Abstract
BACKGROUND Ficolin-3 is a pattern-recognition molecule with the ability to activate the lectin pathway of complement. It is found in lung, liver and blood, but its physiological role is unclear. We have investigated interaction of recombinant ficolin-3 with malignant cells and tissues. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cells of various lines of human origin as well as ovarian tissue sections have been studied with the use of flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Recombinant (but not serum-derived) ficolin-3 was found to bind strongly to the ovarian cancer cell lines, SKOV-3, OVCAR-3 and ES-2, at concentrations of 2.5 μg/ml and above. Moreover, His-tagged recombinant ficolin-3 (10 μg/ml) preferentially stained ovarian tissue sections from patients with malignant tumours compared with those from patients without. Binding to cell lines was inhibited by EDTA and specific carbohydrate ligands, indicating involvement of the fibrinogen-like domain. Binding was enhanced under mildly acidic conditions and at physiological pH after pre-incubation of cells with mildly acidic buffer. CONCLUSION Basing on data concerning recombinant protein, it may be suggested that ficolin-3 is involved in immune response in ovarian cancer. However, unidentified serum factor(s) seem(s) to protect cancer cells from recognition by natural or rficolin-3.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) is a main surface antigen and virulence factor of Gram-negative bacteria. Regardless of the source of LPS, this molecule, isolated from the smooth forms of bacteria, is characterised by a general structural layout encompassing three regions: (i) an O-specific polysaccharide (O-PS) - a polymer of repeating oligosaccharide units, (ii) core oligosaccharide (OS), and (iii) the lipid A anchoring LPS in the outer membrane of the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. Structural analysis usually requires degradation of LPS and further efficient separation of various poly- and oligosaccharide glycoforms. The hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was shown as an efficient technique for separation of labelled or native neutral and acidic glycans, glycopeptides, sialylated glycans, glycosylated and nonglycosylated peptides. Herein we adopted ZIC(®) (zwitterionic stationary phase covalently attached to porous silica)-HILIC technology in combination with electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry to separate different LPS-derived oligosaccharides. As a result three effective procedures have been developed: (i) to separate different core oligosaccharides of Escherichia coli R1 LOS, (ii) to separate RU-[Hep]-Kdo oligosaccharides from core OS glycoforms of Hafnia alvei PCM 1200 LPS, and (iii) to separate Hep and Kdo-containing mono, di-, tri- and tetrasaccharides of H. alvei PCM 1200 LPS. Moreover, some of developed analytical procedures were scaled to semi-preparative protocols and used to obtain highly-purified fractions of the interest in larger quantities required for future evaluation, analysis, and biological applications.

Abstract
Ficolin-1 (M), ficolin-2 (L), ficolin-3 (H) and mannan-binding lectin (MBL) activate the complement system and have opsonic activity. The specificity of ficolin-3 is poorly characterized and currently limited to a few ligands only. We present new specific targets for human ficolin-3, identified among lipopolysaccharides (LPSs, endotoxin) of Hafnia alvei. The interaction was restricted to LPSs of four strains: 23, Polish Collection of Microorganisms (PCM) 1200, PCM 1203 and PCM 1205 and limited to their O-specific polysaccharides (O-specific PSs) composed of different numbers of oligosaccharide (OS) repeating units (RUs). Moreover, these LPS/ficolin-3 complexes activated the lectin pathway of complement in a C4b-deposition assay in a calcium- and magnesium-dependent way. A neoglycoconjugate of the O-specific PS fraction of H. alvei 1200 LPS with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was prepared and used as a tool for the determination of ficolin-3 concentration and activity in serum. To confirm a structure of the O-specific PS 1200 selected for the conjugate preparation, structural analysis was performed on a series of O-specific PSs released by the mild acid hydrolysis of the LPS. The isolated O-specific PSs, showing the different length distributions, were devoid of a major part of the core OS region and had Hep-Kdo disaccharide at a reducing end. The neoglycoconjugate was a highly selective tool for the determination of ficolin-3 concentration and activity in serum (lectin pathway activation in the C4b deposition assay) and was not affected by MBL, ficolin-1 and ficolin-2 or natural antibodies.

Microbiol Res 2009; 164:163-73.

Abstract
Mesorhizobium loti NZP2213.1 mutant obtained after random Tn5 mutagenesis of M. loti NZP2213 was inefficient in nitrogen fixation on Lotus corniculatus. The transposon insertion was located within an ORF with a sequence similarity to a putative glycosyl transferase from Caulobacter crescentus. The results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the mutant produced LPS of the same O-chain length but only half of the entire smooth LPS, compared to that of the parental strain. A greater diversity of the anomeric region as determined by NMR spectroscopy, reflected structural differences in the mutant repeating units represented by 6-deoxytalose, 2-OAc-6-deoxytalose, and 2-OMe-6-deoxytalose. In contrast to the completely O-acetylated 6-deoxytalose in wild-type OPS only partial O-acetylation was found in the mutant. The decrease of the LPS species with O-chains seems to be correlated with 6-deoxytalose deficiency. Microscopic examination of the nodules induced by the mutant revealed disturbances in infection thread development and premature senescence of symbiosomes. The impairment of mutant-induced symbiosomes to sustain latter stages of symbiosis could be a consequence of the decreased ratio of the hydrophobic to the hydrophilic LPSs.
