Insight of pH-shifting as an effective pretreatment to reduce the antigenicity of lectin from red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) combining with autoclaving treatments: The structure investigation. Food Chem 2024; 434:137429. [PMID: 37716149 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023]
Abstract
Combined effects of pH-shifting and an autoclaving cycle (121 °C, 15 min) on red kidney bean lectin (RKBL) were investigated using intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence, UV, FTIR, DSC, SEC, dot-blot analysis and in vitro digestibility. Spectroscopic studies suggested that the protein refolding was stable after 3 h incubation with the hydrophobic exposure after pH-shifting, and hydrophobicity was significantly increased with the formation of more looser structure, which would influence the structural stability of known epitopes. In details, the increase of β-turn and reduction of random coil was related with the lower denaturation enthalpy, while the protein aggregation was also observed in acidic treated samples after autoclaving. Lower antigenicity and good digestibility suggested the exposure of enzyme cutting sites, and confirmed the effectivity of pH-shifting prior to the autoclaving. Then the results would be beneficial to the development of hypoallergenic kidney bean foods.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27238436. [PMID: 36500537 PMCID: PMC9741355 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27238436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
As they manifest specifically and reversibly, lectins are proteins or glycoproteins with the characteristic of agglutinating erythrocytes. Given that grain legume lectins can represent 10% of protein content and can have various biological functions, they are extensively studied. The objective of this work was to purify and partially characterize the lectins of Phaseolus vulgaris black, var surco and vara (LBBS and LBBV). Both lectin types were purified by affinity chromatography on stroma matrix, which agglutinated human erythrocytes type A, B, and O, as well as rabbit, hamster, pig, and chicken erythrocytes. Native-PAGE was employed for molecular mass determination, yielding 109.36 and 112.68 kDa for BBS and BBV, respectively. Further analyses revealed that these lectins are tetrameric glycoproteins that require Ca+2, Mn+2 and Mg+2 ions for exhibiting their hemagglutinating function, which can be inhibited by fetuin. Moreover, optimal pH was established for both lectins (10.5 for LBBS and 7-9 for LBBV), while their activity was temperature-dependent and ceased above 70 °C. Finally, the observed differences in the biochemical characteristics and bioactive functions were ascribed to the different physiological characteristics of each seed, as well as the protein itself.

Abstract
Since the early discovery of plant lectins at the end of the 19th century, and the finding that they could agglutinate erythrocytes and precipitate glycans from their solutions, many applications and biological roles have been described for these proteins. Later, the observed erythrocytes clumping features were attributed to the lectin-cell surface glycoconjugates recognition. Neoplastic transformation leads to various cellular alterations which impact the growth of the cell and its persistence, among which is the mutation in the outer surface glycosylation signatures. Quite a few lectins have been found to act as excellent biomarkers for cancer diagnosis while some were presented with antiproliferative activity that initiated by lectin binding to the respective glycocalyx receptors. These properties are blocked by the hapten sugar that is competing for the lectin affinity binding site. In vitro investigations of lectin-cancer cell's glycocalyx interactions lead to a series of immunological reactions that result in autophagy or apoptosis of the transformed cells. Mistletoe lectin, an agglutinin purified from the European Viscum album is the first plant lectin employed in the treatment of cancer to enter into the clinical trial phases. The entrapment of lectin in nanoparticles besides other techniques to promote bioavailability and stability have also been recently studied. This review summarizes our up-to-date understanding of the future applications of plant lectins in cancer prognosis and diagnosis. With the provision of many examples of lectins that exhibit anti-neoplastic properties.

Abstract
Pulses and whole grains are considered staple foods that provide a significant amount of calories, fibre and protein, making them key food sources in a nutritionally balanced diet. Additionally, pulses and whole grains contain many bioactive compounds such as dietary fibre, resistant starch, phenolic compounds and mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are known to combat chronic disease. Notably, recent research has demonstrated that protein derived from pulse and whole grain sources contains bioactive peptides that also possess disease-fighting properties. Mechanisms of action include inhibition or alteration of enzyme activities, vasodilatation, modulation of lipid metabolism and gut microbiome and oxidative stress reduction. Consumer demand for plant-based proteins has skyrocketed primarily based on the perceived health benefits and lower carbon footprint of consuming foods from plant sources versus animal. Therefore, more research should be invested in discovering the health-promoting effects that pulse and whole grain proteins have to offer.

Abstract
Legumes and cereals account for the vast proportion of people's daily intake of plant-based foods. Meanwhile, a large number of antinutritional factors in legumes and cereals hinder the body absorption of nutrients and reduce the nutritional value of food. In this paper, the antinutritional effects, determination, and passivation methods of thermosensitive antinutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors, urease, lipoxygenase, and lectin were reviewed to provide theoretical help to reduce antinutritional factors in food and improve the utilization rate of plant-based food nutrition. Since trypsin inhibitors and lectin have been more extensively studied and reviewed previously, the review mainly focused on urease and lipoxygenase. This review summarized the information of thermosensitive antinutritional factors, trypsin inhibitors, urease, lipoxygenase, and lectin, in cereals and legumes. The antinutritional effects, and physical and chemical properties of trypsin inhibitors, urease, lipoxygenase, and lectin were introduced. At the same time, the research methods for the detection and inactivation of these four antinutritional factors were also summarized in the order of research conducted time. The rapid determination and inactivation of antinutrients will be the focus of attention for the food industry in the future to improve the nutritional value of food. Exploring what structural changes could passivation technologies bring to antinutritional factors will provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the mechanisms of antinutritional factor inactivation. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Antinutritional factors in plant-based foods hinder the absorption of nutrients and reduce the nutritional value of the food. Among them, thermosensitive antinutritional factors, such as trypsin inhibitors, urease, lipoxygenase, and lectins, have a high proportion among the antinutritional factors. In this paper, we investigate thermosensitive antinutritional factors from three perspectives: the antinutritional effect of thermosensitive antinutritional factors, determination, and passivation methods. The current passivation methods for thermosensitive antinutritional factors revolve around biological, physical, and chemical aspects, and their elimination mechanisms still need further research, especially at the protein structure level. Reducing the level of antinutritional factors in the future food industry while controlling the loss of other nutrients in food is a goal that needs to be balanced. This paper reviews the antinutritional effects of thermosensitive antinutritional factors and passivation methods, expecting to provide new research ideas to improve the nutrient utilization of food.

Abstract
With the increase of food allergy events related to not properly cooked kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), more and more researchers are paying attention to the sensitization potential of lectin, one of the major storage and defensive proteins with the specific carbohydrate-binding activity. The immunoglobulin E (IgE), non-IgE, and mixed allergic reactions induced by the lectins were inducted in the current paper, and the detection methods of kidney bean lectin, including the purification strategies, hemagglutination activity, specific polysaccharide or glycoprotein interactions, antibody combinations, mass spectrometry methods, and allergomics strategies, were summarized, while various food processing aspects, such as the physical thermal processing, physical non-thermal processing, chemical modifications, and biological treatments, were reviewed in the potential of sensitization reduction. It might be the first comprehensive review on lectin allergen detection from kidney bean and the desensitization strategy in food processing and will provide a basis for food safety control.

El-Araby MM, El-Shatoury EH, Soliman MM, Shaaban HF. Characterization and antimicrobial activity of lectins purified from three Egyptian leguminous seeds. AMB Express 2020; 10:90. [PMID: 32415415 PMCID: PMC7229064 DOI: 10.1186/s13568-020-01024-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2019] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that play vital roles in many biological processes. In this study, lectins from three Egyptian cultivars (fava bean, lentil, and pea) were isolated by precipitation with different concentrations of ammonium sulfate. The purification process was performed by affinity chromatography using mannose agarose. The highest concentration of purified lectins (1.48 mg/g) was recorded in pea at 90% saturation. SDS-PAGE of the purified lectins revealed bands of low molecular weights (14 to 18 kDa). The complete amino acid sequences of purified lectins were assessed using mass spectrometry (MS), which indicated the presence of the peptides favin, p54, and psl in fava bean, lentil, and pea, respectively. The lectins showed antimicrobial activity. The highest inhibition zone (35 mm) was measured with lectin purified from lentil against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, followed by pea lectin (33.4 mm) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 10145. To the best of our knowledge, the legume lectins in this study are the first lectins to exhibit antifungal activity against Candida albicans, with the maximum inhibition zone (25.1 mm) observed with purified lectins of fava bean. Additionally, the first scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showing agglutination and clumping of microbial cells exposed to tested lectins are provided. These findings proved that Egyptian legume lectins are distinct from other lectins reported in previous studies and demonstrated their potential as antimicrobial agents against human pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
As a well-known allergenic indicator in kidney beans, lectins have always been the serious threats for human health. Herein, we introduced a new label-free voltammetric immunosensor for the direct determination of kidney bean lectin (KBL) with potential allergenic activity. Gold nanoparticles-polyethyleneimine-multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite was one-pot synthesized and modified onto the glass carbon electrode to enhance catalytic currents of oxygen reduction reaction. The KBL polyclonal antibody, acquired from rabbit immunization, was orientedly immobilized on the electrode modified with recombinant staphylococcal protein A via fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of antibody. Under the optimized condition, the immunosensor displayed a good linear response (R2 = 0.978) to KBL with a range from 0.05 to 100 μg/mL and a detection limit of 0.023 μg/mL. Simultaneously, the immunosensor exhibited well selectivity, interference-resistant ability, stability (4 °C) and reproducibility. Compared with the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, the immunosensor was successfully applied to quantify allergenic activity of lectin in raw and cooked (boiled for 30 min) kidney bean milk samples. This new approach provides new perspectives both for rapid quantification of lectin in kidney beans-derived foodstuffs and as a real-time monitoring tool for the allergenic potential during the whole production and consumption process.

Abstract
A two-step method based on an aqueous two-phase system and Sephadex G-75 was used to separate and purify lectin from the seeds of the Zihua snap bean. The preliminary properties and bioactivity of the Zihua snap bean lectin were characterized by different instrumental methods, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), liquid chromatography-nano electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (Nano LC-ESI-MS/MS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The hemagglutinating activity of the Zihua snap bean lectin could not be inhibited by glucose, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, d-galactose, N-acetyl-d-galactosamine, fructose, sucrose, d-maltose, d-trehalose, and lactose. It was found that the hemagglutinating activity of the lectin showed strong dependence on Mn2+ and Ca2+. The thermal and pH stability of the Zihua snap bean lectin was studied by FTIR and fluorescence spectroscopy. Relatively good stability was observed when the temperature was not higher than 70 °C, as well as in the pH range of 2.0 to 10.0. Digestive stability in vitro was investigated. The untreated lectin was relatively stable to pepsin and trypsin activity, but heat treatment could significantly reduce the digestive stability in vitro. Moreover, the lectin showed an inhibitory effect on the tested bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis)), and it also showed a certain inhibitory effect on the growth of Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans) at higher concentrations.

Abstract
The seeds of chickpea provide an exceptional source of dietary proteins and is one of the important legumes in both developed and developing countries over the world. The available germplasm of cultivated chickpea is deficient in desired biochemical signatures. To identify new sources of variations for breeding, reduced subsets of germplasm such as mini-core collection can be explored as an effective resource. In the present investigation, mini-core collections consisting of 215 accessions of chickpea were extensively evaluated for tapping biochemical diversity. Analysis included ten biochemical parameters comprising total protein, total free amino acids, phytic acid, tannin, total phenolics, total flavonoids, lectin, DPPH radical scavenging activity, in vitro digestibility of protein and starch. The spectrum of diversity was documented for total protein (4.60-33.90%), total free amino acids (0.092-9.33 mg/g), phytic acid (0.009-4.06 mg/g), tannin (0.232-189.63 mg/g), total phenolics (0.15-0.81 mg/g), total flavonoids (0.04-1.57 mg/g), lectin (0.07-330.32 HU/mg), DPPH radical scavenging activity (26.74-49.11%), in vitro protein digestibility (59.45-76.22%) and in vitro starch digestibility (45.63-298.39 mg of maltose/g). The principal component analysis revealed association of chickpea higher protein content to the lower level of total phenolics and flavonoid contents. The dendrogram obtained by unweighted pair group method using arithmetic average cluster analysis grouped the chickpea accessions into two major clusters. This is the first comprehensive report on biochemical diversity analysed in the mini-core chickpea accessions. The ultimate purpose of conducting such studies was to deliver information on nutritional characteristics for effective breeding programmes. Depending on the objectives of the breeding aforesaid accessions could be employed as a parent.

Abstract
A fast and efficient method based on a polyethylene glycol (PEG) 600/(NH₄)₂SO₄ aqueous two-phase system for extracting lectin from Zihua snap-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) seeds was established. According to a Box-Behnken design (BBD), involving four factors at three levels each subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response surface analysis, the protein recovery and the purification factor of lectin in the top phase were used as the response values of the variance analysis to acquire the multivariate quadratic regression model. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and the hemagglutination test were used to detect the distribution of lectin in the aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The obtained data indicated that lectin was preferentially partitioned into the PEG-rich phase, and the ATPS, composed of 15% (NH₄)₂SO₄ (w/w), 18% PEG 600 (w/w), 0.4 g/5 g NaCl and 1 mL crude extract, showed good selectivity for lectin when the pH value was 7.5. Under the optimal conditions, most of the lectin was assigned to the top phase in the ATPS, and the hemagglutination activity of the purified lectin in the top phase was 3.08 times that of the crude extract. Consequently, the PEG 600/(NH₄)₂SO₄ aqueous two-phase system was an effective method for separating and enriching lectin directly from the crude extract of Zihua snap-bean seeds.

Abstract
Legume lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin. Significant amounts of lectins have been found in Phaseolus vulgaris beans as far back as in the last century; however, many questions about their potential biological roles still remain obscure. Studies have shown that lectins are anti-nutritional factors that can cause intestinal disorders. Owing to their ability to act as toxic allergens and hemagglutinins, the Phaseolus vulgaris lectins are of grave concern for human health and safety. Nonetheless, their potential beneficial health effects, such as anti-cancer, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), anti-microbial infection, preventing mucosal atrophy, reducing type 2 diabetes and obesity, promoting nutrients absorption and targeting drugs, are of immense interest. The significance of Phaseolus vulgaris lectins in biological researches and the potential biomedical applications have placed tremendous emphasis on the development of purification strategies to obtain the protein in pure and stable forms. These purification strategies entail considerations such as effects of proteolysis, heating, gamma radiation, and high-hydrostatic-pressure that can have crucial outcomes in either eliminating or improving bioactivities of the lectins. Thus, up-to-date research findings of Phaseolus vulgaris lectins on different aspects such as anti-nutritional and health impacts, purification strategies and novel processing trends, are systematically reviewed.

Abstract
Phytohemagglutin (PHA), purified from red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) by Affi-Gel blue affinity chromatography, was subjected to ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) treatment (150, 250, 350, and 450 MPa). The purified PHA lost its hemagglutination activity after 450 MPa treatment and showed less pressure tolerance than crude PHA. However, the saccharide specificity and α-glucosidase inhibition activity of the purified PHA did not change much after UHP treatment. Electrophoresis staining by periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) manifested that the glycone structure of purified PHA remained stable even after 450 MPa pressure treatment. However, electrophoresis staining by Coomassie Blue as well as circular dichroism (CD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) assay proved that the protein unit structure of purified PHA unfolded when treated at 0-250 MPa but reaggregates at 250-450 MPa. Therefore, the hemagglutination activity tends to be affected by the protein unit structure, while the stability of the glycone structure contributed to the remaining α-glucosidase inhibition activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deregulation of apoptosis will influence the balance of cell proliferation and cell death, resulting in various fatal diseases that can include cancer. In prior research reports related to cancer therapy, phytohemagglutinin, a lectin extracted from red kidney beans, demonstrated the ability to inhibit the growth of human cancer cells. However, one of its isoforms, erythroagglutinating, has yet to be evaluated on its anticancer effects. METHODS PHA-E was used to induce apoptosis of A-549 lung cancer cells and the possible signal transduction pathway was elucidated, as measured by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, G6PD release assay, flow cytometry, and Western blot analysis. RESULTS PHA-E treatment caused a dose-dependent increase of cell growth inhibition and cytotoxicity on A-549 cells. In annexin V/propidium iodide [i.e., PI] and TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling)/PI assay, we found that the rate of apoptotic cells was raised as the concentration of PHA-E increased. Treatment of A-549 cells with PHA-E resulted in enhancing the release of cytochrome c, which thus activated an increase in caspase 9 and caspase 3, the upregulation of Bax and Bad, the downregulation of Bcl-2 and phosphorylated Bad, and finally the inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor and its downstream signal pathway PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK. CONCLUSIONS PHA-E can induce growth inhibition and cytotoxicity of lung cancer cells, which is mediated through an activation of the mitochondria apoptosis pathway. These results suggest that PHA-E can be developed into a new therapeutic treatment that can be applied as an effective anti-lung cancer drug in the near future.
