N-glycan in cockroach allergen regulates human basophil function.


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cockroach allergen exposure elicits cockroach sensitization and poses an increased risk for asthma. However, the major components in cockroach allergen and the mechanisms underlying the induction of cockroach allergen-induced allergy and asthma remain largely elusive. We sought to examine the role of cockroach-associated glycan in regulating human basophil function.

Methods

N-linked glycans from naturally purified cockroach allergen Bla g 2 were characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Binding of cockroach allergen to serum IgE from cockroach allergic subjects was determined by solid-phase binding immunoassays. Role of cockroach associated glycan in histamine release and IL-4 production from human basophils was examined. Expression of C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) and their role in mediating glycan-uptake in the basophils was also investigated.

Results

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric analysis of N-glycan from Bla g 2 showed complex hybrid-types of glycans that terminated with mannose, galactose, and/or N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc). Deglycosylated Bla g 2 showed reduced binding to IgE and was less capable of inducing histamine release from human basophils. In contrast, N-glycan derived from Bla g 2 significantly inhibited histamine release and IL-4 production from basophils passively sensitized with serum from cockroach allergic subjects. An analysis of CLRs revealed the expression of DC-SIGN and DCIR, but not MRC1 and dectin-1, in human basophils. Neutralizing antibody to DCIR, but not DC-SIGN, significantly inhibited Bla g 2 uptake by human basophils. A dose-dependent bindings of cockroach allergen to DCIR was also observed.

Conclusions

These observations indicate a previously unrecognized role for cockroach allergen-associated glycans in allergen-induced immune reactions, and DCIR may play a role in mediating the regulation of glycan on basophil function.
