Project description:Mycobacterial arabinogalactan (AG) is an essential cell wall component of Mycobacteria and a frequent structural and bio-synthetical target for anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug development. Yet, it is unclear whether mycobacterial AG is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) with an elusive pattern recognition receptor (PRR). Here, we report that mycobacterial AG is recognized by galectin-9 and exacerbates mycobacterial infection. Administration of AG-specific aptamers inhibited cellular infiltration caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) or Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and moderately increased survival of Mtb-infected mice or Mycobacterium marinum-infected zebrafish. AG interacted with carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) 2 of galectin-9 with high affinity, and galectin-9 associated with transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) via CRD2 to trigger subsequent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) as well as induction of the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Moreover, deletion of galectin-9 or inhibition of MMPs blocked AG-induced pathological impairments in the lung, and the AG-galectin-9 axis aggravated the process of Mtb infection in mice. These results demonstrate that AG is an important virulence factor of mycobacteria and galectin-9 is a novel receptor for Mtb and other mycobacteria, paving the way for the development of novel effective TB immune modulators.

Project description:Microarray analyses were performed in order to determine the effect of galectin-3 ablation on the endothelial transcriptional response in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Galectin-3-deficient mice (KO) and wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) were fed a high-fat diet (60% fat calories) or standard chow for 8 weeks. CD105+/CD45- endothelial cells were isolated from the aortae and skeletal muscles of these mice by FACS. Whole genome microarray expression profiling revealed greater transcriptional dysregulation in the endothelium of the KO after high-fat feeding compared to WT. Transcripts dysregulated in the KO endothelium after HFD include those involved in glucose uptake and insulin signaling, oxidative stress, vasoregulation, coagulation, and atherogenesis. Real-time PCR confirmed transcriptional downregulation of the glucose transporter, Glut4, and immunofluorescence staining confirmed reduced GLUT4 protein in the endothelium and mudcle of the KO compared to WT. The transcriptional and histological data was consistent with physiological studies showing exacerbated hyperglycemia and coagulation in the KO. These results suggest that galectin-3 serves a protective role against metabolic dysregulation and endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. Galectin-3-deficient mice (KO) and wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) were fed either a high-fat diet (60% fat calories) or standard chow diet (12% fat calories) for 8 weeks. Three independent experiments were performed. For each experiment, the aorta and skeletal muscle from 3-4 animals per diet/genotype group were excised and pooled for each tissue. Live, CD105+/CD45- endothelial cells were isolated from the aortic and muscle suspensions by FACS.

Project description:Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that ranks among the leading causes of pain, adult disability, shortening of working life, and socioeconomic costs worldwide. The mechanisms underlying osteoarthritis pathogenesis are yet to be fully elucidated, thus limiting current disease management and treatment. Galectin-1 is an endogenous carbohydrate-binding protein central to adhesion via glycan-bridging, glycoconjugate-mediated signaling, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cancers, and host-pathogen interactions. The chondrocyte glycophenotype, which can act as a system of counter-receptors for galectin binding, is compromised in osteoarthritis. We here investigated Galectin-1 and associated gene network's role in human osteoarthritis pathogenesis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that Galectin-1 associates with osteoarthritic cartilage and subchondral bone histopathology and severity (p<0.0001, n=29 patients). Glycan-dependent Galectin-1 binding to osteoarthritic chondrocytes' cell surface led to marked upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases and activation of NF-κB. Biochemical, molecular and genome-wide analyses showed that Galectin-1 strongly activates a large inflammatory gene network (p<10-16). Bioinformatic analyses of gene promoters up-regulated by Galectin-1 unveiled an overwhelming NF-κB signaling signature. Inhibition of any of several components of the NF-κB pathway using dedicated inhibitors led to dose-dependent impairment of Galectin-1-mediated transcriptional activation. This study identifies for the first time Galectin-1 as an activator of clinically relevant inflammatory-response genes co-regulated by NF-κB. Since inflammation is critical to cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis, this report is also first to put glycobiology at the center-stage of osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration. Finally, this is the first report to uncover a Galectin-1 gene signature and associated gene network in any biological setting or species.

For microarray experiments, osteoarthritic chondrocytes were isolated from five male patients (47-78 years). Following starvation, cells were incubated in the presence of 50 µg/ml recombinant Galectin-1 for 24 h. For each donor population, untreated cells were included as control. In total, 10 samples were analyzed.

Project description:Deeper understanding of the crosstalk between host cells and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) provides crucial guidelines for the rational design of novel intervention strategies against tuberculosis (TB). Mycobacteria possess a unique complex cell wall with arabinogalactan (AG) as critical component. AG has been identified as a virulence factor of Mtb which is recognized by host galectin-9. Here we demonstrate that galectin-9 directly inhibited mycobacterial growth through AG-binding property of carbohydrate-recognition domain 2. Furthermore, IgG antibodies with AG specificity were detected in serum of TB patients. Based on the interaction between galectin-9 and AG, we developed monoclonal antibody (mAb) screening assay and identified AG-specific mAbs which profoundly inhibit Mtb growth. Mechanistically, proteomic profiling and morphological characterizations revealed that AG-specific mAbs regulate AG biosynthesis, thereby inducing cell wall swelling. Thus, direct AG-binding by galectin-9 or antibodies contributes to protection against TB. Our findings pave the way for the rational design of novel immunotherapeutic strategies for TB control.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) causes significant mortality among men worldwide. Galectin-4 plays an important roles in regulatiog cancer metastasis and high level of galectin-4 correlated with poor survival in subpopulation of PCa patients. To further understand the galectin-4-mediated signature and develop effective treatment, we froced expressed galectin-4 in 22Rv1 and LNCaP cells, and downregulated galectin-4 in 22Rv1-M4 cells. Next, cDNA microarray were applyed to study galectin-4-mediated gene expression and cancer progression.
