RESUMEN
The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of sulfated fucopolysaccharides isolated from Fucus vesiculosus on cell lines HeLa G-63, Hep G2 and Chang liver. Native fucoidan F3 and two fractions (F3-0.5 and F3-1), obtained by anion-exchange chromatography, were analyzed using chemical methods and IR-spectroscopy. Their action on cells demonstrates that F3 and F3-1, characterized by higher content of sulfates, preferable location of sulfo-groups at C4 atom of fucose residue and low content of uronic acids, inhibit cell proliferation more efficiently. Human liver tumor cells Hep G2 appeared to be the most sensitive to fucoidan treatment whereas nonmalignant human cells Chang liver were the least sensitive.

The aim of the research was to investigate cytotoxicity of fucoidans on mammals cells. Three different samples of fucoidans were isolated from mechanically grounded brown algae Laminaria digitata and Fucus ve- siculosus. The sample F2 that differed from the others by higher sulfatation level and suppression of HeLa G-63 line culture growth was taken for further study in cell lines HeLa G-63, ECV 304 and PC 12. We have shown that fucoidan preparation F2 inhibits proliferation and induces cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner for all investigated cell lines. Neuroendocrine tumor rat cell line PC 12 appeared to be the most sensitive to fucoidan treatment whereas endothelial human cells ECV 304 were the least sensitive.
