Tetra- and hexavalent mannosides inhibit the pro-apoptotic, antiproliferative and cell surface clustering effects of concanavalin-A: impact on MT1-MMP functions in marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) mobilization and recruitment by experimental vascularizing tumors involves membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) functions. Given that the mannose-specific lectin Concanavalin-A (ConA) induces MT1-MMP expression and mimics biological lectins/carbohydrate interactions, we synthesized and tested the potential of 11 mannoside clusters to block ConA activities on MSC. We found that tetra- and hexavalent mannosides reversed ConA-mediated changes in MSC morphology and antagonized ConA-induced caspase-3 activity and proMMP-2 activation. Tetra- and hexavalent mannosides also inhibited ConA- but not the cytoskeleton disrupting agent Cytochalasin-d-induced MT1-MMP cell surface proteolytic processing mechanisms, and effects on cell cycle phase progression. The antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic impact of ConA on the MT1-MMP/glucose-6-phosphate transporter signaling axis was also reversed by these mannosides. In conclusion, we designed and identified glycocluster constructions that efficiently interfered with carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) interaction with oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins at the cell surface of MSC. These glycoclusters may serve in carbohydrate-based anticancer strategies through their ability to specifically target MT1-MMP pleiotropic functions in cell survival, proliferation, and extracellular matrix degradation.
