This research focuses on the proteolytic capacity of Spirulina platensis and their hypocholesterolemic activity via the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) inhibitory activity. To select suitable proteases for releasing peptides with high HMGR-inhibiting activity from S. platensis, eight commonly used commercial proteases were used in protease hydrolysis under high hydrostatic pressure (HHP, 100 MPa or 0.1 MPa) at 50 °C for 24 h. The Peptidase R group had the highest inhibitory capacity (67%). First, S. platensis was fermented with seven mixed lactic acid bacteria for 5 h at 42 °C. This was followed by the addition of Peptidase R under high hydrostatic pressure (100 MPa at 50 °C) for 0–6 h of enzymatic hydrolysis (HHP-FH-PR6) to determine the hydrolytic capacity of S. platensis protein. As the hydrolysis time extended to 6 h, the peptide content increased from 96.8 mg/mL to 339.8 mg/mL, and the free amino acid content increased from 24 mg/mL to 115.2 mg/mL, while inhibition of HMGR increased from 67.0% to 78.4%. In an experimental simulation of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, the IC50 of HHP-FH-PR6G on HMGR was 3.5 μg peptide/mL. Peptides with inhibitory activity on HMGR were purified, and their sequences were identified as Arg-Cys-Asp and Ser-Asn-Val (IC50: 6.9 and 20.1 μM, respectively).

ABSTRACT: The effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) application on whey protein concentrate was evaluated both before (pre-treatment - PT) and during (hydrolysis assisted - HA) hydrolysis processes. A factorial design 22 with 3 central points was used with pressure (100, 250, 400 MPa) and time (5, 20 and 35 minutes) as independent variables. The hydrolysis was evaluated and monitored by soluble protein, aromatic amino acid contents and RP-HPLC. ABTS and ORAC tests were used to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity. The reduction of soluble protein content was approximately 20% for conventional hydrolysis and for all PT treatments up to 4 h of reaction, while HHP assisted hydrolysis at 100 MPa showed a 35% protein reduction after 35 minutes of reaction. In addition, pressurization favored peptic hydrolysis of β-lactoglobulin by up to 98% and also improved the in vitro antioxidant capacity of the hydrolysates, which increased from 34.25 to 60.89 μmoles TE g-1 of protein in the best treatment. The results suggest that the use of HHP assisted hydrolysis favored the peptic hydrolysis, with a reduction in hydrolysis time and increased antioxidant activity.

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) technology is a physical method for inactivating tissue. We reported that nevus specimens were inactivated after HHP at 200 MPa and that the inactivated nevus could be used as autologous dermis for covering skin defects. In this study, we verified the inactivation of nevus specimens using a newly developed portable HHP device which will be used in a clinical trial. Nevus tissue specimens were obtained from 5 patients (mean age 7.2 years, range 1-19). We cultured fibroblasts and nevus cells from the tissue specimens and then evaluated their inactivation after HHP at 200 MPa by confirming the attachment of the suspensions and by the live/dead staining of the suspensions, through the dissociation of the cells on chamber slides and by the live/dead staining of the remaining cells. The cells were also quantitatively evaluated by WST-8 assay. We then confirmed the inactivation of the nevus specimens after HHP using explant culture. Our results indicated that fibroblasts and nevus cells were inactivated after HHP at 200 MPa, with the exception of a small percentage of green-colored cells, which reflected the remaining activity of the cellular esterases after HHP. No cells migrated from the nevus specimens after HHP at 200 MPa. We verified the inactivation of fibroblasts and nevus cells cultured from nevus specimens, and in the nevus samples themselves after pressurization at 200 MPa using this device. This device could be used in clinical trials for giant congenital melanocytic nevi and may thus become useful in various medical fields.
