Adamantane Containing Peptidoglycan Fragments Enhance RANTES and IL-6 Production in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Macrophages

Molecules, 2020
We report the enhancement of the lipopolysaccharide-induced immune response by adamantane containing peptidoglycan fragments in vitro. The immune stimulation was detected by Il-6 (interleukine 6) and RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell ...

Metabolic clogging of mannose triggers dNTP loss and genomic instability in human cancer cells

eLife, 2023
Mannose has anticancer activity that inhibits cell proliferation and enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy. How mannose exerts its anticancer activity, however, remains poorly understood.

Altered mannose metabolism in chronic stress and depression is rapidly reversed by vitamin B12

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
GDP-Mannose Pyrophosphorylase B (GMPPB) is a key enzyme for glycosylation. Previous studies suggested a dysregulation of GMPBB and mannose in depression. Evidence, however, was sporadic and interventions to reverse these changes are unknown.

Mannose Ligands for Mannose Receptor Targeting

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
The mannose receptor (MR, CD 206) is an endocytic receptor primarily expressed by macrophages and dendritic cells, which plays a critical role in both endocytosis and antigen processing and presentation. MR carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) exhibit a high binding affinity for branched and linear oligosaccharides.

Antibiotic tolerance due to restriction of cAMP-Crp regulation by mannitol, a non-glucose-family PTS carbon source

mSphere
Enzyme-IIA (EIIAGlc, Crr) of the phosphotransferase system (PTS) connects the uptake of glucose-family sugars to the cAMP-Crp regulatory cascade; phosphorylated EIIAGlc enhances cAMP-Crp activity, which then contributes to the antibiotic-mediated ...

Mannose-functionalization of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein nanoparticles improves payload delivery and enhances M2-to-M1 phenotype reprogramming of RAW 264.7 macrophages polarized by B16-F10 melanoma cells

Frontiers in Drug Delivery, 2023
The targeting and conversion of the immunosuppressive (M2) tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to an immunostimulatory (M1) phenotype can induce tumor regression in advanced melanoma.
