Isoprostanoids quantitative profiling of marine red and brown macroalgae
Résumé
With the increasing demand for direct human and animal consumption seaweed farming is rapidly expanding worldwide. Macroalgae have colonized aquatic environments in which they are submitted to frequent changes in biotic and abiotic factors that can trigger oxidative stress (OS). Considering that isoprostanoid derivatives may constitute the most relevant OS biomarkers, we were interested to establish their profile in two red and four brown macroalgae. Seven phytoprostanes, three phytofuranes, and four isoprostanes were quantified through a new micro-LC-MS/MS method. The isoprostanoid contents vary greatly among all the samples, the ent-16(RS)-9-epi-ST-Δ14-10-PhytoF and the sum of 5-F2t-IsoP and 5-epi-5F2t-IsoP being the major compounds for most of the macroalgae studied. We further quantified these isoprostanoids in macroalgae submitted to heavy metal (copper) exposure. In most of the cases, their concentrations increased after 24 h of copper stress corroborating the original hypothesis. One exception is the decrease of ent-9-L1-PhytoP content in L. digitata.
