Abstract
For centuries, indigenous plants have been used against enteritis but their molecular targets and mode of action remain obscure. The present study was carried out to elucidate the protective and therapeutic role, if any, of glycosides from Hemidesmus indicus against S. typhimurium-induced pathogenesis. Studies were carried out in a human intestinal cell line (Int 407) and a murine macrophage cell line (P388D1) in order to evaluate its potency in local as well as systemic infections. The inhibitory role of the glycosides present in Hemidesmus indicus root extract (GHI) were tested by pre-coating the cells (both Int 407 and P388D1) with GHI prior to infection, and by neutralizing the wild-type bacteria with GHI before cell infection. In both cases, GHI protected the host cells from the cytotoxic effects of the wild S. typhimurium. This suggests that the biologically significant sugars (hexose, hexosamine, fucose and sialic acid etc) present in GHI might be mimicking host cell receptor saccharides and thereby blocking the bacterial ligands from binding to the host cells. Int 407 cells infected with wild-type bacteria had a diffused adherence pattern after 4 h incubation, but this typical character was not observed in cells infected with GHI-treated bacteria and the cells were normal in appearance at 4 h. After 18 h cells infected with wild-type bacteria were hypertrophoid with a disintegrated membrane and wrapped in a bacterial coat, whereas cells infected with treated bacteria had comparatively less morphological changes and few defective shrunken rods adhered locally. This suggests that the glycosides can change the adherence pattern of S. typhimurium from diffused to local. Treated bacteria had less adherence and invasion capability in Int 407 as well as P388D1 cells. The results show the decreased ability of adherence of GHI-treated S. typhimurium was due to a loss of surface hydrophobicity. A nonspecific binding between S. typhimurium and the glycosides was confirmed using ELISA. In summary, the glycosides of H. indicus root inhibited S. typhimurium induced pathogenesis nonspecifically, by reducing bacterial surface hydrophobicity and perhaps also by mimicking host cell receptors, thereby blocking its attachment to host cell and further pathological effects.

Abstract
Using a recombinant vaccinia virus containing the T7 RNA polymerase, we have established a system for the transient expression of human polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in baby hamster kidney cells, a baby hamster-derived fibroblastic cell line. This transfection system resulted in the successful expression of pIgR in these cells, and Western blot analysis showed that human pIgR was expressed as two different molecular weight forms of 92 and 107 kDa. Treatment with endoglycosidase H showed that the difference between these two forms was due to the glycosylation status of the protein. In order to examine the functional role of glycosylation, we treated the transfected cells with tunicamycin, which prevents a core glycosylation step in the endoplasmic reticulum. Non-glycosylated pIgR was released into the culture medium of the transfected cells, albeit with extremely low efficiency. Taking these results together, we conclude that the glycosylation of pIgR may play a positive role in the efficient transport or release of free pIgR.

Abstract
Secretory IgA contributes to humoral defense mechanisms against pathogens targeting mucosal surfaces, and secretory component (SC) fulfills multiple roles in this defense. The aims of this study were to quantify total SC and to analyze the form of free SC in sputa from normal subjects, subjects with asthma, and subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF). Significantly higher levels of SC were detected in CF compared with both other groups. Gel filtration chromatography revealed that SC in CF was relatively degraded. Free SC normally binds interleukin (IL)-8 and inhibits its function. However, in CF sputa, IL-8 binding to intact SC was reduced. Analysis of the total carbohydrate content of free SC signified overglycosylation in CF compared with normal subjects and subjects with asthma. Monosaccharide composition analysis of free SC from CF subjects revealed overfucosylation and undersialylation, in agreement with the reported CF glycosylation phenotype. SC binding to IL-8 did not interfere with the binding of IL-8 to heparin, indicating distinct binding sites on IL-8 for negative regulation of function by SC and heparin. We suggest that defective structure and function of SC contribute to the characteristic sustained inflammatory response in the CF airways.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a major cause of bacterial pneumonia, middle ear infection (otitis media), sepsis, and meningitis. Our previous study demonstrated that the choline-binding protein A (CbpA) of S. pneumoniae binds to the human polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) and enhances pneumococcal adhesion to and invasion of cultured epithelial cells. In this study, we sought to determine the CbpA-binding motif on pIgR by deletional analysis. The extra-cellular portion of pIgR consists of five Ig-like domains (D1-D5), each of which contains 104-114 amino acids and two disulfide bonds. Deletional analysis of human pIgR revealed that the lack of either D3 or D4 resulted in the loss of CbpA binding, whereas complete deletions of domains D1, D2, and D5 had undetectable impacts. Subsequent analysis showed that domains D3 and D4 together were necessary and sufficient for the ligand-binding activity. Furthermore, CbpA binding of pIgR did not appear to require Ca2+ or Mg2+. Finally, treating pIgR with a reducing agent abolished CbpA binding, suggesting that disulfide bonding is required for the formation of CbpA-binding motif(s). These results strongly suggest a conformational CbpA-binding motif(s) in the D3/D4 region of human pIgR, which is functionally separated from the IgA-binding site(s).

Abstract
Secretory IgA (SIgA) is a multi-polypeptide complex consisting of a secretory component (SC) covalently attached to dimeric IgA containing one joining (J) chain. We present the analysis of both the N- and O-glycans on the individual peptides from this complex. Based on these data, we have constructed a molecular model of SIgA1 with all its glycans, in which the Fab arms form a T shape and the SC is wrapped around the heavy chains. The O-glycan regions on the heavy (H) chains and the SC N-glycans have adhesin-binding glycan epitopes including galactose-linked beta1-4 and beta1-3 to GlcNAc, fucose-linked alpha1-3 and alpha1-4 to GlcNAc and alpha1-2 to galactose, and alpha2-3 and alpha2-6-linked sialic acids. These glycan epitopes provide SIgA with further bacteria-binding sites in addition to the four Fab-binding sites, thus enabling SIgA to participate in both innate and adaptive immunity. We also show that the N-glycans on the H chains of both SIgA1 and SIgA2 present terminal GlcNAc and mannose residues that are normally masked by SC, but that can be unmasked and recognized by mannose-binding lectin, by disrupting the SC-H chain noncovalent interactions.

Abstract
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) transports dimeric immunoglobulin A (dIgA) across the epithelial cell layers into the secretions of various mucosal and glandular surfaces of mammals. At these mucosal sites, such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, urogenital tract and the mammary glands, dIgA protects the body against pathogens. The pIgR binds dIgA at the basolateral side and transports it via the complex mechanism of transcytosis to the apical side of the epithelial cells lining the mucosa. Here, the extracellular part of the receptor is cleaved to form the secretory component (SC), which remains associated to dIgA, thereby protecting it from degradation in the secretions. One pIgR molecule transports only one dIgA molecule (1 : 1 ratio) and the pIgR is not recycled after each round of transport. This implies that the amount of available receptor could be a rate-limiting factor determining both the rate and amount of IgA transported per cell and therefore determining the total IgA output into the lumen or, in case of the mammary gland, into the milk. In order to test this hypothesis, we set up an in vivo model system. We generated transgenic mice over-expressing the murine pIgR gene under lactogenic control, by using a milk gene promoter, rather than under immunological control. Mice over-expressing the pIgR protein, in mammary gland epithelial cells, from 60- up to 270-fold above normal pIgR protein levels showed total IgA levels in the milk to be 1.5-2-fold higher, respectively, compared with the IgA levels in the milk of non-transgenic mice. This indicates that the amount of pIgR produced is indeed a limiting factor in the transport of dIgA into the milk under normal non-inflammatory circumstances.

Abstract
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) plays a crucial role in mucosal immunity against microbial infection by transporting polymeric immunoglobulins (pIg) across the mucosal epithelium. We report here that the human pIgR (hpIgR) can bind to a major pneumococcal adhesin, CbpA. Expression of hpIgR in human nasopharyngeal cells and MDCK cells greatly enhanced pneumococcal adherence and invasion. The hpIgR-mediated bacterial adherence and invasion were abolished by either insertional knockout of cbpA or antibodies against either hpIgR or CbpA. In contrast, rabbit pIgR (rpIgR) did not bind to CbpA and its expression in MDCK cells did not enhance pneumococcal adherence and invasion. These results suggest that pneumococci are a novel example of a pathogen co-opting the pIg transcytosis machinery to promote translocation across a mucosal barrier.

Abstract
Human secretory component has seven putative sites for N-linked glycosylation. From tryptic and Glu-C digests we have isolated peptides encompassing asparagines 65, 72, 117, 168, 403, 451 and 481. Analysis by on line HPLC-electrospray mass spectrometry indicated that these residues were fully glycosylated and that the major carbohydrate moieties were far less diversified in composition than expected. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry performed on oligosaccharides released by peptide-N-glycosidase F treatment of fractionated and unfractionated SC digests showed the following glycan compositions: Fuc(2)Hex(5)HexNAc(4), Fuc(3)Hex(5)HexNAc(4), NeuAcFucHex(5)HexNAc(4), NeuAcFuc(2)Hex(5)HexNAc(4), NeuAc(2)Hex(5)HexNAc4 and NeuAc(2)FucHex(5)HexNAc(4). Three of these oligosaccharides are the major carbohydrate moieties in human lactoferrin. A possible biological role of the secretory component glycans in the protection of mucosal surfaces is discussed.

Abstract
The immaturity of the infant's immune system and the rapid evolution of pathogens has created a demand for the mother to provide ready made specific defence factors to her offspring. This is achieved during the fetal period by transplacental transport of IgG antibodies, and after birth via IgA antibodies in the breast milk. The breast milk also contains a variety of nonspecific defence factors contributing to its antimicrobial effect. Breast feeding has been shown to decrease morbidity in gastroenteritis, septicemia, otitis media, urinary tract infection, encephalitis, pneumonia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. The antibody content in the mother's milk probably contributes not only to the immediate but also to the long term protection of the infant including both resistance to infection and development of immunological tolerance to harmless environmental antigens.

Abstract
Based on in vitro experiments measuring daily secretion rates in the culture media of rat hepatocytes and in vivo experiments using pulse labeling of intracellular precursors, the present study examines the ontogenic expression of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor and secretory component by hepatocytes during growth. Our data indicate that hepatocytes from infant and suckling rats (day 5, 15) cultured in serum-free and hormone-free conditions only secreted trace amounts of secretory component. Beginning on day 20, basal secretion rate showed a marked upsurge with a 10-fold increase by day 35. The addition of dexamethasone (10(-7) mol/L) to the culture media enhanced by 2.5-fold the basal secretion of secretory component by hepatocytes from 20-, 25-, and 35-day-old rats, while addition of insulin to the media had no effect. The response to dexamethasone was dose-dependent (10(-5), 10(-6), 10(-7) mol/L) and specific. In vivo pulse labeling of receptor precursors in hepatocytes from 40-day-old rats allowed the identification of three intracellular forms: a 105-kilodalton peptide and a 116-120-kilodalton mature doublet. In 13-day-old rats, three immature precursors were detected: a 105-kilodalton peptide and a high molecular weight doublet of 185-190 kilodaltons. Sucklings (13 days) treated with corticosterone showed a pattern of precursors similar to controls. These findings support the following conclusions: (a) hepatocytes from infant and suckling rats synthesize and process immature receptor precursors whose expression is unaffected by corticosterone treatment, and (b) active secretion of secretory component is initiated at weaning independently from humoral and hormonal factors while the magnitude of its production by the liver is under the control of glucocorticoids.

Abstract
Radioiodinated human secretory IgA (sIgA) injected intravenously into mice was rapidly cleared from the circulation by the liver. A portion of the sIgA was transported as an intact molecule into the bile. However, this transport was less efficient than that of human serum polymeric IgA (pIgA). The clearance of sIgA from the circulation was inhibited by prior injection of asialofetuin, suggesting that its uptake is mediated by the hepatic binding protein (HBP) specific for asialoglycoproteins. Mouse pIgA did not inhibit the hepatic clearance of sIgA. Results of in vivo studies were confirmed by in vitro experiments. The binding of 125I-asialoorosomucoid to either the particulate fraction (2000 g pellet of the homogenate) or the plasma membrane fraction of mouse liver was inhibited by sIgA. When polypeptide components of sIgA were used as inhibitors, significant inhibition was obtained with secretory component (SC), while inhibition with light and J-chains was not statistically significant. Examination of the inhibitory activity of IgA1 and IgA2 myeloma proteins and heavy chains isolated from these proteins revealed that binding of polymeric IgA1 and alpha 1 heavy chains can also be mediated by HBP. However, these interactions appear to be of lower avidity than those with SC. The inhibitory activity of human IgA2 and alpha 2 heavy chains was not significant. The involvement of HBP in binding of sIgA was also confirmed by measuring the inhibition of binding of 125I-sIgA. The binding of this protein by the particulate fraction of the mouse liver homogenate was inhibited by asialoglycoproteins and SC while inhibition with IgA1 and alpha 1 heavy chains was not significant. These results suggest that the carbohydrate moieties recognized by HBP reside primarily in the SC portion of sIgA.

Abstract
The amino-acid sequence and the arrangement of the disulfide bonds of the human free secretory component were completely elucidated by the methods of protein chemistry. The free secretory component is a monomeric glycoprotein (Mr approximately 86000), consisting of 558 amino acids with 7 carbohydrate chains bound to asparagine. The protein contains 20 cysteine residues but, as a special feature, no methionine. The polypeptide chain is divided into five regions of internal homology, 104 to 114 amino acids in length. The 20 cysteine residues form 10 disulfide bonds, 9 of which confirm the internal homology by their characteristic arrangement. The free secretory component also shows homology to immunoglobulins in some sections. A computer-supported tertiary structure is proposed for the free secretory component.

Abstract
The carbohydrate moieties exposed on enterobacteria before and after antibody binding have been tested with fluorescent lectins. Salmonella typhimurium 395 MS (S-type) and its Rd-mutant MR10 were coated with hyperimmune anti-MS and anti-MR 10 IgG, respectively. MR 10 bacteria and Escherichia coli O86 bacteria were coated with human colostral secretory IgA (SIgA). There was a conspicuous binding of some of the lectins to untreated bacteria not always closely related to the sugar composition of the outer membrane lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or other known sugar residues. Antibody IgG and SIgA binding modified the affinity for the lectins. The binding of some lectins was reduced, presumably by masking the bacterial sugars. Antibody IgG binding to S. typhimurium MS and R 10 enhanced the affinity for RCA-I (Gal) and to a smaller extent for WGA (GlcNAc) which may be explained by exposure of IgG oligosaccharide. Antibody SIgA binding to S. typhimurium R 10 and E. coli O86 enhanced the affinity for the above lectins to a larger extent as well as for Con A (Man, Glc). The corresponding sugars N-acetylglucosamine, mannose and glucose are present in the carbohydrate chain of the secretory component as well as in IgA indicating that when SIgA antibody binds its sugar components are exposed.

Abstract
The alkali-stable sialoglycopeptides of secretory immunoglobulins A from human milk have been separated from the alkali-labile glycopeptides by gel filtration and from the asialoglycopeptides by ion-exchange chromatography. The structures of five of them have been determined on the basis of the results obtained by methylation analysis, mass spectrometry and 360 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. For glycopeptide B, the following structure has been found: (formula; see text) The other glycopeptides can be considered as extensions of this structure. The following extensions to Gal-6' are proposed: NeuAc(alpha 2-6) (glycopeptide A), Gal(beta 1-3) (glycopeptide D) and Fuc(alpha 1-6) (glycopeptide E). Furthermore, in glycopeptide C a fucose residue in (alpha 1-3) linkage to GlcNAc-5' could be traced.
