Algal polysaccharide activates macrophages to alter physiologic biomarkers to drive the immunomodulatory phenotype, but it lacks specific biomarkers involved in the biochemical underpinning process. Here, we undertook an extensive analysis of the RAW 264.7 macrophages induced by an immunostimulating sulfated polysaccharide from Caulerpa racemosa var. peltata (CRVP-1) employing combined transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses to reveal the molecular details occurring in the CRVP-1-induced immunomodulatory process. The omics profiling of CRVP-1-activated macrophage demonstrated a total of 8844 genes (4354 downregulated and 4490 upregulated), 1243 proteins (620 downregulated and 623 upregulated), and 68 metabolites (52 downregulated and16 upregulated). Further, the co-mapped correlation network of omics combined with Western blot and immunofluorescence staining indicated that the cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) might assist Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) involved in nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway to drive the immunomodulatory phenotype. Together, our results discover novel physiologic biomarkers in the immunomodulatory activities of algal polysaccharides.

Human melanoma is linked with aging-related disorders, prompting interest in the development of functional foods derived from natural ingredients to mitigate its incidence. Molecules in green seaweeds such as Caulerpa racemosa can serve this purpose due to their anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties. A previous work study compounds profiling has been carried out, and in this research the molecular docking studies targeting receptors associated with melanoma (GRP78, IRE1, BRAF) and aging (mTOR, AMPK, SIRT1) identified four promising compound in an extract of C.
