The polysaccharides (AVP) was obtained from abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino) viscera, using the alkaline protease to enzymolysis, sevage method and repeated freezing and thawing method to remove protein and hydrogen peroxide method to depigment. The total sugar content was 46.27±1.5% and uronic acid, sulfate radical, hexosamine and protein contents were 17.44±0.22%, 16.98±0.15%, 0.65±0.02% and 1.64±0.13% in AVP respectively. The main monosaccharide compositions of AVP were d-galactose, d-xylose, d-mannose, d-glucose and d-glucuronic acid. MTT assay showed AVP had a significant anti-tumor activity to gastric carcinoma cells, especially to MGC 803, while it had no influence upon proliferation of normal stomach cells GES 1. The results of Morphological changes, cell migration ability and AO/EB staining indicated that MGC803 cells underwent apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner induced by AVP. Moreover, the western blotting results showed that the expressions of survivin, Bcl-2 and VEGF were decreased, while the expression of Bax and p53 were increased in a dose-dependent manner of AVP. The results suggested that AVP might be a potential anti-tumor agent securely and naturally.

Asymmetric development, in which functional differences occur between left-right symmetrical organs, is widespread in organisms, including fish and mollusks. However, the asymmetry of symmetrical sensory structures in Haliotis discus hannai, a gastropod with a sensitive sensory system, remains unknown. This study analyzed the transcriptomes of three sensory structures (eyestalks, cephalic tentacles, and epipodial tentacles) to explore potential asymmetries in this species.

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia remains a major disease threatening global public health. The morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases have been increasing. The inhibition of 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), a key enzyme in the cholesterol synthesis pathway, can effectively reduce cholesterol levels.

The present study explores the x-box binding protein 1 (xbp1) gene in Haliotis discus hannai (Pacific abalone), focusing on its structure, expression, and functional role under heat stress. Southern blot revealed two copies of xbp1 in the intestine and mantle, one in the gill and muscle, and no detection in the digestive gland. mRNA expression level of xbp1 was highest in the gill, followed by the mantle, intestine, and muscle, with the digestive gland showing the lowest expression.

Few studies are concerned with the effect of the conjugat protein on the bioactivities of the abalone gonad polysaccharide (AGP). In this study, a series of treatments, including raw material (female and male) defatting, extraction temperature (25-121 °C), proteolysis, ultrafiltration, and ethanol precipitation, was conducted to investigate the role of the conjugate protein on AGP anticoagulant activity. All AGP extracts significantly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT).
