The ‘involution’ of mannose-binding lectin [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 2005
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) acts as a serum opsonin in innate immune defense and induces complement activation by the lectin pathway. In humans, low levels of functional serum MBL are caused by the dominant action of three single nucleotide substitutions in exon 1 that disrupt the glycine-rich backbone structure of the protein.

Activity of mannose‐binding lectin in centenarians [PDF]

Aging Cell, 2012
SummaryWe analyzed MBL2 gene variants in two cohorts of centenarians, octo‐nonagenarians and nonagenarians, and in the general population, one from Sardinia Island (Italy), recruited in the frame of the AKea study, and another from Campania (southern Italy), to search for haplotypes related to longevity.

Viral Evasion of Innate Immune Defense: The Case of Resistance of Pandemic H1N1 Influenza A Virus to Human Mannose-Binding Proteins

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Mannose-binding lectins effectively inhibit most seasonal strains of influenza A virus and contribute to the innate host defense vs. these viruses. In contrast, pandemic IAV strains are largely resistant to these lectins, likely contributing to increased

Heterogeneity in glycan composition on the surface of HIV-1 envelope determines virus sensitivity to lectins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Lectins that target N-glycans on the surface of HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoprotein have the potential for use as antiviral agents. Although progress has been made in deciphering the molecular details of lectin and Env glycan interaction, further studies ...

Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Mannose-Binding Lectin and Susceptibility to Schistosomiasis [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Human ficolin 2 (encoded by FCN2) and mannose-binding lectin (encoded by MBL2) bind to specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns, activate the complement lectin cascade in a similar manner, and are associated with several infectious diseases. Our recently published study established certain FCN2 promoter variants and ficolin-2 serum levels as ...

Mannose-Binding Lectin in HIV Infection [PDF]

Future Virology, 2008
Infection with HIV represents a significant global health problem, with high infection rates and high mortality worldwide. Treatment with antiretroviral therapy is inaccessible to many patients and efficacy is limited by development of resistance and side effects.

Man-Specific, GalNAc/T/Tn-Specific and Neu5Ac-Specific Seaweed Lectins as Glycan Probes for the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Coronavirus

Marine Drugs, 2020
Seaweed lectins, especially high-mannose-specific lectins from red algae, have been identified as potential antiviral agents that are capable of blocking the replication of various enveloped viruses like influenza virus, herpes virus, and HIV-1 in vitro.
