Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030602. [PMID: 36771902 PMCID: PMC9920076 DOI: 10.3390/polym15030602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Low-molecular-weight carrageenan has attracted great interest because it shows advantages in solubility, absorption efficiency, and bioavailability compared to original carrageenan. However more environment-friendly and efficient methods to prepare low-molecular-weight carrageenan are still in great need. In the present study, a photocatalytic degradation method with only TiO2 has been developed and it could decrease the average molecular weight of κ-carrageenan to 4 kDa within 6 h. The comparison of the chemical compositions of the degradation products with those of carrageenan by FT-IR, NMR, etc., indicates no obvious removement of sulfate group, which is essential for bioactivities. Then 20 carrageenan oligosaccharides in the degradation products were identified by HPLC-MSn, and 75% of them possessed AnGal or its decarbonylated derivative at their reducing end, indicating that photocatalysis is preferential to break the glycosidic bond of AnGal. Moreover, the analysis results rheology and Cryo-SEM demonstrated that the gel property decreased gradually. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that the photocatalytic method with TiO2 as the only catalyst has the potential to prepare low-molecular-weight carrageenan with high sulfation degree and low viscosity, and it also proposed the degradation rules after characterizing the degradation products. Thus, the present study provides an effective green method for the degradation of carrageenan.

Abstract
The marine microenvironment harbors many unique species of organisms that produce a plethora of compounds that help mankind cure a wide range of diseases. The diversity of products from the ocean bed serves as potentially healing materials and inert vehicles carrying the drug of interest to the target site. Several composites still lay undiscovered under the blue canopy, which can provide treatment for untreated diseases that keep haunting the earth periodically. Cancer is one such disease that has been of interest to several eminent scientists worldwide due to the heterogenic complexity involved in the disease's pathophysiology. Due to extensive globalization and environmental changes, cancer has become a lifestyle disease continuously increasing exponentially in the current decade. This ailment requires a definite remedy that treats by causing minimal damage to the body's normal cells. The application of nanotechnology in medicine has opened up new avenues of research in targeted therapeutics due to their highly malleable characteristics. Marine waters contain an immense ionic environment that succors the production of distinct nanomaterials with exceptional character, yielding highly flexible molecules to modify, thus facilitating the engineering of targeted biomolecules. This review provides a short insight into an array of marine biomolecules that can be probed into cancer nanotherapeutics sparing healthy cells.

Abstract
The sulfated polysaccharide from sterile alga Mastocarpus pacificus was investigated. Partial reductive hydrolysis and NMR spectroscopy showed that the extracted polysaccharides were only carrageenans. According to FT-IR- and NMR spectroscopy this polysaccharide was a hybrid kappa/iota-carrageenan with a predominance of kappa-type units. According to MALDI-TOFMS, oligosaccharide fragments obtained by mild acid hydrolysis had a polymerization degree of 1-9, while chains built up of galactose residues were up to 3. Tandem ESI mass spectrometry together with innovative 18O-labelling method showed that the polymer chain of the carrageenan included kappa-carrabiose, kappa-carratetraose, iota-carrabiose, hybrid kappa/iota oligosaccharide units and contained minor insertions of mu-carrageenan (the precursor of kappa-carrageenan). Parallel artificial membrane permeability assay shown that the studied carrageenan inhibited bile salts permeation through an artificial membrane imitating the gastrointestinal barrier by 50 % on average compared to negative control independent of incubation time. However, its action was less pronounced than the hindering ability of cholestyramine.

Abstract
Rhamnan-rich sulfated polysaccharides extracted from green algae (ulvan) constitute potentially useful natural materials for drug development. However, the characterization of their complex structures poses a challenge for their application. In this study, the structure of ulvan extracted from Ulva clathrata was analyzed with the assistance of an ulvan lyase belonging to the PL25 family. According to mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the degraded oligosaccharides, the backbone of such a polysaccharide mainly consisted of →4)-β-d-GlcA-(1→4)-α-l-Rha3S-(1→ and →4)-β-d-Xyl-(1→4)-α-l-Rha3S-(1→ disaccharide repeating units, and the ratio is approximately 4:1. In addition, about 4% of the xylose moieties bear sulfate groups. Minor amounts of branches containing hexose and unsaturated glucuronic acid were found during the sequence analysis of hexa- to octasaccharides. These results indicated the presence of a long branch in the ulvan. The clarification of the detailed structure provides a foundation for ulvan modification and its structure-activity relationship studies.

Abstract
Sulfated oligosaccharides are involved in important biological events that are often modulated by specific sequences and sulfation patterns, but their structural analysis remains challenging. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis of three different sulfated oligosaccharides (Fondaparinux, the octasulfated pentasaccharide, a disulfated heparin-derived tetrasaccharide 1, and an octasulfated maltoheptaose) 2 was performed using the 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid-tetramethylguanidinium (HABA-TMG2) matrix. High resolution mass spectrometry of the main ions observed was successful, and this was complemented by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis for structural assessment. Despite sulfate losses, fully sulfated molecular ions were observed and these allowed the determination of oligosaccharide structures: UA-GlcNAc-UA(2S)-AnhMan(6S) for compound 1 and (Glc6S)6-Glc (1S,6S) for compound 2.

Abstract
Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are widely applied in food, cosmetic, and medical industries. The EPS produced by Phyllobacterium sp. 921F was a novel polysaccharide, which exhibits attractive characteristics of high yield, favorable rheological properties, and excellent moisture retention ability. Considering the complexity of polysaccharide structures, specific enzymatic hydrolysis was employed here to resolve the structure of the EPS. End-products including tetra-, hexa- and octa-saccharides were isolated. According to their mass spectroscopy (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, the backbone of the EPS was found to be mainly comprising a → 4)-β-d-Glcp-(1 → 3)-α-d-Galp(4,6-S-Pyr)-(1 → disaccharide repeating units. Based on atomic force microscopy results, EPS exhibited characteristics that were consistent with a stiff, elongated molecule with no branches. The length and height of the single molecular chain were approximately 600 and 0.7 nm, respectively. Our clarification of structure and molecular morphology of EPS from Phyllobacterium sp. 921F provide a foundation for the industrial application of this potential moisture-retaining material.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the pH stimuli-responsive drug delivery system have been extensively applied in cancer treatment. Carrageenan derived from marine red algae shows a promising application prospect for drug delivery as a nanomaterial for its biodegradability, abundance, and non-toxicity. Carrageenan oligosaccharide (CAO) was used as a biocompatible reductant for green synthesis of CAO-AuNPs, and the obtained CAO-AuNPs were further used as a delivery system for pH-triggered delivery of epirubicin (EPI). The EPI-CAO-AuNPs were demonstrated to be spherical and homogeneous with mean diameter of 141 ± 6 nm by means of electron microscopy and Malvern particle size analyzer. Results showed that the release of EPI from EPI-CAO-AuNPs was significant under acidic condition that simulated cancer environment, while it was negligible under physiological pH in vitro. Confocal laser scanning microscope and flow cytometry analysis showed that EPI-CAO-AuNPs were localized in cellular nucleus and induced more apoptosis of HCT-116 and HepG2 cells than free EPI. A new pH-triggered anticancer drug release was achieved by EPI-CAO-AuNPs system for the first time. The developed EPI-CAO-AuNPs nanosystem shows a promising prospect for pH-triggered delivery of antitumor drugs, and our work provides a new idea for targeted drug delivery by using biocompatible marine carbohydrates as nanomaterial.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has become the primary method for high-sensitivity structural determination of oligosaccharides. Fragmentation in the negative-ion MS can provide a wealth of structural information and these can be used for sequence determination. However, although negative-ion MS of neutral oligosaccharide using the deprotonated molecule [M-H]- as the precursor has been very successful for electrospray ionization (ESI), it has only limited success for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). In the present study, the features of negative-ion MALDI primary spectra were investigated in detail and the product-ion spectra using [M-H]- and [M+Cl]- as the precursors were carefully compared. The formation of [M-H]- was the main difficulty for MALDI while [M+Cl]- was proved to be useful as alternative precursor anion for MALDI-MS/MS to produce similar fragmentation for sequencing of neutral oligosaccharides. N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride was then used as both the matrix and the Cl- dopant to evaluate the extent of structural information that can be obtained by negative-ion fragmentation from [M+Cl]- using laser-induced dissociation (LID)-MS/MS for linkage assignment of gluco-oligosaccharides and for typing of blood-group ABO(H) and Lewis antigens on either type 1 or type 2 backbone-chains.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely used in catalysis, photothermal therapy, and targeted drug delivery. Carrageenan oligosaccharide (CAO) derived from marine red algae was used as a reducing and capping agent to obtain AuNPs by an eco-friendly, efficient, and simple synthetic route for the first time. The synthetic conditions of AuNPs were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), and the CAO-AuNPs obtained were demonstrated to be ellipsoidal, stable and crystalline by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The CAO-AuNPs showed localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) oscillation at about 530 nm with a mean diameter of 35 ± 8 nm. The zeta potential of CAO-AuNPs was around -20 mV, which was related to the negatively charged CAO around AuNPs. The CAO-AuNPs exhibited significant cytotoxic activities to HCT-116 and MDA-MB-231 cells, which could be a promising nanomaterial for drug delivery.

[PMID: 29662015 PMCID: PMC5923415 DOI: 10.3390/md16040128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2018] [Revised: 04/08/2018] [Accepted: 04/10/2018] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
As an important glycosaminoglycan, keratan sulfate (KS) mainly exists in corneal and cartilage, possessing various biological activities. In this study, we purified KS from blue shark (Prionace glauca) cartilage and prepared KS oligosaccharides (KSO) through keratanase II-catalyzed hydrolysis. The structures of KS and KSO were characterized using multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Shark cartilage KS was highly sulfated and modified with ~2.69% N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) through α(2,3)-linked to galactose. Additionally, KS exhibited binding affinity to Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA120) in a concentration-dependent manner, a highly toxic lectin from beans of the castor plant. Furthermore, KSO from dp2 to dp8 bound to RCA120 in the increasing trend while the binding affinity of dp8 was superior to polysaccharide. These results define novel structural features for KS from Prionace glauca cartilage and demonstrate the potential application on ricin-antidote exploitation.

Abstract
A charged and size uniform polysaccharide PS2 was prepared from red seaweed Polysiphonia senticulosa Harvey. Based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization collision-induced-dissociation mass spectrometry (ESI-CID-MSn) analysis, PS2 was determined to be a novel 6-O-sulfated agarose which was mainly composed of a repeating unit of alternating (1→3)-linked 6-sulfated-β-d-galactose and (1→4)-linked 3,6-anhydro-α-l-galactose in association with small amount of pyruvate substituted on galactose residues and xylose (Xyl) branched at C2 position of 3,6-anhydro-galactose. The immunomodulatory activity of PS2 was evaluated on RAW264.7 cells, and the results showed PS2 could increase nitric oxide (NO) production and enhanced the phagocytic activity of macrophages. Moreover, PS2 could significantly promote proliferation of T lymphocyte and potentiated the nature kill cell (NK) activity. These findings suggest that PS2 could be potentially developed as a novel valuable immunomodulator.

Abstract
An analytical method based on the combination of multistage mass spectrometry (MSn) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) was developed for the analysis of immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. It has been recently suggested that IgG glycosylation defect may be involved in RA immunopathogenesis. Complete characterization of glycans, including both qualitative and quantitative analysis, requires a combination of different techniques, and accurate, robust, sensitive, and high-throughput methodologies are important for analysis of clinical samples. In the present study, N-glycosylation of IgG in RA patients and in healthy people was characterized through identification of the released glycans using multistage matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MSn), and quantitation by CE. Assignment of the IgG N-glycan structures was made through branching pattern analysis by MSn with high-throughput. Further accurate quantitation indicated that galactosylation and sialylation of IgG N-glycans in RA cases were significantly lower than in healthy subjects. The results indicate that CE coupled with MSn can identify abnormal glycosylation of IgG in RA patients compared with healthy people, and that the present work is useful for RA mechanism studies and RA diagnosis. Graphical Abstract Qualitative and quantitative analysis of IgG glycosylation in rheumatoid arthritis patients by MALDI-TOF-MSn and capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
Carrageenan, agarose, and alginate are algae-derived undigested polysaccharides that have been used as food additives for hundreds of years. Fermentation of dietary carbohydrates of our food in the lower gut of humans is a critical process for the function and integrity of both the bacterial community and host cells. However, little is known about the fermentation of these three kinds of seaweed carbohydrates by human gut microbiota. Here, the degradation characteristics of carrageenan, agarose, alginate, and their oligosaccharides, by Bacteroides xylanisolvens, Bacteroides ovatus, and Bacteroides uniforms, isolated from human gut microbiota, are studied.

Abstract
Type 1 (Galβ1-3GlcNAc) and type 2 (Galβ1-4GlcNAc) sequences are constituents of the backbones of a large family of glycans of glycoproteins and glycolipids whose branching and peripheral substitutions are developmentally regulated. It is highly desirable to have microsequencing methods that can be used to precisely identify and monitor these oligosaccharide sequences with high sensitivity. Negative-ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation has been used for characterization of branching points, peripheral substitutions, and partial assignment of linkages in reducing oligosaccharides. We now extend this method to characterizing entire sequences of linear type 1 and type 2 chain-based glycans, focusing on the type 1 and type 2 units in the internal regions including the linkages connecting type 1 and type 2 disaccharide units. We apply the principles to sequence analysis of closely related isomeric oligosaccharides and demonstrate by microarray analyses distinct binding activities of antibodies and a lectin toward various combinations of type 1 and 2 units joined by 1,3- and 1,6-linkages. These sequence-specific carbohydrate-binding proteins are in turn valuable tools for detecting and distinguishing the type 1 and type 2-based developmentally regulated glycan sequences.

Abstract
An apigalacturonan (AGA)-rich polysaccharide, ZCMP, was isolated from the sea grass Zostera caespitosa Miki. The depolymerized fragments derived from ZCMP were obtained by either acidic degradation or pectinase degradation, and their structures were characterized by electrospray ionization collision-induced-dissociation mass spectrometry (ESI-CID-MS2) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The average molecular weight of ZCMP was 77.2 kD and it consisted of galacturonic acid (GalA), apiosefuranose (Api), galactose (Gal), rhamnose (Rha), arabinose (Ara), xylose (Xyl), and mannose (Man), at a molar ratio of 51.4꞉15.5꞉6.0꞉11.8꞉4.2꞉4.4꞉4.2. There were two regions of AGA (70%) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-Ι, 30%) in ZCMP. AGA was composed of an α-1,4-D-galactopyranosyluronan backbone mainly substituted at the O-3 position by single Api residues. RG-Ι possessed a backbone of repeating disaccharide units of →4GalAα1,2Rhaα1→, with a few α-L-arabinose and β-D-galactose residues as side chains. The anti-angiogenesis assay showed that ZCMP inhibited the migratory activity of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs), with no influence on endothelial cells growth. ZCMP also promoted macrophage phagocytosis. These findings of the present study demonstrated the potential anti-tumor activity of ZCMP through anti-angiogenic and immunoregulatory pathways.

Abstract
A sulfated galactofucan SgF (MW 123kDa) was purified from the brown alga Saccharina gurjanovae. Polysaccharide was depolymerized by autohydrolysis at 25 and 60°C, and products were studied by mass spectrometry and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. According to results of investigation, the main chain of this polysaccharide is built of a repeating units →3)-α-L-Fucp-(2,4-OSO3(-))-(1→. Fucose chains could be sometimes terminated by (1→3)-linked galactose residues. Shorter (1→4)- and/or (1→6)-linked sulfated galactose chains are attached at positions C-2, C-3 of fucose residues. Sulfate groups can occupy positions C-2 and/or sometimes C-3 of Gal residues, but a sulfation at C-4 of the galactofucan could not be excluded. The SgF-AH25-H preparation (71kDa) was obtained by autohydrolysis of SgF at 25°C, which leaded to a selective desulfation at C-2 and, probably, to a cleavage of galactose chains, since structure of SgF-AH25-H represented a repeating unit →3)-α-l-Fucp-(4-OSO3(-))-(1→, which was definitely established by (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Galactofucan SgF and its derivative SgF-AH25-H exhibited no cytotoxic activity and leaded to about the same colony formation inhibition in colon cancer DLD-1 cells. Hence, structural simplification of SgF by lowering its molecular weight, desulfation at C-2 and removing of galactose residues by autohydrolysis at 25°C did not decrease its anticancer activity. This procedure allows obtaining standardized products which can be used as medical.

Abstract
The application of mass spectrometry towards the structural analysis of the most interesting sulfated biopolymers of the brown algae-fucoidans only developed relatively recently. During method development, many problems, both chemical and instrumental, have to be solved. For example, mass spectrometry has a limitation in the analysis of anionic high molecular weight (HMW) polysaccharides because of the labile nature of sulfate groups which cause the polysaccharide to desulfate rather than ionize. Thus, decomposition methods should be developed taking into account the structural features of such a complex and fragile compound. The selection of optimal instrument settings for the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) and of matrix media for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDIMS) is also required. When optimal parameters for mass spectrometric analyses are found, the application of these methods to the elucidation of structural features of fucoidans (by studying their fragments) allows researchers to rapidly obtain new and unique data, often impossible to achieve by other techniques. Herein, we describe tandem mass spectrometry of sulfated fucooligosaccharides, obtained by an autohydrolysis technique from structurally different fucoidans.

Abstract
Carrageenans are sulfated galactan isolated from marine red algae with different disaccharide forms. There are also some hybrid carrageenan-like oligomers, which are reported to possess a number of bioactivities. Here, we describe a method to study the structural characterization of a carrageenan-like sulfated galactan FB1 extracted from the red seaweed Furcellaria lumbricalis. We show the process of the general analysis of FB1, including the molecular weight, sulfate content, total sugar content, protein content, and 3,6-anhydrogalactose (3,6-AnG) content analyses. The fine structure identification methods, including desulfation and methylation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electrospray ionization collision induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (ES-CID-MS/MS), are also described in detail.

Abstract
Marine oligosaccharides have attracted increasing attention recently in developing potential drugs and biomaterials for their particular physical and chemical properties. However, the composition and sequence analysis of marine oligosaccharides are very challenging for their structural complexity and heterogeneity. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an important technique for carbohydrate analysis by providing more detailed structural information, including molecular mass, sugar constituent, sequence, inter-residue linkage position and substitution pattern. This paper provides an overview of the structural analysis based on MS approaches in marine oligosaccharides, which are derived from some biologically important marine polysaccharides, including agaran, carrageenan, alginate, sulfated fucan, chitosan, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and GAG-like polysaccharides. Applications of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) are mainly presented and the general applications of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) are also outlined. Some technical challenges in the structural analysis of marine oligosaccharides by MS have also been pointed out.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analysis of κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides obtained by degradation with κ-carrageenase from Pedobacter hainanensis.

Abstract
κ-Carrageenan was degraded with a novel κ-carrageenase isolated from Pedobacter hainanensis, which was first isolated from seaside soil under the stacks of red algae in Hainan province of China. The κ-carrageenase was detected with a molecular weight of ∼55 kDa estimated from SDS-PAGE and yielded enzymatic activity of 700.53 units/mg of protein under the conditions of pH 7.0 and 40 °C. Analysis of the degradation products by TLC and HPLC indicated that the enzyme degraded κ-carrageenan to sulfated oligosaccharides with even-numbered degree of polymerization, of which the tetrasaccharide was the major product. All the degradation components during different time courses were analyzed by ESI-MS, and their structures were assigned. Structural analysis by CID MS/MS revealed that each carrageenan oligosaccharide was composed of An-G4S-type neocarrabiose units, which consisted of a 3,6-anhydro-α-d-galactose (An) residue in the nonreducing end and a β-d-galactose-4-sulfate (G4S) residue in the reducing end. These results demonstrated that the κ-carrageenase cleaved κ-carrageenan at the internal β-1,4 linkage of κ-carrageenan. This enzymatic degradation offers an alternative approach to prepare κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides, which could be used as a powerful tool for further study on biological activity-structure relationship and thorough industrial exploitation of κ-carrageenan.

Abstract
Agarose (AP) from red algae has a long history as food ingredients in East Asia. Agaro-oligosaccharides (AO) derived from AP have shown potential prebiotic effects. However, the human gut microbes responsible for the degradation of AO and AP have not yet been fully investigated. Here, we reported that AO and AP can be degraded and utilized at various rates by fecal microbiota obtained from different individuals. Bacteroides uniformis L8 isolated from human feces showed a pronounced ability to degrade AO and generate D-galactose as its final end product. PCR-DGGE analysis showed B. uniformis to be common in the fecal samples, but only B. uniformis L8 had the ability to degrade AO. A synergistic strain, here classified as Escherichia coli B2, was also identified because it could utilize the D-galactose as the growth substrate. The cross-feeding interaction between B. uniformis L8 and E. coli B2 led to exhaustion of the AO supply. Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium adolescentis can utilize one of the intermediates of AO hydrolysis, agarotriose. Growth curves indicated that AO was the substrate that most favorably sustained the growth of B. uniformis L8. In contrast, κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides (KCO), guluronic acid oligosaccharides (GO), and mannuronic acid oligosaccharides (MO) were found to be unusable to B. uniformis L8. Current results indicate that B. uniformis L8 is a special degrader of AO in the gut microbiota. Because B. uniformis can mitigate high-fat-diet-induced metabolic disorders, further study is required to determine the potential applications of AO.

Abstract
The novel highly sulfated (35%) fucoidan fraction Cf2 , which contained, along with fucose, galactose and traces of xylose and uronic acids was purified from the brown alga Coccophora langsdorfii. Its structural features were predominantly determined (in comparison with fragments of known structure) by a rapid mass spectrometric investigation of the low-molecular-weight fragments, obtained by "mild" (5 mg/mL) and "exhaustive" (maximal concentration) autohydrolysis. Tandem matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectra (MALDI-TOF/TOFMS) of fucooligosaccharides with even degree of polymerization (DP), obtained by "mild" autohydrolysis, were the same as that observed for fucoidan from Fucus evanescens, which have a backbone of alternating (1 → 3)- and (1 → 4) linked sulfated at C-2 and sometimes at C-4 of 3-linked α -L-Fucp residues. Fragmentation patterns of oligosaccharides with odd DP indicated sulfation at C-2 and at C-4 of (1 → 3) linked α -L-Fucp residues on the reducing terminus. Minor sulfation at C-3 was also suggested. The "exhaustive" autohydrolysis allowed us to observe the "mixed" oligosaccharides, built up of fucose/xylose and fucose/galactose. Xylose residues were found to occupy both the reducing and nonreducing termini of FucXyl disaccharides. Nonreducing galactose residues as part of GalFuc disaccharides were found to be linked, possibly, by 2-type of linkage to fucose residues and were found to be sulfated, most likely, at position C-2.

Abstract
Sulfated N-glycans released from bovine thyroid stimulating hormone (bTSH) were ionized with the divalent metal cations Ca(2+), Mg(2+), and Co by electrospray ionization (ESI). These metal-adducted species were subjected to infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) and electron capture dissociation (ECD) and the corresponding fragmentation patterns were compared. IRMPD generated extensive glycosidic and cross-ring cleavages, but most product ions suffered from sulfonate loss. Internal fragments were also observed, which complicated the spectra. ECD provided complementary structural information compared with IRMPD, and all observed product ions retained the sulfonate group, allowing sulfonate localization. To our knowledge, this work represents the first application of ECD towards metal-adducted sulfated N-glycans released from a glycoprotein. Due to the ability of IRMPD and ECD to provide complementary structural information, the combination of the two strategies is a promising and valuable tool for glycan structural characterization. The influence of different metal ions was also examined. Calcium adducts appeared to be the most promising species because of high sensitivity and ability to provide extensive structural information.

Standard oligo-ι-carrageenans were produced with ι-carrageenases isolated from the marine bacteria Alteromonas fortis and Pseudolalteromonas atlantica. The carrageenans were then desulfated using a 4S-carrageenan-sulfatase purified from P. atlantica. Using chromatography and NMR analyses, we characterized a series of new standard neo-α-carrageenan oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Blood-group antigens, such as those containing fucose and bearing the ABO(H)- and Lewis-type determinants expressed on the carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids, and also on unconjugated free oligosaccharides in human milk and other secretions, are associated with various biological functions. We have previously shown the utility of negative-ion electrospay ionization tandem mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation (ESI-CID-MS/MS) for typing of Lewis (Le) determinants, for example, Le(a), Le(x), Le(b), and Le(y) on neutral and sialylated oligosaccharide chains. In the present report, we extended the strategy to characterization of blood-group A-, B-, and H-determinants on type 1 and type 2 and also on type 4 globoside chains to provide a high sensitivity method for typing of all the major blood-group antigens, including the A, B, H, Le(a), Le(x), Le(b), and Le(y) determinants, present in oligosaccharides. Using the principles established, we identified two minor unknown oligosaccharide components present in the products of enzymatic synthesis by bacterial fermentation. We also demonstrated that the unique fragmentations derived from the D- and (0,2)A-type cleavages observed in ESI-CID-MS/MS, which are important for assigning blood-group and chain types, only occur under the negative-ion conditions for reducing sugars but not for reduced alditols or under positive-ion conditions.

Abstract
Three different fucoidan fractions were isolated and purified from the brown alga, Sargassum mcclurei. The SmF1 and SmF2 fucoidans are sulfated heteropolysaccharides that contain fucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and glucose. The SmF3 fucoidan is highly sulfated (35%) galactofucan, and the main chain of the polysaccharide contains a →3)-α-L-Fucp(2,4SO₃⁻)-(1→3)-α-L-Fucp(2,4SO₃⁻)-(1→ motif with 1,4-linked 3-sulfated α-L-Fucp inserts and 6-linked galactose on reducing end. Possible branching points include the 1,2,6- or 1,3,6-linked galactose and/or 1,3,4-linked fucose residues that could be glycosylated with terminal β-D-Galp residues or chains of alternating sulfated 1,3-linked α-L-Fucp and 1,4-linked β-D-Galp residues, which have been identified in galactofucans for the first time. Both α-L-Fucp and β-D-Galp residues are sulfated at C-2 and/or C-4 (and some C-6 of β-D-Galp) and potentially the C-3 of terminal β-D-Galp, 1,4-linked β-D-Galp and 1,4-linked α-L-Fucp residues. All fucoidans fractions were less cytotoxic and displayed colony formation inhibition in colon cancer DLD-1 cells. Therefore, these fucoidan fractions are potential antitumor agents.

Abstract
Desulfation of a fucoidan from Saccharina japonica by treatment with DMSO-MeOH resulted in partial degradation of polymeric molecules by methanolysis giving rise to a mixture of neutral, monosulfated, and disulfated fucooligosaccharides in the form of methyl glycosides. These oligomeric fragments were characterized by ESI-MS and ESI-CID-MS/MS. It was found that oligosaccharide structures coincided with the polysaccharide backbone built up mainly of (1→3)-linked fucose residues sulfated at positions 4 and 2.

Abstract
Sea cucumber fucoidan is a major bioactive component of sea cucumber. Sea cucumber is widely consumed in East Asian countries as healthy food. Employing the degrading enzyme from the marine bacterium strain Flavobacteriaceae CZ1127, sea cucumber (Acaudina molpadioides) fucoidan oligosaccharides were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis. The oligosaccharide profile of the hydrolysate was determined by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). With the assistance of LC-MS, four major oligosaccharides in the hydrolysate were purified. By using tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, delicate structures of the oligosaccharides were verified as α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp(2,4OSO3(2-))-1→3-α-l-Fucp, α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp(2,4OSO3(2-))-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp, α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp(2,4OSO3(2-))-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp(2,4OSO3(2-))-1→3-α-l-Fucp and α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp(2,4OSO3(2-))-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp(2,4OSO3(2-))-1→3-α-l-Fucp-1→3-α-l-Fucp.

Abstract
A fucoidan extracted from Saccharina japonica was fractionated by anion exchange chromatography. The most complex fraction F0.5 was degraded by dilute sulphuric acid and then separated by use of an activated carbon column. Fraction Y1 was fractionated by anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography while Fraction Y2 was fractionated by gel filtration chromatography. The fractions were determined by ESI-MS and analyzed by ESI-CID-MS/MS. It was concluded that F0.5 had a backbone of alternating 4-linked GlcA and 2-linked Man with the first Man residue from the nonreducing end accidentally sulfated at C6. In addition, F0.5 had a 3-linked glucuronan, in accordance with a previous report by NMR. Some other structural characteristics included GlcA 1→3 Man 1→4 GlcA, Man 1→3 GlcA 1→4 GlcA, Fuc 1→4 GlcA and Fuc 1→3 Fuc. Finally, it was shown that fucose was sulfated at C2 or C4 while galactose was sulfated at C2, C4 or C6.

Abstract
Three sulfated rhamno-oligosaccharides, designated O1, O2 and O3, were obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of the sulfated rhamnan and purified by gel-permeation chromatography. On the basis of one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D, 2D NMR) spectroscopic analyses, the oligosaccharide O1 was characterized to be α-L-Rhap-(2SO4)-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap. The fragmentation pattern of the homogeneous disaccharide in the product ion spectra was recognized by negative-ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation (ES-CID MS/MS). With the principles established, the sequences of the oligosaccharides O2 and O3 were deduced to be α-L-Rhap-(2SO4)-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap, and α-L-Rhap-(2SO4)-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap (2SO(4)), respectively. The investigation demonstrated that the sulfated rhamnan-derived oligosaccharides were novel sulfated oligosaccharides different from those of other polysaccharides-degraded from algae, and it could be possible to determine the sequence of the sulfated rhamno-oligosaccharides directly from the glycosidic cleavage fragmentation in the product ion spectra.

Sequence determination and anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities of a novel sulfated fucan isolated from the sea cucumber Isostichopus badionotus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim is to analyze the structure, anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities of a sulfated fucan isolated from sea cucumber Isostichopus badionotus (fucan-Ib). METHODS Fucan-Ib was hydrolyzed under mild acid conditions. The oligosaccharide fragments were fractionated by gel-filtration chromatography and the structures were determined by negative-ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation and two-dimensional NMR. Anticoagulant activities were measured by activated partial thromboplastin, thrombin and prothrombin times, and by in vitro inhibition experiments with factors IIa and Xa. Antithrombotic activities were determined in vitro by measuring the length and weight of the thrombus generated. RESULT The linear polysaccharide sequence of fucan-Ib was deduced from the structures of its oligosaccharide fragments produced by acid hydrolysis. Under mild conditions, the glycosidic bonds between the non-sulfated and 2,4-O-disulfated fucose residues were selectively cleaved and highly ordered oligosaccharide fragments with a tetrasaccharide repeating unit [→3Fuc(2S,4S)α1→3Fuc(2S)α1→3Fuc(2S)α1→3Fucα1→]n were obtained. In in vitro assays fucan-Ib showed good anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities compared with heparin and the fucosylated chondroitin sulfate isolated from the same source (fCS-Ib). The two polysaccharides, fucan-Ib and fCS-Ib, differ in the mechanism of action; the former exhibited activity mainly by potentiation of antithrombin acted on thrombin and factor Xa whereas the latter mainly through heparin cofactor II. CONCLUSION Fucan-Ib has a well defined structure with tetrasaccharide tandem repeats and good anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities. GENERAL IMPORTANCE: Fucan-Ib has a well defined structure and can be readily quality-controlled, and therefore has potential therapeutic value as an affective antithrombotic drug with low risk of bleeding.

Abstract
Red algae (Rhodophyta) are known as the source of unique sulfated galactans, such as agar, agarose, and carrageenans. The wide practical uses of these polysaccharides are based on their ability to form strong gels in aqueous solutions. Gelling polysaccharides usually have molecules built up of repeating disaccharide units with a regular distribution of sulfate groups, but most of the red algal species contain more complex galactans devoid of gelling ability because of various deviations from the regular structure. Moreover, several red algae may contain sulfated mannans or neutral xylans instead of sulfated galactans as the main structural polysaccharides. This chapter is devoted to a description of the structural diversity of polysaccharides found in the red algae, with special emphasis on the methods of structural analysis of sulfated galactans. In addition to the structural information, some data on the possible use of red algal polysaccharides as biologically active polymers or as taxonomic markers are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Lectins are used extensively as research tools to detect and target specific oligosaccharide sequences. Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA(120)) recognizes non-reducing terminal β-D-galactose (Galβ) and its specificities of interactions with neutral and sialylated oligosaccharides have been well documented. Here we use carbohydrate arrays of sulfated Galβ-containing oligosaccharide probes, prepared from marine-derived galactans, to investigate their interactions with RCA(120). Our results showed that RCA(120) binding to Galβ1-4 was enhanced by 2-O- or 6-O-sulfation but abolished by 4-O-sulfation. The results were corroborated with competition experiments. Erythrina cristagalli lectin is also a Galβ-binding protein but it cannot accommodate any sulfation on Galβ.

Abstract
The elucidation of the structure of glycosaminoglycan has proven to be challenging for analytical chemists. Molecules of glycosaminoglycan have a high negative charge and are polydisperse and microheterogeneous, thus requiring the application of multiple analytical techniques and methods. Heparin and heparan sulfate are the most structurally complex of the glycosaminoglycans and are widely distributed in nature. They play critical roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes through their interaction with heparin-binding proteins. Moreover, heparin and low-molecular weight heparin are currently used as pharmaceutical drugs to control blood coagulation. In 2008, the health crisis resulting from the contamination of pharmaceutical heparin led to considerable attention regarding their analysis and structural characterization. Modern analytical techniques, including high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, played critical roles in this effort. A successful combination of separation and spectral techniques will clearly provide a critical advantage in the future analysis of heparin and heparan sulfate. This review focuses on recent efforts to develop hyphenated techniques for the analysis of heparin and heparan sulfate.
