Distribution, Typical Structure and Self-Assembly Properties of Collagen from Fish Skin and Bone
The source and type of collagen are crucial to its application, and both play a decisive role. Collagen was prepared from both tilapia skin and bone and skate skin and cartilage, named as CI-TI-s, CI-TI-b, CI-SK-s, and CII-SK-c, respectively. Types, distributions, structures, and self-assembly of collagen were studied. It showed that yellow collagen fibers from skin arranged longitudinally, while collagen fibers from skate cartilages displayed varying colors. CI-TI-s, CI-TI-b, CI-SK-s, and CII-SK-c showed the typical amide A (3316–3336 cm−1) and amide B (2929–2948 cm−1) in FTIR spectra. CI-TI-b and CII-SK-c showed 218–229 nm of UV absorption, 11.56–12.20 Å of d values in XRD, and 0.12–0.14 of Rpn values in CD. The thermal denaturation temperatures of CI-TI-s and CI-SK-s were 30.7 and 20.6 °C, respectively. The self-assembly of CI-TI-s and CII-SK-c were maximum at pH 7.2 and 7.4–7.6, respectively. The unique collagen peptides of tilapia and skate were GPSGPQGAVGATGPK, PAMPVPGPMGPMGPR, SPAMPVPGPMGPMGPR, GESGPSGPAGPAGPAGVR, SSGPPVPGPIGPMGPR, GLTGPIGVPGPPGAQGEK, GLAGPQGPR, and GLSGDPGVQGIK, respectively. The unique peptides of type I and type II collagen were GPTGEIGATGLAGAR, GVLGLTGMR, LGLTGMR, GEPGAAGPAGPSGPMGPR, SSGPPVPGPIGPMGPR, and GLSGDPGVQGIK, respectively.

Alginate Oligosaccharides Prevent Dextran-Sulfate-Sodium-Induced Ulcerative Colitis via Enhancing Intestinal Barrier Function and Modulating Gut Microbiota
Alginate oligosaccharides are degradation products of alginate and have attracted increasing attention due to their versatile biological functions. In the present study, C57BL/6 mice were used to assess the ameliorative effects and mechanisms of guluronate oligosaccharides (GAOS), mannuronic oligosaccharides (MAOS), and heterozygous alginate oligosaccharides (HAOS), which are the three alginate oligosaccharides of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis. The study showed that alginate oligosaccharides alleviated pathological histological damage by slowing down weight loss, inhibiting colonic length shortening, and reducing disease activity index (DAI) and histopathological scores. Alginate oligosaccharides modulated the colonic inflammatory response by reducing colonic MPO levels and downregulating the expression of IL-6 and IL-1β. Alginate oligosaccharides reduced intestinal permeability and reversed intestinal barrier damage by increasing the number of goblet cells, decreasing LPS levels, downregulating Bax protein levels, upregulating Bcl-2 protein levels, and enhancing the expression of the E-cadherin. Furthermore, alginate oligosaccharides modulated the composition of the gut microbiota and restored the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially acetate and butyrate. In conclusion, our study provides a scientific basis for the role of alginate oligosaccharides in relieving ulcerative colitis.
