GlycoChat Uncovers Glycan–Lectin Circuits in the Tumor Microenvironment of Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aberrant glycosylation drives cancer progression, yet its role in the tumor microenvironment remains unclear. We developed GlycoChat to map glycan–lectin circuits at single‐cell resolution. We discovered that cancer cells induce immunosuppressive macrophage differentiation and impair phagocytosis through interactions with CLEC10A and SIGLEC3 ...

Identification and purification of an endogenous receptor for the lectin pallidin from Polysphondylium pallidum. [PDF]

, 1982
We report the identification and purification of an endogenous carbohydrate-containing receptor of pallidin, the cell surface lectin implicated in mediating cell-cell adhesion in the cellular slime mold Polysphondylium pallidum.

Mannose-binding lectin and its genetic variants [PDF]

Genes & Immunity, 2006
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a collagen-like serum protein that mediates activation of the complement system and is of importance for host defence. Common variant alleles situated both in the promoter and structural region of the human MBL gene (MBL2) influence the stability and the serum concentration of the protein.

Machine Learning‐Enhanced Analysis of Exosomal Surface Sialic Acid Using Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Therapeutic Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Machine learning‐assisted surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy analysis of exosomal sialic acid for ovarian cancer diagnosis, as well as independent monitoring of exosomal sialic acid expression levels across different treatment periods, reveals a potential correlation with treatment response.

Mannose-binding lectin levels and MBL2 gene polymorphisms are associated with dengue infection in Brazilian children at the early ages

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background: The mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in innate immunity. Genetically determined variations in serum levels of MBL may influence the susceptibility and clinical outcome of dengue infection in early life.

Membralin Assembles a MAN1B1–VCP Complex to Target Foreign Glycoproteins from the Endoplasmic Reticulum to Lysosomes for Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies Membralin as an ER‐phagy receptor that recruits MAN1B1 and VCP to form a selective ERLAD complex. By sensing dense N‐glycan clusters on viral fusion glycoproteins, this ubiquitin‐independent pathway directs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike, Ebola GP, influenza HA, and HIV‐1 Env to lysosomal degradation, thereby limiting viral infectivity ...

Association of Mannose-Binding Lectin 2 (mbl2) gene heterogeneity and its serum concentration with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2014
The aim of the study was to detect prevalence of MBL2 exon 1 (codons 52, 54 and 57) genetic polymorphism in postmenopausal women in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its possible role as genetic risk factor for susceptibility to occurrence of osteoporosis in ...
