In this study, the AILQSYSAGKTK (named AK-12) peptide, also known as AK-12, from the Synechococcus marine microalgae cell extract is examined to determine the mechanism by which tyrosinase inhibition takes place. According to the docking simulation, it is expected that the peptides bind and interact at the tyrosinase active site, with the potential to support the inhibition of tyrosinase. For testing, the required peptides were first synthesized, before the results revealed tyrosinase inhibitory activity for which the respective IC<inf>50</inf> values for mono- and di-phenolase activities were 489.71 ± 0.01 μM, and 765.57 ± 0.01 μM. The characteristics of the different competitive types were shown in a Lineweaver-Burk plot. For the treatment of B16F10 cells, peptide concentrations of 50–400 μM were selected, confirming the absence of cytotoxicity. When the peptide was introduced, both tyrosinase activity and the production of melanin were significantly inhibited. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was then used to assess the suppression of melanin synthesis in MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, TYR (tyrosinase), TRP-1 (tyrosinase-related protein-1) and TRP-2 (tyrosinase-related protein-2). An in vivo toxicity assay was also carried out to evaluate zebrafish embryo cell death, revealing that AK-12 did not significantly affect cell death, while strong anti-melanogenic activity was observed for the concentration of 50 μM. From these findings it could be concluded that the peptide in question may offer potential in future hyperpigmentation treatments.

Marine microalgae including Synechococcus sp. VDW offer the potential to serve as a source of bioactive peptides offering valuable antioxidant and antimelanogenic qualities for use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. At present, however, the use of such peptides is challenging due to their poor physicochemical stability. This research therefore sought to achieve the production and characterization of a stable nanoemulsion system based upon the use of synthetic Synechococcus-derived peptides through the process of high-pressure homogenization (HPH). Preparation of the nanoemulsions involved the use of Tween-80 and caprylic/capric triglyceride at a pressure of 7,500 psi to perform homogenization for varying durations of 15, 30 and 45 min. Using the optimized formulation with 0.1% w/w peptide for a time of 45 min resulted in 122.16 nm droplets while the zeta potential was −80.09 mV and the PDI (polydispersity index) value was 0.13. Colloidal stability could be considered high, while physical stability under thermal cycling, centrifugation and freeze-thaw cycles was very good, with no phase separation. For all testing intervals, the viscosity and refractive index were stable. It can thus be argues that the HPH approach is suitable to produce peptide-loaded nanoemulsions offering good stability and useful physicochemical characteristics. The developed nanoemulsion system has been optimized to offer potential for applications involving the transdermal delivery of marine peptides in the cosmeceutical sector and for a range of dermal therapies.

This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of bioactive peptides derived from Synechococcus sp. VDW cells cultured for 21 days. Synechococcus sp. VDW protein hydrolysates were prepared with trypsin and purified by ultrafiltration with molecular mass cut-off membranes of 10, 5 and 3 kDa. The M<3 kDa (FA) fraction had the highest 2,2'-azino- bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities, with IC50 values of (11.5±0.3) and (13.6±0.2) μg/ mL, respectively. The FA fraction was separated by reversed phase HPLC to yield four subfractions (F1-4). The F4 subfraction showed the highest maximum ABTS radical scavenging activity (3.55±0.61) % and it was selected for further analysis by electrospray ionisation quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS) based on de novo peptide sequencing. Five antioxidant peptides were identified, of which AILESYSAGKTK had the highest ABTS radical scavenging activity. Furthermore, the FA fraction showed high cytotoxic activities against human cancer-derived cell lines, especially the colon cancer cell line (SW620) with an IC50 value of (106.6±21.5) μg/mL, but not the untransformed Wi38 cell line. The FA fraction activated the apoptotic pathway in SW620 cells after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h, with the highest activities of caspases-3, -8 and -9 being observed after treatment for 72 h. These findings suggested that microalgae Synechococcus sp. VDW may be used to develop natural anticancer drugs.

The Synechococcus sp. VDW peptides were prepared by trypsin digestion, which was then purified by ultrafiltration with molecular weight cut off membranes of 10, 5 and 3 kDa. Among the fractions, the MW <3 kDa fraction exhibited high levels of inhibitory activity toward the NO radical scavenging activities with IC<inf>50</inf> values of 34.51 ± 9.8 μg/mL. The MW <3 kDa fraction was purified by reversed-phase HPLC to yield four fractions. The 30–40 min sub-fraction with maximum NO radical scavenging activity (77.50 ± 0.55%) was selected for further analysis by Q-TOF ESI mass spectrometry. Five isolated peptides with amino acid sequences of AILQSYSAGKTK; 1,265.69 Da, ALNKTHLIQTK; 1,265.74 Da, LLVHAPVK; 875.55 Da, IPDAHPVK; 875.48 Da, and VVVLRDGAVQQLGTPR; 1,706.97 Da were identified. The MW <3 kDa fraction showed no cytotoxicity toward RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Quantitative RT-PCR results showed that the MW <3 kDa fraction reduced gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines iNOS, TNF-α, COX-2, and IL-6. The peptides isolated from the MW <3 kDa fractions represent potential model peptides to develop natural anti-inflammation food-grade ingredients, drugs, and cosmetic products.

This study offers an examination of the physicochemical qualities of marine microalgae-derived sulfated polysaccharides (MMPS) from Synechococcus sp. VDW along with an investigation of their antioxidant and antitumor activities. On average, MMPS offered a molecular weight of 190.94 kDa with sulfate content of 16.83 %. There were shown to be four different monosaccharides contained within MMPS. The anticancer characteristics of human colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2) were also investigated. Flow cytometry revealed that MMPS triggered apoptosis at doses of 1 mg mL−1. Meanwhile, analysis of gene and apoptosis protein expression demonstrated that MMPS increased apoptosis in Caco-2 cells via the p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways. These findings contribute to our current understanding of how MMPS helps promote tumor suppression. In conclusion, the possibility that MMPS may possess anticancer qualities in the treatment of human colon cancer makes it an appealing candidate for anticancer polysaccharide combinations with chemotherapeutic agents and functional foods.

To investigate the potential of application of marine cyanobacterium for concurrent biomass production and ammonium removal, Synechococcus sp. VDW was cultured under different conditions in medium containing varying concentrations of NH <inf>4</inf> Cl. Response surface methodology (RSM) was then used to build a predictive model of the combined effects of independent variables (pH, inoculum size, ammonium concentration). At the optimum conditions of initial pH 7.4, inoculum size 0.17 (OD730) and ammonium concentration 10.5 mg L –1 , the maximum ammonium removal and biomass productivity were about 95% and 34 mg L –1 d –1 , respectively, after seven days of cultivation. The result of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis showed that the major fatty acids were palmitic acid (C16:0), linoleic acid (C18:2 n6 cis), palmitoleic acid (C16:1) and oleic acid (C18:1 n9 cis), which accounted for more than 80% weight of total fatty acids. Further, analysis of neutral lipid accumulation using flow cytometry revealed that the mean of the fluorescence intensity increased under optimal conditions. These results indicate that Synechococcus sp. VDW has the potential for use for concurrent water treatment and production of biomass that can be applied as biofuel feedstock.

Nitrogen-rich wastewater is a major problem for the aquaculture industry. To investigate whether algae could be used to remove ammonium from brackish shrimp aquaculture wastewater, marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. VDW was cultured in BG11 medium supplemented with Turks Island salt solution and different concentrations of NH<inf>4</inf>Cl (1.0–40.0 mg L−1) for 18 days. The cell density of the Synechococcus sp. VDW cultures increased in medium containing between 1 and 10 mg L−1 of NH<inf>4</inf>Cl, while ammonium concentrations greater than 20.0 mg L−1 had a negative effect on growth. Glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase activities were also examined, and were found to increase with cell density. Meanwhile, glutamate dehydrogenase activity increased in response to high NH<inf>4</inf>Cl concentrations (20.0–40.0 mg L−1). The cellular response to ammonium excess was confirmed by measuring gene expression levels using quantitative PCR. Expression of both glnA and gltB was down-regulated compared with the control, while that of gdhA was up-regulated. At an initial concentration of 1–10 mg L−1, 98–100% of the ammonium was removed by day 6 of cultivation. Therefore, these findings suggest that Synechococcus sp. VDW can remove ammonium from contaminated brackish water, and may be helpful for improving the quality of aquaculture wastewater.
