[PMID: 39029836 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133972] [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: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
A novel alginate lyase Aly7Aq was cloned and heterologous expressed by a combination of bioinformatics and molecular biology. Aly7Aq was an M-specific alginate lyase, exhibiting optimum reaction conditions at 50 °C and pH 10.0. Aly7Aq was determined to degrade polysaccharides in a random endo-acting manner. The minimum reaction substrate was tetrasaccharide, and Aly7Aq mainly attacked the third glycosidic linkage from the reducing end of oligosaccharide substrates. The disaccharide product of Aly7Aq was ΔM and the trisaccharide products were ΔMM and ΔMG, which differed from all previously characterized M-specific alginate lyases. The degradation products demonstrated that the ±2 subsites of Aly7Aq strictly recognized M units, while the -1 subsite accommodated both M and G units. Therefore, the substrate specificity of Aly7Aq was derived from the specificity of ±2 subsites. This is the first report on the specificity at subsite ±2 of M-specific alginate lyase. The novel M-specific Aly7Aq could serve as a potential tool in the specific degradation of alginate and targeted preparation of oligosaccharide.

Sharma S, Kishen A. Bioarchitectural Design of Bioactive Biopolymers: Structure-Function Paradigm for Diabetic Wound Healing. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:275.

Abstract
Chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers are a major complication in diabetes caused by hyperglycemia, prolonged inflammation, high oxidative stress, and bacterial bioburden. Bioactive biopolymers have been found to have a biological response in wound tissue microenvironments and are used for developing advanced tissue engineering strategies to enhance wound healing. These biopolymers possess innate bioactivity and are biodegradable, with favourable mechanical properties. However, their bioactivity is highly dependent on their structural properties, which need to be carefully considered while developing wound healing strategies. Biopolymers such as alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and collagen have previously been used in wound healing solutions but the modulation of structural/physico-chemical properties for differential bioactivity have not been the prime focus. Factors such as molecular weight, degree of polymerization, amino acid sequences, and hierarchical structures can have a spectrum of immunomodulatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties that could determine the fate of the wound. The current narrative review addresses the structure-function relationship in bioactive biopolymers for promoting healing in chronic wounds with emphasis on diabetic ulcers. This review highlights the need for characterization of the biopolymers under research while designing biomaterials to maximize the inherent bioactive potency for better tissue regeneration outcomes, especially in the context of diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
Alginate lyase degrades alginate by the β-elimination mechanism to produce unsaturated alginate oligosaccharides (UAOS), which have better bioactivities than saturated AOS. Enhancing the thermal stability of alginate lyases is crucial for their industrial applications. In this study, a feasible and efficient rational design strategy was proposed by combining the computer-aided ΔΔG value calculation with the B-factor analysis. Two thermal stability-enhanced mutants, Q246V and K249V, were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. Particularly, the t1/2, 50 °C for mutants Q246V and K249V was increased from 2.36 to 3.85 and 3.65 h, respectively. Remarkably, the specific activities of Q246V and K249V were enhanced to 2.41- and 2.96-fold that of alginate lyase AlyMc, respectively. Structural analysis and molecular dynamics simulations suggested that mutations enhanced the hydrogen bond networks and the overall rigidity of the molecular structure. Notably, mutant Q246V exhibited excellent thermal stability among the PL-7 alginate lyase family, especially considering the heightened enzymatic activity. Moreover, the rational design strategy used in this study can effectively improve the thermal stability of enzymes and has important significance in advancing applications of alginate lyase.

Potential of algae-derived alginate oligosaccharides and β-glucan to counter inflammation in adult zebrafish intestine. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1183701.

Abstract
Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) are natural bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. We performed a feeding trial employing a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model of soybean-induced intestinal inflammation. Five groups of fish were fed different diets: a control (CT) diet, a soybean meal (SBM) diet, a soybean meal+β-glucan (BG) diet and 2 soybean meal+AOS diets (alginate products differing in the content of low molecular weight fractions - AL, with 31% < 3kDa and AH, with 3% < 3kDa). We analyzed the intestinal transcriptomic and plasma metabolomic profiles of the study groups. In addition, we assessed the expression of inflammatory marker genes and histological alterations in the intestine. Dietary algal β-(1, 3)-glucan and AOS were able to bring the expression of certain inflammatory genes altered by dietary SBM to a level similar to that in the control group. Intestinal transcriptomic analysis indicated that dietary SBM changed the expression of genes linked to inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum, reproduction and cell motility. The AL diet suppressed the expression of genes related to complement activation, inflammatory and humoral response, which can likely have an inflammation alleviation effect. On the other hand, the AH diet reduced the expression of genes, causing an enrichment of negative regulation of immune system process. The BG diet suppressed several immune genes linked to the endopeptidase activity and proteolysis. The plasma metabolomic profile further revealed that dietary SBM can alter inflammation-linked metabolites such as itaconic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid and enriched the arginine biosynthesis pathway. The diet AL helped in elevating one of the short chain fatty acids, namely 2-hydroxybutyric acid while the BG diet increased the abundance of a vitamin, pantothenic acid. Histological evaluation revealed the advantage of the AL diet: it increased the goblet cell number and length of villi of the intestinal mucosa. Overall, our results indicate that dietary AOS with an appropriate amount of < 3kDa can stall the inflammatory responses in zebrafish.

Abstract
Global resources have to be used in responsible ways to ensure the world's future need for advanced materials. Ecologically friendly functional materials based on biopolymers can be successfully obtained from renewable resources, and the most prominent example is cellulose, the well-known most abundant polysaccharide which is usually isolated from highly available biomass (wood and wooden waste, annual plants, cotton, etc.). Many other polysaccharides originating from various natural resources (plants, insects, algae, bacteria) proved to be valuable and versatile starting biopolymers for a wide array of materials with tunable properties, able to respond to different societal demands. Polysaccharides properties vary depending on various factors (origin, harvesting, storage and transportation, strategy of further modification), but they can be processed into materials with high added value, as in the case of gels. Modern approaches have been employed to prepare (e.g., the use of ionic liquids as "green solvents") and characterize (NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, X ray diffraction spectrometry, DSC, electronic and atomic force microscopy, optical rotation, circular dichroism, rheological investigations, computer modelling and optimization) polysaccharide gels. In the present paper, some of the most widely used polysaccharide gels will be briefly reviewed with emphasis on their structural peculiarities under various conditions.

Abstract
A convenient route for the preparation of l-gulose and its C-6 derivatives starting from commercially available 2,3:5,6-diisopropylidene-d-mannofuranose via C-5 epimerization as the key step was developed. 1-O-Benzylation followed by regioselective hydrolysis of the 5,6-isopropylidene group furnished benzyl 2,3-isopropylidene-α-d-mannofuranoside, which was subjected upon regioselective one-pot 6-O-benzoylation and 5-O-mesylation, providing the corresponding 5-OMs-6-OBz derivative in excellent selectivity. Treatment of this mesylate compound with potassium t-butoxide to remove the benzoyl group followed by intramolecular SN2 inversion led to benzyl 5,6-anhydro-2,3-isopropylidene-β-l-gulofuranoside, which could undergo not only nucleophilic substitutions to open the epoxide ring to give various C-6 derivatives, but also acidic hydrolysis to yield 1,6-anhydro-β-l-gulopyranose for further transformation into l-gulopyranosyl pentaacetate.

Abstract
Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) are degradation products of alginate extracted from brown algae. With low molecular weight, high water solubility, and good biological activity, AOS present anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. They also exert growth-promoting effects in animals and plants. Three types of AOS, mannuronate oligosaccharides (MAOS), guluronate oligosaccharides (GAOS), and heterozygous mannuronate and guluronate oligosaccharides (HAOS), can be produced from alginate by enzymatic hydrolysis. Thus far, most studies on the applications and biological activities of AOS have been based mainly on a hybrid form of HAOS. To improve the directional production of AOS for practical applications, systematic studies on the structures and related biological activities of AOS are needed. This review provides a summary of current understanding of structure-function relationships and advances in the production of AOS. The current challenges and opportunities in the application of AOS is suggested to guide the precise application of AOS in practice.

Abstract
Alginate, a linear polymer consisting of β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G) with 1,4-glycosidic linkages and comprising 40% of the dry weight of algae, possesses various applications in the food and nutraceutical industries. However, the potential applications of alginate are restricted in some fields because of its low water solubility and high solution viscosity. Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) on the other hand, have low molecular weight which result in better water solubility. Hence, it becomes a more popular target to be researched in recent years for its use in foods and nutraceuticals. AOS can be obtained by multiple degradation methods, including enzymatic degradation, from alginate or alginate-derived poly G and poly M. AOS have unique bioactivity and can bring human health benefits, which render them potentials to be developed/incorporated into functional food. This review comprehensively covers methods of the preparation and analysis of AOS, and discussed the potential applications of AOS in foods and nutraceuticals.

Abstract
In previous studies, three phenolic compounds (vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol) were identified in baijiu, and confirmed to possess antioxidant activity in vitro. However, the distribution of phenolic compounds in baijiu, and their associations with the functionality of this regimen have not been previously reported. In the present work, the antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory effect of baijiu were evaluated by DPPH•, ABTS•+, ELISA, and real-time PCR assays. The concentrations of vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol (bioactive phenolic compounds) in 103 baijiu samples were confirmed by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Baijiu exhibited DPPH• and ABTS•+ scavenging activities, which positively correlated with the concentrations of vanillin, 4-methylguaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol. Moreover, ELISA and real-time PCR assays demonstrated that baijiu could relieve inflammation caused by LPS through the inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 expressions, induction of Nrf2 expression, and repression of inflammatory cytokine secretion. These findings lay the foundation for further investigation on the health benefits of baijiu and its bioactive components by animal and human studies.

Abstract
Extensive research on marine algae, especially on their health-promoting properties, has been conducted. Various ingredients with potential biomedical applications have been discovered and extracted from marine algae. Alginate oligosaccharides are low molecular weight alginate polysaccharides present in cell walls of brown algae. They exhibit various health benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor and immunomodulation. Their low-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, and biodegradability make them an excellent material in biomedicine. Alginate oligosaccharides can be chemically or biochemically modified to enhance their biological activity and potential in pharmaceutical applications. This paper provides a brief overview on alginate oligosaccharides characteristics, modification patterns and highlights their vital health promoting properties.

He Z, Li X, Han S, Ren B, Hu X, Li N, Du X, Ni J, Yang X, Liu Q. Bis(ethylmaltolato)oxidovanadium (IV) attenuates amyloid-beta-mediated neuroinflammation by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway via a PPARγ-dependent mechanism. Metallomics 2021; 13:6298233. [PMID: 34124763 DOI: 10.1093/mtomcs/mfab036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. During brain neuroinflammation, activated microglial cells resulting from amyloid-beta (Aβ) overload trigger toxic proinflammatory responses. Bis(ethylmaltolato)oxidovanadium (BEOV) (IV), an important vanadium compound, has been reported to have anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective effects, but its anti-inflammatory property has rarely been investigated. In the present study, the inhibitory effects of BEOV on neuroinflammation were revealed in both Aβ-stimulated BV2 microglial cell line and APPswe/PS1E9 transgenic mouse brain. BEOV administration significantly decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2 both in the hippocampus of APPswe/PS1E9 mice and in the Aβ-stimulated BV2 microglia. Furthermore, BEOV suppressed the Aβ-induced activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling and upregulated the protein expression level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in a dose-dependent manner. PPARγ inhibitor GW9662 could eliminate the effect of BEOV on Aβ-induced NF-κB activation and proinflammatory mediator production. Taken altogether, these findings suggested that BEOV ameliorates Aβ-stimulated neuroinflammation by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway through a PPARγ-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The present study aimed to purify, structurally characterize, and evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the polysaccharide extracted from Typha angustifolia. Two purified polysaccharides (PTA-1 and PTA-2) were obtained via DEAE-52 cellulose chromatography. Their structural characterizations and antioxidant activity were in vitro analyzed. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of PTA-2, the levels of inflammatory cytokines, intracellular ROS production, and the inhibitory effects of the transcriptional activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway were determined. PTA-1 comprises glucose (100%) with α-(1 → 3) glycosidic bonds, and PTA-2 comprises glucose (66.7%) and rhamnose (33.3%) formed by β-(1 → 3) glycosidic bonds. PTA-1 and PTA-2 showed strong antioxidant activity in vitro. Moreover, PTA-2 intervention (50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines, the activation of NF-κB signaling, and reactive oxygen species production significantly. The results identified PTA-2 as a natural product that could be applied in anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Polymannuronate (PM) is an acidic polysaccharide prepared from alginate, contained in edible brown seaweeds. An unsaturated mannuronate oligosaccharide (MOS) is an enzymatically depolymerized oligosaccharide prepared from PM. The effects of MOS on attenuating tauopathy were studied in HEK293/Tau cells and primary triple transgenic (3×Tg) neurons. MOS inhibited heparin-induced aggregation of the Tau-K18 oligomer and suppressed the levels of phosphorylated Tau protein. MOS treatment reduced the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) by decreasing its phosphorylation levels on the sites of Y216 and increasing phosphorylation levels on the sites of S9. MOS treatment increased the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I levels and reduced the expression of p62, indicating an increase in autophagy. Finally, MOS-induced decrease in Tau protein expression was attenuated by the addition of an autophagy inhibitor, confirming the involvement of autophagy. These data support MOS as a promising functional food or potential pharmaceutics for attenuating Tau protein-related disease.

Abstract
Alginate lyases have been widely used for the preparation of bioactive alginate oligosaccharides. An alginate lyase AlgL-CD was rationally designed by introducing alkaline amino acid residues near active center to increase activity. One of its mutants E226K presented much higher activity than wild-type AlgL-CD. Substrate affinity of E226K increased 10 folds as the Km values indicated. The spectra of intrinsic emission fluorescence and circular dichroism of E226K suggested the whole enzyme turned to be more flexible. The 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS)-binding assay showed that the hydrophobic active center of E226K was more available to ligand. Molecular dynamic analysis of the enzyme-substrate complex showed that lid loops of the active center in E226K turned to be more opened up, which might contribute to the increase of substrate-binding affinity. Meanwhile, the catalytic residue of E226K was closer to the hydrogen donor C5 atom of the substrate to increase catalysis rate. The final degradation products of alginate by E226K were determined to be identical with that of AlgL-CD. This study provides guidance for improving enzymatic preparation efficiency of bioactive alginate oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Macroalgae are the diverse group of photosynthetic algae found at the intertidal regions of oceans. Recent advances suggest that macroalgal derived glycans have tremendous potential to maintain gut microbiome and immune system. The human gut bacteria harbor unique arsenals for utilizing a variety of macroalgal glycans, and produce a variety of oligosaccharides in vivo. Those oligosaccharides interact with immune cell receptors, and also are available for microbial fermentation, thus play magnificent roles in balancing the gut homeostasis. However, this area of research is still in infancy condition in term to understand their molecular interactions. For wooing this area, we urge to emphasize more studies on mechanistic level sympathetic of depolymerizing marine dietary glycans by gut bacteria and elucidating molecular aspect of glycans to cell receptors interactions. This will invent new nutraceutical strategies to purposefully manipulate the microbial composition to improve health. Therefore, review focuses on the recent development of mechanistic understanding of human gut bacterial communities for utilizing macroalgal derived glycans. Recent trends of application of glycans in modulating immune system at mechanistic level and their available evidences are discussed.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been explored to prevent various cancer developments but it may cause oxidation, inflammation and high cytotoxicity. Alginate has nontoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. We aimed to explore the effects of alginate-TiO2 temozolomide (TMZ) nanoparticles on neuroblastoma. A neuroblastoma model was established with neuroblastoma cells and alginate-TiO2 TMZ nanoparticles were made by spraying low-viscosity sodium alginate (250-360 kDa). The morphology of nanoparticles was observed via scanning electron microscope (SEM). The crystallinity values were analyzed via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study. Neuroblastoma mice were treated with saline solution, TMZ, TiO2-TMZ and alginate-TiO2-TMZ nanoparticles. Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties and the mouse survival rates were measured. The spectrometric profiles of alginate-TiO2 were consistent with those of TiO2 and alginate. Alginate-TiO2 TMZ nanoparticles had higher cytotoxicity toward neuroblastoma cells and less inhibitory activity toward normal neuronal cells. The combined nanoparticles increased antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities and prolonged the survival time of the neuroblastoma model (P < 0.05). On the other hand, Alginate-TiO2 TMZ nanoparticles reduced the levels of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). The combined nanoparticles improved neuroblastoma treatment by affecting NF-κB and MAPK signals.

Abstract
Unsaturated mannuronate oligosaccharide (MOS) is an enzymatic depolymerization product from alginate-derived polymannuronate (PM). In this study, we investigated for the first time the potential therapeutic effect of MOS on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its molecular mechanism in N2a-sw cells and 3×Tg-AD primary cortex neurons. Our results showed that MOS ranges from mannuronate dimer to mannuronate undecamer (M2-M11) with an unsaturated nonreducing terminal structure and with a double bond and 1,4-glycosidic linkages. It significantly inhibited the aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ)1-42 oligomer, decreased expression of Aβ1-42 and reduced levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and BACE1. It promoted the autophagy, which involves the inactivation of mTOR signaling pathway and the facilitation of the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes. Finally, autophagy inhibitors blocked MOS' anti-AD actions, confirming the involvement of autophagy. In conclusion, MOS from seaweed alginate might be a promising nutraceutical or natural medicine for AD therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Euglena is a new super health food resource that is rich in the natural polysaccharide paramylon, a linear β-1,3-glucan with various biological activities including activity on the immune system in different cell lines and animals. Despite these reports, the immune regulation mechanism of paramylon is still unclear. RESULTS We investigate the signaling pathways paramylon impacts in immune macrophages. In RAW264.7 macrophages, sonicated and alkalized paramylon oligomers up-regulated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and increased secretion of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, paramylon activated the nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways and inhibiting these pathways attenuated the paramylon-induced secretion of the above immune-mediators. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that Euglena gracilis paramylon modulates the immune system via activation of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways and thus has potential therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Marine seaweed polysaccharides have been considered as a potential resource for antiallergic therapy. Alginate is an acidic linear polysaccharide and soluble dietary fiber that was extracted from brown algae, Laminaria japonica. The molecular weight of alginate was 108 kDa, and its water solution exhibited non-Newtonian characteristics, including viscoelasticity and shear-thinning behavior. The ability of alginate to inhibit allergic reactions was investigated in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced BALB/c mice, which have been widely used as a mouse model of egg allergy. The results showed that alginate could effectively attenuate the occurrence of allergic reactions, including improving the integrity of the intestinal epithelial villi and inhibition of mast cell degranulation in the jejunum, in OVA-induced mice. Moreover, after treatment with alginate, the levels of IgE, histamine and IL-4 in OVA-induced mice were remarkably decreased, and the levels of IFN-γ were markedly increased. In addition, the number of Treg cells in spleen tissues in OVA-induced mice was increased by alginate, and the OVA-induced differentiation of Th0 cells into Th2 cells was significantly inhibited. These results demonstrate that alginate possesses potential antiallergic activities in a mouse model of egg allergy, which might provide important evidence that alginate, extracted from Laminaria japonica, can be developed into a novel functional food for inhibiting egg allergy.

[PMID: 32200257 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.110094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
UVA radiation from the sun is the main external stimulus in the pathogenesis of skin photo-aging. This process is associated with cellular oxidative stress. Here we aim at showing the protective effect of d-Tetramannuronic Acid Tetrasodium Salt (M4), a natural product, against UVA (30J/cm2) irradiation-induced oxidative stress and photo-aging in HaCaT cells, and to reveal the molecular mechanism underlying the protective efficacy. M4 pretreatment significantly increased HaCaT cell viability and MMP, suppressing UVA-induced ROS generation. Moreover, M4 treatment prevented the UVA-induced photo-aging of HaCaT cells (the reduction of cell viability, mitochondria dysfunction, and SIRT1/pGC-1α deregulation). Notably, the anti-photo-aging potential of M4 was directly associated with the increased expression of MMP and SIRT1, which was followed by the up-regulation of pGC-1α, D-LOOP, and Mt-TFA, and the transcriptional activation of NRF1/NRF2. Therefore, M4 is useful for the protection of skin cells from UVA-induced photo-aging.

Abstract
Seleno-polymannuronate (Se-PM) was prepared from alginate-derived polymannuronate (PM) through a sulfation followed by a selenylation replacement reaction. The organic selenium content of Se-PM was 437.25 μg/g and its average molecular weight was 2.36 kDa. The neuroprotection effect of Se-PM and corresponding molecular mechanisms were investigated. Our results showed that, comparing to both sulfated PM (S-PM) and PM, Se-PM remarkably inhibited the aggregation of Aβ1-42 oligomer in vitro and significantly reduced the APP and BACE1 protein expression in N2a-sw cells, highlighting the critical function of the selenium presented in Se-PM. Moreover, Se-PM decreased the expression of cytochrome c and the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2, and enhanced the mitochondrial membrane potential in N2a-sw cells. These results suggested that Se-PM treatment can markedly inhibit N2a-sw cell apoptosis and promote N2a-sw cell survival and that Se-PM might be a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention of neurodegeneration owing to its remarkable neuroprotection effect.

Abstract
The antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used antitumor agent, however the overall response rate to 5-FU as a single agent is usually limited. Herein, how Lachnum expolysaccharide (LEP-2a), a type of active polysaccharide isolated from Lachnum sp., acted synergistically with 5-FU on HepG2 cells was investigated. It was found that LEP-2a notably enhanced 5-FU sensitivity in HepG2 cells in a synergistic manner. After combination treatment of 5-FU and LEP-2a, Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were inactivated. In addition, combination treatment induced generation of reactive oxygen species, decreased the levels of intracellular antioxidant enzymes and triggered mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, 5-FU combined with LEP-2a also resulted in p53 activation and NF-κB inhibition, and cell cycle arrest in the S phase as well as cell metastasis stagnation. Interestingly, LEP-2a treatment also blocked the DNA damage repair procedure. These findings demonstrate that LEP-2a enhanced 5-FU sensitivity and combination of 5-FU and LEP-2a exerts synergistic antitumor efficiency through multiple approaches.

[PMID: 31264720 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 05/07/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Vanillin, a kind of phenolic compound, is naturally found in food and beverage and widely used as a flavoring agent. In view of the safety and universality of vanillin, exploring the functions of vanillin on human is of great value. Thus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated THP-1 cells were selected as the cell model to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin in this study. On the basis of the results, vanillin markedly suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines (that is, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8), mediators (NO, iNOS, PGE2, and COX-2), and NLRP3 inflammasome (that is, NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1), blocked the LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB/IκBα/AP-1 signaling pathway, and activated the gene expression of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In addition, it was confirmed that vanillin was unable to react with LPS due to the results of quantification by HS-SPME-GC-MS. Hence, vanillin could effectively attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory response by regulating the expression of intracellular signaling pathways in THP-1 cells. It is a potent anti-inflammatory component found in food and beverage. These findings might contribute to the overall understanding of the potential health benefits of vanillin for food application. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin (VA) was evaluated by ELISA, real-time PCR, and western blot in LPS-induced THP-1 cells. The hypothesis that VA could react with LPS was excluded due to the results of quantification by HS-SPME-GC-MS. On the basis of the result, vanillin could effectively attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory response in THP-1 cells and was a potent anti-inflammatory component natural in food and beverage. These findings might contribute to the overall understanding of the potential health benefits of vanillin for food application.

Abstract
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweeds, has been shown to possess various bioactivities. In particular, low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF) has been shown to have better bioactivities. In this study, a LMWF (<10 kDa) was extracted from New Zealand Undaria pinnatifida and investigated for its immune modulation effects. LMWF at a concentration range from 1 to 50 μg/mL exerted an effective immune activation in RAW264.7 macrophages. LMWF treatment promoted significant NO release, iNOS expression, and TNF-α and IL-6 secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. It also significantly stimulated the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, and specific inhibitors of NF-κB and MAPK pathways diminished the stimulation, confirming the activation pathways. These results indicate that LMWF possesses potential health benefits through immune-stimulation, which may lead to future pharmaceutical development.
