6)-[α-d-Gal-(1→4)]α-d-Glc-(1→2)β-d-Fru-(1→1)α-d-Gal, a novel pentasaccharide with a lychnose backbone. Complete NMR characterization using COSY, HSQC, HSQC-TOCSY, HMBC, and NOESY experiments was performed to unequivocally resolve its structure. This is the first report of a natural compound containing a Gal α(1→4)Glc linkage. The trivial name stellariose is proposed for this new pentasaccharide.

Abstract
A degenerate PCR approach was used to isolate a lepidopteran insect cDNA encoding a beta4-galactosyl-transferase family member. The isolation and initial identification of this cDNA was based on bioinformatics, but its identification as a beta4-galactosyltransferase family member was experimentally confirmed. The newly identified beta4-galactosyltransferase family member had unusually broad donor and acceptor substrate specificities in vitro, as transferred galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylgalactosamine to carbohydrate, glycoprotein, and glycolipid acceptors. However, the enzyme preferentially utilized N-acetylgalactosamine as the donor for all three acceptors, and its derived amino acid sequence was closely related to a known N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. These data suggested that the newly isolated cDNA encodes a beta4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase that functions in insect cell glycoprotein biosynthesis, glycolipid biosynthesis, or both. The remainder of this study focused on the role of this enzyme in N-glycoprotein biosynthesis. The results showed that the purified enzyme transferred N-acetylgalactosamine, but no detectable galactose or N-acetylglucosamine, to a synthetic N-glycan in vitro. The structure of the reaction product was confirmed by chromatographic, mass spectroscopic, and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. Co-expression of the new cDNA product in insect cells with an N-glycoprotein reporter showed that it transferred N-acetylgalactosamine, but no detectable galactose or N-acetylglucosamine, to this N-glycoprotein in vivo. Confocal microscopy showed that a GFP-tagged version of the enzyme was localized in the insect cell Golgi apparatus. In summary, this study demonstrated that lepidopteran insect cells encode and express a beta4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase that functions in N-glycoprotein biosynthesis and perhaps in glycolipid biosynthesis, as well. The isolation and characterization of this gene and its product contribute to our basic understanding of insect protein N-glycosylation pathways and to the growing body of evidence that insects can produce glycoproteins with complex N-glycans.

Abstract
The cationic peanut peroxidase has been studied in detail, not only with regard to its peptide structure, but also to the sites and role of the three moieties linked to it. Peanut peroxidase lends itself well to a close examination as a potential example for other plant peroxidase studies. It was the first plant peroxidase for which a 3-D structure was derived from crystals, with the glycans intact. Subsequent analysis of peroxidases structures from other plants have not shown great differences to that of the peanut peroxidase. As the period of proteomics follows on the era of genomics, the study of glycans has been brought back into focus. With the potential use of peroxidase as a polymerization agent for industry, there are some aspects of the overall structure that should be kept in mind for successful use of this enzyme. A variety of techniques are now available to assay for these structures/moieties and their roles. Peanut peroxidase data are reviewed in that light, as well as defining some true terms for isozymes. Because a high return of the enzyme in a pure form has been obtained from cultured cells in suspension culture, a brief review of this is also offered.

Abstract
Cobra venom factor (CVF), a nontoxic, complement-activating glycoprotein in cobra venom, is a functional analog of mammalian complement component C3b. The carbohydrate moiety of CVF consists exclusively of N-linked oligosaccharides with terminal alpha1-3-linked galactosyl residues, which are antigenic in human. CVF has potential for several medical applications, including targeted cell killing and complement depletion. Here, we report a detailed structural analysis of the oligosaccharides of CVF. The structures of the oligosaccharides were determined by lectin affinity chromatography, antibody affinity blotting, compositional and methylation analyses, and high-resolution (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. Approximately 80% of the oligosaccharides are diantennary complex-type, approximately 12% are tri- and tetra-antennary complex-type, and approximately 8% are oligomannose type structures. The majority of the complex-type oligosaccharides terminate in Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1, a unique carbohydrate structural feature abundantly present in the glycoproteins of cobra venom.

Abstract
The production of mice with genetic alterations in glycosyltransferases has highlighted the need to isolate and study complex mixtures of the major classes of oligosaccharides (glycans) from intact tissues. We have found that nano-NMR spectroscopy of whole mixtures of N- and O-glycans can complement HPLC profiling methods for elucidating structural details. Working toward obtaining such glycan mixtures from mouse tissues, we decided to develop an approach to isolate not only N- and O-glycans, but also to separate out glycosphingolipids, glycosaminoglycans and glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. We describe here a comprehensive Glycan Isolation Protocol that is based primarily upon the physicochemical characteristics of the molecules, and requires only commonly available reagents and equipment. Using radiolabeled internal tracers, we show that recovery of each major class of glycans is as good or better than with conventional approaches for isolating individual classes, and that cross-contamination is minimal. The recovered glycans are of sufficient purity to provide a "glycoprofile" of a cell type or tissue. We applied this approach to compare the N- and O-glycans from wild type mouse tissues with those from mice genetically deficient in glycosyltransferases. N- and O-glycan mixtures from organs of mice deficient in ST6Gal-I (CMP-Sia:Galbeta1-4GlcNAc alpha2-6 sialyltransferase) were studied by the nano-NMR spectroscopy approach, showing no detectable alpha2-6-linked sialic acids. Thus, ST6Gal-I is likely responsible for generating most or all of these residues in normal mice. Similar studies indicate that this linkage is very rare in ganglioside glycans, even in wild-type tissues. In mice deficient in GalNAcT-8 (UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide O-Ser/Thr GalNAc transferase 8), HPLC profiling indicates that O-glycans persist in the thymus in large amounts, without a major change in overall profile, suggesting that other enzymes can synthesize the GalNAc-O-Ser/Thr linkage in this tissue. These results demonstrate the applicability of nano-NMR spectroscopy to complex glycan mixtures, as well as the versatility of the Glycan Isolation Protocol, which makes possible the concurrent examination of multiple glycan classes from intact vertebrate tissues.

Abstract
This communication describes the use of two-dimensional relayed (TOCSY)-ROESY experiments for the rapid and selective identification of alpha/beta1,2-glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides. The method assists in the identification of cross-peaks in crowded regions of ROESY spectra by moving them to less congested areas. In addition, the appearance of the spectra provides information relating the location of the glycosidic linkage within the sequence of the glycan under study. Selection of solely the 1,2- linkages is achieved by appropriately tuning the duration of the TOCSY mixing period. The method is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally for a variety of test case polysaccharides.

Abstract
Derivatization using 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) was selected among a number of reported methods for labeling carbohydrates, since it gives a quantitative yield, proceeds through a rapid reaction and involves a simple clean-up procedure. Moreover, PMP derivatives provide an increase in sensitivity with ultraviolet and mass spectrometric detection relative to native neutral sugars. Sensitivity studies were carried out using a standard oligosaccharide, tetraglucose. One of the aims of these studies was to determine the minimum amounts of PMP-tetraglucose necessary to generate informative full-scan electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra and collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectra. Another aim was to characterize the fragmentation pattern of PMP derivatives. Quantitative and qualitative studies were also carried out with a typical N-linked oligosaccharide obtained commercially. The PMP-labeled compound underwent directed cleavages which produced fragments containing the reducing end. The native N-linked sugar yielded fragments corresponding to cleavages from both ends of the molecule. Under the same ESI conditions, the N-linked oligosaccharide exhibited more lability, or tendency to fragment, than neutral tetraglucose, in both the derivatized and native forms. Also, PMP labeling was shown to enhance sensitivity in the case of a neutral oligosaccharide, i.e. tetraglucose, whereas the labeling of an N-acetylated oligosaccharide, NGA3, did not yield a noticeable improvement in sensitivity.

Abstract
The advantages of labeling free N-linked oligosaccharides with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP), for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) are discussed. The study focuses on some asialo and sialylated sugars, and compares the HPLC and ESI-MS behaviors of the PMP-labeled substances vs. the native compounds. It is pointed out that native free N-linked carbohydrates have very low affinities for the C18 reversed phases commonly used in HPLC. Native asialo oligosaccharides yield good ESI-MS sensitivity, although they are very susceptible to in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID), and the fragments are produced from any of the branches of the molecules, i.e. do not give specific structural information. Native N-linked standards bearing one sialic acid residue yield a 10-fold loss of ESI-MS sensitivity vs. asialo compounds, and native sugars with two sialic acid moieties were not detectable. The PMP labeling of asialo and sialylated sugars yielded higher affinities for HPLC C18 columns and, even at the early stages of method development, it was possible to separate three PMP-labeled standards to a useful extent. In ESI-MS, PMP-asialo sugars did not yield a significant increase in sensitivity vs. the native species; however, fragmentation produced by in-source CID was more directed as all predominant fragment ions contained the bis-PMP label. This feature is particularly useful when structural determination of an unknown sugar is required. PMP-sialylated sugars gave rise to very clean and informative ESI mass spectra. The monosialo sugar yielded a 100-fold sensitivity improvement vs. its native analog and, in the case of the disialylated compound, a 100% improvement was obtained in the positive mode. Most fragment ions were informative and contained the reducing end on the molecules, thus facilitating spectral interpretation. The combination of PMP derivatization with on-line HPLC/ESI-MS is a promising method for the analysis of asialo and sialylated carbohydrate mixtures.

Abstract
An evaluation of capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) as an analytical methodology for the separation and characterization of complex glycopeptides and nonglycopeptide structures has been performed. The evaluation employed endoproteinase V8 digested recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) that was further fractionated by reverse phase chromatography. The peptides were subjected to sequence analysis and evaluated by capillary electrophoresis, with or without mass detection, for peptide purity. The peptide mass determined from the sequence was then compared to the mass obtained from CZE-MS. Glycosylation sites and carbohydrate branch patterns were easily determined, site specific microheterogeneity (either O-acetylation of N-acetylneuraminic acids or lactosamine extensions of the carbohydrate chain length) was assessed directly, glycosylation site occupancy was evaluated qualitatively, and nonglycopeptides were resolved and analyzed on-line with ease. Incomplete peptide digestion products were detected and identified by CZE-MS. Protein sequence coverage by CZE-MS was 98.2 percent complete from a single map. Off-line evaluation of peptide purity by CZE greatly aided the interpretation of multiple sequence analysis and, in validating that, the CZE-MS was detecting all peptides present. All off-line CZE and on-line CZE-MS experiments employed a capillary that was dynamically coated with Polybrene in the presence of polyethylene glycol; separations were conducted in 0.67 M formic acid.

Abstract
Mass spectra of fragments of permethylated oligosaccharides are analyzed by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. Sustained off-resonance irradiation (SORI) collision-induced dissociation (CID), quadrupolar axialization, multiple stages of isolation and dissociation (MSn), and ion remeasurement are exploited for carbohydrate structural analyses. That SORI CID internal energies are adequate for linkage analysis of a permethylated glucose oligomer is demonstrated by identifying ring-opened fragment ions from MALDI-generated mass-isolated and collisionally activated ions. Ion remeasurement and axialization techniques enhance the sensitivity of ion fragmentation analysis. Multiple stages of isolation and dissociation of ion fragments (MSn) provide for structural analysis of an electrospray-ionized permethylated lacto-N-fucopentaose isomer (LNFP II). Compared to MS2 spectra taken with a triple quadrupole, FT-ICR MSn (n > 2) provides more extensive characterization of the parent molecular structure than is available from a single stage of ion isolation and dissociation (MS2).

Abstract
A new technique for determining sequence and linkage information of underivatized oligosaccharides is developed using alkaline degradation and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry (MALDI-FTMS). Alkaline degradation (also known as the "peeling" reaction) is a chemical degradation technique that only cleaves the glycosidic bond at the reducing end by beta-elimination to yield a new reducing end. The reaction products are sampled directly with minimal cleanup and monitored by MALDI-FTMS to elucidate the oligosaccharide sequence. Linkage information is provided by cross-ring cleavage fragmentation of the new reducing ends, created by either MALDI source fragmentation or sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation. This method is illustrated by the successful sequence and linkage determination of neutral, branched, fucosylated, and sialylated oligosaccharides. Experiments on differently linked disaccharides are also performed to determine the specificity of the cross-ring cleavage reactions. The power of this technique is enhanced by the Fourier transform mass analyzer, which provides high-resolution, exact mass, and facile tandem mass spectrometry experiments of MALDI-produced ions.

Abstract
A generally applicable, rapid, and sensitive method for profiling and sequencing of glycoprotein-associated N-linked oligosaccharides from protein gels was developed. The method employed sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) for protein separation and purification and in-gel deglycosylation using PNGase F for glycan release. Profiles of the neutral glycans from bovine ribonuclease B, chicken ovalbumin, and human immunoglobulin G (IgG), as well as sialic acid-containing sugars (following esterification of the acidic groups) of bovine fetuin and bovine alpha1-acid glycoprotein, were obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) and by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography following fluorescent labeling. Oligosaccharides were sequenced using specific exoglycosidases, and digestion products were analyzed by MALDI MS. Between 50 and 100 pmol (1.5 to 15 microg) of glycoprotein applied to the gel was sufficient to characterize its oligosaccharide contents. The identity of all glycoproteins investigated could be confirmed after deglycosylation by in-gel trypsin treatment followed by MALDI MS mass mapping and matching the measured molecular weights to a sequence database. The technique was used for the characterization of the glycan moieties of human immunodeficiency virus recombinant gp120 (Chinese hamster ovary cells) and to monitor changes in the glycosylation of this glycoprotein when produced in the presence of a glucosidase I inhibitor. Furthermore, since heavy and light chains of IgG became separated by SDS-PAGE, it could be established that most glycans were associated with the heavy chains.

Abstract
We have characterized the primary structures of the predominant N-linked oligosaccharides on cellobiohydrolase I from the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei RUTC30. Different enzymatic and chromatographic techniques were used to analyze six oligosaccharides. The combined data showed that the fungal carbohydrates have a core structure that is identical to the mammalian N-linked core. In the bulk of the N-glycans, the alpha-1,3 arm is extended with two mannoses and a glucose, suggesting incomplete processing of the oligosaccharides in the endoplasmic reticulum. The alpha-1,6 arm shows a remarkable heterogeneity: in addition to alpha-1,2-Man and alpha-1,6-Man, the presence of a terminal mannose alpha-1,6-phosphodiester was observed. This latter substituent has not been characterized before on mannosidase-processed N-glycan and its function and synthesis pathway are entirely unknown. The predominant N-glycans on cellobiohydrolase I can be represented as follows: GlcMan8GlcNAc2, GlcMan7GlcNAc2, Man7GlcNAc2, ManPGlcMan7GlcNAc2, GlcMan5GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2.

Abstract
The anomeric configuration of tyvelose, 3,6-dideoxy-D-arabino-hexopyranose, in the recently discovered glycan epitopes of the parasite Trichinella spiralis has not been established. Two 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl disaccharide glycosides, alpha- and beta-Tyv-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalNAc (4 and 5), have been synthesized to provide model compounds that, together with the methyl 3,6-dideoxy-alpha- and beta-D-arabino-hexopyranosides (2 and 3), aid the determination of the anomeric configuration of tyvelose residues in the parasite glycan, either indirectly by immunochemical inhibition data or directly by the technique of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Methyl 3,6-dideoxy-beta-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (3) was synthesized from methyl 2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-mannopyranoside (9) by a method previously used for the alpha anomer 2. Benzylation of 2 provided a route to the glycosyl donor, 2,4-di-O-benzyl-3,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl chloride (30), that reacted with the selectively protected 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranoside alcohol 18 in the presence of an insoluble silver zeolite catalyst to give the alpha- and beta-linked disaccharides 31 and 32. Glycosylation of the related 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranoside alcohol 27 by 30 under similar conditions provided disaccharides 33 and 34 containing a tether. Deprotection of the saccharide and derivatization of the tether with 1,2-diaminoethane provided amide derivatives 35 and 36 suitable for the preparation of neoglycoconjugate antigens. Complete 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of the deprotected disaccharides and monosaccharides are reported.

Abstract
To gain more insight into the possible functional significance of the core glycan chain(s) on which polysialylation takes place in polysialic acid (poly-Sia)-containing glycoproteins, the structure of the core glycans in the embryonic form of chick brain neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) were examined using chemical and instrumental techniques. The following new structural features, which had not been reported by the early pioneering study by Finne (Finne, J. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 11966-11970), were revealed (Structure I). (i) Two distinct types of multiantennary N-linked glycans, i.e. tri- and tetra-antennary structures, are present; (ii) an alpha1-->6-linked fucosyl residue is attached to the proximal GlcNAc residue of the di-N-acetylchitobiosyl unit; (iii) that the action of GlcNAc-transferase V, which catalyzes the attachment of the beta-(1-->6)-linked GlcNAc residue on the (1-->6)-alpha-linked mannose (Man) arm, appears to be essential for polysialylation to occur on the core glycan chain is suggested by the fact that the Man residue alpha1-->6-linked to the beta-linked Man residue is invariably 2,6-di-O-substituted by the GlcNAc residue; (iv) both type 1 (Galbeta1-->3GlcNAc) and type 2 (Galbeta1-->4 GlcNAc) sequences are present in the peripheral portion of the core glycan structure. An extended form of the type 2 chain, i.e. Galbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-->3Galbeta1-->4GlcNAc, is also expressed on the (1-->3)- and (1-->6)-alpha-linked Man arms; (v) on average about 1.4 mol of sulfate is attached to the type 2 N-acetyllactosamine chain(s), where in the extended form the sulfate group is probably substituted at the O-3 position of the outmost GlcNAc residue, i.e. Galbeta1-->4(HSO3-->3)GlcNAcbeta1-->3Galbeta1--> 4GlcNAcbeta1-->Man. It is possible that the unusual structural features identified in this study might play a role in the initiation of polysialylation and our data should facilitate future research regarding the signals that control polysialylation.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding a novel sialyltransferase has been isolated employing the polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers to conserved regions of the sialylmotif that is present in all eukaryotic members of the sialyltransferase gene family examined to date. The cDNA sequence revealed an open reading frame coding for 305 amino acids, making it the shortest sialyltransferase cloned to date. This open reading frame predicts all the characteristic structural features of other sialyltransferases including a type II membrane protein topology and both sialylmotifs, one centrally located and the second in the carboxyl-terminal portion of the cDNA. When compared with all other sialyltransferase cDNAs, the predicted amino acid sequence displays the lowest homology in the sialyltransferase gene family. Northern analysis shows this sialyltransferase to be developmentally regulated in brain with expression persisting through adulthood in spleen, kidney, and lung. Stable transfection of the full-length cDNA in the human kidney carcinoma cell line 293 produced an active sialyltransferase with marked specificity for the sialoside, Neu5Ac-alpha2,3Gal-beta1,3GalNAc and glycoconjugates carrying the same sequence such as G(M1b) and fetuin. The disialylated tetrasaccharide formed by reacting the sialyltransferase with the aforementioned sialoside was analyzed by one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and was shown to be the Neu5Ac-alpha2,3Gal-beta1,3(Neu5Ac-alpha2,6)GalNAc sialoside. This indicates that the enzyme is a GalNAc alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase. Since two other ST6GalNAc sialyltransferase cDNAs have been isolated, this sialyltransferase has been designated ST6GalNAc III. Of these three, ST6GalNAc III displays the most restricted acceptor specificity and is the only sialyltransferase cloned to date capable of forming the developmentally regulated ganglioside G(D1alpha) from G(M1b).
