AB  - Blue C-phycocyanin (C-PC), the major Spirulina protein with innumerable
health-promoting benefits, is an attractive colourant and food supplement. A crucial obstacle to its
more extensive use is its relatively low stability. This study aimed to screen various food-derived
ligands for their ability to bind and stabilise C-PC, utilising spectroscopic techniques and molecular
docking. Among twelve examined ligands, the protein fluorescence quenching revealed that
only quercetin, coenzyme Q10 and resveratrol had a moderate affinity to C-PC (Ka of 2.2 to 3.7 × 105
M–1). Docking revealed these three ligands bind more strongly to the C-PC hexamer than the trimer,
with the binding sites located at the interface of two (αβ)3 trimers. UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy
demonstrated the changes in the C-PC absorption spectra in a complex with quercetin
and resveratrol compared to the spectra of free protein and ligands. Selected ligands did not affect
the secondary structure content, but they induced changes in the tertiary protein structure in the
CD study. A fluorescence-based thermal stability assay demonstrated quercetin and coenzyme Q10
increased the C-PC melting point by nearly 5 °C. Our study identified food-derived ligands that
interact with C-PC and improve its thermal stability, indicating their potential as stabilising agents
for C-PC in the food industry.

AB  - In previous publications, we pointed out the importance of mannosylation of fibrinogen for the development of cardiovascular complications and fucosylation as a predictor of peritoneal membrane dysfunction in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). After a follow-up period of 30 months from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated the significance of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) therapy, primary disease, biochemical and hematologic analyzes, and previously performed glycan analysis by lectin-based microarray as predictors of mortality in this patient group. After univariate Cox regression analysis, diabetes mellitus (DM) and calcitriol therapy were found to be potential predictors of mortality. Additional multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that only DM was a predictor of mortality. Nevertheless, the use of calcitriol in therapy significantly reduced mortality in this patient group, as shown by the Kaplan–Meier survival curve. The presence of DM as a concomitant disease proved to be a strong predictor of fatal outcome in PD patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This is the first study to indicate the importance and beneficial effect of calcitriol therapy on survival in PD patients with COVID-19 infection. In addition, this study points to the possibility that adverse thrombogenic events observed in PD patients during the pandemic may be caused by aberrant fibrinogen glycosylation.

AB  - As we already reported, fibrinogen fucosylation emerged as a prognostic marker of peritoneal
membrane function in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on peritoneal dialysis. After a
follow-up period of 18 months, we estimated the ability of employed lectins, as well as other biochemical
parameters, to serve as mortality predictors in these patients. Following a univariate Cox
regression analysis, ferritin, urea clearance, residual diuresis, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the
signal intensity obtained with Galanthus nivalis lectin (GNL) emerged as potential mortality predictors,
but additional multivariate Cox regression analysis pointed only to glucose concentration
and GNL as mortality predictors. Higher signal intensity obtained with GNL in patients that died
suggested the importance of paucimannosidic/highly mannosidic N-glycan structures on fibrinogen
as factors that are related to unwanted cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality and can possibly
be seen as a prediction tool. Altered glycan structures composed of mannose residues are expected
to affect the reactivity of mannosylated glycoproteins with mannose-binding lectin and possibly
the entire cascade of events linked to this lectin. Since patients with ESRD are prone to cardiovascular
complications and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, one can hypothesize that fibrinogen
with increasingly exposed mannose residues may contribute to the unwanted events.
