Park SJ, Sharma A, Lee HJ. An Update on the Chemical Constituents and Biological Properties of Selected Species of an Underpinned Genus of Red Algae: Chondrus. Mar Drugs 2024; 22:47. [PMID: 38248672 PMCID: PMC10817618 DOI: 10.3390/md22010047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Macroalgae, particularly red seaweeds, have attracted significant attention due to their economic and health benefits. Chondrus, a red algae genus, despite its economic importance, seems to be undervalued. Among all its species, Chondrus crispus has been meticulously documented for its biological properties, and little is known about other species. No comprehensive review of the biological properties of this genus has been acknowledged. Thus, this review aimed to summarize the available information on the chemical constituents and biological properties of a few selected species, including Chondrus crispus, Chondrus ocellatus, Mazzaella canaliculata, and Chondrus armatus. We compiled and discovered that the genus is offering most of the important health-promoting benefits evidenced from in vitro and in vivo studies focused on antimicrobial, immunomodulation, neuroprotection, anti-atopic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, cytoprotective, antioxidant, anti-coagulation, nephroprotective, anti-tumor, and anti-venom activity, which speaks about the potential of this genus. Data on clinical studies are limited. Further, around 105 chemical constituents have been reported from Chondrus spp. Given its significance, further investigation is warranted, in the form of meticulously planned cell, animal, and clinical studies that concentrate on novel health-enhancing endeavors, in order to unveil the full potential of this genus. The review also outlines challenges and future directions.

Abstract
In recent years, algal-derived glycans and oligosaccharides have become increasingly important in health applications due to higher bioactivities than plant-derived oligosaccharides. The marine organisms have complex, and highly branched glycans and more reactive groups to elicit greater bioactivities. However, complex and large molecules have limited use in broad commercial applications due to dissolution limitations. In comparison to these, oligosaccharides show better solubility and retain their bioactivities, hence, offering better applications opportunity. Accordingly, efforts are being made to develop a cost-effective method for enzymatic extraction of oligosaccharides from algal polysaccharides and algal biomass. Yet detailed structural characterization of algal-derived glycans is required to produce and characterize the potential biomolecules for improved bioactivity and commercial applications. Some macroalgae and microalgae are being evaluated as in vivo biofactories for efficient clinical trials, which could be very helpful in understanding the therapeutic responses. This review discusses the recent advancements in the production of oligosaccharides from microalgae. It also discusses the bottlenecks of the oligosaccharides research, technological limitations, and probable solutions to these problems. Furthermore, it presents the emerging bioactivities of algal oligosaccharides and their promising potential for possible biotherapeutic application.

Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20120741. [PMID: 36547888 PMCID: PMC9783017 DOI: 10.3390/md20120741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The carrageenans isolated from red algae demonstrated a variety of activities from antiviral and immunomodulatory to antitumor. The diverse structure and sulfation profile of carrageenans provide a great landscape for drug development. In this study, we isolated, purified and structurally characterized κo- and λo- oligosaccharides from the marine algae Chondrus armatus. We further examined the tumor suppressive activity of both carrageenans in gastrointestinal cancer models. Thus, using MTT assay, we could demonstrate a pronounced antiproliferative effect of the carrageenans in KYSE-30 and FLO-1 as well as HCT-116 and RKO cell lines with IC50 184~405 μg/mL, while both compounds were less active in non-cancer epithelial cells RPE-1. This effect was stipulated by the inhibition of cell cycle progression in the cancer cells. Specifically, flow cytometry revealed an S phase delay in FLO-1 and HCT-116 cells under κo-carrageenan treatment, while KYSE-30 demonstrated a pronounced G2/M cell cycle delay. In line with this, western blotting revealed a reduction of cell cycle markers CDK2 and E2F2. Interestingly, κo-carrageenan inhibited cell cycle progression of RKO cells in G1 phase. Finally, isolated κo- and λo- carrageenans induced apoptosis on adenocarcinomas, specifically with high apoptosis induction in RKO cells. Overall, our data underline the potential of κo- and λo- carrageenans for colon and esophageal carcinoma drug development.

Abstract
Sulphated polysaccharides (SPs) are carbohydrate macromolecules with sulphate esters that are found among marine algae, seagrasses, mangroves and some terrestrial plants. The sulphate concentration in the ocean (28 mM) since ancient time could have driven the production of SPs in marine algae. SPs have a gelatinous property that can protect marine algae against desiccation and salinity stress. Agar and carrageenan are red algal SPs that are widely used as gelling agents in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The information on the SPs from freshwater and land plants are limited. In this review, we reviewed the taxonomic distribution and composition of SPs in different photosynthetic lineages, and explored the association of SP production in these diversified photosynthetic organisms with evolution history and environmental stresses. We also reviewed the genes/proteins involved in SP biosynthesis. Insights into SP biosynthetic machinery may shed light on the evolution that accompanied adaptation to life on earth.

Abstract
Carrageenan (CRG) and carrageenan/chitosan (CH) gel beads (CRG/CH) were prepared as a release delivery system for echinochrome A (Ech). According to spectral data, the Ech was dispersed in the polymer matrix, interacted with CRG, was not oxidised, and remained stable after encapsulation in CRG beads. Carrageenan beads containing Ech were coated with CH by layering. The influence of the structural features of CRG on the formation of beads and the beads morphology, swelling behaviour, mucoadhesive properties and drug release were evaluated. The polysaccharide matrices with Ech showed different swelling characteristics depending on the pH of the medium and the structure of the CRG used. The slow drug release from polysaccharide matrixes was observed for κ- and κ/β-CRG beads, that contained 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactopyranose units and had high molecular weight. The obtained results showed the prospects of using polysaccharide beads to include Ech.

Abstract
This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2016. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions and applications to chemical synthesis. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and the enormous impact that MALDI imaging is having. MALDI, although invented over 30 years ago is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and range of applications show no sign of deminishing. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Several in vivo immunotropic effects of κ/β-carrageenan isolated from the red algae Tichocarpus crinitus were studied, by orally administering it at 100 mg/kg/day to mice for 7 days. Serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-1β, and IL-4 were measured. Carrageenan's ability to influence development of LPS-induced inflammation was also assessed. Oral administration of κ/β-carrageenan increased serum levels of all the studied cytokines at least twice in comparison to the intact mice, while intraperitoneal LPS injection at 1 mg/kg increased concentration of only the pro-inflammatory cytokines: IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-1β. Furthermore, κ/β-carrageenan demonstrated a higher efficacy at inducing IFN-γ production than LPS. Previous 7-day-long oral carrageenan administration impaired development of LPS-induced inflammation: level of IL-1β dropped below that found in intact mice, while IFN-γ and IL-12 concentrations were at least 40% lower than in mice with LPS-induced inflammation. Murine peritoneal macrophages were also affected by the oral administration of the κ/β-carrageenan: their motility was increased, and morphology altered. In sum, we have demonstrated that κ/β-carrageenan, when administered orally, is not only not immunologically inert, but at the dose of 100 mg/kg possesses pharmacologically exploitable effects.

Abstract
Red algal galactans can participate in cell surface biology involving complement system. Polysaccharides inhibit C3 binding to LPS with direct dependence on degree of sulfation. Degree of sulfation mattered in carrageenans capacity to reduce C4 binding to mannan. C4 binding to antibodies was activated in the presence of carrageenans. No relevant structural characteristics were observed in ameliorating C5 cleavage by plasmin.
The research described here presents data on the effect of galactans of red algae, carrageenans (λ/μ/ν-, κ-, κ/β-, and ι/κ-types), and agar on complement system activation in normal human serum. The experiments were based on well surfaces coated with triggering agents for binding initiating complement components —C3 and C4. The sulfated galactans inhibited C3 binding to lipopolysaccharide with direct dependence on the sulfation degree of polysaccharides. Sulfation degree was also important in carrageenans’ capacity to reduce C4 binding to mannan. However, C4 binding to antibodies was considerably activated by carrageenans, especially with 3,6-anhydrogalactose. The gelling carrageenans were able to block antigen binding centers of total serum IgM and with more intensity than non-gelling. No structural characteristics mattered in ameliorating C5 cleavage by plasmin in extrinsic protease complement activation, but λ/μ/ν- and κ/β-carrageenans almost completely inhibited C5 cleavage. Thus, galactans participated in cell surface biology by imitating surface glycans in inhibition of C3 binding and mannose binding lectin, but as to the tthe heclassical pathway these substances stimulated complement, probably due to their structure based on carrabiose.

Abstract
Here we prepared a low-degree-sulfated κ/β-carrageenan oligosaccharide (L-DS-KOS) by DMSO-methanol desulfation method, and fabricated a sponge dressing for the wound healing of diabetic rats. The immunomodulatory effects of L-DS-KOS on M1-like macrophages were evaluated. Results showed that L-DS-KOS could effectively promote the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors and accelerate polarization of LPS-activated macrophages from M1 to M2 type. The gross examination result showed that the sponge dressing with the mass ratio of L-DS-KOS: collagen = 3: 7 could effectively accelerate the repair process of the full-thickness excisional wound in diabetic rats; and H&E and Masson staining results disclosed that the L-DS-KOS/collagen dressing could better shorten the inflammation period of the wound site, and improve the process of collagen deposition and epithelial formation, thereby promote the repair of skin wounds in diabetic rats. These results demonstrate that L-DS-KOS has potential to be used as a new type of immunomodulatory biomaterial for diabetic wound dressings.

Abstract
Ability of high molecular weight (HMW) κ- and λ-carrageenans of the red marine algae Chondrus armatus and their low molecular weight degradation products (LMWDPs) (0.7-20 and 10-170 kDa respectively) to influence functional properties (motility and phagocytosis) of murine peritoneal macrophages was assessed in this study as an in vitro and a weeklong feeding experiment. We demonstrated that, with an exception of one, all carrageenan samples at 100 μg/ml increased cellular motility and dose-dependently decreased phagocytic activity; LMWDPs of λ-carrageenan suppressed motility and had no effect on phagocytosis. Oral administration of all the carrageenan samples at 100 μg/kg/day for 7 days to mice had no effect on their clinical appearance, body weight, weight of their liver, spleen or thymus or development of noticeable changes to their inner organs. All samples induced a shift of the cell composition of the peritoneal cavity towards macrophages. Consumption of LMWDPs of κ-carrageenan resulted in development of leukopenia, however, no changes to relative WBC count were introduced by either of the samples. All samples decreased murine peritoneal macrophages phagocytic activity, with λ-samples possessing higher efficacy than their κ-counterparts; all LMWDPs stimulated peritoneal macrophages motility, with κ-samples possessing higher efficacy than their λ-counterparts In conclusion, we have shown that κ- and λ-carrageenans of the C. armatus and their LMWDPs suppress phagocytotic activity of peritoneal macrophages under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. This allows them to be viewed as pharmacologically active substances andpropagates the need for their further investigation as such.

Abstract
The immunotropic activity of polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) of κ-carrageenan (κ-CGN) and chitosan (CH) of various compositions was assessed in comparison with the initial polysaccharides in comparable doses. For this, two soluble forms of PEC, with an excess of CH (CH:CGN mass ratios of 10:1) and with an excess of CGN (CH: CGN mass ratios of 1:10) were prepared. The ability of PEC to scavenge NO depended on the content of the κ-CGN in the PEC. The ability of the PEC to induce the synthesis of pro-inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) and anti-inflammatory (interleukine-10 (IL-10)) cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cell was determined by the activity of the initial κ-CGN, regardless of their composition. The anti-inflammatory activity of PEC and the initial compounds was studied using test of histamine-, concanavalin A-, and sheep erythrocyte immunization-induced inflammation in mice. The highest activity of PEC, as well as the initial polysaccharides κ-CGN and CH, was observed in a histamine-induced exudative inflammation, directly related to the activation of phagocytic cells, i.e., macrophages and neutrophils.

Abstract
Marine resources exist in vast numbers and show enormous diversity. As a result, there are likely many possible applications for marine molecules of interest in the cosmetic industry, whether as excipients or additives, but especially as active substances. It is possible to obtain extracts from active substances; for example, quite a few algae species can be used in moisturizing or anti-ageing products. In the field of topical photoprotection, mycosporine-like amino acids and gadusol are important lines of enquiry that should not be overlooked. In the field of additives, the demonstration that certain seaweed (algae) extracts have antimicrobial properties suggests that they could provide alternatives to currently authorized preservatives. These promising leads must be explored, but it should be kept in mind that it is a long process to bring ingredients to market that are both effective and safe to use.

Abstract
The research described here focused on the effect of sulfated red algal polysaccharides (κ-, κ/β-, ι/κ-carrageenan) individually and in combination with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β and IL-6) in whole blood model in vitro. The results demonstrated that, at high concentrations, carrageenans have substantial ability to modulate PGE2 synthesis and stimulate IL-1β and IL-6 synthesis. A low degree of sulfate and high molecular weight were a prerequisite for the ability of carrageenans to modulate PGE2 synthesis. Further, we investigated the ability of the carrageenans alone and in combination with casein to affect bile salt permeability through an artificial membrane imitating the gastrointestinal barrier. The least sulfated κ/β-carrageenan could retain bile salt permeation the most but less efficiently than cholestyramine. The polysaccharides did not affect pancreatic lipase activity. Our data confirm a possible mechanism of the cholesterol-reducing properties of carrageenan.

Abstract
Antitumor and immunotropic effects of κ-, λ-carrageenan from red marine algae Chondrus armatus and their low-molecular weight (LMW) degradation products were explored. Effects on human esophageal cancer cell lines KYSE30 and FLO1 viability and ability to induce production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines by human monocytes was assessed. All polysaccharides demonstrated antimetabolic and cytostatic activity towards cancer lines, with high-molecular weight carrageenans possessing higher antimetabolic and lower cytostatic activity than their LMW degradation products. All carrageenans induced monocytes to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1β, IL6, IL18, and TNFα. However, secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 was induced only by LMW λ-carrageenan, which exhibited the highest cytokine production inducing efficacy overall. We demonstrate that LMW carrageenan degradation products not only retain biological activity of their precursors, but also increase their efficacy in type-dependent manner, allowing for their future development for pharmacological practice.

Abstract
The mucoadhesive properties of different types of carrageenan (kappa-, kappa/beta-, iota/kappa- and lambda-CRGs) isolated from red seaweed families Gigartinaceae and Tichocarpaceae collected on the Pacific coast were studied. We examined the interaction between CRGs and pig stomach mucin in dilute aqueous solutions using a set of methods. Measurements of the dynamic light scattering of mucin in the presence of CRG showed that the polysaccharides cause aggregation of mucin particles, as confirmed by microscopy data. The addition of CRGs to solutions of mucin resulted in the formation of a mixture that changed the charge of mucin, especially in the case of kappa- and kappa/beta-CRGs. The interaction between CRG and porcine gastric mucin in the presence of various additives confirmed that hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions are complemented when CRG and mucin are mixed in an aqueous medium, which is also confirmed by in vitro methods based on measurements of work of adhesion and shear stress. Kappa- and kappa/beta-CRGs that contain 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactopyranose chains (DA) have high molecular weight and exhibit a high density of available hydrogen bonding groups able to interact more strongly with mucin glycoproteins.

Abstract
The hydrocolloids carrageenan and agar are the major fraction industrially extracted and commercialized from red seaweeds. However, this type of macroalgae also contains a variety of components with nutritional, functional and biological properties. In the context of sustainability and bioeconomy, where the integral utilization of the natural resources is incentivized, the sequential separation and valorization of seaweed components with biological properties of interest for food, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and pharmaceuticals is proposed. In this work, a review of the available conventional and alternative greener and efficient extraction for obtaining red seaweed bioactives is presented. The potential of emerging technologies for the production of valuable oligomers from carrageenan and agar is also commented, and finally, the sequential extraction of the constituent fractions is discussed.

Abstract
Because of their potential use as functional ingredients in human nutrition, oligosaccharides derived from natural sources are receiving paramount consideration. Red seaweed, a proven rich source of agar and carrageenan, is one of the most abundantly present sources of such oligosaccharides. Agaro-oligosaccharides (AOS) and carrageenan-oligosaccharides (COS) are produced from agar and carrageenan, respectively, through chemical and enzymatic hydrolyses. Enzymatic hydrolysis of agar and carrageenan into oligosaccharides is preferred in industrial production because of certain problems associated with chemical hydrolysis, including the release of high amounts of monosaccharides and undesirable toxic products, such as furfural. AOS and COS possess many biological activities, including prebiotic, immuno-modulatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-tumor activities. These activities are related to their chemical structure, molecular weight, degree of polymerization, and the flexibility of the glycosidic linkages. Therefore, the structure–function relationship and the mechanisms occurring during the specific biological applications of AOS and COS are discussed herein. Moreover, the chromatographic separation, purification, and characterization of AOS and COS are also part of this review. This piece of writing strives to create a new perspective on the potential applications of AOS and COS in the functional food and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Inclusion of drugs in liposomes offers the potential for localized and sustained delivery to mucosal surfaces. The inclusion of the carrageenan matrix with echinochrome A ((Ech)—the active substance of the drug Histochrome) in liposomes was studied. According to the spectral characteristics, Ech was not oxidized and retained stability after encapsulation in the liposomes and the lyophilization process. Loading the liposomes with negatively charged polysaccharide results in the increase in the zeta potential to more negative values (from −14.6 to −24.4 mV), that together with an increasing in the sizes of liposomes (from 125.6 ± 2.5 nm to 159.3 ± 5.8 nm) propose of the formation of the polymer coating on liposomes. The interactions of liposomes with porcine stomach mucin was determined by the DLS and SEM methods. The changes in the zeta-potential and size of the mucin particles were observed as the result of the interaction of liposomes with mucin. To evaluate the mucoadhesive properties of liposomes and the penetration of Ech in the mucosa, a fresh-frozen inner surface of the small intestine of a pig as a model of mucous tissue was used. Polysaccharide-coated liposomes exhibit very good mucoadhesive properties −50% of Ech remains on the mucosa.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is an increasing concern due to poor prognosis, aggressive disease modalities, and a lack of efficient therapeutics. The two types of esophageal cancer: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) are responsible for an estimated 450,000 annual deaths, with over 457,000 new patients diagnosed in 2015, making it the eighth most prevalent and the 10th most fatal cancer worldwide. As esophageal cancer prevalence continues to increase, and so does the pressing need for the development of new and effective strategies for the early diagnostics, prevention, and treatment of this cancer, as well for building the innovative research tools to understand the affected molecular mechanisms. This short review summarizes the current statistics and recent research of the problems and solutions related to the esophageal cancer, and offer a brief overview of its epidemiology, molecular alterations, and existing biomedical tools. We will discuss currently available research tools and discuss selected approaches we deem relevant to find new model systems and therapies for the future with the special focus on novel opportunities presented by the unique molecules found in algae, namely carbohydrates and lipids. Their remarkable chemical variability is connected to their striking structural and functional properties, which combined with the relative novelty of these compounds to cancer biology, warrants interest of the wide biomedical community to these molecules, especially in the esophageal cancer theory and practice.

Abstract
The in vivo effect of κ/β-carrageenan isolated from the red alga Tichocarpus crinitus on cytokine synthesis and cellular activity of murine peritoneal macrophages and also the protective effect of polysaccharides in LPS-induced endotoxemia in mice was studied. It was established that κ/β-carrageenan given orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg stimulates the induction of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) in mouse blood cells by more than 2.5-fold compared with control, with no effect on pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α) production. Pretreating mice with carrageenan once a day before injecting LPS increased the levels of IL-10 by 2.5-fold and reduced TNF-α production by 2-fold compared with control. So, κ/β-carrageenan alone and in combination with LPS enhanced the cellular activity and mobility of peritoneal macrophages by increasing cell adhesion and migration compared with control. LPS activated cells intensively, sometimes resulting in their destruction by necrosis; carrageenan pretreatment reduced the excessive inflammatory cell activation caused by LPS. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Chondrus crispus, an economically and medicinally important red alga, is a medicinally active substance and important for anti-tumor research. In this study, 117 C. crispus miRNAs (108 conserved and 9 novel) were identified from 2,416,181 small-RNA reads using high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics methods. According to the BLAST search against the miRBase database, these miRNAs belonged to 110 miRNA families. Sequence alignment combined with homology searching revealed both the conservation and diversity of predicted potential miRNA families in different plant species. Four and 19 randomly selected miRNAs were validated by northern blotting and stem-loop quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction detection, respectively. The validation rates (75% and 94.7%) demonstrated that most of the identified miRNAs could be credible. A total of 160 potential target genes were predicted and functionally annotated by Gene Ontology analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. We also analyzed the interrelationship of miRNAs, miRNA-target genes and target genes in C. crispus by constructing a Cytoscape network. The 117 miRNAs identified in our study should supply large quantities of information that will be important for red algae small RNA research.
