OMICS - English-language neologism that refers to a field of study in biology.

The related suffix-OME is usually used to address the objects of study of suchfields, referring thus to international research projects.

� Genomics (if not the first, one of the first projects to be launched into biology:Human Genome Project at mid-´80s, sheep Dolly from Cloning project at mid-´90s):

- Cognitive Genomics / - Comparative Genomics / - FunctionalGenomics / - Metagenomics / - Nutritional Genomics /- Pharmacogenomics / - Toxicogenomics / - Psychogenomics /- Stem cell genomics / - Epigenomics

� Transcriptomics� Proteomics:

- Immunoproteomics / - Nutriproteomics / - Proteogenomics /- Structural Genomics / - Pharmacoproteomics

� Metabolomics� Metabonomics� Pharmacomicrobiomics� Lipidomics� Glycomics (one of the latest projects to be launched into biology, 21st century,very challenging)

INTRODUCTION: “OMICS” studies and “OME” projects

GLYCOMICS: overview

CHALLENGES: 1) Structural characterization is difficult. Structural diversity and varietyare both high, probably higher than any other biomacromolecule. Experimentation anddata interpretation are laborious. In addition, previous technology was very limited.

2) Multiple biological functions. For a long time, carbohydrates were considered just amere class of energetic and structural molecules. Biological roles have beendiscovered and reported just recently. Innumerous functions have been reported.

� Glycomics turned out to be a very extensive project. This is leading to a tendency ofsubdivision or sectorization to allow the natural flow of the project development. In fact,subprojects, and new terminologies using the suffix-OME are emerging:

FUCANOMICS & GALACTANOMICS: overview

� Sulfated fucans (SFs): marine polysaccharides composed predominantly or essentiallyof α-L-fucopyranosyl units. Usually highly sulfated. Example: Fucoidan

Occurrence:

- cell wall of brown macroalgae- egg jelly coat of sea urchins- body wall of sea cucumber

Function:

- structural component of the extracellular matrices of the above-mentionedtissues- triggers the acrosome reaction in sea urchins through a specie-specific way

� Sulfated galactans (SGs): marine polysaccharides composed essentially of α-L-, α-D-,β-D-galactopyranoses. Usually highly sulfated. Examples: Carrageenans and Agarans

Occurrence:

- cell wall of green/red macroalgae- egg jelly coat of sea urchins- body wall of ascidians

Function:

- structural component of the extracellular matrices of the above-mentionedtissues- triggers the acrosome reaction in sea urchins through a specie-specific way

Laboratories Worldwide: Brazil (CE, RN, RJ, SP, RS), Argentina, USA, Russia, China, Italy, France and Japan.

FUCANOMICS & GALACTANOMICS: 1ST CONCLUSIONS

� SFs and SGs are essentially found in marine organisms such as macroalgae, seaurchins and sea cucumbers, and ascidians.

� Unlike algal SFs and SGs, the invertebrate molecules have well-defined chemicalstructures which allow accurate and advanced structure-function relationships.

� Although SFs and SGs may exhibit many clinical activities, the mechanisms of actionsare known just for inflammation, coagulation/thrombosis and tumoral angiogenesis.

� In inflammation, SGs and SFs can block chemokines, P- and L-selectins. In hemostasis,they block the factors IIa and Xa. In tumoral angiogenesis, they inhibit VEGF and bFGF.

� 2-sulfated 3-linked α-galactan is an anticoagulant polysaccharides, whereas 2-sulfated3-linked α-fucan is not. Their conformational binding preference to serpins are different.

�2,4-di-sulfation and maybe 4-sulfation in 3-linked α-SFs have shown a benefitial effect onthe anticoagulation, whereas 2-sulfation alone is certainly deleterious. Ongoing NMRrelaxation studies will facilitate further explanations.

� Our dataset strongly support the the fact that the clinical actions of SFs and SGs arenot a mere consequence of sulfation degrees, but intimately correlated to specificfeatures: anomeric configuration, monosaccharide type, sulfation positions or patterns,glycosylation position, molecular weights, and so forth.

FUCANOMICS & GALACTANOMICS: 2rd CONCLUSIONS

� Unlike the SG from B. occidentalis, the recently characterized SG from A. muscoides isstructurally very complex and heterogeneous. Besides sulfation at different positions,anhydro sugars and methyl ethers are also observed;

� The MW of B. occidentalis was reduced to allow a comparative study in terms ofstructure-function relationships in anticoagulation and antithrombosis with the naturallow-MW of A. muscoides;

� The native SG from B. occidentalis has high anticoagulant activity due to its significantactivity on serpins (AT and HCII) and proteases (mostly thrombin). It also shows highserpin-independent anticoagulant activity. The low-MW form lost both activities. SG fromA. muscoides has just no anticoagulant activity regardless the plasma type.

� SG from A. muscoides is curiously a potent antithrombotic agent at the arterial model,whereas the one from B. occidentalis is not. Both red algal SGs are antithrombotic at thevenous model, however, at only small doses. SG from B. occidentalis is prothrombotic athigher doses due to its capacity in activate factor XII.

� As opposed to heparin which is highly hemorragic, neither one of the red algal SGshave shown this side effect.

� Through this comparative study using red algal SGs, we have dissociated theanticoagulant (both serpin-dependent and serpin-independent), antithrombotic (botharterial and venous) and hemorragic effects, as compared with the standard heparin.
