Abstract
To generate a new murine model for virus, DC-SIGN gene in murine was humanized. In this study, we successfully generated a humanized C57BL/6N mouse model expressing human DC-SIGN (hDC-SIGN) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and evaluated its characters and susceptibility to virus. The humanized mice could survival as usual, and with normal physiological index just like the wild-type mice. Whereas, we found significant differences in the intestinal flora and metabolic profiles between wild-type mice and humanized mice. Following intranasal infection with SARS-CoV-2, hDC-SIGN mice exhibited significantly increased viral loads in the lungs and nasal turbinates, along with more severe lung damage. This phenomenon may be associated with differential lipid metabolism and Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis in two mouse models. This study provides a useful tool for investigating the mechanisms of coronavirus infection and potential drug therapies against novel coronavirus.

Abstract
Due to the shallow and hydrophilic binding sites of carbohydrate-binding proteins, the design of glycomimetics is often complicated by high desolvation costs as well as competition with solvent. Therefore, a careful optimization of interaction vectors and ligand properties is required in the design and optimization of glycomimetics. Here, we employ thermodynamics-guided design to optimize mannose-based glycomimetics targeting the human C-type lectin receptor dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), a pathogenic host factor in viral infections. By exploring ligand rigidification and hydrogen bond engineering, a monovalent glycomimetic with an unprecedented affinity for DC-SIGN in the low μM range was discovered. A matched molecular pair analysis based on microcalorimetric data revealed a stereospecific hydrogen bond interaction with Glu358/Ser360 as the origin of this cooperative and enthalpically dominated interaction. This detailed insight into the binding mechanism paves the way for an improvement of monovalent glycomimetics targeting DC-SIGN.

Abstract
The "carbohydrate chemical mimicry" exhibited by sp2 -iminosugars has been utilized to develop practical syntheses for analogs of the branched high-mannose-type oligosaccharides (HMOs) Man3 and Man5 . In these compounds, the terminal nonreducing Man residues have been substituted with 5,6-oxomethylidenemannonojirimycin (OMJ) motifs. The resulting oligomannoside hemimimetic accurately reproduce the structure, configuration, and conformational behavior of the original mannooligosaccharides, as confirmed by NMR and computational techniques. Binding studies with mannose binding lectins, including concanavalin A, DC-SIGN, and langerin, by enzyme-linked lectin assay and surface plasmon resonance revealed significant variations in their ability to accommodate the OMJ unit in the mannose binding site. Intriguingly, OMJMan segments demonstrated "in line" heteromultivalent effects during binding to the three lectins. Similar to the mannobiose (Man2 ) branches in HMOs, the binding modes involving the external or internal monosaccharide unit at the carbohydrate binding-domain exist in equilibrium, facilitating sliding and recapture processes. This equilibrium, which influences the multivalent binding of HMOs, can be finely modulated upon incorporation of the OMJ sp2 -iminosugar caps. As a proof of concept, the affinity and selectivity towards DC-SIGN and langerin were adjustable by presenting the OMJMan epitope in platforms with diverse architectures and valencies.

Abstract
Polysaccharides, the most diverse forms of organic molecules in nature, exhibit a large number of different biological activities, such as immunomodulatory, radioprotective, antioxidant, regenerative, metabolic, signaling, antitumor, and anticoagulant. The reaction of cells to a polysaccharide is determined by its specific interaction with receptors present on the cell surface, the type of cells, and their condition. The effect of many polysaccharides depends non-linearly on their concentration. The same polysaccharide in different conditions can have very different effects on cells and organisms, up to the opposite; therefore, when conducting studies of the biological activity of polysaccharides, both for the purpose of developing new drugs or approaches to the treatment of patients, and in order to clarify the features of intracellular processes, information about already known research results is needed. There is a lot of scattered data on the biological activities of polysaccharides, but there are few reviews that would consider natural polysaccharides from various sources and possible molecular mechanisms of their action. The purpose of this review is to present the main results published at different times in order to facilitate the search for information necessary for conducting relevant studies.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are essential mediators of many processes in health and disease. They regulate self-/non-self- discrimination, are key elements of cellular communication, cancer, infection and inflammation, and determine protein folding, function and life-times. Moreover, they are integral to the cellular envelope for microorganisms and participate in biofilm formation. These diverse functions of carbohydrates are mediated by carbohydrate-binding proteins, lectins, and the more the knowledge about the biology of these proteins is advancing, the more interfering with carbohydrate recognition becomes a viable option for the development of novel therapeutics. In this respect, small molecules mimicking this recognition process become more and more available either as tools for fostering our basic understanding of glycobiology or as therapeutics. In this review, we outline the general design principles of glycomimetic inhibitors (Section 2). This section is then followed by highlighting three approaches to interfere with lectin function, i.e. with carbohydrate-derived glycomimetics (Section 3.1), novel glycomimetic scaffolds (Section 3.2) and allosteric modulators (Section 3.3). We summarize recent advances in design and application of glycomimetics for various classes of lectins of mammalian, viral and bacterial origin. Besides highlighting design principles in general, we showcase defined cases in which glycomimetics have been advanced to clinical trials or marketed. Additionally, emerging applications of glycomimetics for targeted protein degradation and targeted delivery purposes are reviewed in Section 4.

Water-soluble trehalose glycolipids show superior Mincle binding and signaling but impaired phagocytosis and IL-1β production. Front Mol Biosci 2022; 9:1015210.

Abstract
The tremendous potential of trehalose glycolipids as vaccine adjuvants has incentivized the study of how the structures of these ligands relate to their Mincle-mediated agonist activities. Despite this, structure-activity work in the field has been largely empirical, and less is known about how Mincle-independent pathways might be affected by different trehalose glycolipids, and whether Mincle binding by itself can serve as a proxy for adjuvanticity. There is also much demand for more water-soluble Mincle ligands. To address this need, we prepared polyethylene glycol modified trehalose glycolipids (PEG-TGLs) with enhanced water solubility and strong murine Mincle (mMincle) binding and signaling. However, only modest cytokine and chemokine responses were observed upon the treatment of GM-CSF treated bone-marrow cells with the PEG-TGLs. Notability, no IL-1β was observed. Using RNA-Seq analysis and a representative PEG-TGL, we determined that the more water-soluble adducts were less able to activate phagocytic pathways, and hence, failed to induce IL-1β production. Taken together, our data suggests that in addition to strong Mincle binding, which is a pre-requisite for Mincle-mediated cellular responses, the physical presentation of trehalose glycolipids in colloidal form is required for inflammasome activation, and hence, a strong inflammatory immune response.

Abstract
Microbes produce a rich array of lipidic species that through their location in the cell wall and ability to mingle with host lipids represent a privileged class of immune-active molecules. Lipid-sensing immunity recognizes microbial lipids from pathogens and commensals causing immune responses. Yet microbial lipids are often heterogeneous, in limited supply and in some cases their structures are incompletely defined. Total synthesis can assist in structural determination, overcome supply issues, and provide access to high-purity, homogeneous samples and analogues. This account highlights synthetic approaches to lipidic species from pathogenic and commensal bacteria and fungi that have supported immunological studies involving lipid sensing through the pattern recognition receptor Mincle and cell-mediated immunity through the CD1-T cell axis.
