Abstract
The mannose receptor (MR) is a heavily glycosylated endocytic receptor that recognizes both mannosylated and sulfated ligands through its C-type lectin domains and cysteine-rich (CR) domain, respectively. Differential binding properties have been described for MR isolated from different sources, and we hypothesized that this could be due to altered glycosylation. Using MR transductants and purified MR, we demonstrate that glycosylation differentially affects both MR lectin activities. MR transductants generated in glycosylation mutant cell lines lacked most mannose internalization activity, but could internalize sulfated glycans. Accordingly, purified MR bearing truncated Man5-GlcNAc2 glycans (Man5 -MR) or non-sialylated complex glycans (SA0-MR) did not bind mannosylated glycans, but could recognize SO4-3-Gal in vitro. Additional studies showed that, although mannose recognition was largely independent of the oligomerization state of the protein, recognition of sulfated carbohydrates was mostly mediated by self-associated MR and that, in SA0-MR, there was a higher proportion of oligomeric MR. These results suggest that self-association could lead to multiple presentation of CR domains and enhanced avidity for sulfated sugars and that non-sialylated MR is predisposed to oligomerize. Therefore, the glycosylation of MR, terminal sialylation in particular, could influence its binding properties at two levels. (i) It is required for mannose recognition; and (ii) it modulates the tendency of MR to self-associate, effectively regulating the avidity of the CR domain for sulfated sugar ligands.

Abstract
Here we present experimental evidence that phagocytic cells use modulation of specific components of their glycocalyx to regulate their binding capacity. Particles coated with antibodies specific for the CD32 medium affinity IgG receptor were driven along human monocytic THP-1 cells (expressing CD32) in a flow chamber operated at low shear rate. Surprisingly, only minimal adhesion was observed. However, when cells were activated by exposure to fibronectin-coated surfaces and/or soluble γ interferon, adhesion efficiency was dramatically increased, whereas the apparent glycocalyx thickness displayed 20% decrease, and the surface density of CD43/leukosialin carbohydrate epitopes displayed 30–40% decrease on activated cells. The existence of a causal link between adhesion increase and glycocalyx alteration was strongly supported by the finding that (i) both phenomena displayed similar kinetics, (ii) an inverse relationship between THP-1 cell binding capacity and glycocalyx density was demonstrated at the individual cell level, and (iii) adhesion enhancement could not be ascribed to an increased binding site density or improved functional capacity of activated cells. Additional experiments revealed that cell-to-particle adhesion resulted in delayed (i.e. more than a few minutes) egress of CD43/leukosialin from contact areas. Since the time scale of particle attachment was less than a second, surface mobility should not affect the potential of CD43 to impair the initial step of adhesion. Finally, studies performed with fluorescent lectins suggested that THP-1 cell activation and increased adhesive potential were related to a decrease of O-glysosylation rather than N-glycosylation of surface glycoproteins.

Abstract
We recently reported that the sialic acid-specific binding sites of CD22 molecules on B cells are masked by endogenous ligands, and can be unmasked by sialidase treatment or cellular activation. Here, we show that many other human blood leukocyte types have endogenous sialic acid binding sites that can be unmasked by sialidase treatment. Truncation of sialic acid side chains on the soluble probes used for detection abolishes all binding, indicating the specificity of the interaction for the details of sialic acid structure. There is limited overlap between alpha2-6- and alpha2-3-sialic acid-specific binding sites, which are unmasked on monocytes, natural killer cells, a minority of mature T cells, neutrophils, and some cultured human leukemic cell lines. Activation with phorbol ester and calcium ionophore causes spontaneous exposure of some of the binding sites, occurring over a period of minutes on neutrophils and several hours on monocytes and U937 leukemia cells. Activation is accompanied by some evidence for desialylation of cell surface molecules. Thus, many human blood cells have specific binding sites for sialic acids, masked by endogenous sialylated ligands. Cellular activation can unmask these sites, possibly by the action of an endogenous sialidase. The nearly universal masking of such sites in unactivated blood cells could explain why many of these sialic acid-binding lectins have not been previously discovered. Similar considerations may apply to sialic acid binding lectins of other cell types and tissues.

Abstract
Abstract
Previous studies established that variable degrees and types of glycosylation can account for differences in the ability of CD44 to function as a receptor for hyaluronic acid. We have now used neuraminidase treatment to conclude that sialylation negatively regulates CD44 on the human monocytic cell line THP-1 and peripheral blood monocytes. Both of these cell types displayed increased receptor activity after overnight culture with LPS. Of particular interest, the sialidase inhibitor 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid completely blocked the LPS induced recognition of hyaluronic acid by THP-1 cells. Furthermore, acquisition of this characteristic paralleled induction of one type of sialidase activity. Monocytes may be capable of enzymaticly remodeling cell surface CD44, altering their ability to interact with the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Differentiation of most T lymphocytes is characterized not only by the variable expression of CD4/CD8 coreceptor molecules and increased surface density of the T cell antigen receptor, but also by changes in the glycosylation pattern of cell surface glycolipids or glycoproteins. In this work we evaluated the changes in the sialylation pattern in thymus sections from normal and dexamethasone treated mice. We used sialic acid specific lectins, such as Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA, NeuAcalpha2,6-Gal specific) and Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA, NeuAcalpha2,3-Gal specific). Our results indicate that the sialylation pattern was modified during the maturation process of thymic cells. The immature CD4-CD8- and CD4+CD8+ cortical thymocytes were recognized by SNA, whereas the mature single positive (CD4+ or CD8+) medullary cells, preferentially bound MAA lectin. However, in the corticomedullary region we found not only SNA+ cells, but also MAA+ cells. In the thymus of dexamethasone treated mice, the clusters of thymocytes undergoing apoptosis in the cortex were characteristically stained by SNA. These results suggest that in the initial stages of the differentiation pathway, a great number of thymocytes express an alpha2,6 linked sialic acid on their surface and as they progress to more mature stages there is a change in the sialylation pattern to alpha2,3 linked sialic acids probably due to a regulated expression of different sialyltransferases, which could be modulated by the thymic microenvironment.

Abstract
CD22 is a B cell-restricted glycoprotein involved in signal transduction and modulation of cellular activation. It is also an I-type lectin (now designated Siglec-2), whose extracellular domain can specifically recognize alpha2-6-linked sialic acid (Sia) residues. This activity is postulated to mediate intercellular adhesion and/or to act as a coreceptor in antigen-induced B cell activation. However, studies with recombinant CD22 indicate that the lectin function can be inactivated by expression of alpha2-6-linked Sia residues on the same cell surface. To explore whether this masking phenomenon affects native CD22 on B cells, we first developed a probe to detect the lectin activity of recombinant CD22 expressed on Chinese hamster ovary cells (which have no endogenous alpha2-6-linked Sia residues). This probe is inactive against CD22-positive B lymphoma cells and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblasts which express high levels of alpha2-6-linked Sia residues. Enzymatic desialylation unmasks the CD22 lectin activity, indicating that endogenous Sia residues block the CD22 lectin-binding site. Truncation of the side chains of cell surface Sia residues by mild periodate oxidation (known to abrogate Sia recognition by CD22) also had this unmasking effect, indicating that the effects of desialylation are not due to a loss of negative charge. Normal resting B cells from human peripheral blood gave similar findings. However, the lectin is partially unmasked during in vitro activation of these cells. Thus, the lectin activity of CD22 is restricted by endogenous sialylation in resting B cells and may be transiently unmasked during in vivo activation, perhaps to modulate intercellular or intracellular interactions at this critical stage in the humoral response.

Abstract
Amaranthus leucocarpus lectin (ALL) is specific for GalNAc residue found in the inner core of Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha 1,O-Ser/Thr disaccharide (T-antigen) or GalNAc alpha 1,O-Ser/Thr (Tn-antigen). Flow cytometric analysis using fluorescein-labeled lectin and monoclonal antibodies against human cell surface markers indicated that 5.7% of mononuclear cells from human healthy donors are recognized by ALL. These cells have the phenotype CD2+CD4+CD19- and most of the lymphocytes recognized are also CD27+, CD45RA+ and CD43+. ALL possesses mitogenic activity on lymphocytes after neuraminidase treatment. Our results indicate that the receptors recognized by ALL could be considered surface markers for naive human T lymphocyte subsets.

Abstract
Resting T cells spontaneously adhere in a selective manner to potent accessory cells, such as dendritic cells (DC) and lymphoblastoid B blasts (LCL). Here we demonstrate that leukosialin (CD43) and major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC-I) might play a critical role in this process. T cell conjugate formation with monocyte-derived DC (md-DC) and LCL could be strongly inhibited by either preincubating T cells with Fab fragments of CD43 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 6F5 or by preincubating md-DC or LCL with MHC-I mAb W6/32. Intact CD43 mAb 6F5, in contrast to monovalent Fab fragments, enhanced T cell adhesiveness by transactivating CD2 binding to CD58 molecules. Interestingly, induction of this proadhesive signal via CD43 with intact 6F5 mAb was found to revert mAb W6/32-mediated inhibition of T cell conjugate formation. These observations indicated that CD43 cross-linkage mimics and monovalent mAb 6F5 inhibits interaction of T cell CD43 with a stimulatory ligand on opposing cells, presumably MHC-I. For the demonstration of direct physical interaction between CD43 on T cells and MHC-I-coated beads it was necessary, however, to ligate CD2 on T cells with a stimulatory pair of CD2 mAbs (VIT13 plus TS2/18). This suggests that CD2 ligation crosswise upregulates CD43 binding avidity for MHC-I and that both adhesion molecule pairs (CD43/MHC-I and CD2/CD58) act in concert to induce and mediate T cell conjugate formation with certain cell types.

Abstract
Although CD44 is expressed on a wide variety of cell types, few of them use it to recognize the ligand hyaluronan (HA). A glycosylation-defective clone of Chinese hamster ovary cells (Lec 8) bound HA, demonstrating that complete processing of glycoproteins with addition of a full complement of sialic acid is not required. On the contrary, subsequent findings revealed that complex sugars on CD44 can actually inhibit ligand recognition. Two subclones of wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells with similar amounts of surface CD44 were isolated on the basis of HA binding and found to differ with respect to CD44 size as well as staining with fluorescent lectins. Treatment of the nonbinding clone with tunicamycin reduced the size of the protein and allowed the cells to recognize HA via CD44. This function was also induced by treatment with deglycosylating enzymes (either a mixture of endoglycosidase F and N-glycosidase F or neuraminidase alone). A possible role for glycosylation in regulation of adhesion was then sought with a series of normal and transformed murine cells. Disruption of glycosylation or treatment with deglycosylating enzymes did not induce ligand binding in an interleukin 7-dependent pre-B cell line, and splenic B cells also appeared to be in an inactive state. Some normal B cells acquired the ability to recognize HA after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide or interleukin 5 and had distinctive surface characteristics (loss of immunoglobulin D and acquisition of CD43). An additional subset of activated cells might have been in a transitional state, because the cells bound ligand after neuraminidase treatment. The ligand-binding ability of a purified CD44-immunoglobulin fusion protein dramatically increased after neuraminidase treatment. Thus, differential glycosylation of this molecule is sufficient to influence its recognition function. Cell adhesion involving HA can be regulated by multiple mechanisms, one of which involves variable glycosylation of CD44.
