Abstract:
:Identification of mycobacterial adhesins is needed to understand better the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and to develop new strategies to fight this infection. In this work, THP-1 monocytic cells were incubated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture filtrate proteins labelled with biotin and a dominant 19-kDa adhesin was found. This adhesin was characterized as the glycosylated and acylated 19-kDa antigen (Rv 3763). These findings were confirmed in assays with culture filtrate proteins and cell-wall fractions from a recombinant Mycobacterium smegmatis strain that overexpresses the 19-kDa antigen. Further, fluorescent microspheres coated with recombinant culture filtrate proteins adhere to cells in higher numbers than microspheres coated with native M. smegmatis proteins. The binding of the 19-kDa antigen to cells was inhibited with mannose receptor competitor sugars, Ca(2+) chelators and with a monoclonal antibody to the human mannose receptor. Phagocytosis assays showed high-level binding of bacilli to THP-1 cells that was inhibited with alpha-methyl-mannoside, mannan, EDTA and mAbs to the mannose receptor and to the 19-kDa M. tuberculosis antigen. Immunoprecipitation, cell-surface ELISA and immunostaining confirmed the expression of the mannose receptor by THP-1 cells. In conclusion, here we show that the macrophage mannose receptor, considered a pathogen pattern recognition receptor, may interact with mannose residues of mycobacterial glycoproteins that could promote the phagocytosis of mycobacteria.
