Three blue whiting, three cod, three plaice and one salmon hydrolysates were identified as significant growth inhibitors on the two cancer cell lines. Preliminaryanalysis of hydrolysates composition evidenced they contained a complex mixture of free amino acids, peptides with various sizes ranging up to7 kDa and in a lower proportion, lipids and sodium chloride. RP-HPLC fractionation of fish hydrolysates is currently undertaken to purifyanticancer peptides, lipids or other bioactive trace compounds responsible for this antiproliferative activity.

2.2. Fish protein hydrolysates preparation and analysis The data were analyzed to calculate the percentage of growth inhibition inducedby the presence of FPH in cell culture medium determined by the equation: Fish proteins were purified from fresh filleting by-products or headed and gutted by-catches using the pH-shift extraction method based on the solubility of myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins at extreme acid and alkaline pH. Fish muscle was minced, prewashed with water and centrifuged (3000 Â g,10 min). The resulting pellet was dissolved in water (1:6, w:v) and pH was where ODFPH, ODlysis and ODcontrol are optical densities, respectively measured adjusted with NaOH 1 M at 10.8, to solubilize myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic for cells grown in culture medium containing FPH 1 g LÀ1, SDS 1% or PBS only.

Molecular weight distributions of FPH peptides weredetermined using SEC in FPLC mode on a Superdex Peptide HR 10/30 column(Pharmacia, fractionation range: 7000–100 Da) with a Waters 600 automated gradient controller pump and a Waters 996 DAD. The mobile phase (isocratic)consisted of MilliQ water-TFA 0.1% and acetonitrile (70:30) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL minÀ1. Hydrolysates were dissolved in mobile phase to 5 g LÀ1 andsterile filtered. Sample size was 40 mL (200 mg of hydrolysate) and peptideswere detected at 220 nm. Millenium software was used to collect, plot and shows the composition of FPH. Most hydrolysates process the chromatographic data.

Antiproliferative activity of fish hydrolysates acids and peptides ranging up to an approximate maximal length In order to perform a screening of the antiproliferative activities of FPH on cancer cells grown in optimal conditions (cell culture medium containing FCS growth factors), a relatively high concentration of fish hydrolysate (1 g LÀ1)was assayed.

The same dilution was prepared replacing FPHstock solution by PBS (control culture medium) or SDS 10% in PBS (lysis As depicted in Blue whiting 3–5, cod, plaice and medium, SDS 2%). Using a multichannel pipettor, 50 mL of each medium were Salmon 2 hydrolysates exerted a significant antiproliferative L.

Presence of anticancer peptides in fish hydrolysates Addition of FPH to a final concentration of 1 g LÀ1 in cell culture medium, compared with the control growth conditions (PBS in cell culture medium), constitutes a supply of nitrogen sources, amino acids, peptides and vitamins that could be used by cancer cells as growth promoting factors, as previously observed in models of gastro-intestinal cell injury and repair .
Conversely, the presence of Blue whiting 3–5, cod, plaice and Salmon 2 hydrolysates in the cell culture medium induced a significant inhibition of cancer cells growth. To identify the nature of molecules responsible for this activity and understand if the process used to prepare FPH could explain and influence the biological activity, a tentative of correlation between activity and FPH composition was made. Blue whiting 3–5 were of particular interest as they contained 96% of peptide-nitrogen material, a content 20% higher than for the rest of the hydrolysates. This observation suggests that the antiproliferative activity could be ND: non-determined. Total percentage can be superior to 100% when a source related to the presence of specific peptides exerting a direct of nitrogen different from proteins is present in the hydrolysate (e.g. urea in siki cytotoxicity on cancer cells, as previously reported for valorphin, a haemoglobin derived peptide , or for an anchovyhydrophobic peptide, able to induce apoptosis in human U937lymphoma cells through the increase of caspases activity activity at 1 g LÀ1.

These values were in antagonists of FCS growth factors receptors. No clear correlation the range of those measured in the presence of etoposide, between degree of hydrolysis and antiproliferative activity was roscovitine or kenpaullone 10À6 M (data not shown) which determined. An identical enzymatic hydrolysis process applied exerted a moderate antiproliferative activity on cancer cells.

MDA-MB-231, classed as a highly invasive breast the three cod hydrolysates, the three plaice hydrolysates or Blue cancer cell line, was usually less sensitive to a fish hydrolysate whiting 1–3 hydrolysates.

This observation is in accordance with plaice hydrolysates), displaying equivalent global composition previous data reported when the two cells lines were grown in and hydrolysis degree, exerted equivalent antiproliferative the presence of antiproliferative thiazolocarbazoles analogues activity. Conversely, in spite of comparable global compositions and molecular weight profiles, Blue whiting 3 exerted a highantiproliferative activity, while Blue whiting 1 and 2 had no activity. This variation of activity remains to be clearly explainedas the only difference in between these hydrolysates is the blue 4.1. Relationship between antiproliferative activity and fish whiting batch, and no modification of the process (temperature, enzyme) can account for the variation in their activity.

These molecules are peptides of defined molecular weight. Moreover, slight usually obtained from fixed animals such as corals, sponges and variations in the hydrolysis process led to high variations in ascidians, which protect themselves from predation by bioactivity, thus confirming the need to accurately control the synthesizing potent cytotoxic molecules.
