Physicochemical Characterization, Antioxidant and Anticancer Activity Evaluation of an Acidic Polysaccharide from Alpinia officinarum Hance. Molecules 2024; 29:1810. [PMID: 38675630 PMCID: PMC11052303 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29081810] [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: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
AHP-3a, a triple-helix acidic polysaccharide isolated from Alpinia officinarum Hance, was evaluated for its anticancer and antioxidant activities. The physicochemical properties and structure of AHP-3a were investigated through gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The weight-average molecular weight of AHP-3a was 484 kDa, with the molar percentages of GalA, Gal, Ara, Xyl, Rha, Glc, GlcA, and Fuc being 35.4%, 21.4%, 16.9%, 11.8%, 8.9%, 3.1%, 2.0%, and 0.5%, respectively. Based on the results of the monosaccharide composition analysis, methylation analysis, and NMR spectroscopy, the main chain of AHP-3a was presumed to consist of (1→4)-α-D-GalpA and (1→2)-α-L-Rhap residues, which is a pectic polysaccharide with homogalacturonan (HG) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) structural domains containing side chains. In addition, the results of the antioxidant activity assay revealed that the ability of AHP-3a to scavenge DPPH, ABTS, and OH free radicals increased with an increase in its concentration. Moreover, according to the results from the EdU, wound healing, and Transwell assays, AHP-3a can control the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 and Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells without causing any damage to healthy cells. Thus, AHP-3a may be a natural antioxidant and anticancer component.

The gut-liver axis perspective: Exploring the protective potential of polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola against alcoholic liver disease. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128394.

Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the potential mechanism behind the protective effect of Cistanche deserticola polysaccharides (CP) against alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Multiple chromography techniques were employed to characterize CP from polysaccharide, the molecular weight distribution of polysaccharides, monosaccharide composition, isomeric hydrogen and isomeric carbon, in order to clarify the material basis of CP. To create the ALD mouse model, we utilized the well-established Lieber-DeCarli alcoholic liquid feed method. Findings from the study revealed that CP administration resulted in significant improvements in intestinal permeability, upregulation of barrier proteins expression, and reduced levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in mouse liver and serum. Additionally, CP treatment reduced the presence of inflammatory cytokines both in serum and liver while enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver. Furthermore, CP effectively reduced alcohol-induced oxidative damage by downregulating Keap1 protein levels in the liver, leading to increased expression of Nrf2 protein. The 16S rDNA sequencing results revealed that CP significantly restored the intestinal microbiota composition in ALD mice. These findings establish a strong association between gut microbiota and liver injury indicators, highlighting the potential of CP in preventing and treating ALD by modulating the gut-liver axis.

Isolation, characterization, trypsin inhibition, liver protective and antioxidant activities of arabinoxylan from Massa Medicata Fermentata and its processed products. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127581.

Abstract
Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used in feed additives and human medicine. In this study, two neutral polysaccharides (SMMFP-1 and CMMFP-1) were isolated from two forms of MMF (sheng and chao MMF), and their structural characteristics and bioactivities were studied. The results showed that CMMFP-1 had higher average Mw compared with that of SMMFP-1. SMMFP-1 had a lower proportion of Ara, Xyl, GalA, and GlcA, but higher levels of Fuc, Gal, Man, and GulA. Compared with CMMFP-1, SMMFP-1 had a triple helix structure. SMMFP-1 had a layered structure, whereas CMMFP-1 had a curly layered structure. More glycosidic linkage types were found in SMMFP-1 than in CMMFP-1, and SMMFP-1 had a greater number of side chains. More importantly, SMMFP-1 showed better trypsin inhibition activity in vitro, liver-protective activity in vivo, and stronger antioxidant activity in vivo than CMMFP-1. Thus, arabinoxylans may be one of the active substances for different efficacies between MMF and its processed product. The results of this study facilitate the exploration of the correlation between the structural characteristics and biological functionalities of MMF arabinoxylans. Moreover, a theoretical basis is established for further study of the unique properties of arabinoxylans and their applications.

Abstract
This study aims to develop hydrogels from apple pectin (AP) and hogweed pectin (HP) in multiple ratios (4:0; 3:1; 2:2; 1:3; and 0:4) using ionotropic gelling with calcium gluconate. Rheological and textural analyses, electromyography, a sensory analysis, and the digestibility of the hydrogels were determined. Increasing the HP content in the mixed hydrogel increased its strength. The Young’s modulus and tangent after flow point values were higher for mixed hydrogels than for pure AP and HP hydrogels, suggesting a synergistic effect. The HP hydrogel increased the chewing duration, number of chews, and masticatory muscle activity. Pectin hydrogels received the same likeness scores and differed only in regard to perceived hardness and brittleness. The galacturonic acid was found predominantly in the incubation medium after the digestion of the pure AP hydrogel in simulated intestinal (SIF) and colonic (SCF) fluids. Galacturonic acid was slightly released from HP-containing hydrogels during chewing and treatment with simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and SIF, as well as in significant amounts during SCF treatment. Thus, new food hydrogels with new rheological, textural, and sensory properties can be obtained from a mixture of two low-methyl-esterified pectins (LMPs) with different structures.

Structure-function relationships of pectic polysaccharides from broccoli by-products with in vitro B lymphocyte stimulatory activity. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 303:120432.

Abstract
To study structure-function relationships of pectic polysaccharides with their immunostimulatory activity, broccoli by-products were used. Pectic polysaccharides composed by 64 mol% uronic acids, 18 mol% Ara, and 10 mol% Gal, obtained by hot water extraction, activated B lymphocytes in vitro (25-250 μg/mL). To disclose active structural features, combinations of ethanol and chromatographic fractionation and modification of the polysaccharides were performed. Polysaccharides insoluble in 80 % ethanol (Et80) showed higher immunostimulatory activity than the pristine mixture, which was independent of molecular weight range (12-400 kDa) and removal of terminal or short Ara side chains. Chemical sulfation did not promote B lymphocyte activation. However, the action of pectin methylesterase and endo-polygalacturonase on hot water extracted polysaccharides produced an acidic fraction with a high immunostimulatory activity. The de-esterified homogalacturonan region seem to be an important core to confer pectic polysaccharides immunostimulatory activity. Therefore, agri-food by-products are a source of pectic polysaccharide functional food ingredients.

Abstract
The anticancer activity of pectic polysaccharides (PPs) was proved by numerous studies, and which also indicated that the bioactivity of PPs was closely related to its complicated structures. Based on the summary and analysis about structure characteristics and corresponding enzymatic process of the reported PPs, the anticancer mechanism and related structural features were systematically clarified. It was found that not only the direct effects on the cancer cells by proliferation inhibition or apoptosis, but also the regulation of immune system, gut microbiota and gut metabolism as indirect effects, jointly played important roles in the anticancer of PPs. Nevertheless, during the study of PPs as promising anticancer components, the exact structure-function relationship, digestion process in vivo, and comprehensive action mechanism are still not well understanding. With the unveiling of the proposed issues, it is believed that PPs are promising to be exploited as effective cancer therapy/adjunctive therapy drugs or functional foods.

Abstract
In this study, by NMR spectroscopy, first was proved that the pectic polysaccharides of Abies sibirica are covalently bound to arabinoglucuronoxylan (AGX). Namely, AGX is attached at the 4th position to the 1,2,4-α-L-Rha residues of the RG-I main chain, indicating the following fragment: …→2)-[(2,4-β-D-Xylp)-(1→4)]-[(α-D-GalpA-(1→2)]-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→…. We present direct evidence of covalent attachment between C1 of 1,2,4-β-D-Xylp from arabinoglucuronoxylan and С4 of 1,2,4-α-L-Rhap from RG-I of pectin by detailed 2D NMR analyses. It can be concluded that the 1,2,4-α-L-Rhap residues, were substituted at the 4th position by 1,5-α-L-arabinan or 1,4-β-D-galactan or AGX. The discovery of this interglycosidic linkage between xylan and pectin contradicts the classical model of the cell wall, which describes networks of binding glycans and pectic polysaccharides as separate and independent of one another. We can conclude that pectin undoubtedly plays a more important supporting and cross-linking role in the cell wall than is commonly thought.

Abstract
Polysaccharide ASK was extracted with aqueous KOH from the Abies sibirica foliage. Pectin, xylan, AGPs and xyloglucan were isolated from ASK by anion-exchange chromatography and Smith degradation, combined with enzymatic cleavage. Potential interactions between those polymers were examined. Since xylan, AGPs, RG-I and glucan were co-fractionated following complete removal of galacturonan (HG) with polygalacturonase, it can be inferred that the enzymatic cleavage of HG did not affect co-fractionation of cross-linking glycans, RG-I and AGPs. These were hypothesized to be bound via a covalent cross-link, as the removal of HG regions did not affect this complex. Given that pectin was represented solely by RG-I regions, it can be assumed that some of glucan, xylan and AGPs were associated directly with RG-I. Besides, the enzymatic hydrolysis eliminated most of xylose and rhamnose. This suggests implicitly that some of xylan was linked to RG-I.

Abstract
Polysaccharide ASK was isolated from the Abies sibirica foliage by extraction with an aqueous KOH solution. ASK was shown to contain structurally different polymers such as arabinoglucuronoxylans, xyloglucans, glucomannans, arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs). The pectic polysaccharides were also found in the alkaline extract of ASK and were represented by regions of homogalactorunan and rhamnogalactouronan-I whose side sugar chains were made up chiefly of highly branched 1,5-α-l-arabinan. The potential couplings between those polysaccharides were examined. Our studies showed simultaneous elution of pectin, xyloglucans, arabinoglucuronoxylans and AGPs, indicating that pectins can be covalently bound to the other cell-wall polysaccharides. NMR spectroscopy results revealed that the polysaccharides obtained by ion-exchange chromatography almost had no free reducing ends. These findings corroborate the conclusion that pectin, AGPs, glucan and xylan are bound together. The existence of the covalently bound complex of pectin-xylan-xyloglucan-AGP is suggested herein. Pectin and xylan are hypothesized to be covalently linked through RG-I regions.

Abstract
A low methyl-esterified pectin (33.2% methyl-esterification degree) was isolated from the tuber of Dioscorea opposita Thunb., which was an edible and medicinal material in China. This pectin (Mw of 1.3 × 104 g/mol) contained the ~59.1% homogalacturonan (HG) and ~38.1% highly branched rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) region with possible side chains embracing arabinogalactan II, arabinan or arabinogalactan I. The fragments including HG backbone consisting of → 4)-α-GalpA-(1 → and → 4)-α-GalpA-6-O-methyl-(1 → with molar ratio of ~2:1, and repeating unit of arabinogalactan II side chain composed of α-Araf-(1 → and → 3,6)-β-Galp-(1→, were speculated through methylation analysis and NMR spectra. However, the linkage pattern for RG-I backbone and side chains were indiscernible due to limited resolution of NMR spectra. Besides, the pectin adopted a flexible chain conformation in 0.1 M NaNO3 solution. These results provided a structural basis for study on polysaccharide from D. opposite, which was benefit for development of functional food of yam.

Abstract
Platycodonis Radix is widely used as homology of medicine and food in China; polysaccharides are thought to be one of its functional constituents. In this study, a pectic polysaccharide, PGP-I-I, was obtained from the root of the traditional medicine plant Platycodon grandiflorus through ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. This was characterized being mainly composed of 1,5-α-L-arabinan and both arabinogalactan type I (AG-I) and II chains linked to rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) backbone linked to longer galacturonan chains. In vitro bioactivity study showed that PGP-I-I could restore the intestinal cellular antioxidant defense under the condition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment through promoting the expressions of cellular antioxidant genes and protect against oxidative damages.

Abstract
Structurally different polymers were derived from Picea abies foliage by successive extraction with water (PAW), HCl solution (PAA) and (NH4)2C2O4 solution (PAO). The P. abies foliage was found to contain basically low-methoxyl pectin extractable with an (NH4)2C2O4 solution. PAW was shown to comprise primarily arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs); PAA was composed of mixed AGPs and pectic polysaccharides, with the latter prevailing; and polysaccharide PAO isolated in the highest yield included chiefly pectic polysaccharides. The major constituents of PAO were low-methoxyl and low-acetylated 1,4-α-d-galacturonan and partially acetylated RG-I. The sugar side chains of RG-I contained chiefly highly branched 1,5-α-l-arabinan and arabinogalactan type I as a minor constituent. RG-I whose side chains had 1,5-α-l-arabinan represented short regions alternating with non-acetylated and unmethylesterified galacturonan regions. In addition to pectins, polysaccharide PAO contained AGPs, xylanes and glucomannans, indicating that these polysaccharides are in an intimate interaction.

Abstract
Marsypianthes chamaedrys (Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly used against envenomation by snakebite. Pharmacological studies have shown that extracts of M. chamaedrys have antiophidic, anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties, supporting the ethnopharmacological use. In this study, an aqueous extract of aerial parts of M. chamaedrys showed anticoagulant activity in the activated partial thromboplastin time assay (0.54 IU/mg). The bioassay-guided fractionation using ethanol precipitation and gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and Sephadex G-25 resulted in a water-soluble fraction with increased anticoagulant activity (Fraction F2-A; 2.94 IU/mg). A positive correlation was found between the amount of uronic acids and the anticoagulant potential of the active samples. Chemical and spectroscopic analyses indicated that F2-A contained homogalacturonan, type I rhamnogalacturonan, type II arabinogalactan and α-glucan. UV and FT-IR spectra indicated the possible presence of ferulic acid. Pectic polysaccharides and type II arabinogalactans may be contributing to the anticoagulant activity of the aqueous extract of M. chamaedrys in the APTT assay.

Abstract
A water-soluble acidic polysaccharide containing 3-O-methyl galactose, named YB-PS4, was isolated from the twigs and leaves of Juniperus tibetica Kom. Its structure was characterized by monosaccharide composition analysis, methylation, and NMR spectroscopy. It was concluded that YB-PS4 had a backbone composed of→2,4)-α-Rhap-(1→, →3,5)-α-Araf-(1→, →2,4)-α-Galp-(1 → and →4)-α-GalpA-(1→, with branches of →2)-α-Rhap-(1→,→3)-α-Araf-(1 → and →2)-3-O-Me-α-Galp-(1→. The possible repetitive units were speculated and further analyzed by oligosaccharide analysis. YB-PS4 showed inhibitory effects on complement activation through the classical pathway (CH50 = 94.23 ± 8.90 μg/mL) and alternative pathway (AP50 = 194.76 ± 9.20 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism study indicated that it interacted with C1q, C2, C3, C4 and C5. These studies pointed a way to understand the active constituents of J. tibetica and provided scientific bases for YB-PS4 as a complement inhibitor.

Abstract
Polysaccharides were extracted from sweet pepper (Capsicum annum) with hot water and named ANW (9% yield). Starch was precipitated by freeze-thaw treatment, while pectic polysaccharides (8% yield) remained soluble and consisted of GalA (67.0%), Rha (1.6%), Ara (6.4%), Xyl (0.3%), Gal (6.7%) and Glc (4.4%). A highly methoxylated homogalacturonan (HG, degree of methylesterification of 85% and degree of acetylation of 5%), and type I and type II arabinogalactans (AG-I and AG-II) were observed in NMR analyses. These were fractionated with Fehling's solution to give HG (5.5% yield) and AG fractions (0.6% yield). AG-I and AG-II were further separated by ultrafiltration. AG-II (0.2% yield) consisted of Ara (17.1%), Gal (36.0%), Rha (5.6%) and GalA (12.0%), had a molecular weight of 5.3×104g/mol and methylation and 1H/13C HSQC-DEPT-NMR analyses showed that it was anchored in type I rhamnogalacturonan. This is the first study that reports the presence of AG-I and AG-II in sweet pepper fruits.
