Impact of sialic acids on the molecular dynamic of bi-antennary and tri-antennary glycans. Sci Rep 2016; 6:35666.

Abstract
Sialic acids (SA) are monosaccharides that can be located at the terminal position of glycan chains on a wide range of proteins. The post-translational modifications, such as N-glycan chains, are fundamental to protein functions. Indeed, the hydrolysis of SA by specific enzymes such as neuraminidases can lead to drastic modifications of protein behavior. However, the relationship between desialylation of N-glycan chains and possible alterations of receptor function remains unexplored. Thus, the aim of the present study is to establish the impact of SA removal from N-glycan chains on their conformational behavior. We therefore undertook an in silico investigation using molecular dynamics to predict the structure of an isolated glycan chain. We performed, for the first time, 3 independent 500 ns simulations on bi-antennary and tri-antennary glycan chains displaying or lacking SA. We show that desialylation alters both the preferential conformation and the flexibility of the glycan chain. This study suggests that the behavior of glycan chains induced by presence or absence of SA may explain the changes in the protein function.

Abstract
Although it has long been established that the extracellular matrix acts as a mechanical support, its degradation products, which mainly accumulate during aging, have also been demonstrated to play an important role in cell physiology and the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In the current study, we show that elastin-derived peptides (EDPs) may be involved in the development of insulin resistance (IRES) in mice. In chow-fed mice, acute or chronic intravenous injections of EDPs induced hyperglycemic effects associated with glucose uptake reduction and IRES in skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue. Based on in vivo, in vitro, and in silico approaches, we propose that this IRES is due to interaction between the insulin receptor (IR) and the neuraminidase-1 subunit of the elastin receptor complex triggered by EDPs. This interplay was correlated with decreased sialic acid levels on the β-chain of the IR and reduction of IR signaling. In conclusion, this is the first study to demonstrate that EDPs, which mainly accumulate with aging, may be involved in the insidious development of IRES.

Abstract
We previously reported that removal of sialyl residues primed PBMCs to respond to bacterial LPS stimulation in vitro. Therefore, we speculated that prior desialylation can sensitize the host to generate an enhanced inflammatory response upon exposure to a TLR ligand, such as LPS, in a murine model of acute lung injury. Intratracheal instillation of neuraminidase (NA) 30 min prior to intratracheal administration of LPS increased polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio, a measure of pulmonary edema, compared with mice that received LPS alone. Administration of NA alone resulted in desialylation of bronchiolar and alveolar surfaces and induction of TNF-α, IL-1β, and chemokines in lung homogenates and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; however, PMN recruitment in mice treated with NA alone did not differ from that of PBS-administered controls. NA pretreatment alone induced apoptosis and markedly enhanced LPS-induced endothelial apoptosis. Administration of recombinant Bcl-2, an antiapoptotic molecule, abolished the effect of NA treatment on LPS-induced PMN recruitment and pulmonary edema formation. We conclude that NA pretreatment potentiates LPS-induced lung injury through enhanced PMN recruitment, pulmonary edema formation, and endothelial and myeloid cell apoptosis. A similar "reprogramming" of immune responses with desialylation may occur during respiratory infection with NA-expressing microbes and contribute to severe lung injury.

Abstract
Diapedesis is a dynamic, highly regulated process by which leukocytes are recruited to inflammatory sites. We reported previously that removal of sialyl residues from PMNs enables these cells to become more adherent to EC monolayers and that sialidase activity within intracellular compartments of resting PMNs translocates to the plasma membrane following activation. We did not identify which surface adhesion molecules were targeted by endogenous sialidase. Upon activation, β2 integrin (CD11b/CD18) on the PMN surface undergoes conformational change, which allows it to bind more tightly to the ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 on the EC surface. Removal of sialyl residues from CD18 and CD11b, by exogenous neuraminidase or mobilization of PMN sialidase, unmasked activation epitopes, as detected by flow cytometry and enhanced binding to ICAM-1. One sialidase isoform, Neu1, colocalized with CD18 on confocal microscopy. Using an autoperfused microflow chamber, desialylation of immobilized ICAM-1 enhanced leukocyte arrest in vivo. Further, treatment with a sialidase inhibitor in vivo reversed endotoxin-induced binding of leukocytes to ICAM-1, thereby suggesting a role for leukocyte sialidase in the cellular arrest. These data suggest that PMN sialidase could be a physiologic source of the enzymatic activity that removes sialyl residues on β2 integrin and ICAM-1, resulting in their enhanced interaction. Thus, PMN sialidase may be an important regulator of the recruitment of these cells to inflamed sites.

Abstract
Sialidases influence cellular activity by removing terminal sialic acid from glycoproteins and glycolipids. Four genetically distinct sialidases (Neu1-4) have been identified in mammalian cells. In this study, we demonstrate that only lysosomal Neu1 and plasma membrane-associated Neu3 are detected in freshly isolated and activated human T lymphocytes. Activation of lymphocytes by exposure to anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 IgG resulted in a ninefold increase in Neu1-specific activity after growth of cells in culture for 5 days. In contrast, the activity of Neu3 changed minimally in activated lymphocytes. The increase in Neu1 enzyme activity correlated with increased synthesis of Neu1-specific mRNA. Neu1 was present on the surface of freshly isolated and activated CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes, as determined by staining intact cells with anti-Neu1 IgG and analysis by flow cytometry and by Western blot analysis of biotin-labeled cell surface proteins. Cell surface Neu1 was found tightly associated with a subunit of protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA). Compared with freshly isolated lymphocytes, activated cells expressed more surface binding sites for galactose-recognizing lectins Erythrina cristagalli (ECA) and Arachis hypogaea. Growth of cells in the presence of sialidase inhibitors 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid or 4-guanidino-2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid resulted in a smaller increase in number of ECA-binding sites and a greater amount of cell surface sialic acid in activated cells. Inhibition of sialidase activity also resulted in reduced expression of IFN-gamma in activated cells. The down-regulation of IFN-gamma occurred at the transcriptional level. Thus, sialidase activity in activated T lymphocytes contributes to the hyposialylation of specific cell surface glycoconjugates and to the production of IFN-gamma.

Abstract
Circulating sialic acid is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is higher in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sialic acid is associated with body mass index, but it is uncertain whether body fat contributes to the higher levels of sialic acid in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, we have investigated whether the higher levels of sialic acid observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus persist when controlling for fatness. Fasting plasma samples were collected from 24 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 24 controls. Percentage of body fat was measured by bioelectrical impedance. Plasma sialic acid was quantified by an enzymatic method. Plasma sialic acid was higher in the group with type 2 diabetes mellitus than controls (602 +/- 14 vs 545 +/- 14 mg/L, P = .007). Percentage of body fat was associated with plasma sialic acid concentration in both the control group (r = 0.481, P = .020) and the group with type 2 diabetes mellitus (r = 0.527, P = .007). Fasting glucose was also associated with plasma sialic acid in the group with type 2 diabetes mellitus (r = 0.700, P < .001). Adjustment for percentage of body fat accounted for the higher levels of sialic acid in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Using linear regression, 54.3% of the variation of plasma sialic acid was explained by percentage of body fat and glucose concentrations in the whole group. Seventy-four percent of sialic acid variation was explained by the same model in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In conclusion, this is the first study to show that percentage of body fat predicts plasma sialic acid concentration and contributes toward higher levels of sialic acid in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The first step in the bacterial colonization and infection of uropathogenic Escherichia coli is adherence to uroepithelium. Over 80% of all urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli. Uropathogenic E. coli express several adherence factors including type 1 and P fimbriae, which mediate attachment to the uroepithelium through specific binding to different glycoconjugate receptors. We showed that P and type 1 fimbriae are not the sole adhesins on uropathogenic E. coli and sialic acid also mediates nonspecific bacterial adherence of uropathogenic E. coli and urinary bladder epithelium.

Abstract
Modulation of the sialic acid content of cell-surface glycoproteins and glycolipids influences the functional capacity of cells of the immune system. The role of sialidase(s) and the consequent desialylation of cell surface glycoconjugates in the activation of monocytes have not been established. In this study, we show that desialylation of glycoconjugates on the surface of purified monocytes using exogenous neuraminidase (NANase) activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2), an intermediate in intracellular signaling pathways. Elevated levels of phosphorylated ERK 1/2 were detected in desialylated monocytes after 2 h of NANase treatment, and increased amounts persisted for at least 2 additional hours. Desialylation of cell surface glycoconjugates also led to increased production of interleukin (IL)-6, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and MIP-1beta by NANase-treated monocytes that were maintained in culture. Neither increased levels of phosphorylated ERK 1/2 nor enhanced production of cytokines were detected when NANase was heat-inactivated before use, demonstrating the specificity of NANase action. Treatment of monocytes with gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) also led to enhanced production of IL-6, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta. The amount of each of these cytokines that was produced was markedly increased when monocytes were desialylated with NANase before exposure to LPS. These results suggest that changes in the sialic acid content of surface glycoconjugates influence the activation of monocytes.

Abstract
Plasma membrane-associated sialidase is a key enzyme for ganglioside hydrolysis, thereby playing crucial roles in regulation of cell surface functions. Here we demonstrate that mice overexpressing the human ortholog (NEU3) develop diabetic phenotype by 18-22 weeks associated with hyperinsulinemia, islet hyperplasia, and increased beta-cell mass. As compared with the wild type, insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate I was significantly reduced, and activities of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and glycogen synthase were low in transgenic muscle. IR phosphorylation was already attenuated in the younger mice before manifestation of hyperglycemia. Transient transfection of NEU3 into 3T3-L1 adipocytes and L6 myocytes caused a significant decrease in IR signaling. In response to insulin, NEU3 was found to undergo tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent association with the Grb2 protein, thus being activated and causing negative regulation of insulin signaling. In fact, accumulation of GM1 and GM2, the possible sialidase products in transgenic tissues, caused inhibition of IR phosphorylation in vitro, and blocking of association with Grb2 resulted in reversion of impaired insulin signaling in L6 cells. The data indicate that NEU3 indeed participates in the control of insulin signaling, probably via modulation of gangliosides and interaction with Grb2, and that the mice can serve as a valuable model for human insulin-resistant diabetes.

Abstract
1. Human mast cell tryptase appears to display considerable variation in activating proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR(2)). We found tryptase to be an inefficient activator of wild-type rat-PAR(2) (wt-rPAR(2)) and therefore decided to explore the factors that may influence tryptase activation of PAR(2). 2. Using a 20 mer peptide (P20) corresponding to the cleavage/activation sequence of wt-rPAR(2), tryptase was as efficient as trypsin in releasing the receptor-activating sequence (SLIGRL.). However, in the presence of either human-PAR(2) or wt-r PAR(2) expressing cells, tryptase could only activate PAR(2) by releasing SLIGRL from the P20 peptide, suggesting that PAR(2) expressed on the cells was protected from tryptase activation. 3. Three approaches were employed to test the hypothesis that PAR(2) receptor glycosylation restricts tryptase activation. (a) pretreatment of wt-rPAR(2) expressing cells or human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) with vibrio cholerae neuraminidase to remove oligosaccharide sialic acid, unmasked tryptase-mediated PAR(2) activation. (b) Inhibiting receptor glycosylation in HEK293 cells with tunicamycin enabled tryptase-mediated PAR(2) activation. (c) Wt-rPAR(2) devoid of the N-terminal glycosylation sequon (PAR(2)T25(-)), but not rPAR(2) devoid of the glycosylation sequon located on extracellular loop-2 (PAR(2)T224A), was selectively and substantially (>30 fold) more sensitive to tryptase compared with the wt-rPAR(2). 4. Immunocytochemistry using antisera that specifically recognized the N-terminal precleavage sequence of PAR(2) demonstrated that tryptase released the precleavage domain from PAR(2)T25(-) but not from wt-rPAR(2). 5. Heparin : tryptase molar ratios of greater than 2 : 1 abrogated tryptase activation of PAR(2)T25(-). 6. Our results indicate that glycosylation of PAR(2) and heparin-inhibition of PAR(2) activation by tryptase could provide novel mechanisms for regulating receptor activation by tryptase and possibly other proteases.

Abstract
Gangliosides have previously been considered to be possible antigenic sites in Type 1 diabetes. Lymphocytic infiltration of Langerhans islands is the pathologic hallmark of autoimmune diabetes and may also be observed in salivary glands in experimental diabetes. Diabetic complications of parotid and submaxillary glands may therefore be related with an autoimmune process against sialoglycoconjugates of salivary gland tissue.

Abstract
Silica beads are coated with dextran carrying a calculated amount of positively charged diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) groups in order to neutralize negatively charged silanol groups at the silica surface and in this way to minimize non-specific interactions between silica and proteins in solution. Dextran-coated silica supports are potentially excellent stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography of proteins. These supports combine the advantages of polysaccharide phases with the excellent mechanical characteristics of silica. These supports [silica-dextran-DEAE (SID)] are easily functionalized by grafting N-acetylneuramic acid (NANA), extracted from edible birds' nests, using conventional coupling methods. The performance of supports bearing NANA was studied by high-performance liquid affinity chromatography of insulin, the hypoglycaemic peptide hormone of the human organism. The study showed that these supports exhibit a reversible and specific affinity towards insulin and allow separations with high purification yields. The influence of different physico-chemical parameters (pH, temperature and insulin concentration) on insulin retention on the support was studied. This allowed the optimization of the conditions of adsorption and a better understanding of the interaction mechanisms between insulin and NANA as a biospecific ligand.

Abstract
High-performance liquid affinity chromatography (HPLAC) is a powerful method for the purification of biological compounds, owing to its specificity, speed and high resolution. We developed new chromatographic supports based on porous silica beads. In order to minimize non-specific interaction between the silanol groups at the silica surface and biological molecules, the beads are coated with dextran carrying a calculated amount of positively charged functions. Such supports have the mechanical properties of the starting inorganic material. Moreover, they can be easily activated and functionalized by active ligands using conventional coupling methods. In the present study, N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), a member of the sialic acid family, is coupled to dextran coated silica beads to obtain affinity supports. This class of compounds seems to play an important role in the cell recognition mechanism. In particular, sialic acids are present in the structure of the cellular receptors for insulin. By HPLAC, we can study the interactions between coated silica grafted with NANA and insulin. It is also possible to use these active supports to purify the compounds by affinity chromatography. However, it is important to determine and optimize the conditions for adsorption and desorption of insulin on supports grafted with sialic acid and to estimate the chromatographic performances of these active phases.

Abstract
Prior to investigating the role of individual glycosylation sites in insulin receptor function, we are mapping the sites of glycosylation in the receptor. We report here a generally applicable methodology for the isolation and identification of glycosylation sites in cell surface glycoproteins. Human insulin receptors were labeled with [3H]-sugars using a CHO cell line transfected with the human receptor cDNA. Labelled receptors were mixed with receptors purified from human placental membranes and tryptic peptides prepared. Peptides were fractionated by gel filtration chromatography to limit the number of non-glycopeptides present. Peptides were then separated by reverse phase HPLC and glycopeptides identified by scintillation counting. Using this technique we have shown the insulin receptor to be glycosylated at Asn 397 and Asn 881. This increase the known number of occupied glycosylation sites to five.

Abstract
The cellular mechanism by which the specific binding of [125I]insulin to intact rat adipocytes is inhibited by isoproterenol has been studied. By exposing control and isoproterenol-treated cells to trypsin (0-150 micrograms/ml for 20 min at 4 degrees C) and measuring the intact insulin receptor pool following detergent solubilization, a differential sensitivity to proteolysis of the cell membrane receptor was observed. At low trypsin concentration (less than 30 micrograms/ml), approximately 40% of the specific insulin binding in isoproterenol-treated cells was insensitive to proteolysis as compared to control cells. At higher levels of trypsin (50-150 micrograms/ml) both groups displayed similar levels of trypsin-insensitive receptors which, at the highest trypsin concentration, accounted for 10% of the total receptors in intact cells. Detergent-solubilized receptors from isoproterenol-treated cells, on the other hand, exhibited the same sensitivity to trypsin proteolysis as solubilized receptors from control cells. The time course of the onset and reversal of the isoproterenol-induced binding alteration in intact adipocytes has been analyzed by mild trypsinization (20 micrograms/ml). Results indicated that insulin receptors resistant to trypsin under these conditions mediated the decreased surface binding and were re-expressed on the cell surface upon removal of isoproterenol. Experiments in which adipocytes were fractionated into plasma membrane and Golgi-enriched fractions indicated that the loss of surface insulin binding was not accompanied by a decrease in the proportion of receptors in the adipocyte plasma membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Adipocytes treated with neuraminidase show markedly reduced responsiveness to insulin without any alteration in insulin binding. In addition, several studies have separately demonstrated both insulin resistance and decreases in membrane sialic acid content and associated biosynthetic enzymes in diabetes mellitus. In the present study, we investigated the role that sialic acid residues may play in insulin action and in the hepatic insulin resistance associated with nonketotic diabetes. Primary cultures of hepatocytes from normal rats treated with neuraminidase demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease in insulin-stimulated lipogenesis. At a concentration of neuraminidase that decreases insulin action by 50%, 23% of total cellular sialic acid content was released. Neuraminidase-releasable sialic acid was significantly decreased in hepatocytes from diabetic rats and this was associated with significant insulin resistance. Treatment of hepatocytes from diabetic rats with cytidine 5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NANA) enhanced insulin responsiveness 39%. The enhanced insulin responsiveness induced by CMP-NANA was blocked by cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP) suggesting that the CMP-NANA effect was catalyzed by a cell surface sialyltransferase. CMP reduced neuraminidase-releasable [14C]sialic acid incorporation into hepatocytes by 43%. The data demonstrate a role for cell surface sialic acid residues in hepatic insulin action and support a role for decreased cell surface sialic acid residues in the insulin resistance of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Removal of asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains from Torpedo marmorata electric organ membranes was found to inhibit the binding of the iodinated alpha-neurotoxin I from Naja mossambica mossambica snake venom to its receptor. Optimal deglycosylation of membranes by endoglycosidase F resulted in a 55% inhibition of alpha-neurotoxin-I-saturable binding. Under these conditions, up to 70% of concanavalin A binding was also lost, indicating an efficient removal of mannose-rich carbohydrate chains. Saturation binding experiments at equilibrium on membranes incubated in the absence of endoglycosidase F indicated, when analyzed by Scatchard plots, the presence of two classes of high-affinity binding sites for alpha-neurotoxin I (kd = 9 pM and 68 pM respectively) with capacities of 24 and 14 pmol/mg membrane proteins, respectively. After endoglycosidase F treatment, only the former class of binding sites (Kd = 11 pM) was recovered together with a 45% reduction in the number of total binding sites. Dissociation experiments further confirmed the presence of two types of toxin-receptor complexes in control membranes and the selective loss of the rapidly dissociating component upon deglycosylation. The binding of alpha-neurotoxin I to its receptor, deglycosylated or not, was totally inhibited by carbamoylcholine, d-tubocurarine or alpha-bungarotoxin. These findings show that the neurotoxin binding sites present on the acetylcholine receptor can be discriminated on the basis of their differential susceptibility to the removal of asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains.

Abstract
Although insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is known to be decreased in adipocytes isolated from old obese rats, the cause of this defect is not totally understood. In the present study, we examined the possibility that insulin resistance is associated with defects in the intracellular processing of the insulin-receptor complex. Adipocytes were isolated from control (2-mo-old rats) and obese, insulin-resistant rats (12-mo-old rats), and the following measurements were made: 1) insulin-stimulated glucose uptake; 2) insulin binding; 3) insulin-receptor internalization and recycling; 4) accumulation of insulin within the cell; and 5) rate of loss of insulin from the cell. The results indicated that maximal insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was significantly reduced in adipocytes from obese, insulin-resistant rats (increase over basal value was 500 +/- 53% in obese rats and 1,200 +/- 96 in control rats, P less than 0.01). 125I-insulin (A14) binding (cell-associated radioactivity) and the internalization of the hormone-receptor complex were not different in the two groups of animals studied. In contrast, insulin-receptor recycling was significantly decreased in adipocytes from obese rats (72.0 +/- 6.1 vs. 93.6 +/- 2.6%, P less than 0.01). In addition, loss of intracellular radioactivity was significantly prolonged in insulin-resistant rats (t1/2 = 12.05 +/- 0.9 vs. 9.4 +/- 0.3 min, P less than 0.05). Thus adipocytes isolated from the older rats were resistant to the insulin effect on glucose uptake, and this defect was not associated with a reduction in insulin binding. However, there was a decrease in insulin receptor recycling, and this phenomenon may be related to the insulin resistance present in these cells.

Abstract
In an attempt to elucidate the cellular mechanism(s) by which sulfonylureas exert their extrapancreatic hypoglycemic effects, various parameters of insulin action were examined in vitro, using rat adipocytes maintained in a biochemically defined medium. Cells were maintained for 20 hours in the absence or presence of 175 micrograms/mL chlorpropamide and insulin binding, hexose transport, glucose metabolism, and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity were compared. Chlorpropamide treatment had no effect on insulin binding, altering neither receptor number nor affinity. However, the sulfonylurea did enhance 2-deoxyglucose transport in both the absence (17%, P less than .01) and presence (20%, P less than .01) of insulin. Furthermore, glucose metabolism as measured by the conversion of glucose (0.2 mmol/L) to CO2 and total lipids was also significantly increased by chlorpropamide treatment in both the absence (30%, P less than .01) and presence (31%, P less than .05) of insulin. Potentiation of insulin-stimulated transport or metabolism was not explained by an increase in the basal state alone because the incremental responses to 40 ng/mL insulin were potentiated by 19% (P less than .01) and 25% (P less than .05), respectively. Activity of the insulin receptor kinase was unchanged as evaluated by autophosphorylation of partially purified receptors, phosphorylation of an artificial substrate and by phosphorylation of the receptor in situ. These studies demonstrate that the sulfonylurea, chlorpropamide, stimulates glucose transport and potentiates insulin's effect on this process by acting at a site(s) beyond insulin receptor binding and phosphorylation.

Abstract
The cellular mechanism(s) by which the biguanide, metformin, exerts its antihyperglycaemic effect was investigated. Rat adipocytes were either treated acutely (2 h) or maintained in a biochemically defined medium (20 h) in the presence or absence of metformin (1 X 10(-4) mol/l). Exposure to the drug resulted in a significant enhancement (p less than 0.01) of hexose transport in both the absence (basal) and presence of insulin. Stimulation of transport was not explained by the increase in the basal state alone, since the incremental response to maximally effective concentrations of insulin was significantly enhanced p less than 0.025. Insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity was examined under the same experimental conditions. Activity of the kinase was unaltered as evaluated by phosphorylation of an artificial substrate and by phosphorylation of the receptor in situ. Furthermore, in this investigation neither insulin receptor number nor affinity was changed in adipose tissue treated with metformin. These studies indicate that metformin potentiates the effect of insulin on glucose transport at a site(s) beyond insulin receptor binding and phosphorylation.
