Abstract
The mannose receptor (MR, CD 206) is an endocytic receptor primarily expressed by macrophages and dendritic cells, which plays a critical role in both endocytosis and antigen processing and presentation. MR carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) exhibit a high binding affinity for branched and linear oligosaccharides. Furthermore, multivalent mannose presentation on the various templates like peptides, proteins, polymers, micelles, and dendrimers was proven to be a valuable approach for the selective and efficient delivery of various therapeutically active agents to MR. This review provides a detailed account of the most relevant and recent aspects of the synthesis and application of mannosylated bioactive formulations for MR-mediated delivery in treatments of cancer and other infectious diseases. It further highlights recent findings related to the necessary structural features of the mannose-containing ligands for successful binding to the MR.

N-glycosylation of mannose receptor (CD206) regulates glycan binding by C-type lectin domains. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102591. [PMID: 36244450 PMCID: PMC9672410 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
The macrophage mannose receptor (MR, CD206) is a transmembrane endocytic lectin receptor, expressed in selected immune and endothelial cells, and is involved in immunity and maintaining homeostasis. Eight of the ten extracellular domains of the MR are C-type lectin domains (CTLDs) which mediate the binding of mannose, fucose, and GlcNAc in a calcium-dependent manner. Previous studies indicated that self-glycosylation of MR regulates its glycan binding. To further explore this structure-function relationship, we studied herein a recombinant version of mouse MR CTLD4-7 fused to human Fc-portion of IgG (MR-Fc). The construct was expressed in different glycosylation-mutant cell lines to study the influence of differential glycosylation on receptor glycan-binding properties. We conducted site-specific N- and O-glycosylation analysis and glycosylation site characterization using mass spectrometry by which several novel O-glycosylation sites were identified in mouse MR and confirmed in human full-length MR. This information guided experiments evaluating the receptor functionality by glycan microarray analysis in combination with glycan-modifying enzymes. Treatment of active MR-Fc with combinations of exoglycosidases, including neuraminidase and galactosidases, resulted in the loss of trans-binding (binding of MR CTLDs to non-MR glycans), due to unmasking of terminal, nonreducing GlcNAc in N-glycans of the MR CTLDs. Regalactosylation of N-glycans rescues mannose binding by MR-Fc. Our results indicate that glycans within the MR CTLDs act as a regulatory switch by masking and unmasking self-ligands, including terminal, nonreducing GlcNAc in N-glycans, which could control MR activity in a tissue- and cell-specific manner or which potentially affect bacterial pathogenesis in an immunomodulatory fashion.

Abstract
A unique glycan-binding protein expressed in macrophages and some types of other immune cells is the mannose receptor (MR, CD206). It is an endocytic, transmembrane protein with multiple glycan-binding domains and different specificities in binding glycans. The mannose receptor is important as it has major roles in diverse biological processes, including regulation of circulating levels of reproductive hormones, homeostasis, innate immunity, and infections. These different functions involve the recognition of a wide range of glycans, and their nature is currently under intense study. But the mannose receptor is just one of many glycan-binding proteins expressed in macrophages, leading to an interest in the potential relationship between the macrophage glycome and how it may regulate cognate glycan-binding protein activities. This review focuses primarily on the mannose receptor and its carbohydrate ligands, as well as macrophages and their glycomes.

Abstract
Rationale: Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the acute coronary syndrome. Detecting plaques with high inflammatory activity and specifically treating those lesions can be crucial to prevent life-threatening cardiovascular events. Methods: Here, we developed a macrophage mannose receptor (MMR)-targeted theranostic nanodrug (mannose-polyethylene glycol-glycol chitosan-deoxycholic acid-cyanine 7-lobeglitazone; MMR-Lobe-Cy) designed to identify inflammatory activity as well as to deliver peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma (PPARγ) agonist, lobeglitazone, specifically to high-risk plaques based on the high mannose receptor specificity. The MMR-Lobe-Cy was intravenously injected into balloon-injured atheromatous rabbits and serial in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT)-near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) structural-molecular imaging was performed. Results: One week after MMR-Lobe-Cy administration, the inflammatory NIRF signals in the plaques notably decreased compared to the baseline whereas the signals in saline controls even increased over time. In accordance with in vivo imaging findings, ex vivo NIRF signals on fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI) and plaque inflammation by immunostainings significantly decreased compared to oral lobeglitazone group or saline controls. The anti-inflammatory effect of MMR-Lobe-Cy was mediated by inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, acute resolution of inflammation altered the inflamed plaque into a stable phenotype with less macrophages and collagen-rich matrix. Conclusion: Macrophage targeted PPARγ activator labeled with NIRF rapidly stabilized the inflamed plaques in coronary sized artery, which could be quantitatively assessed using intravascular OCT-NIRF imaging. This novel theranostic approach provides a promising theranostic strategy for high-risk coronary plaques.

Abstract
The macrophage mannose receptor (CD206, MR) is an endocytic lectin receptor which plays an important role in homeostasis and innate immunity, however, the endogenous glycan and glycoprotein ligands recognized by its C-type lectin domains (CTLD) have not been well studied. Here we used the murine MR CTLD4-7 coupled to the Fc-portion of human IgG (MR-Fc) to investigate the MR glycan and glycoprotein recognition. We probed 16 different cancer and control tissues using the MR-Fc, and observed cell- and tissue-specific binding with varying intensity. All cancer tissues and several control tissues exhibited MR-Fc ligands, intracellular and/or surface-located. We further confirmed the presence of ligands on the surface of cancer cells by flow cytometry. To characterize the fine specificity of the MR for glycans, we screened a panel of glycan microarrays. Remarkably, the results indicate that the CTLD4-7 of the MR is highly selective for specific types of pauci- and oligomannose N-glycans among hundreds of glycans tested. As lung cancer tissue and the lung cancer cell line A549 showed intense MR-Fc binding, we further investigated the MR glycoprotein ligands in those cells by immunoprecipitation and glycoproteomic analysis. All enriched glycoproteins, of which 42 were identified, contained pauci- or oligomannose N-glycans, confirming the microarray results. Our study demonstrates that the MR CTLD4-7 is highly selective for pauci- and oligomannosidic N-glycans, structures that are often elevated in tumor cells, and suggest a potential role for the MR in tumor biology.

Abstract
Recruited macrophages in inflammation attract various ligand-receptor drug delivery approaches. Galactose bound nanocarriers are promising to catch macrophages because of surface-expressed macrophage galactose type-lectin-C (MGL-2) receptor. The present study reported fabrication of galactose conjugated PLGA (GAL-PLGA) polymer and nanoparticles under quality by design (QBD) approach to investigate macrophages targeting potential at inflamed intestine. GAL-PLGA nanoparticles were fabricated through O/W emulsion-evaporation method under QBD approach and Box-Behnken design. Obtained GAL-PLGA nanoparticles have optimum particle size (~118 nm), drug entrapment (87%) and zeta potential (-9.5). TGA, XPRD and FTIR confirmed stability and negate drug-polymer interactions. Further, nanoparticles have considerable hemocompatibility, biocompatibility and cellular uptake; macrophage uptake was inhibited by D-galactose confirming involvement of MGL-2. Moreover, drug retention studies in the DSS-colitis model provide background for potential of nanoparticles to target and reside inflamed intestine. It is concluded that GAL-PLGA nanoparticles are suitable platform to target macrophages at the inflamed intestine through oral route.

Abstract
N-glycosylated proteins produced in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK 293) cells often carry terminal N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and only low levels of sialylation. On therapeutic proteins, such N-glycans often trigger rapid clearance from the patient bloodstream via efficient binding to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) and mannose receptor (MR). This currently limits the use of HEK 293 cells for therapeutic protein production. To eliminate terminal GalNAc, we knocked-out GalNAc transferases B4GALNT3 and B4GALNT4 by CRISPR/Cas9 in FreeStyle 293-F cells. The resulting cell line produced a coagulation factor VII-albumin fusion protein without GalNAc but with increased sialylation. This glyco-engineered protein bound less efficiently to both the ASGP-R and MR in vitro and it showed improved recovery, terminal half-life and area under the curve in pharmacokinetic rat experiments. By overexpressing sialyltransferases ST6GAL1 and ST3GAL6 in B4GALNT3 and B4GALNT4 knock-out cells, we further increased factor VII-albumin sialylation; for ST6GAL1 even to the level of human plasma-derived factor VII. Simultaneous knock-out of B4GALNT3 and B4GALNT4, and overexpression of ST6GAL1 further lowered factor VII-albumin binding to ASGP-R and MR. This novel glyco-engineered cell line is well-suited for the production of factor VII-albumin and presumably other therapeutic proteins with fully human N-glycosylation and superior pharmacokinetic properties.

Abstract
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most lethal diseases, and it is imperative to exploit an advanced drug formulation for its effective treatment. This work aims to develop a mannose receptor-targeted bioadhesive chitosan nanoparticles for effective drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment. The clofazimine loaded chitosan nanoparticles were formulated; their size, charge, polydispersity (PDI), surface morphology, entrapment efficiency (EE) and in-vitro release pattern were established. Also, cellular uptake study on C2C12 cell lines and anti-mycobacterial activity against H37Rv (a standard strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis) were evaluated. The particle sizes of formulated chitosan nanoparticles were in the range of 132–184 nm and EE was also found to be between 73 and 95%. The functionalization of bioadhesive chitosan nanoparticles with mannose was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The uptake studies on the C2C12 cell lines showed that mannosylated nanoparticles were more efficiently internalized when compared to non-targeted nanoparticles. Further, luciferase reporter phage (LRP) assay against H37Rv strain showed that clofazimine nanoparticles were found to be 49.5 times superior in terms of inhibition and anti-mycobacterial activity than free clofazimine. This excellent activity might be attributed to enhanced drug delivery with a promising bioadhesion property of chitosan-based nanoparticles.

Abstract
Background Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreas. The symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of mild and severe AP are different, and severe AP is a potentially life-threatening disease with a high incidence of complications and high mortality rate. Thus, it is urgent to develop an effective approach to reliably discriminate between mild and severe AP. Methods We have developed novel gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic (Gd-DTPA)-loaded mannosylated liposomes (named thereafter M-Gd-NL) that preferably target macrophages in AP. The targeting ability of M-Gd-NL toward macrophages in AP and its ability to discriminate between mild and severe AP were evaluated. Results The liposomes were of desired particle size (~100 nm), Gd-DTPA encapsulation efficiency (~85%), and stability. M-Gd-NL and non-targeted Gd-DTPA-loaded liposomes (Gd-NL) exhibited increased relaxivity compared with Gd-DTPA. Compared with Gd-NL and Gd-DTPA, M-Gd-NL showed increased uptake in macrophages, resulting in increased T1 imaging ability both in vitro (macrophage cell line) and in vivo (severe AP model). Importantly, M-Gd-NL had the ability to discriminate between mild and severe AP, as reflected by a significantly higher T1 magnetic resonance imaging signal in severe AP than in mild AP. M-Gd-NL did not show severe organ toxicity in rats. Conclusion Our data suggest that M-Gd-NL had enhanced magnetic resonance imaging ability by targeting macrophages in AP and good ability to discriminate between mild and severe AP. We believe that M-Gd-NL could shed new light on the diagnosis of AP in the near future.

Abstract
Soluble copolymers of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) have already shown potential as targetable drug-carriers. Here HPMA copolymers were synthesized which contained N-linked aminosugars attached to the poly mer backbone via a diglycyl side-chain. Following radioiodination their body distribution in rats was investigated. Incorporation of mannosamine or glu cosamine caused enhanced deposition in liver macrophages following intra venous and intraperitoneal administration, and increased retention at the site of injection when the carrier was administered subcutaneously. Macrophage pinocytic uptake of certain HPMA copolymers was also assessed using rat peri toneal macrophages cultured in vitro. It was demonstrated that polymers bear ing mannosamine or glucosamine are internalized rapidly by a common recep tor and that the interaction can be inhibited by free D-mannose, L-fucose, but not by D-glucose.

Abstract
Dextran fractions with a narrow molecular weight distribution were modified using the 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate activation method. The activated polymers were subsequently reacted with a small amount of L- tyrosinamide and a number of selected peracetylated ω-amino glycosides of D- mannose, D-galactose, L-fucose and L-rhamnose and including some cluster de rivatives. All monosaccharides were linked to the polymer chain via a carbon C-6 spacer. The number of L-tyrosinamide units introduced could be accurately deter mined by UV absorption spectroscopy. On the other hand, the degree of substi tution by a glycoside ligand was calculated from 1H NMR data.

Abstract
In this chapter, a comprehensive overview of the known ligands for the C-type lectins (CTLs) is provided. Emphasis has been placed on the chemical structure of the glycans that bind to the different CTLs and the amount of structural variation (or overlap) that each CTL can tolerate. In this way, both the synthetic carbohydrate chemist and the immunologist can more readily gain insight into the existing structure-activity space for the CTL ligands and, ideally, see areas of synergy that will help identify and refine the ligands for these receptors.

Abstract
In the last decades, the discovery of metabolites from marine resources showing biological activity has increased significantly. Among marine resources, seaweed is a valuable source of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. The cell walls of marine algae are rich in sulfated polysaccharides, including carrageenan in red algae, ulvan in green algae and fucoidan in brown algae. Sulfated polysaccharides have been increasingly studied over the years in the pharmaceutical field, given their potential usefulness in applications such as the design of drug delivery systems. The purpose of this review is to discuss potential applications of these polymers in drug delivery systems, with a focus on carrageenan, ulvan and fucoidan. General information regarding structure, extraction process and physicochemical properties is presented, along with a brief reference to reported biological activities. For each material, specific applications under the scope of drug delivery are described, addressing in privileged manner particulate carriers, as well as hydrogels and beads. A final section approaches the application of sulfated polysaccharides in targeted drug delivery, focusing with particular interest the capacity for macrophage targeting.

Abstract
New treatments are needed for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB), such as Acinetobacter baumannii. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was previously reported to enhance bacterial clearance of GNB, including A. baumannii. However, here we have shown that 100% of wild-type mice versus 0% of TLR4-deficient mice died of septic shock due to A. baumannii infection, despite having similar tissue bacterial burdens. The strain lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content and TLR4 activation by extracted LPS did not correlate with in vivo virulence, nor did colistin resistance due to LPS phosphoethanolamine modification. However, more-virulent strains shed more LPS during growth than less-virulent strains, resulting in enhanced TLR4 activation. Due to the role of LPS in A. baumannii virulence, an LpxC inhibitor (which affects lipid A biosynthesis) antibiotic was tested. The LpxC inhibitor did not inhibit growth of the bacterium (MIC > 512 µg/ml) but suppressed A. baumannii LPS-mediated activation of TLR4. Treatment of infected mice with the LpxC inhibitor enhanced clearance of the bacteria by enhancing opsonophagocytic killing, reduced serum LPS concentrations and inflammation, and completely protected the mice from lethal infection. These results identify a previously unappreciated potential for the new class of LpxC inhibitor antibiotics to treat XDR A. baumannii infections. Furthermore, they have far-reaching implications for pathogenesis and treatment of infections caused by GNB and for the discovery of novel antibiotics not detected by standard in vitro screens. Novel treatments are needed for infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, a Gram-negative bacterium that is extremely antibiotic resistant. The current study was undertaken to understand the immunopathogenesis of these infections, as a basis for defining novel treatments. The primary strain characteristic that differentiated virulent from less-virulent strains was shedding of Gram-negative lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during growth. A novel class of antibiotics, called LpxC inhibitors, block LPS synthesis, but these drugs do not demonstrate the ability to kill A. baumannii in vitro. We found that an LpxC inhibitor blocked the ability of bacteria to activate the sepsis cascade, enhanced opsonophagocytic killing of the bacteria, and protected mice from lethal infection. Thus, an entire new class of antibiotics which is already in development has heretofore-unrecognized potential to treat A. baumannii infections. Furthermore, standard antibiotic screens based on in vitro killing failed to detect this treatment potential of LpxC inhibitors for A. baumannii infections.

Abstract
Targeting cell populations via endogenous carbohydrate receptors is an appealing approach for drug delivery. However, to be effective, this strategy requires the production of high affinity carbohydrate ligands capable of engaging with specific cell-surface lectins. To develop materials that exhibit high affinity towards these receptors, we synthesized glycopolymers displaying pendent carbohydrate moieties from carbohydrate-functionalized monomer precursors via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. These glycopolymers were fluorescently labeled and used to determine macrophage-specific targeting both in vitro and in vivo. Mannose- and N-acetylglucosamine-containing glycopolymers were shown to specifically target mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) in vitro in a dose-dependent manner as compared to a galactose-containing glycopolymer (30- and 19-fold higher uptake, respectively). In addition, upon macrophage differentiation, the mannose glycopolymer exhibited enhanced uptake in M2-polarized macrophages, an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype prevalent in injured tissue. This carbohydrate-specific uptake was retained in vivo, as alveolar macrophages demonstrated 6-fold higher internalization of mannose glycopolymer, as compared to galactose, following intratracheal administration in mice. We have shown the successful synthesis of a class of functional RAFT glycopolymers capable of macrophage-type specific uptake both in vitro and in vivo, with significant implications for the design of future targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Ricin toxin is an extraordinarily potent inducer of cell death and inflammation. Ricin is also a potent provocateur of the humoral immune system, eliciting a mixture of neutralizing, non-neutralizing and even toxin-enhancing antibodies. The characterization of dozens of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the toxin's enzymatic (RTA) and binding (RTB) subunits has begun to reveal fundamental insights into the underlying mechanisms by which antibodies neutralize (or fail to neutralize) ricin in systemic and mucosal compartments. This information has had immediate applications in the design, development and evaluation of ricin subunit vaccines and immunotherapeutics.

Targeted liposomal drug delivery to monocytes and macrophages. JOURNAL OF DRUG DELIVERY 2010; 2011:727241.

Abstract
As the role of monocytes and macrophages in a range of diseases is better understood, strategies to target these cell types are of growing importance both scientifically and therapeutically. As particulate carriers, liposomes naturally target cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS), particularly macrophages. Loading drugs into liposomes can therefore offer an efficient means of drug targeting to MPS cells. Physicochemical properties including size, charge and lipid composition can have a very significant effect on the efficiency with which liposomes target MPS cells. MPS cells express a range of receptors including scavenger receptors, integrins, mannose receptors and Fc-receptors that can be targeted by the addition of ligands to liposome surfaces. These ligands include peptides, antibodies and lectins and have the advantages of increasing target specificity and avoiding the need for cationic lipids to trigger intracellular delivery. The goal for targeting monocytes/macrophages using liposomes includes not only drug delivery but also potentially a role in cell ablation and cell activation for the treatment of conditions including cancer, atherosclerosis, HIV, and chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Although sialic acid has long been recognized as the primary receptor determinant for attachment of influenza virus to host cells, the specific receptor molecules that mediate viral entry are not known for any cell type. For the infection of murine macrophages by influenza virus, our earlier study indicated involvement of a C-type lectin, the macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), in this process. Here, we have used direct binding techniques to confirm and characterize the interaction of influenza virus with the MMR and to seek additional macrophage surface molecules that may have potential as receptors for viral entry. We identified the macrophage galactose-type lectin (MGL) as a second macrophage membrane C-type lectin that binds influenza virus and is known to be endocytic. Binding of influenza virus to MMR and MGL occurred independently of sialic acid through Ca(2+)-dependent recognition of viral glycans by the carbohydrate recognition domains of the two lectins; influenza virus also bound to the sialic acid on the MMR. Multivalent ligands of the MMR and MGL inhibited influenza virus infection of macrophages in a manner that correlated with expression of these receptors on different macrophage populations. Influenza virus strain A/PR/8/34, which is poorly glycosylated and infects macrophages poorly, was not recognized by the C-type lectin activity of either the MMR or the MGL. We conclude that lectin-mediated interactions of influenza virus with the MMR or the MGL are required for the endocytic uptake of the virus into macrophages, and these lectins can thus be considered secondary or coreceptors with sialic acid for infection of this cell type.

Abstract
C-type lectin receptors expressed on the surface of dendritic cells and macrophages are able to bind glycoproteins of microbial pathogens via mannose, fucose, and N-acetylglucosamine. Langerin on Langerhans cells, dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin on dendritic cells, and mannose receptor (MR) on dendritic cells and macrophages bind the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope protein gp120 principally via high mannose oligosaccharides. These C-type lectin receptors can also oligomerize to facilitate enhanced ligand binding. This study examined the effect of oligomerization of MR on its ability to bind to mannan, monomeric gp120, native trimeric gp140, and HIV type 1 BaL. Mass spectrometry analysis of cross-linked MR showed homodimerization on the surface of primary monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages. Both monomeric and dimeric MR were precipitated by mannan, but only the dimeric form was co-immunoprecipitated by gp120. These results were confirmed independently by flow cytometry analysis of soluble monomeric and trimeric HIV envelope and a cellular HIV virion capture assay. As expected, mannan bound to the carbohydrate recognition domains of MR dimers mostly in a calcium-dependent fashion. Unexpectedly, gp120-mediated binding of HIV to dimers on MR-transfected Rat-6 cells and macrophages was not calcium-dependent, was only partially blocked by mannan, and was also partially inhibited by N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate. Thus gp120-mediated HIV binding occurs via the calcium-dependent, non-calcium-dependent carbohydrate recognition domains and the cysteine-rich domain at the C terminus of MR dimers, presenting a much broader target for potential inhibitors of gp120-MR binding.

Abstract
Dendritic cells are potent antigen-presenting cells that express several membrane lectins, including the mannose receptor and DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin). To identify highly specific ligands for these dendritic cell receptors, oligosaccharides were converted into glycosynthons (Os1) and were used to prepare oligolysine-based glycoclusters, Os-[Lys(Os)]n-Ala-Cys-NH2. Clusters containing two to six dimannosides as well as clusters containing four or five pentasaccharides (Lewisa or Lewisx) or hexasaccharides (Lewisb) were synthesized. The thiol group of the appended cysteine residue allows easy tagging by a fluorescent probe or convenient substitution with an antigen. Surface plasmon resonance was used to determine the affinity of the different glycoclusters for purified mannose receptor and DC-SIGN, whereas flow cytometry and confocal microscopy analysis allowed assessment of cell uptake of fluoresceinyl-labeled glycoclusters. Dimannoside clusters are recognized by the mannose receptor with an affinity constant close to 106 liter.mol-1 but have a very low affinity for DC-SIGN (less than 104 liter x mol-1). Conversely, Lewis clusters have a higher affinity toward DC-SIGN than toward the mannose receptor. Dimannoside clusters are efficiently taken up by human dendritic cells as well as by rat fibroblasts expressing the mannose receptor but not by HeLa cells or rat fibroblasts expressing DC-SIGN; DC-SIGN-expressing cells take up Lewis clusters. The results suggest that ligands containing dimannoside clusters can be used specifically to target the mannose receptor, whereas ligands containing Lewis clusters will be targeted to DC-SIGN.

Abstract
To examine the potential utility of fucosylation of drug carriers for targeted drug delivery to Kupffer cells, the pharmacokinetics of (111)In-labeled fucosylated bovine serum albumin (Fuc-BSA) with different numbers of fucose residues (11, 16, 25, 31 or 41) was studied. After intravenous injection in mice, all (111)In-Fuc-BSAs were mainly delivered to the liver and their hepatic uptake became saturated when the dose was increased. Of these derivatives, only (111)In-Fuc41-BSA showed a slow plasma elimination at low doses, suggesting an interaction with blood components. Examination of binding conditions as well as electrophoretic analysis of the binding components indicated that the serum-type mannan binding protein (MBP) is responsible. Kupffer cells, which possess fucose receptors, showed the highest uptake of (111)In-Fuc41-BSA, followed by endothelial cells and hepatocytes. The hepatic uptake of (111)In-Fuc41-BSA was inhibited by co-injection of Gal42-BSA, but not by Man46-BSA. On the other hand, excess Fuc41-BSA inhibited the hepatic uptake of (111)In-Man46-BSA, while (111)In-Gal42-BSA did not: These findings suggest that not only the fucose receptors on Kupffer cells but also other lectins are involved in the biodistribution of Fuc-BSAs. To understand how the degree of fucose modification affects the binding affinity of Fuc-BSA with hepatic lectins and serum MBP, a pharmacokinetic analysis was performed based on a physiological model. The Michaelis constant of the hepatic uptake of (111)In-Fuc-BSA decreased with an increasing number of fucose units, and the intrinsic hepatic clearance of (111)In-Fuc25-, (111)In-Fuc31- and (111)In-Fuc41-BSAs was close to, or much greater than, the hepatic plasma flow rate, indicating efficient hepatic uptake of these derivatives. These results suggest that fucosylation is a potentially useful method making drug carriers selective for Kupffer cells, although extensive modification might result in retarded delivery due to binding to other lectins like MBP.

Abstract
An alpha-L-fucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.51) exhibiting a wide aglycon specificity expressed in ability of cleaving alpha1 --> 6-, alpha1 -->3-, alpha1 --> 4-, and alpha1 --> 2-O-fucosyl bonds in fucosylated oligosaccharides, has been isolated from culture filtrate of Thermus sp. strain Y5. The alpha-L-fucosidase hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-fucopyranoside with V(max) of 12.0 +/- 0.1 microM/min/mg and K(m) = 0.20 +/- 0.05 mM and is able to cleave off about 90% of total L-fucose from pronase-treated fractions of fucosyl-containing glycoproteins and about 30% from the native glycoproteins. The purified enzyme is a tetramer with a molecular mass of 240 +/- 10 kDa consisting of four identical subunits with a molecular mass of 61.0 +/- 0.5 kDa. The N-terminal sequence showed homology to some alpha-L-fucosidases from microbial and plant sources. Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-fucopyranoside occurs with retention of the anomeric configuration. Transglycosylating activity of the alpha-L-fucosidase was demonstrated in reactions with such acceptors as alcohols, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine while no transglycosylation products were observed in the reaction with p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-fucopyranoside. The enzyme can be classified in glycosyl hydrolase family 29.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis is a disease for which a number of Phase I clinical trials of gene therapy have been initiated. Several factors account for the high level of interest in a gene therapy approach to this disease. CF is the most common lethal inherited disease in Caucasian populations. The lung, the organ that is predominantly responsible for the morbidity and mortality in CF patients, is accessible by a non-invasive method, the inhalation of aerosols. The vectors employed in the Phase I trials have included recombinant adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses and cationic lipids. While there have been some positive results, the success of the vectors until now has been limited by either immunogenicity or low efficiency. A more fundamental obstacle has been the absence of appropriate receptors on the apical surface of airway epithelial cells. Molecular conjugates with carbohydrate substitution to provide targeting offer several potential advantages. Lactosylated polylysine in which 40% of the lysines have been substituted with lactose has been shown to provide a high efficiency of transfection in primary cultures of CF airway epithelial cells. Other important features include a relatively low immunogenicity and cytotoxicity. Most importantly, the lactosylated polylysine was demonstrated to give nuclear localization in CF airway epithelial cells. Until now, most non-viral vectors did not have the capability to provide nuclear localization. These unique qualities provided by the lactosylation of non-viral vectors, such as polylysine may help to advance the development of molecular conjugates sufficiently to warrant their use in future clinical trials for the gene therapy of inherited diseases of the lung.

Because they are sparsely distributed in tissues, dendritic cells (DC) present in nonlymphoid organs are difficult to isolate. Only DC from skin and lung have been successfully studied in culture. The objective of the present work was to investigate the possibility of isolating and culturing DC from an endocrine organ, the thyroid gland, which is particularly susceptible to the development of autoimmune processes. The study was conducted on pig thyroid glands to have sufficient amounts of starting material. This choice required the characterization of immunological reagents capable of recognizing DC markers in the pig species. Using a discontinuous trypsinization procedure, a DC population representing 2% to 3% of the thyroid cell suspension was reproducibly obtained. Isolated DC quantitatively attached to tissue culture-treated dishes and segregated from thyrocytes. DC identified as cells expressing major histocompatibility complex class II molecules, the mannose receptor, and the S100 protein were found to have a high capacity to internalize labeled ligands, dextran, and mannosylated albumin. These cells had a phenotype of immature DC. Secondarily, a fraction of DC detached from culture dishes, and floating DC had low or no endocytic activity, a characteristic of mature DC. Treatment of DC/thyrocytes cocultures with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) activated the transformation of immature DC into mature DC. These data show that DC isolated from the thyroid gland can be maintained immature or activated to undergo maturation in primary culture. The procedure of cell isolation and culture should be adaptable to human thyroid tissue for in vitro analyses of DC-mediated immune responses.

Abstract
Secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) are a group of extracellular enzymes that release fatty acids at the sn-2 position of phospholipids. Group IIA sPLA2 has been detected in inflammatory fluids, and its plasma level is increased in inflammatory diseases. To investigate a potential mechanism of sPLA2-induced inflammation we studied the effect of group IA (from cobra venom) and group IIA (human synovial) sPLA2s on human macrophages. Both sPLA2s induced a concentration- and Ca2+-dependent, noncytotoxic release of beta-glucuronidase (16.2 +/- 2.4% and 13.1 +/- 1.5% of the total content with groups IA and IIA, respectively). Both sPLA2s also increased the rate of secretion of IL-6 and enhanced the expression of IL-6 mRNA. Preincubation of macrophages with inhibitors of the hydrolytic activity of sPLA2 or cytosolic PLA2 did not influence the release of beta-glucuronidase. Incubation of macrophages with p-aminophenyl-mannopyranoside-BSA (mp-BSA), a ligand of the mannose receptor, also resulted in beta-glucuronidase release. However, while preincubation of macrophages with mp-BSA had no effect on beta-glucuronidase release induced by group IIA sPLA2, it enhanced that induced by group IA sPLA2. A blocking Ab anti-mannose receptor inhibited both mp-BSA- and group IIA-induced beta-glucuronidase release. Taken together, these data indicate that group IA and IIA sPLA2s activate macrophages with a mechanism independent from their enzymatic activities and probably related to the activation of the mannose receptor or sPLA2-specific receptors. The secretion of enzymes and cytokines induced by sPLA2s from human macrophages may play an important role in inflammation and tissue damage associated with the release of sPLA2s.

Abstract
Abstract
Peripheral blood dendritic cells (DC) produce IFN-α in response to challenge by many enveloped viruses including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and HIV, whereas Sendai virus predominantly stimulates IFN-α production by monocytes. Glycosylated viral envelope proteins are known to be important for the induction of IFN-α. In this study we demonstrate that stimulation of IFN-α synthesis by HSV is inhibited by a number of monosaccharides, including fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylgalactosamine as well as the yeast polysaccharide mannan, supporting a role for lectin(s) in the IFN-α stimulation pathway. Furthermore, antiserum to the mannose receptor (MR) also inhibited HSV, vesicular stomatitis virus, and HIV-induced IFN-α production, but failed to inhibit the IFN-α induced by Sendai virus. We further demonstrated that freshly isolated blood DC and IFN-α-producing cells responding to HSV stimulation express the MR. This study therefore implicates the MR as an important receptor for the nonspecific recognition of enveloped viruses by DC and the subsequent stimulation of IFN-α production by these viruses. Thus, the MR probably serves as a critical link between innate and adaptive immunity to viruses, especially given the role of the MR in Ag capture by DC and the importance of IFN-α in shaping immunity.

Abstract
Several viral and nonviral methods have introduced functional genes into the lungs. An alternative strategy, receptor-mediated gene transfer, exploits the ability of receptors on the surface of cells to bind and internalize DNA complexes and could potentially be used to deliver genes to specific cells in the lung. The gene encoding human alpha1-antitrypsin (A1AT) was delivered to macrophages in vitro and in vivo by targeting the mannose receptor with mannose-terminal molecular conjugates. The human A1AT transcript was detected 2 d after transfection of macrophages in culture, but transgene expression was transient. Human A1AT protein was secreted into the culture medium, and Western blot hybridization revealed the mature human antiprotease. In addition, Sprague-Dawley rats underwent intravenous injections of increasing doses of plasmid DNA (0.2 mg, 1.0 mg, and 2.0 mg) complexed to the molecular conjugate. Four days after transfection, human A1AT mRNA was found in lungs from six of the 13 rats (46%) that received the higher doses of plasmid. Transgene expression was limited to cells in perivascular and alveolar regions, which conformed to the distribution of pulmonary macrophages. Human A1AT was measured in the epithelial lining fluid of rats treated with transfection complexes. Animals that received 1.0 mg of plasmid had human A1AT levels of 7.4 +/- 3.4 pM, which was significantly different from nontransfected and mock-transfected controls. Thus the mannose receptor permitted direct delivery of genes to pulmonary macrophages, though transgene expression was detected in the lung only at low levels.

Abstract
It is well known that muramyl dipeptide is a minimum required structure of bacterial peptidoglycan responsible for immunoadjuvant activity. Since mannose receptors exist on the surface of macrophages, polymers with branched mannose residues are expected to target moieties to macrophages. To achieve an efficient delivery of D-glucose analogue of muramyl dipeptide (GADP) via receptor-mediated endocytosis by mannose receptors on the surface of macrophages, GADP/carboxymethyl-dextran (CM-Dex)/Man conjugate was synthesized. Moreover, to study the effect of the introduction of mannose residues, we also synthesized GADP/CM-glucomannan (CM-GM) and GADP/CM-Dex conjugates. The immunological enhancement activities of their conjugates were evaluated by measurements of glucose consumption and beta-D-glucuronidase activity from macrophage-like cells. The GADP/CM-Dex/Man and GADP/CM-GM conjugates showed higher immunological enhancement activity than the GADP/CM-Dex conjugate. The immunological enhancement activity of GADP/CM-Dex/Man and GADP/CM-GM conjugates was decreased to the same level of immunological enhancement activity of GADP/CM-Dex conjugate under the presence of excess mannose. These results suggested that the introduction of mannose residues into GADP/CM-Dex conjugate could increase the affinity against macrophage and the immunological enhancement activity of GADP/CM-Dex conjugate itself.

Abstract
Glycoproteins, such as the glycoprotein hormone lutropin (LH), bear oligosaccharides terminating with the sequence SO4-4GalNAcbeta1, 4GlcNAcbeta1,2Manalpha (S4GGnM) and are rapidly removed from the circulation by a receptor present in hepatic endothelial cells and Kupffer cells. Rapid removal from the circulation is essential for attaining maximal hormone activity in vivo. We have isolated a protein from rat liver which has the properties expected for the S4GGnM-specific receptor (S4GGnM-R). The S4GGnM-R is closely related to the macrophage mannose receptor (Man-R) both antigenically and structurally. At least 12 peptides prepared from the S4GGnM-R have amino acid sequences that are identical to those of the Man-R. Nonetheless, the ligand binding properties of the S4GGnM-R and the Man-R differ in a number of respects. The S4GGnM-R binds to immobilized LH but not to immobilized mannose, whereas the Man-R binds to immobilized mannose but not to immobilized LH. When analyzed using a binding assay that precipitates receptor ligand complexes with polyethylene glycol, the S4GGnM-R is able to bind S4GGnM-bovine serum albumin (S4GGnM-BSA) conjugates whereas the Man-R is not. In contrast both the S4GGnM-R and the Man-R are able to bind Man-BSA. Monosaccharides that inhibit binding of Man-BSA by the Man-R enhance binding by the S4GGnM-R. Oligosaccharides terminating with S4GGnM and those terminating with Man are bound at independent sites on the S4GGnM-R. The S4GGnM-R present in hepatic endothelial cells may account for clearance of glycoproteins bearing oligosaccharides terminating with S4GGnM and glycoproteins bearing oligosaccharides terminating with either mannose, fucose, or N-acetylglucosamine.

Abstract
Intravenous (i.v.) administration of phagocytosable chitin particles (1 to 10 microm) in C57BL/6 mice and SCID mice primed alveolar macrophages (Mphi) within 3 days to yield up to a 50-fold increase in their oxidative burst when elicited in vitro with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). C57BL/6 mice pretreated with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against mouse gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) or NK1.1 showed a markedly decreased level of alveolar Mphi priming following injection of chitin particles. To confirm IFN-gamma production in vitro, spleen cells isolated from normal C57BL/6 mice and SCID mice were cultured with chitin particles. Significant IFN-gamma production was observed following stimulation with chitin but not with chitosan or latex beads. When spleen cells were treated with anti-NK1.1 MAb, IFN-gamma production was significantly inhibited. Another set of experiments showed that when C57BL/6 mice were pretreated i.v. with a small dose IFN-gamma, a higher level of priming was induced with not only phagocytosable chitin particles but also phagocytosable chitosan and even latex beads. Likewise, the spleen cell cultures preconditioned with IFN-gamma provided an up-regulation of IFN-gamma production by these phagocytosable particles. Taken together, the in vivo and in vitro results suggest that (i) the alveolar Mphi priming mechanism is due, at least in part, to direct activation of Mphi by IFN-gamma, which is produced by NK1.1+ CD4- cells; (ii) IFN-gamma would have an autocrine-like effect on Mphi and make them more responsive to particle priming; and (iii) phagocytosis of particulates, probably by a postmembrane event such as interiorization, appears to be important for the up-regulation of alveolar Mphi priming and IFN-gamma production.

Abstract
A potential role for the macrophage mannose receptor in human monocyte-derived macrophage fusion was explored by testing the effects of previously described inhibitors of its activity on the formation of interleukin-4-induced foreign body giant cells in vitro Giant cell formation was prevented or reduced in the presence of alpha-man-nan and synthetic neoglycoprotein conjugates according to the following pattern of relative inhibition: mannose-bovine serum albumin (BSA) > N-acetylgucosamine-BSA congruent to glucose-BSA. Laminarin (beta-glucan) or galactose-BSA were not inhibitory. Swainsonine and castanospermine, inhibitors of glycoprotein processing that interfere with the arrival of newly synthesized mannose receptors at the cell surface, also attenuated macrophage fusion and the formation of giant cells, whereas another glycosidase inhibitor, deoxymannojirimycin, was without effect. Mannose receptors were confirmed to be specifically up-regulated by interleukin-4 in this culture system and also demonstrated to be present and concentrated at macrophage fusion interfaces. These data suggest that the macrophage mannose receptor may be an essential participant in the mechanism of interleukin-4-induced macrophage fusion and implicate a novel function for this endocytic/phagocytic receptor in mediating foreign body giant cell formation at sites of chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Gene transfer systems targeting various receptors have been developed to introduce functional genes into cells in culture and into intact animals. A synthetic molecular conjugate, consisting of mannosylated polylysine that exploits endocytosis via the macrophage mannose receptor, was constructed and complexed to expression plasmids containing either the Photinus pyralis luciferase or Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter genes. The DNA complexes were used to transfect murine macrophages isolated from peritoneal exudates in vitro. Luciferase and beta-galactosidase activity was found in transfected cells in culture, whereas complexes consisting of an irrelevant plasmid bound to mannosylated polylysine or the expression plasmid bound to galactosylated polylysine resulted in no detectable transgene expression. Gene transfer was inhibited by the addition of excess mannosylated bovine serum albumin to the culture medium before transfection. Reporter genes were also transferred into macrophages residing in the spleen and liver of adult animals using this system. Luciferase activity was maximal at 4 days after transfection and decreased to lower levels by 16 days. Transgene expression conformed to the distribution of cells that had nonspecific esterase, a cytochemical marker for macrophages. Thus, this system can be used to introduce functional genes into macrophages and may be an approach to the treatment of storage diseases that affect the reticuloendothelial system.

Abstract
Human pancreatic juice, obtained from nine patients after partial excision of the pancreas for bile duct cancer, was fractionated in order to isolate its glycopeptides. Three glycopeptides were purified employing ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. All the glycopeptides were found to be free of sialic acid and galactosamine but to have an unusually high content of L-fucose. The chemical structures of the three glycopeptides were determined using 500-MHz [1H]-NMR spectroscopy. One of them, glycopeptide, GP-4, possessed a biantennary structure with three L-fucose residues. The second glycopeptide, GP-3, had a triantennary structure with four L-fucose residues, and the third one, G-2, had a tetra-antennary structure with five L-fucose residues. The chemical compositions of these glycopeptides, including the absence of sialic acid and the high L-fucose content, indicate that they represent a new class of glycopeptide present in the normal human pancreas.

Abstract
Receptors interacting with terminal sugars as ligands are involved in the binding of Leishmania donovani promastigotes to the macrophage surface and their subsequent internalization. Mannose and glucose are specifically involved in the binding process. Decreased binding occurs to macrophages already infected with L. donovani either in vivo or in vitro. When mannose- or glucose-bearing liposomes are used as ligands the binding shows similar trends and the percentage inhibition of binding with mannose-bearing liposomes increases when compared to that for the glucose-bearing ones. The decreased binding of the ligand seems to be due to a decrease in the number of receptors after infection. The affinity of the ligands for the binding sites either on the normal macrophages or on the infected macrophages apparently remains the same. The results based on the incorporation of [3H]phenyl alanine and supported by the binding of glycosylated liposomes to both infected and non-infected macrophages suggest that protein synthesis, in general, is suppressed in L. donovani-infected macrophages thus affecting also mannose/glucose receptor protein synthesis, resulting in fewer receptors on the macrophage surface.

Abstract
Inhibition of gene expression by antisense oligonucleotides is limited by their low ability to enter cells. Knowing that sugar binding receptors, also called membrane lectins, efficiently internalize neoglycoproteins bearing the relevant sugar, 6-phosphomannose, for instance, oligonucleotides--substituted on their 5'-end with either a fluorescent probe or a radioactive label on the one hand, and bearing a thiol function on their 3'-end, on the other hand,--were coupled onto 6-phosphomannosylated proteins via a disulfide bridge. The oligonucleotide bound to 6-phosphomannosylated serum albumin is much more efficiently internalized roughly 20 times than the free oligonucleotide. Although most of the oligonucleotides are associated with vesicular compartments, oligonucleotides after releasing from the carrier by reduction of the disulfide bridge may find their way to reach the cytosol and then lead to an increase in the efficiency of the oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Anaesthesia and surgery are known to depress granulocyte function in the early postoperative period, leading to deterioration of the immune defence against infection. Carbohydrate-lectin interactions may play an important role in the activities of phagocytic cells in that they facilitate initial host defence in the event of microbial antigenic challenge. A panel of biotinylated (neo)glycoproteins (chemically glycosilated carrier proteins) was used to detect endogenous carbohydrate-binding receptors /lectins/, on peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes of patients undergoing prolonged anaesthesia for replantation surgery. Four hours after induction of anaesthesia, a progressive decline of expression of endogenous sugar receptors on granulocytes was detected using the labelled (neo)glycoproteins lactose-BSA, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-BSA, D-mannose-BSA, sialic-acid-BSA and D-xylose-BSA. Concomitant changes in peripheral white blood cell counts and the lack of depression in the absence of general anaesthetic agents suggested the existence of a possible relationship between reduced expression of (neo)glycoprotein receptors to impaired granulocyte function and anaesthetic-induced immunodepression.

Abstract
Most mammalian macrophages express D-mannose-specific receptor (membrane lectin, Mr 175,000) allowing endocytosis of their ligands, but cells of the monocytic lineage (HL60, U937, monocyte) lack this receptor. However, after permeabilization, promyelocytic, promonocytic cells and monocytes bound fluoresceinylated D-mannose-terminated neoglycoproteins as evidenced by flow cytometry. Under these conditions, confocal analysis confirmed the intracellular membrane localization of the labeling and the absence of nuclear binding. An intracellular D-mannose-specific receptor was isolated from the human promyelocytic cell line HL60, by affinity chromatography on 4-isothiocyanatophenyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside-substituted Affi-gel as a 60,000-Mr membrane protein requiring divalent cations for the ligand binding. Under the same conditions, mouse macrophages were shown to express a 175,000-Mr D-mannose-specific receptor but not the 60,000-Mr receptor.

Abstract
The ability of Candida albicans to establish an infection involves multiple components of this fungal pathogen, but its ability to persist in host tissue may involve primarily the immunosuppressive property of a major cell wall glycoprotein, mannan. Mannan and oligosaccharide fragments of mannan are potent inhibitors of cell-mediated immunity and appear to reproduce the immune deficit of patients with the mucocutaneous form of candidiasis. However, neither the exact structures of these inhibitory species nor their mechanisms of action have yet been clearly defined. Different investigators have proposed that mannan or mannan catabolites act upon monocytes or suppressor T lymphocytes, but research from unrelated areas has provided still other possibilities for consideration. These include interference with cytokine activities, lymphocyte-monocyte interactions, and leukocyte homing. To stimulate further research of the immunosuppressive property of C. albicans mannan, we have reviewed (i) the relationship of mannan to other antigens and virulence factors of the fungus; (ii) the chemistry of mannan, together with methods for preparation of mannan and mannan fragments; and (iii) the historical evidence for immunosuppression by Candida mannan and the mechanisms currently proposed for this property; and (iv) we have speculated upon still other mechanisms by which mannan might influence host defense functions. It is possible that understanding the immunosuppressive effects of mannan will provide clues to novel therapies for candidiasis that will enhance the efficacy of both available and future anti-Candida agents.

Abstract
Cell interactions during mouse development have been shown to involve carbohydrate-containing macromolecules (glycoconjugates). We have therefore used a series of fluorescein-labelled synthetic glycoproteins to determine if mouse oocytes and zygotes also express sugar binding molecules (endogenous lectins) which might participate in such interactions. Unfertilized secondary oocytes did not express endogenous lectins at 4 degrees C but a low level of expression of fucose, mannose, and galactose-binding activity could be detected at 37 degrees C. In contrast, the zygote clearly expressed three classes of endogenous lectins, with preferential binding for i) fucose or mannose, ii) glucose or galactose, and iii) lactose. The expression of these lectins was much reduced at 4 degrees C and maximal binding at 37 degrees C was achieved only after 2 h incubation. We therefore conclude that a low level of endogenous lectin expression in the mouse oocyte is greatly enhanced after fertilisation and that, at both stages, expression, or the detection of expression, is markedly temperature dependent.
