Mar Drugs 2024; 22:399. [PMID: 39330280 PMCID: PMC11432990 DOI: 10.3390/md22090399] [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: 07/31/2024] [Revised: 08/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a well-known functional marine polysaccharide. The utilization and derivative development of HA are of great interest. Hyaluronan lyase has wide application prospects in the production of HA oligosaccharides and lower molecular weight HA. In this study, a strain of Enterobacter asburiae CGJ001 with high hyaluronan lyase activity was screened from industrial wastewater. This strain exhibited an impressive enzyme activity of 40,576 U/mL after being incubated for 14 h. Whole genome sequencing analysis revealed that E. asburiae CGJ001 contained a cluster of genes involved in HA degradation, transport, and metabolism. A newly identified enzyme responsible for glycosaminoglycan degradation was designated as HylEP0006. A strain of E. coli BL21(DE3)/pET-22b(+)-hylEP0006 was successfully constructed. HylEP0006 exhibited optimal degradation at 40 °C and pH 7.0, showing a high activity of 950,168.3 U/mg. HylEP0006 showed specific activity against HA. The minimum degradation fragment of HylEP0006 was hyaluronan tetrasaccharides, and HylEP0006 could efficiently degrade HA into unsaturated disaccharides (HA2), with HA2 as the final product. These characteristics indicate that HylEP0006 has a potential application prospect for the extraction and utilization of hyaluronic acid.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural glycosaminoglycan found in the human body, particularly in the extracellular matrix of body fluids and tissues. It plays a critical role in cellular processes of living organisms by maintaining tissue hydration, cell proliferation, differentiation, and inflammatory response. HA exhibits significant biological activity in skin care, aesthetic anti-aging, medical orthopedic repair, gynecological cancer monitoring, and other pathological conditions. Due to its exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, lack of toxicity, non-immunogenicity, and its capacity to bond with other substances, various HA-based biomedical products like hydrogels, microneedles, and microspheres have been developed. These innovations have also been applied in various medical and health fields, such as bone and tissue regeneration, gels for medical aesthetic fillers, and gynecology-related cancer treatment, utilizing the HA drug delivery pathway. The interest in HA and its products is increasing due to their biological functions. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize the biological properties of HA and to focus on its applications in the bone tissue engineering and healthcare, for HA has some practical applications of HA-based complexes in biomedical materials, tissue repair, medical aesthetics, and gynecology. Through this review, we seek to offer theoretical research assistance for the development of HA-based bioproducts in the healthcare domain and provide innovative insights for human health.

Impact of conditioning runs on hydrophilic interaction chromatography repeatability and its application as a second dimension in online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography. J Sep Sci 2024; 47:e2300935. [PMID: 38801757 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202300935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
A common separation approach for polar compounds involves coupling reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) in two-dimensional chromatography. The higher proportion of acetonitrile used in the HILIC mobile phase, which enhances mass spectrometry detection, encourages its use in the second dimension. Previous studies demonstrated that the HILIC column can be partially equilibrated within very short timeframes without compromising retention time stability, rendering it suitable in online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) setups. In addition, a specific number of conditioning cycles seems necessary to establish stable retention times. Here, the repeatability of HILIC when employed as second dimension in LC×LC was investigated, with a focus on determining the required number of conditioning cycles to achieve repeatable retention times. Various parameters influenced by the LC×LC online modulation system were studied, such as steep gradient slopes up to 8%, and very short equilibration times, less than or equal to dead time, as well as injection volume and solvent, which depend on the first dimension. Finally, the use of HILIC as a second dimension with tailored conditioning runs was applied to the analysis of hyaluronic acid hydrogel digests. The application of an RPLC×HILIC method using five conditioning runs yielded exceptional stability in second-dimension retention times.

Preparation of hyaluronan oligosaccharides by a prokaryotic beta-glucuronidase: Characterization of free and immobilized forms of the enzyme. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 317:121078.

Abstract
Popularity of hyaluronan (HA) in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, led to the investigation and development of new HA-based materials, with enzymes playing a key role. Beta-D-glucuronidases catalyze the hydrolysis of a beta-D-glucuronic acid residue from the non-reducing end of various substrates. However, lack of specificity towards HA for most beta-D-glucuronidases, in addition to the high cost and low purity of those active on HA, have prevented their widespread application. In this study, we investigated a recombinant beta-glucuronidase from Bacteroides fragilis (rBfGUS). We demonstrated the rBfGUS's activity on native, modified, and derivatized HA oligosaccharides (oHAs). Using chromogenic beta-glucuronidase substrate and oHAs, we characterized the enzyme's optimal conditions and kinetic parameters. Additionally, we evaluated rBfGUS's activity towards oHAs of various sizes and types. To increase reusability and ensure the preparation of enzyme-free oHA products, rBfGUS was immobilized on two types of magnetic macroporous bead cellulose particles. Both immobilized forms of rBfGUS demonstrated suitable operational and storage stabilities, and their activity parameters were comparable to the free form. Our findings suggest that native and derivatized oHAs can be prepared using this bacterial beta-glucuronidase, and a novel biocatalyst with enhanced operational parameters has been developed with a potential for industrial use.

Abstract
Dried leech (Whitmania pigra whitman) has been widely used as a traditional animal-based Chinese medicine. Dried leech extracts have been reported to have various biological activities that are often associated with mammalian glycosaminoglycans. However, their presence and possible structural characteristics within dried leech were previously unknown. In this study, glycosaminoglycans were isolated from dried leech for the first time and their structures were analyzed by the combination of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometry and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate were detected in dried leech with varied disaccharide compositions and possess a heterogeneous structure. Heparan sulfate species possess an equal amount of total 2-O-sulfated, N-sulfated and acetylated disaccharides, while chondroitin sulfate /dermatan sulfate contain high content of 4-O-sulfated disaccharides. Also, the quantitative analysis revealed that the contents of heparan sulfate and chondroitin/dermatan sulfate in dried leech varied significantly, with chondroitin/dermatan sulfate being by far the most abundant. This novel structural information could help clarify the possible involvement of these polysaccharides in the biological activities of the dried leech. Furthermore, leech glycosaminoglycans showed a strong ABTS radical scavenging ability, which suggests the potential of leech polysaccharides for exploitation in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Hyaluronate lyases (HA lyases) have been proved to distribute widely among microorganisms, with large potential in hyaluronan processing. Here, a highly active HA lyase HylC from Citrobacter freundii strain Cf1 is reported. HylC was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) under the regulation of T7 promoter, and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity for enzymatic characterization, which suggested its suitable thermo- and pH stability under 45 °C and pH rang of 4-8, and high halotolerancy in 1.5 M NaCl. The enzyme exhibited the optimal activity under 37 °C and pH 5.5, and was activated by Ca2+, K+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Li+. Analysis of degradation product proved it cleave HA in endolytic manner, releasing unsaturated disaccharides as final product. Then, through optimization of promoter and construction of dual promoter, expression level of HylC improved from 1.10 × 104 U/mL to 2.64 × 104 U/mL on shake-flask level. Finally, through batch fermentation, a highest activity of 2.65×105 U/mL was achieved in a 5-L fermenter. Taken together, this work demonstrates the potential of HylC and its recombinant strain in industrial applications. To our knowledge, the HA lyase production reported in this study was the highest level in literatures to date.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a nonsulfated linear glycosaminoglycan with a negative charge. Different from the high-molecular-weight HAs, the low-molecular-weight HAs (LMW-HAs, 4-120 kDa) and hyaluronan oligosaccharides (O-HAs, <4 kDa) exhibit certain unique biological properties, owing to which these have a wide range of applications in the field of medicine. However, the chemical synthesis of high-purity LMW-HAs and O-HAs requires complex procedures, which renders this process difficult to achieve. The degradation of HA is achieved under the catalysis of hyaluronidases. In recent years, various hyaluronidase genes have been identified, and their enzymatic properties have been analyzed. In this context, the present review summarizes the hyaluronidases from different sources, which have been characterized. The review focuses on the crystal structure and the catalytic mechanism underlying the biological properties of hyaluronidases. In addition, the molecular weight distributions and the preparation approaches of the enzymatic products LMW-HAs and O-HAs are described. The general orientation of the research on hyaluronidases was speculated based on the existing literature. Accordingly, the efficient large-scale production of LMW-HAs and O-HAs using the green enzymatic approach was anticipated.

Abstract
It has long been found that hyaluronidases exist in a variety of organisms, playing their roles in various biological processes including infection, envenomation and metabolic regulation through degrading hyaluronan. However, exploiting them as a bioresource for specific applications had not been extensively studied until the latest decades. In recent years, new application scenarios have been developed, which extended the field of application, and emphasized the research value of hyaluronidase. This critical review comprehensively summarizes existing studies on hyaluronidase from different source, particularly in their structures, action patterns, and biological functions in human and mammals. Furthermore, we give in-depth insight into the resource mining and protein engineering process of hyaluronidase, as well as strategies for their high-level production, indicating that mixed strategies should be adopted to obtain well-performing hyaluronidase with efficiency. In addition, advances in application of hyaluronidase were summarized and discussed. Finally, prospects for future researches are proposed, highlighting the importance of further investigation into the characteristics of hyaluronidases, and the necessity of investigating their products for the development of their application value.

Abstract
Algae-derived marine oligosaccharides have been reported to be promising bioactive compounds because of their various properties with health benefits and potential significance in numerous applications in industrial biotechnology. In this study, laminaran oligosaccharides (LOs) with varying degrees of polymerization were obtained through partial acid hydrolysis of laminaran derived from Laminaria digitata. Based on response surface methodology, the optimum LOs yield was obtained for acid hydrolysis laminaran at a hydrolysis time of 55 min, temperature of 71°C, and acid concentration of 1.00 mol/L. The size-exclusion resin Bio-Gel P-2 was considered to be a better option for LOs purification. The structure of the purified oligosaccharides was analyzed through mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. They demonstrated the main oligosaccharide structure corresponding to the connection of glucose with β-D-Glcp-(1→3)-β-D-Glcp, which was identified as laminaribiose (DP2), laminaritriose (DP3), laminaritetrose (DP4), and laminaripentaose (DP5). LOs demonstrate excellent antioxidant activities, as evidenced from their reactions with oxidizing free radicals, 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl, and 2, 2′-azino-bis (3-etilbenzotiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals. LOs exhibited a prebiotic effect on the growth of Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Lactobacillus plantarum. Therefore, we propose the development of LOs as natural antioxidants and prebiotics in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Hyaluronidases have attracted a great deal of interest in the field of medicine due to their fundamental roles in the breakdown of hyaluronan. However, little is known about the catalytic mechanism of the hyaluronate 3-glycanohydrolases. Here, we report the crystal structure and cleavage pattern of a leech hyaluronidase (LHyal), which hydrolyzes the β-1,3-glycosidic bonds of hyaluronan. LHyal exhibits the typical structural features of glycoside hydrolase 79 family but contains a variable 'exo-pocket' loop where basic residues R102 and K103 are the structural determinants of hyaluronan binding. Through analysis of the hydrolysis of even- and odd-numbered hyaluronan oligosaccharides, we demonstrate that hexasaccharide is the shortest natural substrate, which can be cleaved from both the reducing and non-reducing ends to release disaccharides, and pentasaccharides are the smallest fragments for recognition and hydrolysis. These observations provide new insights into the degradation of hyaluronan and the evolutionary relationships of the GH79 family enzymes.

Abstract
Hyaluronan is a non-sulfated negatively-charged linear polymer distributed in most parts of the human body, where it is located around cells in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues and plays an essential role in the organization of tissue architecture. Moreover, hyaluronan is involved in many biological processes and used in many clinical, cosmetic, pharmaceutic, and biotechnological applications worldwide. As interest in hyaluronan applications increases, so does interest in hyaluronidases and hyaluronate lyases, as these enzymes play a major part in hyaluronan degradation. Many hyaluronidases and hyaluronate lyases produced by eukaryotic cells, bacteria, and bacteriophages have so far been described and annotated, and their ability to cleave hyaluronan has been experimentally proven. These enzymes belong to several carbohydrate-active enzyme families, share very low sequence identity, and differ in their cleaving mechanisms and in their structural and functional properties. This review presents a summary of annotated and characterized hyaluronidases and hyaluronate lyases isolated from different sources belonging to distinct protein families, with a main focus on the binding and catalytic residues of the discussed enzymes in the context of their biochemical properties. In addition, the application potential of individual groups of hyaluronidases and hyaluronate lyases is evaluated.

Abstract
Angiogenesis, a fundamental process in human physiology and pathology, has attracted considerable attention owing to its potential as a therapeutic strategy. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR) are deemed major mediators of angiogenesis. To date, inhibition of the VEGF-A/VEGFR-2 axis has been an effective strategy employed in the development of anticancer drugs. However, some limitations, such as low efficacy and side effects, need to be addressed. Several drug candidates have been discovered, including small molecule compounds, recombinant proteins, and oligosaccharides. In this review, we focus on human oligosaccharides as modulators of angiogenesis. In particular, sialylated human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) play a significant role in the inhibition of VEGFR-2-mediated angiogenesis. We discuss the structural features concerning the interaction between sialylated HMOs and VEGFR-2 as a molecular mechanism of anti-angiogenesis modulation and its effectiveness in vivo experiments. In the current state, extensive clinical trials are required to develop a novel VEGFR-2 inhibitor from sialylated HMOs.

Abstract
Hyaluronidase (Hyal) can be employed to accomplish a diversity of complications related to hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyal contains some classes of catalysts that cleave HA. This enzyme is detected in several human tissues as well as in animal venoms, pathogenic organisms and cancers. Destructive cancer cells regularly increase the CD44 receptor existing in a cell membrane. This receptor acts as an exact receptor for HA, and HA is recognized to motivate the migration, spread, attack and metastasis of cancer cells. Nearly all of the methods used to purify Hyal are highly costly and not proper for industrial applications. This survey aims to review different methods of Hyal purification, which acts as an anticancer agent by degrading HA in tissues and thus inhibiting the CD44-HA interaction. Hyal can be successfully employed in the management of cancer, which is associated with HA-CD44. This review has described different methods for Hyal purification to prepare an origin to develop a novel purification technique for this highly appreciated protein. Using multiple columns is not applicable for the purification of Hyal and thus cannot be used at the industrial level. It is better to use affinity chromatography of anti-Hyal for Hyal with one-step purification.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a unique nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan that contributes to breast cancer cells growth and functional properties, including cell migration, invasion, adhesion, as well as tumor-associated angiogenesis in different stages of breast cancer progression and especially metastasis. Latest data show that the levels of HA and/or low molecular mass HA in blood serum and plasma of breast cancer patients may be a useful biomarker for breast cancer prognosis, differential diagnosis, and patients' treatment monitoring. Therefore, the qualitative and quantitative determination of HA in biological samples is an emerging area of research. This review gathers, categorizes, and sums up all the currently used methodologies to analyze HA and HA-related enzymes. The advantages, disadvantages, limitations in use, and the information they provide, are critically considered and discussed. Moreover, emphasis is given to the significance of HA determination in breast cancer, as well as of its related enzymes, for diagnosis and prognosis of this type of cancer.

Abstract
Hyaluronidases are a group of enzymes responsible for the degradation of hyaluronan. They seem to be associated with a plethora of pathological conditions, as it has been showcased by numerous studies over the past years. The emerging role of hyaluronidases in various pathological states, especially cancer, is of a great interest. Thus, they are considered as important research targets.In this chapter the popular assay for hyaluronidase analysis in biological fluids is presented and discussed in detail. The assay is divided into two steps; the first is zymography that aims mainly to detect different hyaluronidase enzymes in a biological sample, and the second is the direct quantitative measurement of enzymatic activity by a microtiter plate assay. Both steps are characterized by high sensitivity, simplicity, and limited time consumption.

Abstract
Lotus seeds were identified by the Ministry of Public Health of China as both food and medicine. One general function of lotus seeds is to improve intestinal health. However, to date, studies evaluating the relationship between bioactive compounds in lotus seeds and the physiological activity of the intestine are limited. In the present study, by using medium pressure liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light-scattering detector and diode-array detector, five oligosaccharides were isolated and their structures were further characterized by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In vitro testing determined that LOS3-1 and LOS4 elicited relatively good proliferative effects on Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. These results indicated a structure-function relationship between the physiological activity of oligosaccharides in lotus seeds and the number of probiotics applied, thus providing room for improvement of this particular feature. Intestinal probiotics may potentially become a new effective drug target for the regulation of immunity.
