Abstract: Jellyfish venom is a rich source of bioactive proteins and peptides with various biological activities including antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumor effects. However, the anti-proliferative activity of the crude extract of Rhopilema nomadica jellyfish venom has not been examined yet. The present study aimed at the investigation of the in vitro effect of R. nomadica venom on liver cancer cells (HepG2), breast cancer cells (MDA-MB231), human normal fibroblast (HFB4), and human normal lung cells (WI-38) proliferation by using MTT assay. The apoptotic cell death in HepG2 cells was investigated using Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining-based flow cytometry analysis, western blot analysis, and DNA fragmentation assays. R. nomadica venom displayed significant Citation: Tawfik, M.M.; Eissa, N.; dose-dependent cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells after 48 h of treatment with IC50 value of 50 µg/mL Althobaiti, F.; Fayad, E.; Abu Almaaty, and higher toxicity (3:5-fold change) against MDA-MB231, HFB4, and WI-38 cells.

  • Cyanea Capillata
    Cardiovascular Effect Is Independent of Hemolytic Toxicity of Tentacle-Only Extract from the Jellyfish Cyanea capillata Xiao Liang1., Wang Beilei1., Li Ying2., Wang Qianqian1, Liu Sihua1, Wang Yang3, Liu Guoyan1,LuJia1, Ye Xuting4*, Zhang Liming1* 1 Department of Chemical Defense Medicine, Faculty of Naval Medicine, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China, 2 School of Nursing, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China, 3 Department of Pathology, Changhai Hospital, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China, 4 Department of Biophysics, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China Abstract Our previous studies have confirmed that the crude tentacle-only extract (cTOE) from the jellyfish Cyanea capillata (Cyaneidae) exhibits hemolytic and cardiovascular toxicities simultaneously. So, it is quite difficult to discern the underlying active component responsible for heart injury caused by cTOE. The inactivation of the hemolytic toxicity from cTOE accompanied with a removal of plenty of precipitates would facilitate the separation of cardiovascular component and the investigation of its cardiovascular injury mechanism. In our research, after the treatment of one-step alkaline denaturation followed by twice dialysis, the protein concentration of the treated tentacle-only extract (tTOE) was about 1/3 of cTOE, and SDS-PAGE showed smaller numbers and lower density of protein bands in tTOE. The hemolytic toxicity of tTOE was completely lost while its cardiovascular toxicity was well retained. The observations of cardiac function, histopathology and ultrastructural pathology all support tTOE with significant cardiovascular toxicity. Blood gas indexes and electrolytes changed far less by tTOE than those by cTOE, though still with significant difference from normal. In summary, the cardiovascular toxicity of cTOE can exist independently of the hemolytic toxicity and tTOE can be employed as a better venom sample for further purification and mechanism research on the jellyfish cardiovascular toxic proteins.

  • Life Cycle of Chrysaora Fuscescens (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) and a Key to Sympatric Ephyrae1
    Life Cycle of Chrysaora fuscescens (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) and a Key to Sympatric Ephyrae1 Chad L. Widmer2 Abstract: The life cycle of the Northeast Pacific sea nettle, Chrysaora fuscescens Brandt, 1835, is described from gametes to the juvenile medusa stage. In vitro techniques were used to fertilize eggs from field-collected medusae. Ciliated plan- ula larvae swam, settled, and metamorphosed into scyphistomae. Scyphistomae reproduced asexually through podocysts and produced ephyrae by undergoing strobilation. The benthic life history stages of C. fuscescens are compared with benthic life stages of two sympatric species, and a key to sympatric scyphome- dusa ephyrae is included. All observations were based on specimens maintained at the Monterey Bay Aquarium jelly laboratory, Monterey, California. The Northeast Pacific sea nettle, Chry- tained at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Mon- saora fuscescens Brandt, 1835, ranges from terey, California, for over a decade, with Mexico to British Columbia and generally ap- cultures started by F. Sommer, D. Wrobel, pears along the California and Oregon coasts B. B. Upton, and C.L.W. However the life in late summer through fall (Wrobel and cycle remained undescribed.

Academic Editor: Bryan Grieg Fry Received: 2 June 2017; Accepted: 3 July 2017; Published: 7 July 2017 Abstract: Lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) stings cause severe pain and can lead to dangerous systemic effects, including Irukandji-like syndrome. As is the case for most cnidarian stings, recommended medical protocols in response to such stings lack rigorous scientific support. In this study, we sought to evaluate potential first aid care protocols using previously described envenomation models that allow for direct measurements of venom activity. We found that seawater rinsing, the most commonly recommended method of tentacle removal for this species, induced significant increases in venom delivery, while rinsing with vinegar or Sting No More® Spray did not.

Cubozoan toxicity has been attributed to the presence and abundance of cnidarian-specific pore- forming toxins called jellyfish toxins (JFTs), which are highly hemolytic and cardiotoxic. However, JFTs have also been found in other cnidarians outside of Cubozoa, and no comprehensive analysis of their phylogenetic distribution has been conducted to date. Here, we present a thorough annotation of JFTs from 147 cnidarian transcriptomes and document 111 novel putative JFTs from over 20 species within Medusozoa. Phylogenetic analyses show that JFTs form two distinct clades, which we call JFT-1 and JFT-2. JFT-1 includes all known potent cubozoan toxins, as well as hydrozoan and scyphozoan representatives, some of which were derived from medically relevant species. JFT-2 contains primarily uncharacterized JFTs.

  • Impact of Scyphozoan Venoms on Human Health and Current First Aid Options for Stings
    toxins Review Impact of Scyphozoan Venoms on Human Health and Current First Aid Options for Stings Alessia Remigante 1,2, Roberta Costa 1, Rossana Morabito 2 ID , Giuseppa La Spada 2, Angela Marino 2 ID and Silvia Dossena 1,* ID 1 Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Paracelsus Medical University, Strubergasse 21, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria; [email protected] (A.R.); [email protected] (R.C.) 2 Department of Chemical, Biological, Pharmaceutical and Environmental Sciences, University of Messina, Viale F. Stagno D'Alcontres 31, I-98166 Messina, Italy; [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (G.L.S.); [email protected] (A.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +43-662-2420-80564 Received: 10 February 2018; Accepted: 21 March 2018; Published: 23 March 2018 Abstract: Cnidaria include the most venomous animals of the world. Among Cnidaria, Scyphozoa (true jellyfish) are ubiquitous, abundant, and often come into accidental contact with humans and, therefore, represent a threat for public health and safety. The venom of Scyphozoa is a complex mixture of bioactive substances—including thermolabile enzymes such as phospholipases, metalloproteinases, and, possibly, pore-forming proteins—and is only partially characterized. Scyphozoan stings may lead to local and systemic reactions via toxic and immunological mechanisms; some of these reactions may represent a medical emergency. However, the adoption of safe and efficacious first aid measures for jellyfish stings is hampered by the diffusion of folk remedies, anecdotal reports, and lack of consensus in the scientific literature. Species-specific differences may hinder the identification of treatments that work for all stings.
