[PMID: 38672836 PMCID: PMC11049014 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081160] [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: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in various pathological conditions due to their ability to induce oxidative damage to cellular components. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant properties of a peptide isolated from the hydrolysate of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) muscle. Purification steps yielded RPTE2-2-4, exhibiting potent scavenging activities against DPPH•, HO•, and O2•-, akin to Vitamin C. Structural analysis showed that the isolated peptide, LFKKNLLTL, exhibited characteristics associated with antioxidant activity, including a short peptide length and the presence of aromatic and hydrophobic amino acid residues. Moreover, our study demonstrated the cytoprotective effects of the peptide against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. Pretreatment with the peptide resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in intracellular ROS levels and elevation of glutathione (GSH) levels, indicating its ability to modulate cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative damage. Furthermore, the peptide stimulated the expression of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), further reinforcing its antioxidant properties. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of the Manila clam-derived peptide as a natural antioxidant agent with therapeutic implications for oxidative stress-related diseases. Further investigation into its mechanisms of action and in vivo efficacy is warranted to validate its therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Thrombus and cardiovascular diseases pose a significant health threat, and dietary interventions have shown promising potential in reducing the incidence of these diseases. Marine bioactive proteins and peptides have been extensively studied for their antithrombotic properties. They can inhibit platelet activation and aggregation by binding to key receptors on the platelet surface. Additionally, they can competitively anchor to critical enzyme sites, leading to the inhibition of coagulation factors. Marine microorganisms also offer alternative sources for the development of novel fibrinolytic proteins, which can help dissolve blood clots. The advancements in technologies, such as targeted hydrolysis, specific purification, and encapsulation, have provided a solid foundation for the industrialization of bioactive peptides. These techniques enable precise control over the production and delivery of bioactive peptides, enhancing their efficacy and safety. However, it is important to note that further research and clinical studies are needed to fully understand the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of marine bioactive proteins and peptides in mitigating thrombotic events. The challenges and future application perspectives of these bioactive peptides also need to be explored.

Abstract
In the former report, the casein peptide TKLTEEEKNR (PfCN) exhibits strong thrombin inhibitory activity in vitro. Its absorption capabilities, however, are unclear. Therefore, we studied its absorption characteristics both in vivo and in vitro. PfCN was carried by cells from the apical chamber to the basolateral chamber via active translocation in Caco-2 cells. Meanwhile, it can also be transported by HUVECs. We found that PfCN can be taken up by HUVECs using confocal laser imaging. PfCN has been proven to have good absorption properties in in vivo experiments. After five minutes of oral treatment, PfCN was identified in the blood, peaking at 82.75 ± 36.52 ng/mL in 30 min. And PfCN vanished from the blood circulation after 120 min. According to in vivo experiments, excessive concentrations of PfCN will alter the permeability of HUVECs. As a result, there is a foundation for PfCN application in the food sector. Meanwhile, we also hope this article can give an idea to the researchers who studying the absorption of functional peptides.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise (AE) training and/or oyster peptide (OP) supplementation on the formation of late-onset hypogonadism (LOH). AE training and/or OP supplement was performed during Cytoxan (CTX)-induced LOH formation in male SD rats for 6 consecutive weeks. Low dose of CTX could decrease mating times, the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT) in serum and TT, androgen receptor (AR), androgen binding protein (ABP), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in testicle, but increase capture latency, mating latency, and malondialdehyde, and downregulate the mRNA expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR), P450 cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), and StAR-related lipid transfer domain 7 (StARD7) in testicle. Every change was altered by AE training combined with OP supplement significantly, except for serum LH. Moreover, the effect of AE training combined with OP supplement was better than that of AE training on serum TT, FSH, testicular TT, mating latency, capture times, and mating times. AE training combined with OP supplement during CTX-induced LOH formation can prevent the LOH development by enhancing pituitary-gonads axis's function and reducing testicular oxidative stress to promote testosterone synthesis and spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an automatic mechanism responsible for the commencement and continuance of liver injury. In this study, an antioxidative peptide Val-Thr-Ala-Leu (VTAL) was purified from simulated gastrointestinal digestion of protein hydrolysates of the triploid oyster Magallana gigas. Significant antioxidant activity was identified, as well as a protective effect against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced human liver cancer (HepG2) cells. The results suggested that the antioxidant activity improved in a dose-dependent manner. The highest cell viability (88.105 ± 3.62%) was observed in 15 mM APAP-induced cells when treated with 25 μg/mL M. gigas peptide [M.g (pep)]. The peptide sequences include hydrophobic amino acids, which could be responsible for its chemoprotective and antioxidant activities. Treatment with M.g (pep) significantly promoted the proliferation of HepG2 cells, thus protecting them against APAP and imbuing them with significant antioxidant capacity. M.g (pep) could be beneficial for treating drug-induced oxidative stress and liver damage. Additionally, M.g (pep) could serve as an alternative to synthetic antioxidant drugs.

Abstract
Coagulation is a potential defense mechanism that involves activating a series of zymogens to convert soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin clots to prevent bleeding and hemorrhagic complications. To prevent the extra formation and diffusion of clots, the counterbalance inhibitory mechanism is activated at levels of the coagulation pathway. Contrariwise, this system can evade normal control due to either inherited or acquired defects or aging which leads to unusual clots formation. The abnormal formations and deposition of excess fibrin trigger serious arterial and cardiovascular diseases. Although heparin and heparin-based anticoagulants are a widely prescribed class of anticoagulants, the clinical use of heparin has limitations due to the unpredictable anticoagulation, risk of bleeding, and other complications. Hence, significant interest has been established over the years to investigate alternative therapeutic anticoagulants from natural sources, especially from marine sources with good safety and potency due to their unique chemical structure and biological activity. This review summarizes the coagulation cascade and potential macromolecular anticoagulants derived from marine flora and fauna.

Abstract
The activation of thrombin-treated endothelial cells resulted in disruption of the vascular tissues. A novel oyster-derived bioactive dodecapeptide (IEELEELEAER, P-2-CG) was reported to protect the human umbilical vein endothelial cells and their barrier function via the decrease of VE-cadherin disruption and the restoration of the F-actin arrangement. The promotion of the extrinsic pathway in this case triggers the release of tissue factors that occurs on the surface of the endothelial cells, thus changing the antithrombotic to prothrombotic. P-2-CG induced accordingly a prolongation of plasma clotting time and thrombin generation time, following the alteration of the antithrombotic phenotype. Furthermore, the antithrombotic activity of P-2-CG was also supported by the reduction of FXa and the inhibition of other factors release, for instance, inflammation factors, ROS, etc. In addition to its antithrombogenic role, P-2-CG displayed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties via the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades and central signaling pathways as shown in an in vitro model of endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
A novel anticoagulant peptide (IEELEEELEAER) derived from oyster (Crassostrea gigas) was discovered by combining the emerging bioinformatics with the classical enzymolysis approach. The anticoagulant peptide drastically reduced the extrinsic clotting activity (49% residual PT activity) and impaired the intrinsic clotting activity (77% residual PT activity). Consistent with the clotting data, the thrombin peak height reduced to 88.7 from 123.4 nM, and the thrombin generation time delayed to 5.32 from 4.42 min when an extrinsic trigger was applied. The inhibitory kinetics of FXIa, FIXa, FXa, FIIa, and APC in a purified component system rationally explained the reduction of the extrinsic clotting activity and impairment of thrombin generation. Besides the inhibition of FXa and FIIa activity, the activation processes of FX and FII by an intrinsic/extrinsic tenase complex and prothrombinase were also damaged. The anticoagulant activity in the plasma system was the result of comprehensive inhibition of various factors. The research provided a frame for anticoagulant evaluation and inhibitory mechanism of bioactive peptides from food products.

Abstract
Thrombin is a crucial regulatory serine protease in hemostasis and thrombosis and has been a therapeutic target of thrombotic events. A novel oyster-derived thrombin inhibitory dodecapeptide (IEELEELEAER, P-2-CG) was identified and characterized. P-2-CG prolonged thrombin time from 9.6 s to 23.3 s at 5 mg/mL in vitro. P-2-CG bound to thrombin Exosite-I domain spontaneously. The occupied Exosite-I blocked fibrinogen binding, which prolonged fibrinogen clotting time to 28 s from 18.5 s. Molecule dynamics demonstrated the interaction of P-2-CG and thrombin Exosite-I involved in eight hydrogen bonds and lots of electrostatic forces. The residue Tyr76 at thrombin Exosite-I is one critical amino acid for fibrinogen binding. The Glu11 in P-2-CG was bound with Tyr76 through strong hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic action. P-2-CG also significantly reduced the mortality of mice that suffered an acute pulmonary embolism induced by thrombin and inhibited mice tail thrombosis induced by κ-carrageenan. The thrombin inhibitory efficiency in vitro and antithrombosis in vivo of P-2-CG provided insight for further applications to serve as an antithrombotic agent.

Abstract
The present study assesses hepatoprotective effects of raw oyster lyophilized powder (OP) and subcritical water treated oyster powder (SOP) on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced toxicity and acute ethanol intoxication in mice. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that four phenolic compounds and glucose were identified from the SOP. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and malondialdehyde were considerably lower for the oyster extracts and the levels of glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteinesynthetase, glutathione S-transferase, and glutathione reductase were higher in the D-GalN induced mice compared with those in the controls. Histology analysis suggested that SOP can protect against and heal the D-GalN toxified liver. For the acute ethanol intoxication study, the enzymatic activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and SOP's alcohol dehydrogenase appeared better than that of OP. Overall, SOP may protect the liver from acute ethanol intoxication and D-GalN persuaded hepatitis.

Abstract
Developing peptide-based drugs are very promising to address many of the lifestyle mediated diseases which are prevalent in a major portion of the global population. As an alternative to synthetic peptide-based drugs, derived peptides from natural sources have gained a greater attention in the last two decades. Aquatic organisms including plants, fish and shellfish are known as a rich reservoir of parent protein molecules which can offer novel sequences of amino acids in peptides, having unique bio-functional properties upon hydrolyzing with proteases from different sources. However, rather than exploiting fish and shellfish stocks which are already under pressure due to overexploitation, the processing discards, regarded as secondary raw material, could be a potential choice for peptide based therapeutic development strategies. In this connection, we have attempted to review the scientific reports in this area of research that deal with some of the well-established bioactive properties, such as antihypertensive, anti-oxidative, anti-coagulative, antibacterial and anticarcinogenic properties, with reference to the type of enzymes, substrate used, degree of particular bio-functionality, mechanism, and wherever possible, the active amino acid sequences in peptides. Many of the studies have been conducted on hydrolysate (crude mixture of peptides) enriched with low molecular bioactive peptides. In vitro and in vivo experiments on the potency of bioactive peptides to modulate the human physiological functions beneficially have demonstrated that these peptides can be used in the prevention and treatment of non-communicable lifestyle mediated diseases. The information synthesized under this review could serve as a point of reference to drive further research on and development of functionally active therapeutic natural peptides. Availability of such scientific information is expected to open up new zones of investigation for adding value to underutilized secondary raw materials, which in turn paves the way for sustainability in fish processing. However, there are significant challenges ahead in exploring the fish waste as a source of bioactive peptides, as it demands more studies on mechanisms and structure–function relationship understanding as well as clearance from regulatory and statutory bodies before reaching the end user in the form of supplement or therapeutics.

Abstract
Thrombosis remains a prime reason of mortality worldwide. With the available antithrombotic drugs, bleeding remains the major downside of current treatments. This raises a clinical concern for all patients undergoing antithrombotic therapy. Novel antithrombotics from marine sources offer a promising therapeutic alternative to this pathology. However, for any potential new molecule to be introduced as a real alternative to existing drugs, the exhibition of comparable anticoagulant potential with minimal off-target effects must be achieved. The relevance of marine antithrombotics, particularly sulfated polysaccharides, is largely due to their unique mechanisms of action and lack of bleeding. There have been many investigations in the field and, in recent years, results have confirmed the role of potential marine molecules as alternative antithrombotics. Nonetheless, further clinical studies are required. This review covers the core of the data available so far regarding the science of marine molecules with potential medical applications to treat thrombosis. After a general discussion about the major biochemical steps involved in this pathology, we discuss the key structural and biomedical aspects of marine molecules of both low and high molecular weight endowed with antithrombotic/anticoagulant properties.

Abstract
A novel food-derived anticoagulant heptapeptides (P-3-CG) was isolated and characterized from oyster (Crassostrea gigas) pepsin hydrolysate. P-3-CG competed with fibrinogen against thrombin active domain by a spontaneous and exothermic reaction which was entropically driven. The residue Lys7 of P-3-CG anchored thrombin S1 pocket strongly, which inhibited fibrinogen binding to the thrombin, then blocked the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. The fibrinogen clotting time was prolonged to 27.55 s, and the reciprocally authenticated results of dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscope further explained for fibrinogen clotting time extension. Inhibition of amidolytic activity of thrombin was affected significantly by reaction time and P-3-CG concentration. Furthermore, P-3-CG prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time significantly in vitro/vivo, and decreased the mortality which was confirmed by pulmonary pathological slide results. The obtained results demonstrated that P-3-CG may potentially serve as an alternative food-derived anticoagulant peptide that could be utilized for thrombosis prevention.

Abstract
Thrombin can be used as a target for its inhibitors to prevent blood coagulation. A novel peptide (TKLTEEEKNR, PfCN) identified from αS2-casein (fragments 211-220) with high anticoagulant activity was screened and prepared. The activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and thrombin time, at the concentration of 4 mM, prolonged about 19, 2.5 and 5.5 s, respectively. At the same concentration, the fibrinogen clotting time prolonged from 25.5 ± 0.7 to 38.3 ± 1.3 s. The thrombin inhibitory efficiency in vitro (IC50 value of 29.27 mM) and antithrombosis effect in vivo were determined. The secondary structure of thrombin, which was influenced by PfCN, indicates that PfCN can bind to thrombin. Isothermal titration calorimetry and the chromogenic substrate test showed that PfCN belongs to the bivalent thrombin inhibitor like bivalirudin. Although the effect was not as good as bivalirudin, in the animal experiment, bleeding occurred in the bivalirudin group but not in the PfCN group. Moreover, molecular docking illustrates the mechanism for the antithrombin activity of PfCN. These results indicated that PfCN could be used as an effective thrombin inhibitor with broad potential for the prevention of thrombotic acute pulmonary embolism and other thrombotic events.

Abstract
Thrombin inhibition therapy is a practical strategy to reduce thrombotic and cardiovascular risks via blocking the formation of blood clots. This study aimed to identify naturally occurring thrombin inhibitors from licorice (one of the most popular edible herbs), as well as to investigate their inhibitory mechanisms. Among all tested licorice constituents, licochalcone A was found as the most efficacious agent against human thrombin (IC50 = 7.96 μM). Inhibition kinetic analyses demonstrated that licochalcone A was a mixed inhibitor against thrombin-mediated Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate hydrolysis, with a Ki value of 12.23 μM. Furthermore, mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomic assays and molecular docking simulations revealed that licochalcone A could bind to human thrombin at both exosite I and the catalytic site. In summary, our findings demonstrated that the chalcones isolated from licorice were a new class of direct thrombin inhibitors, also suggesting that licochalcone A was a promising lead compound for developing novel anti-thrombotic agents. Licochalcone A, a bioactive compound from licorice, displayed strong inhibition of thrombin.![]()

Abstract
In this study, oyster (Crassostrea gigas) proteins were digested under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions to screen potential antithrombotic peptides. The sequences of the released peptides in the intestinal digestion phase were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight MS (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). According to the antithrombotic activity analysis, the inhibitory ratio of oyster peptides showed an increasing trend, reaching up to 35.80% for a digestion period of 4 h. The APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) and TT (thromboplastin time) were increased by oyster peptides for human serum in vitro. Oyster peptides showed a competitive inhibition effect on thrombin, based on Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis. Molecular docking between the antithrombotic peptides and thrombin (PDB: ) was conducted using Discovery Studio 2017. Potential inhibitors against thrombin and the mechanism of antithrombotic activity were predicted using the algorithm of CDOCKER. There are fourteen potential antithrombotic peptides, whose affinity with thrombin is higher than that of hirudin, as indicated by the "-CDOCKER energy" score (181.491). Peptide LSKEEIEEAKEV is similar in sequence to thrombin inhibitors. The binding sites of potential antithrombotic peptides against thrombin at the S1 pocket were compared with hirudin variant-2 (GDFEEIPEEYLQ). In addition, the peptides containing the RG/RGD sequence were identified, which can be hydrolyzed by thrombin as a substrate. Consequently, the oyster peptides released in simulated gastrointestinal digestion probably inhibit thrombin in two ways, not only as the inhibitor against the active site, but also as the substrate of thrombin. These results maybe be attributed to the potentially strong antithrombotic activity in the human digestive system.
