Proteomics Analysis of the Protective Effect of Polydeoxyribonucleotide Extracted from Sea Cucumber ( Apostichopus japonicus) Sperm in a Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced RAW264.7 Cell Injury Model. Mar Drugs 2024; 22:325. [PMID: 39057434 PMCID: PMC11277713 DOI: 10.3390/md22070325] [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: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Sea cucumber viscera contain various naturally occurring active substances, but they are often underutilized during sea cucumber processing. Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is an adenosine A2A receptor agonist that activates the A2A receptor to produce various biological effects. Currently, most studies on the activity of PDRN have focused on its anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and tissue repair properties, yet relatively few studies have investigated its antioxidant activity. In this study, we reported for the first time that PDRN was extracted from the sperm of Apostichopus japonicus (AJS-PDRN), and we evaluated its antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. An in vitro injury model was established using H2O2-induced oxidative damage in RAW264.7 cells, and we investigated the protective effect of AJS-PDRN on these cells. Additionally, we explored the potential mechanism by which AJS-PDRN protects RAW264.7 cells from damage using iTRAQ proteomics analysis. The results showed that AJS-PDRN possessed excellent antioxidant activity and could significantly scavenge DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radicals. In vitro antioxidant assays demonstrated that AJS-PDRN was cytoprotective and significantly enhanced the antioxidant capacity of RAW264.7 cells. The results of GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis indicate that the protective effects of AJS-PDRN pretreatment on RAW264.7 cells are primarily achieved through the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, modulation of the extracellular matrix and signal transduction pathways, promotion of membrane repair, and enhancement of cellular antioxidant capacity. The results of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis indicate that AJS-PDRN reduces cellular oxidative damage by upregulating the expression of intracellular selenoprotein family members. In summary, our findings reveal that AJS-PDRN mitigates H2O2-induced oxidative damage through multiple pathways, underscoring its significant potential in the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by oxidative stress.

Abstract
In this study, Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPs) were extracted by ultrasound-assisted enzymatic extraction (UAE) at different extraction parameters in order to explore the potential of ultrasound in intensifying the extraction yield. The effects of experimental conditions on the extraction yields were optimized using response surface methodology, with the optimal ultrasonic power of 700 W, temperature of 45 °C and time of 50 min. The kinetic analysis revealed that UAE significantly promoted the dissolution, diffusion and migration with the maximum yield of 26.39%, which was enhanced by 40.45% and 156.96% compared with individual ultrasonic extraction (UE) and enzymatic extraction (EE). According to the modified Fick's second law of diffusion, the extraction process of TFPs illustrated a good linear correlation (R2 ≥ 0.9), and the rate constant gradually elevated as the temperature increased from 25 to 45 °C, while the presence of ultrasound exerted a vital role in extracting TFPs. Regarding to the thermodynamic results, the positive values of ΔH and ΔG demonstrated that UAE, UE and EE were endothermic and unspontaneous processes. This study provides a theoretical basis for polysaccharide extraction processing.

Steam Explosion-Assisted Extraction of Polysaccharides from Pleurotus eryngii and Its Influence on Structural Characteristics and Antioxidant Activity. Foods 2024; 13:1229.

Abstract
Pleurotus eryngii (PE) has been sought after for its various health benefits and high content of phenolic compounds. This study explored the feasibility of steam explosion (SE)-assisted extraction of polysaccharides with high antioxidant capacities from PE. An orthogonal experimental design (OED) was used to optimize the SE-assisted extraction of PE. The influence of the optimized SE-assisted extraction on the physicochemical properties of PE polysaccharides was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), monosaccharide compositional analysis and antioxidant capacity assays. Under optimal SE conditions, SE-assisted extraction increased the polysaccharide yield by 138% compared to extraction without SE-assistance. In addition, SEM demonstrated that SE-assisted extraction markedly altered the spatial structure of Pleurotus eryngii polysaccharides (PEP), and monosaccharide compositional analysis revealed that this pretreatment significantly increased the proportions of some monosaccharides, such as glucose, rhamnose and arabinose, in the isolated PEP. FTIR spectra indicated no change in the major chemical functional groups of PEP. PEP extracted by SE-assisted extraction had significantly increased free radical scavenging and antioxidant capacities. In conclusion, SE-assisted extraction appears to be a novel polysaccharide extraction technology, which markedly increases extraction yields and efficiency and can increase the biological activity of polysaccharide extracts.

The effect of sequential extraction on the physicochemical and rheological properties of Naematelia aurantialba polysaccharides. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130777. [PMID: 38479671 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130777] [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: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
To overcome the difficulty of separation and low rate of extraction caused by highly viscous polysaccharides from Naematelia aurantialba (NA), four N. aurantialba polysaccharides (NAPs) were sequentially extracted using water (enzyme-/ultrasound-assisted extraction), alkali (0.1 mol/L NaOH), and acid (0.1 mol/L HCl), and named E-NAP, U-NAP, Al-NAP, and Ac-NAP. The properties of four NAPs were different. The yields of NAPs were 26.05 % (Ac-NAP) > 20.33 % (Al-NAP) > 17.99 % (U-NAP) > 12.77 % (E-NAP), respectively. The monosaccharide composition of NAPs was composed primarily of mannose, xylose, glucose, glucuronic acid, and galactose. Sequential extraction improved the purity and solubility of NAPs, but decreased the particle size, thermal stability, water retention, and crystallinity. Two polysaccharides, U-NAP and Al-NAP, had a triple helix structure. All the NAPs were pseudoplastic fluids with concentration/frequency-dependent entangled structure. Al-NAP with the highest viscosity exhibited an elastic gel, while Ac-NAP with the lowest viscosity was a viscous gel. The behavior of NAPs differed from that predicted using the Cox-Merz rule, and in particular, E-NAP and U-NAP more significantly deviated from the rule. In this study, four NAPs with different properties were extracted sequentially, which provided a theoretical basis for the down-stream processing with high added-value and utilization of NA and NAP.

Study on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide under controllable ultrasonic degradation based on artificial neural network. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129382.

Abstract
The polysaccharide fraction (FVP2) with molecular weight of 1525.09 kDa and intrinsic viscosity of 3.43 dL/g was isolated and purified from Flammulina velutipes (F. velutipes), and the ultrasonic degradation model of FVP2 was established to predict the molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity at the same time based on artificial neural network. FVP2U1 (1149.11 kDa, 1.78 dL/g), FVP2U2 (618.91 kDa, 1.19 dL/g) and FVP2U3 (597.35 kDa, 0.48 dL/g) with different molecular weights or viscosity were produced by this model to explore the effect of ultrasound on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of FVP2. The results showed that ultrasonic treatment did not change the types of characteristic functional groups, monosaccharide composition and glycosidic bond of FVP2, but changed the chemical composition ratio and the degree of polymerization. Under ultrasonic treatment, the intrinsic viscosity of FVP2 still decreased significantly when the molecular weight did not decrease. Compared to other components subjected to ultrasonic degradation, FVP2U1 demonstrated higher molecular weight and viscoelasticity, while exhibiting lower antioxidant activity. In the case of no significant difference in molecular weight and monosaccharide composition, FVP2U3 with lower intrinsic viscosity has stronger hydration ability, higher crystallization index, lower viscoelasticity and stronger antioxidant capacity than FVP2U2.

Abstract
Co-culture fermentation is a novel technology for enhancing fermentation quality and promoting gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) yield. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Levilactobacillus brevis YSJ3 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JLSC2-6 co-culture on GABA yield, volatile and non-volatile metabolite profiles, and antioxidant activity in cauliflower byproducts. It was found that co-culture had the highest GABA yield (35.00 ± 1.15 mg/L) in fermented cauliflower stems. In total, 111 and 1264 volatile and non-volatile metabolites, respectively, were identified, of which 59 metabolites were significantly upregulated after co-culture fermentation. The results showed that 24 key upregulated metabolites were positively associated with hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity. Notably, Levilactobacills were positively correlated with the yield of GABA and key upregulated metabolites. Thus, these results suggest that Levilactobacillus brevis and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum can improve in key metabolites, GABA yield, and antioxidant activity following co-culture. This study provide a theoretical basis for developing GABA-rich cauliflower byproducts.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are biomolecules found in microorganisms, plants, and animals that constitute living organisms. Glycosaminoglycans, unique acidic polysaccharides in animal connective tissue, are often combined with proteins in the form of covalent bonds due to their potent biological activity, low toxicity, and minimal side effects, which have the potential to be utilized as nutrition healthcare and dietary supplements. Existing studies have demonstrated that the bioactivity of polysaccharides is closely dependent on their structure and chain conformation. The characteristic functional groups and primary structure directly determine the strength of activity. However, the relationship between structure and function is still unclear, and the target and mechanism of action are not fully understood, resulting in limited clinical applications. As a result, the clinical applications of these polysaccharides are currently limited. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the extraction methods, structures, and biological activities of animal-derived polysaccharides that have been discovered so far. The aim is to promote developments in animal active polysaccharide science and provide theoretical support for exploring other unknown natural products.

Abstract
Sea cucumbers contain a wide range of biomolecules, including sulfated polysaccharides (SPs), with immense therapeutic and nutraceutical potential. SPs in sea cucumbers are mainly fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FCS) and fucan sulfate (FS) which exhibit a series of pharmacological effects, including anticoagulant activity, in several biological systems. FCS is a structurally distinct glycosaminoglycan in the sea cucumber body wall, and its biological properties mainly depend on the degree of sulfation, position of sulfate group, molecular weight, and distribution of branches along the backbone. So far, FCS and FS have been recognized for their antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-obesity, and antioxidant potential. However, the functions of these SPs are mainly dependent on the species, origins, harvesting season, and extraction methods applied. This review focuses on the SPs of sea cucumbers and how their structural diversities affect various biological activities. In addition, the mechanism of actions of SPs, chemical structures, factors affecting their bioactivities, and their extraction methods are also discussed.

[PMID: 37780304 PMCID: PMC10534144 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Poria cocos peel residue (PCPR) still contains much soluble dietary fiber (SDF), steam explosion (SE) treatment was applied to PCPR to create a superior SDF. Steam pressure of 1.2 MPa, residence period of 120 s, and moisture content of 13% were the optimized parameters for SE treatment of PCPR. Under optimized circumstances, SE treatment of PCPR enhanced its SDF yield from 5.24% to 23.86%. Compared to the original SDF, the SE-treated SDF displayed improved enzyme inhibition, including the inhibition of α-amylase and pancreatic lipase, also enhanced water holding, oil holding, water swelling, nutrient adsorption including cholesterol, nitrite ions, and glucose and antioxidant abilities. Additionally, it had a decreased molecular weight, improved thermal stability, and a rough surface with many pores of different sizes. Given that SDF had been improved physiochemical and functional characteristics thanks to SE treatment, it might be the excellent functional ingredient for the food business.

Comparison in structural, physicochemical and functional properties of sweet potato stems and leaves polysaccharide conjugates from different technologies. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125730. [PMID: 37422248 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
In order to better understand the influences of extraction techniques on the yield, characteristics, and bioactivities of polysaccharide conjugates, hot reflux extraction (HRE), ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), complex enzymolysis extraction (CEE), ultra-high pressure extraction (UPE), ultrasonic complex enzymes extraction (UEE) were used to extract sweet potato stems leaves polysaccharide conjugates (SPSPCs), and their physicochemical characteristics, functional properties, antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities were compared. Results showed that compared with HRE conjugate (HR-SPSPC), the yield, content of uronic acid (UAC), total phenol (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC) and sulfate group (SGC), water solubility (WS), percentage of glucuronic acid (GlcA), galacuronic acid (GalA) and galactose (Gal), antioxidant and hypoglycemia activities of UEE polysaccharide conjugates (UE-SPSPC) significant increased, while its molecular weight (Mw), degree of esterification (DE), content of protein (PC) and percentage of glucose (Glc) declined, but monosaccharides and amino acid types, and glycosyl linkages were not much different. Indeed, UE-SPSPC possessed the highest antioxidant activities and hypolipidemic activities among six SPSPCs, which might be due to the high UAC, TPC, TFC, SGC, GlcA, GalA and WS, low Mw, DE and Glc of UE-SPSPC. The results reveal that UEE is an effective extraction and modification technology of polysaccharide conjugates.

The Structural Characteristics and Bioactivity Stability of Cucumaria frondosa Intestines and Ovum Hydrolysates Obtained by Different Proteases. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:395. [PMID: 37504926 PMCID: PMC10381244 DOI: 10.3390/md21070395] [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: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effects of alcalase, papain, flavourzyme, and neutrase on the structural characteristics and bioactivity stability of Cucumaria frondosa intestines and ovum hydrolysates (CFHs). The findings revealed that flavourzyme exhibited the highest hydrolysis rate (51.88% ± 1.87%). At pH 2.0, the solubility of hydrolysate was the lowest across all treatments, while the solubility at other pH levels was over 60%. The primary structures of hydrolysates of different proteases were similar, whereas the surface hydrophobicity of hydrolysates was influenced by the types of proteases used. The hydrolysates produced by different proteases were also analyzed for their absorption peaks and antioxidant activity. The hydrolysates of flavourzyme had β-fold absorption peaks (1637 cm-1), while the neutrase and papain hydrolysates had N-H bending vibrations. The tertiary structure of CFHs was unfolded by different proteases, exposing the aromatic amino acids and red-shifting of the λ-peak of the hydrolysate. The alcalase hydrolysates showed better antioxidant activity in vitro and better surface hydrophobicity than the other hydrolysates. The flavourzyme hydrolysates displayed excellent antioxidant stability and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity during gastrointestinal digestion, indicating their potential use as antioxidants in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
In this study, the influences of Lactobacillus plantarum JHT78 fermentation on the physiological properties, antioxidant activities, and volatile/non-volatile metabolites of watermelon juices were comprehensively investigated. The results indicated that total polyphenols flavonoids and anthocyanin in the watermelon juices remarkably increased through L. plantarum JHT78 fermentation. L. plantarum JHT78 fermentation enhanced the antioxidant activities, lipase inhibition, and α-glucosidase activities of watermelon juices. A total of 62 volatile compounds were detected using HS-SPME-GC-MS, mainly including 11 acids, 8 aldehydes, 7 ketones, and 7 alcohols. The abundance of 19 volatile compounds especially for acids remarkably increased for the fermentated watermelon juice. Furthermore, non-volatile compounds detected by UHPLC-QTOF-MS revealed that L. plantarum JHT78 significantly altered the non-volatile compounds of watermelon juices, especially increased indole-3-lactic acid. The results confirmed that L. plantarum JHT78 enhanced the functionality of watermelon juices thus providing a theoretical basis for the development of LAB on plant-based beverages.

Abstract
Traditional processing methods can no longer meet the demands of consumers for high-quality muscle food. As a green and non-thermal processing technology, ultrasound has the advantage of improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Of these, the positive effect of power ultrasound in the processing of muscle foods is noticeable. Based on the action mechanism of ultrasound, the factors affecting the action of ultrasound are analyzed. On this basis, the effect of ultrasound technology on muscle food quality and its action mechanism and application status in processing operations (freezing-thawing, tenderization, marination, sterilization, drying, and extraction) is discussed. The transient and steady-state effects, mechanical effects, thermal effects, and chemical effects can have an impact on processing operations through complex correlations, such as improving the efficiency of mass and heat transfer. Ultrasound technology has been proven to be valuable in muscle food processing, but inappropriate ultrasound treatment can also have adverse effects on muscle foods. In the future, kinetic models are expected to be an effective tool for investigating the application effects of ultrasound in food processing. Additionally, the combination with other processing technologies can facilitate their intensive application on an industrial level to overcome the disadvantages of using ultrasound technology alone.

Abstract
This investigation focuses on the three novel polysaccharides from Cordyceps militaris and then discusses their characterization and anti-complementary activity. The three polysaccharides from C. militaris (CMP-1, CMP-2 and CMP-3) were prepared using a DEAE-52 cellulose column. The HPLC, HPGPC, FT-IR and Congo red analyses were used to characterize their monosaccharides, molecular weight and stereo conformation, which demonstrated that the three polysaccharides were homogenous polysaccharides with different molecular weights and were composed of at least ten monosaccharides with different molar ratios, and all had a triple-helix conformation. The evaluation of anti-complementary activity demonstrated that the three polysaccharides significantly inhibited complement activation through the classical pathway and alternative pathway. Preliminary mechanism studies indicated that CMP-1, CMP-2 and CMP-3 acted with C2, C5, C9, factor B, factor B, and P components in the overactivation cascade of the complement system. The analysis of the Pearson correlation and network confirmed that the ribose, glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid composition were negatively correlated with the anti-complementary activity of polysaccharides. These results suggested that the three novel polysaccharides are potential candidates for anti-complementary drugs.

Abstract
Sea cucumbers are considered a luxury food item and used locally in traditional medication due to their impressive nutritional profile and curative effects. Sea cucumbers contain a wide range of bioactive compounds, namely phenolics, polysaccharides, proteins (collagen and peptides), carotenoids, and saponins, demonstrating strong antioxidant and other activities. In particular, phenolic compounds, mainly phenolic acids and flavonoids, are abundant in this marine invertebrate and exhibit antioxidant activity. Protein hydrolysates and peptides obtained from sea cucumbers exhibit antioxidant potential, mainly dependent on the amino acid compositions and sequences as well as molecular weight, displayed for those of ≤20 kDa. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of sea cucumber polysaccharides, including fucosylated chondroitin sulfate and fucan, is a combination of numerous factors and is mostly associated with molecular weight, degree of sulfation, and type of major sugars. However, the activity of these bioactive compounds typically depends on the sea cucumber species, harvesting location, food habit, body part, and processing methods employed. This review summarizes the antioxidant activity of bioactive compounds obtained from sea cucumbers and their by-products for the first time. The mechanism of actions, chemical structures, and factors affecting the antioxidant activity are also discussed, along with the associated health benefits.

Abstract
Laminaria japonica is widely consumed as a key food and medicine. Polysaccharides are one of the most plentiful constituents of this marine plant. In this study, several polysaccharide fractions with different charge numbers were obtained. Their physicochemical properties and anticoagulant activities were determined by chemical and instrumental methods. The chemical analysis showed that Laminaria japonica polysaccharides (LJPs) and the purified fractions LJP0, LJP04, LJP06, and LJP08 mainly consisted of mannose, glucuronic acid, galactose, and fucose in different mole ratios. LJP04 and LJP06 also contained minor amounts of xylose. The polysaccharide fractions eluted by higher concentration of NaCl solutions showed higher contents of uronic acid and sulfate group. Biological activity assays showed that LJPs LJP06 and LJP08 could obviously prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), indicating that they had strong anticoagulant activity. Furthermore, we found that LJP06 exerted this activity by inhibiting intrinsic factor Xase with higher selectivity than other fractions, which may have negligible bleeding risk. The sulfate group may play an important role in the anticoagulant activity. In addition, the carboxyl group and surface morphology of these fractions may affect their anticoagulant activities. The results provide information for applications of L. japonica polysaccharides, especially LJP06 as anticoagulants in functional foods and therapeutic agents.
