چکیده

Glycosylation of cell surface proteins can regulate multiple cellular functions. We hypothesized that glycosylation and expression of glycoproteins after epithelial injury is important in mediating repair. We report the use of an in vitro culture model of human airway epithelial cells (1HAEo(-)) to identify mediators of epithelial repair. We characterized carbohydrate moieties associated with repair by their interaction with the lectin from Cicer arietinum, chickpea agglutinin (CPA). Using CPA, we identified changes in cell surface glycosylation during wound repair. Following mechanical wounding of confluent monolayers of 1HAEo(-) cells, CPA staining increases on the cell surface of groups of cells in proximity to the wound edge. Blocking the CPA carbohydrate ligand inhibited wound repair highlighting the role of the CPA carbohydrate ligand in epithelial repair. Annexin II (AII), a calcium-dependent, membrane-associated protein, was identified as a protein associated with the CPA ligand. By membrane protein biotinylation and immunodetection, we have shown that following mechanical wounding, the presentation of AII on the cell surface increases coordinate with repair. Cell surface AII accumulates in proximity to the wound. Furthermore, translocation of AII to the cell surface is N-glycosylation dependent. We are the first to demonstrate that following injury, N-glycosylation events and AII presentation on the cell surface of airway epithelial cells are important mediators in repair.

Role of cell surface glycosylation in mediating repair of human airway epithelial cell monolayers.

Our laboratory recently demonstrated the pattern of cell surface glycosylation of nonsecretory central airway epithelium (Dorscheid DR, Conforti AE, Hamann KJ, Rabe KF, and White SR. Histochem J 31: 145-151, 1999), but the role of glycosylation in airway epithelial cell migration and repair is unknown. We examined the functional role of cell surface carbohydrates in wound repair after mechanica...

Annexin A1, formyl peptide receptor, and NOX1 orchestrate epithelial repair.

N-formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are critical regulators of host defense in phagocytes and are also expressed in epithelia. FPR signaling and function have been extensively studied in phagocytes, yet their functional biology in epithelia is poorly understood. We describe a novel intestinal epithelial FPR signaling pathway that is activated by an endogenous FPR ligand, annexin A1 (ANXA1), and i...

Airway epithelial wound repair: role of carbohydrate sialyl Lewisx.

Epithelial repair is a complex cellular and molecular process, the details of which are still not clearly understood. Plasma membrane glycoconjugates can modulate cell function by altering the function of protein and lipids. Sialyl Lewisx (sLex), a fucose-containing tetrasaccharide, decorates membrane-bound and secreted proteins and mediates cell-cell interaction. In the present study we invest...

Pseudomonas lipopolysaccharide accelerates wound repair via activation of a novel epithelial cell signaling cascade.

The surface of the airway epithelium represents a battleground in which the host intercepts signals from pathogens and activates epithelial defenses to combat infection. Wound repair is an essential function of the airway epithelium in response to injury in chronic airway diseases, and inhaled pathogens such as Pseudomonas bacteria are implicated in the pathobiology of several of these diseases...
