Previous issue date: 2011-07-08 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Fucan is a term used to denominate L-fucose rich sulfated polysaccharides. The fucans have been studied due their pharmacological activities like antithrombotic, antiproliferative and antioxidant. We have extracted three fucan fractions from the brown seaweed Spatoglossum schr?ederi. These fucans were denominated Fuc B 1, Fuc B 1.5 and Fuc B 2. The chemical analyzes show that the fucans have very similar composition as demonstrated by agarose electrophoresis gel, sugar and sulfate content. The antiproliferative effect was determined by MTT and BrdU methodologies in CHO cells. The inhibition of proliferation effect of the three fractions was about 40%. Therefore this we proceed just with the Fuc B 2 due the higher yield. There is no apoptosis indication using the anexin V/propidium iodide test. We found a cell cycle phase G1 arrest. The western blotting show that the PKC; pFAK; pERK 1/2 are activated when the cells were treated with fucans. The treatement with inhibitor of MAPK PD98059 extinguished the fucan effect. These results indicates that fucan act by the ERK pathway inducing the cell death. / Fucana ? um termo utilizado para denominar polissacar?deos sulfatados ricos em L-Fucose. As fucanas t?m sido estudadas devido suas atividades farmacol?gicas: antitromb?tica, antiproliferativa e antioxidante. N?s extra?mos tr?s fra??es de fucanas da alga Spatoglossum schr?ederi. Essas fucanas, denominadas de Fuc B 1, Fuc B 1.5 e Fuc B 2, apresentam uma composi??o muito similar como demonstrado pela eletroforese em gel de agarose, e conte?do de a??car e sulfato. O efeito antiproliferativo foi determinado pelas metodologias de MTT e BrdU em c?lulas CHO. O efeito na inibi??o da prolifera??o das tr?s fra??es foi de cerca de 40%. Assim, procedemos somente com a Fuc B 2 devido seu maior rendimento. N?o houve indica??o de apoptose usando a marca??o com anexina V-FITC/ Iodeto de Prop?deo. Identificamos uma parada na fase G1 do ciclo celular. Os ensaios de western blotting mostraram que PKC, pFAK e pERK 1/2 s?o ativadas quando as c?lulas s?o tratadas com Fuc B. O tratamento com o inibidor de MAPK PD98059 aboliu o efeito da fucana. Esses efeitos indicam que a fucana age via ERK para inibir a prolifera??o das c?lulas.
