Preparation and characterization of Sipunculus nudus peptide-calcium chelate: Structural insights and osteogenic bioactivity assessment
In order to prepare calcium supplements for efficient absorption and utilization in the human body, this study focused on synthesizing SNP-Ca by chelating Squarrosus nudus peptide (SNP) with calcium. We characterized its structure, stability, and calcium uptake properties in Caco-2 cells and its imp...

description | In order to prepare calcium supplements for efficient absorption and utilization in the human body, this study focused on synthesizing SNP-Ca by chelating Squarrosus nudus peptide (SNP) with calcium. We characterized its structure, stability, and calcium uptake properties in Caco-2 cells and its impact on osteogenic activity in vitro. Optimal preparation conditions were determined: a peptide-calcium mass ratio of 5:1, a 30-min reaction time, a temperature of 60 °C, and a pH of 7.0. Under these conditions, a calcium chelating rate of 68.32 % was achieved. Calcium binds to the peptide primarily via carboxyl oxygen and amino nitrogen atoms, and the morphology of SNP-Ca was similar to porous nanoflowers. Our cellular experiments revealed that SNP-Ca significantly increases calcium uptake in Caco-2 cells, stimulating proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization in MC3T3-E1 cells. Additionally, zebrafish larvae models showed enhanced bone formation following SNP-Ca administration. SNP-Ca has the potential of a novel calcium supplement. |
