Abstract

Highlights: Chondroitin sulfates from sturgeon skull and sturgeon backbone were characterized. Sturgeon skull CS was primarily composed of nonsulfated disaccharide. The two CSs both had anticoagulant, anti-platelet and thrombolysis activities. Sturgeon backbone CS showed stronger antithrombotic effect than sturgeon skull CS. Abstract: Chondroitin sulfates (CSs) were extracted from sturgeon skull and backbone, and their chemical composition, anticoagulant, anti-platelet and thrombolysis activities were evaluated. The average molecular weights of CS from sturgeon skull and backbone were 38.5 kDa and 49.2 kDa, respectively. Disaccharide analysis indicated that the sturgeon backbone CS was primarily composed of disaccharide monosulfated in position four of the GalNAc (37.8%) and disaccharide monosulfated in position six of the GalNAc (59.6%) while sturgeon skull CS was primarily composed of nonsulfated disaccharide (74.2%). Sturgeon backbone CS showed stronger antithrombotic effect than sturgeon skull CS. Sturgeon backbone CS could significantly prolong activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT), inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation and dissolved platelet plasma clots in vitro . The results suggested that sturgeon backbone CS can be explored as a functional food with antithrombotic function.
