title: Inhibition of the bacterial lectins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with monosaccharides and peptides.
abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) can cause infections in compromised hosts by interacting with the glycocalyx of host epithelial cells. It binds to glycostructures on mucosal surfaces via two lectins, which are carbohydrate-binding proteins, named PA-IL and PA-IIL, and blocking this interaction is, thus, an attractive anti-adhesive strategy. The aim of this study was to determine by ciliary beat frequency (CBF) analysis whether monosaccharides or peptides mimicking glycostructures represent blockers of PA lectin binding to human airway cilia. The treatment with monosaccharides and peptides alone did not change the CBF compared to controls and the tested compounds did not influence the cell morphology or survival, with the exception of peptide pOM3. PA-IL caused a decrease of the CBF within 24 h. D-galactose as well as the peptides mimicking HNK-1, polysialic acid and fucose compensated the CBF-modulating effect of PA-IL with different affinities. PA-IIL also bound to the human airway cilia in cell culture and resulted in a decrease of the CBF within 24 h. L(-)-fucose and pHNK-1 blocked the CBF-decreasing effect of PA-IIL. The HNK-1-specific glycomimetic peptide had a high affinity for binding to both PA-IL and PA-IIL, and inhibited the ciliotoxic effect of both lectins, thus, making it a strong candidate for a therapeutic anti-adhesive drug.
