Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfates with Rare Disaccharide Branches from the Sea Cucumbers Psolus peronii and Holothuria nobilis: Structures and Influence on Hematopoiesis.

ABSTRACT: Two fucosylated chondroitin sulfates were isolated from the sea cucumbers Psolus peronii and Holothuria nobilis using a conventional extraction procedure in the presence of papain, followed by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel. Their composition was characterized in terms of quantitative monosaccharide and sulfate content, and structures were mainly elucidated using 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. As revealed by the data of the NMR spectra, both polysaccharides along with the usual fucosyl branches contained rare disaccharide branches α-D-GalNAc4S6R-(1→2)-α-L-Fuc3S4R → attached to O-3 of the GlcA of the backbone (R = H or SO₃^-). The polysaccharides were studied as stimulators of hematopoiesis in vitro using mice bone marrow cells as the model. The studied polysaccharides were shown to be able to directly stimulate the proliferation of various progenitors of myelocytes and megakaryocytes as well as lymphocytes and mesenchymal cells in vitro. Therefore, the new fucosylated chondroitin sulfates can be regarded as prototype structures for the further design of GMP-compatible synthetic analogs for the development of new-generation hematopoiesis stimulators.

Project description:Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FucCS) is a unique glycosaminoglycan found primarily in sea cucumbers. This marine sulfated glycan is composed of a chondroitin sulfate backbone decorated with fucosyl branches attached to the glucuronic acid. FucCS exhibits potential biological actions including inhibition of blood clotting and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. These biological effects have been attributed to certain structural features, including molecular weight (MW), and/or those related to fucosylation, such as degrees of fucosyl branches, sulfation patterns and contents. In a previous work, we were able to generate oligosaccharides of the FucCS from Pentacta pygmaea (PpFucCS) with reduced anticoagulant effect but still retaining significant anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity against the delta strain. In this work, we extended our study to the FucCS extracted from the species Holothuria floridana (HfFucCS). The oligosaccharides were prepared by free-radical depolymerization of the HfFucCS via copper-based Fenton reaction. One-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were employed in structural analysis. Activated partial thromboplastin time and assays using protease (factors Xa and IIa) and serine protease inhibitors (antithrombin, and heparin cofactor II) in the presence of the sulfated carbohydrates were used to monitor anticoagulation. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects were measured using the concentration-response inhibitory curves of HEK-293T-human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 cells infected with a baculovirus pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 wild-type and delta variant spike (S)-proteins. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of native HfFucCS and its oligosaccharides was also assessed. Like for PpFucCS, we were able to generate a HfFucCS oligosaccharide fraction devoid of high anticoagulant effect but still retaining considerable anti-SARS-CoV-2 actions against both variants. However, compared to the oligosaccharide fraction derived from PpFucCS, the average MW of the shortest active HfFucCS oligosaccharide fraction was significantly lower. This finding suggests that the specific structural feature in HfFucCS, the branching 3,4-di-sulfated fucoses together with the backbone 4,6-di-sulfated N-acetylgalactosamines, is relevant for the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of FucCS molecules.
