Abstract
Probiotics have been considered a promising option for mitigating the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Here, Latilactobacillus sakei QC9 (L. sakei QC9) with a hypoglycemic effect was screened out from 30 food-derived strains through α-glucosidase and α-amylase activity inhibition tests in vitro and a 4-week in vivo preliminary animal experiment. To further understand its alleviating effect on long-term hyperglycaemia occurring in T2DM, we conducted an experiment that lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed that taking L. sakei QC9 can regulate glucose and lipid metabolism while improving the antioxidant capacity and alleviating chronic inflammation. In addition, our results demonstrated that L. sakei QC9 may mediate the microbiota-gut-liver axis by regulating the composition of intestinal flora (increasing the abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria) and increasing the content of short-chain fatty acids (especially butyrate), affecting the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway in the liver, thereby achieving the purpose of alleviating the development of T2DM. In summary, our work is the first to prove the long-term hypoglycemic effect of L. sakei in high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T2DM mice and supports the possibility of L. sakei QC9 being used as a new treatment for alleviating T2DM.

Jen CI, Ng LT. Physicochemical Properties of Different Sulfated Polysaccharide Components from Laetiporus sulphureus and Their Anti-Proliferative Effects on MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells. J Fungi (Basel) 2024; 10:457. [PMID: 39057342 PMCID: PMC11278346 DOI: 10.3390/jof10070457] [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: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Laetiporus sulphureus is an edible and medicinal mushroom widely used in folk medicine for treating cancer and gastric diseases. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of different sulfated polysaccharide (SPS) components (F1, F2, and F3) isolated from L. sulphureus and evaluate their activity against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell proliferation. Compared with F1 and F3, the results showed that F2 exhibited the most potent anti-proliferative activity on MDA-MB-231 cells, which could be attributed to the sulfate and protein contents, molecular weight, and monosaccharide composition. F2 inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation by blocking the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase but not triggering cell apoptosis. In addition, F2 also showed selective cytotoxicity on breast cancer cells. It modulated the expression of proteins involved in G0/G1 phase progression, cell cycle checkpoints, DNA replication, and the TGFβ signaling pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells. This study demonstrated that F2, the medium-molecular-weight SPS component of L. sulphureus, possessed the most potent inhibitory effect on MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase. The main factors contributing to the differences in the potency of anti-breast cancer activity between F1, F2, and F3 could be the sulfate and protein contents, molecular weight, and monosaccharide composition of SPS.

Development of Biological Coating from Novel Halophilic Exopolysaccharide Exerting Shelf-Life-Prolonging and Biocontrol Actions for Post-Harvest Applications. Molecules 2024; 29:695. [PMID: 38338439 PMCID: PMC10856335 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The literature presents the preserving effect of biological coatings developed from various microbial sources. However, the presented work exhibits its uniqueness in the utilization of halophilic exopolysaccharides as food coating material. Moreover, such extremophilic exopolysaccharides are more stable and economical production is possible. Consequently, the aim of the presented research was to develop a coating material from marine exopolysaccharide (EPS). The significant EPS producers having antagonistic attributes against selected phytopathogens were screened from different marine water and soil samples. TSIS01 isolate revealed the maximum antagonism well and EPS production was selected further and characterized as Bacillus tequilensis MS01 by 16S rRNA analysis. EPS production was optimized and deproteinized EPS was assessed for biophysical properties. High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) analysis revealed that EPS was a heteropolymer of glucose, galactose, mannose, and glucuronic acid. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-visible spectra validated the presence of determined sugars. It showed high stability at a wide range of temperatures, pH and incubation time, ≈1.63 × 106 Da molecular weight, intermediate solubility index (48.2 ± 3.12%), low water holding capacity (12.4 ± 1.93%), and pseudoplastic rheologic shear-thinning comparable to xanthan gum. It revealed antimicrobial potential against human pathogens and antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory potential. The biocontrol assay of EPS against phytopathogens revealed the highest activity against Alternaria solani. The EPS-coated and control tomato fruits were treated with A. solani suspension to check the % disease incidence, which revealed a significant (p < 0.001) decline compared to uncoated controls. Moreover, it revealed shelf-life prolonging action on tomatoes comparable to xanthan gum and higher than chitosan. Consequently, the presented marine EPS was elucidated as a potent coating material to mitigate post-harvest losses.

Abstract
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are high molecular weight polymeric substances with great diversity and variety of applications in the food and pharma industry. In this study, we report the extraction of an EPS from Enterococcus hirae OL616073 strain originally isolated from Indian fermented food and its purification by ion exchange and size exclusion chromatography for physical-functional analyses. The EPS showed two prominent fractions (EPS F1 and EPS F2) with molecular mass 7.7 × 104 and 6.5 × 104 Da respectively by gel permeation chromatography. These fractions were further characterized by FTIR, HPTLC, GC-MS, and NMR as a homopolysaccharide of glucose linked with α-(1 → 6) and α-(1 → 3) glycosidic linkages. The porous, spongy, granular morphology of EPS was observed under scanning electron microscopy. EPS has revealed strong physico-functional properties like water solubility index (76.75 %), water contact angle (65.74°), water activity (0.35), hygroscopicity (3.05 %), water holding capacity (296.19 %), oil holding capacity (379.91 %), foaming capacity (19.58 %), and emulsifying activity (EA1-72.22 %). Rheological analysis showed that aqueous solution of EPS exhibited a non-Newtonian fluid behavior and shear-thinning characteristics. Overall, EPS exhibits techno functional properties with potential applications as a functional biopolymer in food and pharma industry.

Abstract
Naturally occurring biopolymers like exopolysaccharides (EPS) secreted by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has gained significant attention as they are cost effective, renewable and safe. In order to prevent the rapid increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria, the EPS of LAB offers novel approach of targeting the antibiotic resistant pathogens by limiting their effects on environment. Accordingly, in this study, the production, purification, characterization and biological properties of exopolysaccharides from Lactococcus hircilactis strain CH4 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii strain GRIPUMSK were performed. The optimization of lactic acid bacterial strains for exopolysaccharide production was done by response surface methodology and changing the carbon sources in the growth media. The carbohydrate and protein of exopolysaccharide 1 were 79.7 % and 8.7 % respectively and exopolysaccharide 2 were 75.2 % and 9.3 % respectively. When compared with the commercial emulsifier sodium dodecyl sulfate, both the exopolysaccharides have shown good emulsifying activity. Both the exopolysaccharides were linear homo-polysaccharide as determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the exopolysaccharides were porous and capable of holding water. The exopolysaccharides were partially crystalline as confirmed by X-ray diffraction spectra. Exopolysaccharides from L. hircilactis and L. delbrueckii exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against H. pylori, S. flexneri, S. pyogenes, E. faecalis and C. albicans. Both the exopolysaccharides revealed significant 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability with the IC50 value of 100 μg/ml and 80 μg/ml respectively. Exopolysaccharides from L. hircilactis and L. delbrueckii at 100 μg/ml showed significant anticancer activity on HT-29 cells with 58.4 % and 58.7 % respectively. These findings proved that exopolysaccharides from the two selected lactic acid bacterial strains could be explored as natural bioactive carbohydrate polymer for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are produced by probiotic bacteria Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PRK7 and L. plantarum PRK11. The structure of EPS-7 and EPS-11 was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Further, in in vitro studies antioxidant, emulsion, and antibiofilm activity were investigated. The FTIR spectrum confirmed the presence of polysaccharides in EPS-7 and EPS-11, with absorbance at 1654.93 and 1655.33 cm-1, respectively. H1 NMR further confirmed the presence of glucose, galactose, xylose, and mannose. Sugar derivatives in EPS-7 and EPS-11 were further confirmed with GCMS. The SEM analysis revealed that EPS-7 had a weblike structure and EPS-11 had a smooth porous layer. The result of the TGA revealed that EPS-7 and EPS-11 had greater thermal stability at 319.1 and 300.1 °C, respectively. Furthermore, EPS-7 and EPS-11 showed a good percentage of free radical scavenging in DPPH (89.77 % and 93.1 %), ABTS (57.65 % and 58.63 %), hydroxyl radical scavenging (44.46 % and 40.308 %), and reducing power assay. The emulsion activity was confirmed with edible oils such as coconut oil, sesame oil, almond oil, castor oil, and neem oil. The highest emulsion activity for EPS-7 and EPS-11 was found be with coconut and castor oil. In addition, the antibiofilm activity against pathogens revealed that EPS possess can prevent biofilm formation. Thus, it was found that EPS-7 and EPS-11 possess good structural characteristics and their biological activity makes them ideal for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
The intestinal barrier protects the host from harmful substances. This paper investigated two polysaccharides extracted from the Hericium erinaceus before and after fermentation (HEP and FHEP). The effects of two polysaccharides on the intestinal barrier were investigated in cell and mice models. The results showed that polysaccharides had a protective effect against acrylamide-induced injury in IEC-6 cell. Compared with HEP, FHEP significantly increased TEER and paracellular permeability (P < 0.05). Both polysaccharides the expression of alter tight junction (TJ) and mucin (MUC) as observed in cell Western Bolt (WB). Polysaccharides also enhance the intestinal barrier function in mice by improving cyclophosphamide induced cytokines level, TJ and MUC expression, and gut microbiota. The results showed that FHEP significantly increased IgA, IgG, and IgM levels while decreasing TNF-, IL-1, and IL-6 levels (P < 0.05). The immunohistochemical results showed that both polysaccharides significantly increased the expression of occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2, claudin-3, claudin-4, MUC2 and decreased claudin-2. In parallel, polysaccharides could alter the composition of the gut microbiota, indicating that increased in Bacteriodetes, Firmicutes and decreased in Klebsiella and Shigella. This work provides important views on the protective effect of fermented polysaccharides on the intestinal barrier, and provides a potential mechanism for the beneficial health properties of these biomacromolecules.

Physicochemical and rheological characterizations of a novel exopolysaccharide EPSKar1 and its iron complex EPSKar1-Fe: Towards potential iron-fortification applications. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100478. [PMID: 36935848 PMCID: PMC10017363 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100478] [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: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Iron is a micronutrient essential for human health and physiology. Iron-deficiency anemia, the most common form of anemia, may occur from an iron homeostasis imbalance. Iron fortification is a promising and most sustainable and affordable solution to tackle the global prevalence of this anemia. Herein, we investigate physicochemical, rheological and stability characteristics of a novel exopolysaccharide 'EPSKar1' (derived from Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus strain Kar1) and its iron complex 'EPSKar1-Fe (II)'. Our findings demonstrate that EPSKar1 is a high molecular-weight (7.8 × 105 Da) branched-chain heteropolysaccharide composed of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and mannose in a molar ratio of 8:4:1, respectively, and exhibits strong emulsifying and water-holding capacities. We find that EPSKar1 forms strong complexes with Fe, wherein the interactions between EPSKar1-Fe (II) complexes are mediated by sulfate, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups. The rheological analyses reveal that the EPSKar1 and EPSKar1-Fe (II) complexes exhibited shear thickening and thinning properties in skim milk and water, respectively; however, the suspension of EPSKar1 in skim milk is viscoelastic with predominantly elastic response (G'>G" and tan δ < 1). In comparison, EPSKar1-Fe (II) complex exhibits remarkable stability under various processing conditions, highlighting its usefulness for the development of fortified dairy products. Together, these findings underpin considerable prospects of EPSKar1-Fe (II) complex as a novel iron-fortifier possessing multifarious rheological benefits for food applications.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides produced by edible microorganisms exhibit excellent constructive physicochemical and significant biological activity, which provide advantages for the food or pharmaceutical industries. Two novel exopolysaccharides produced by Debaryomyces hansenii DH-1 were characterized, named S1 and S2, respectively. S1, with a molecular weight of 34.594 kDa, primarily consisted of mannose and glucose in a molar ratio of 12.19:1.00, which contained a backbone fragment of α-D-Manp-(1→4)-α-D-Manp-(1→2)-α-D-Glcp-(1→3)-α-D-Manp-(1→3)-β-D-Glcp-(1→4)-β-D-Manp-(1→. S2, with a molecular weight of 24.657 kDa, was mainly composed of mannose and galactose in a molar ratio of 4.00:1.00, which had a backbone fragment of α-D-Manp-(1→6)-β-D-Manp-(1→2)-α-D-Manp-(1→4)-α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Manp-(1→6)-α-D-Manp-(1→. Both S1 and S2 exhibited good thermal stability and potent hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, with ~98%. Moreover, S1 possessed an additional strong iron-reducing capacity. In vitro antitumor assays showed that S1 and S2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of Hela, HepG2, and PC-9 cancer cells. Moreover, PC-9 was more sensitive to S1 compared with S2. The above results indicate that S1 and S2 have great potential to be utilized as natural antioxidants and candidates for cancer treatment in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Taking lactic acid bacteria is an important strategy to alleviate or prevent diabetes, but the candidate strains with good genetic stability and excellent functions still need to be supplemented. In this study, the hypoglycemic ability (α-amylase, α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase 4), probiotic property and antioxidant activity of lactic acid bacteria were comprehensively evaluated by a principal component analysis (PCA) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that Lactobacillus paracasei(L. paracasei) had a higher survival rate (82.78%) in gastric juice and good tolerance to bile salt, and can be colonized in HT-29 cells. L. paracasei had a remarkable inhibitive activity of α-amylase (82.21%), α-glucosidase (84.29%) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (42.51%). L. paracasei had better scavenging activity of free radicals, total antioxidant activity (FRAP) and superoxide dismutase activity. According to the scores of the PCA, L. paracasei had the best hypoglycemic ability, and Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) had the highest probiotic property. According to AHP, L. paracasei was the best potential hypoglycemic probiotic; furthermore, L. lactis showed the highest comprehensive performance except Lactobacillus. All lactic acid bacteria in this test had good safety. L. paracasei is expected to become a new potential hypoglycemic strain.

Structural characterization and immunomodulatory effects of extracellular polysaccharide from Lactobacillus paracasei VL8 obtained by gradient ethanol precipitation. J Food Sci 2022; 87:2034-2047.

Abstract
In this study, gradient ethanol precipitation method was applied to obtain the extracellular polysaccharides of Lactobacillus paracasei VL8 (VL8-EPS). The yields, physicochemical properties, and immunomodulatory effects of VL8-EPS obtained by precipitation at different ethanol concentrations (30%, 50%, and 70%, v/v) were compared. The results showed that VL8-EPSs were high molecular weight sulfated heteropolysaccharides, composed mainly of glucose and galactose, and the alteration of ethanol concentration had an effect on their chemical compositions, molecular weight distributions, monosaccharide composition, and surface structure, while the primary structure remained the same. Among the three polysaccharide fractions, VL8-EPS50 displayed better immunomodulatory activities compared with VL8-EPS30 and VL8-EPS70. VL8-EPS50 was found to exert immunomodulatory effects by enhancing the phagocytic activity of RAW264.7 cells and to promote their secretion of more nitric oxide; it also showed stronger thermal and solution stability. In summary, there was a correlation between the structural characteristics of polysaccharides and their immunomodulatory activity, and VL8-EPS50 was preferentially used for in vivo immunomodulatory activity. Practical Application This study opens up the source of raw materials for functional foods, which can provide some theoretical basis for the research and development of extracellular polysaccharides of lactic acid bacteria and promote their application in the future development of food industry.

Extraction of the Bacterial Extracellular Polysaccharide FucoPol by Membrane-Based Methods: Efficiency and Impact on Biopolymer Properties. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14030390.

Abstract
In this study, membrane-based methods were evaluated for the recovery of FucoPol, the fucose-rich exopolysaccharide (EPS) secreted by the bacterium Enterobacter A47, aiming at reducing the total water consumption and extraction time, while keeping a high product recovery, thus making the downstream procedure more sustainable and cost-effective. The optimized method involved ultrafiltration of the cell-free supernatant using a 30 kDa molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) membrane that allowed for a 37% reduction of the total water consumption and a 55% reduction of the extraction time, compared to the previously used method (diafiltration-ultrafiltration with a 100 kDa MWCO membrane). This change in the downstream procedure improved the product’s recovery (around 10% increase) and its purity, evidenced by the lower protein (8.2 wt%) and inorganic salts (4.0 wt%) contents of the samples (compared to 9.3 and 8.6 wt%, respectively, for the previously used method), without impacting FucoPol’s sugar and acyl groups composition, molecular mass distribution or thermal degradation profile. The biopolymer’s emulsion-forming and stabilizing capacity was also not affected (emulsification activity (EA) with olive oil, at a 2:3 ratio, of 98 ± 0% for all samples), while the rheological properties were improved (the zero-shear viscosity increased from 8.89 ± 0.62 Pa·s to 17.40 ± 0.04 Pa·s), which can be assigned to the higher purity degree of the extracted samples. These findings demonstrate a significant improvement in the downstream procedure raising FucoPol’s recovery, while reducing water consumption and operation time, key criteria in terms of process economic and environmental sustainability. Moreover, those changes improved the biopolymer’s rheological properties, known to significantly impact FucoPol’s utilization in cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food products.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is considered to be an effective texture improver. The effect of LAB strains (different EPS production capacity) on physicochemical properties (texture profile, water distribution, rheological properties, and microstructure), protein conformation, and chemical forces of soybean protein gel was investigated. Correlations between EPS yield and gel properties were established. Large masses of EPS were isolated from L. casei fermentation gel (L. casei-G, 677.01 ± 19.82 mg/kg). Gel with the highest hardness (319.74 ± 9.98 g) and water holding capacity (WHC, 87.74 ± 2.00%) was also formed with L. casei. The conversion of β-sheet to α-helix, the increased hydrophobic interaction and ionic bond helped to form an ordered gel network. The yield was positively correlated with hardness, WHC, A22, viscoelasticity, and viscosity, but negatively correlated with A23 (p < 0.05). The macromolecular properties of EPS (especially the yield) and its incompatibility with proteins could be explained as the main reason for improving gel properties. In conclusion, the EPS producing LAB, especially L. casei used in our study, is the best ordinary coagulate replacement in soybean-based products.

Anti-Cancer Properties of Coix Seed Oil against HT-29 Colon Cells through Regulation of the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway. Foods 2021; 10:foods10112833. [PMID: 34829119 PMCID: PMC8621869 DOI: 10.3390/foods10112833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to observe the effects of coix seed oil (CSO) on HT-29 cells and investigate its possible regulation mechanism of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Fatty acid analysis showed that coix seed oil mainly contains oleic acid (50.54%), linoleic acid (33.76%), palmitic acid (11.74%), and stearic acid (2.45%). Fourier transform infrared results found that the fatty acid functional groups present in the oil matched well with the vegetable oil band. The results from CCK-8 assays showed that CSO dose-dependently and time-dependently inhibited the viability of HT-29 cells in vitro. CSO inhibited cell viability, with IC50 values of 5.30 mg/mL for HT-29 obtained after 24 h treatment. Morphological changes were observed by apoptotic body/cell nucleus DNA (Hoechst 33258) staining using inverted and fluorescence microscopy. Moreover, flow cytometry analysis was used to evaluate the cell cycle and cell apoptosis. It showed that CSO induced cell apoptosis and cycle arrest in the G2 phase. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting revealed that CSO induced cell apoptosis by downregulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Additionally, CSO can cause apoptosis in cancer cells by activating caspase-3, up-regulating Bax, and down-regulating Bcl-2. In conclusion, the results revealed that CSO induced G2 arrest and apoptosis of HT-29 cells by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
