Mannose binding lectin plays a crucial role in innate immunity against yeast by enhanced complement activation and enhanced uptake of polymorphonuclear cells

Abstract: Background: Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is an important host defence protein against opportunistic fungal pathogens. This carbohydrate-binding protein, an opsonin and lectin pathway activator, binds through multiple lectin domains to the repeating sugar arrays displayed on the surface of a wide range of clinically relevant microbial species. We investigated the contribution of MBL to antifungal innate immunity towards C. parapsilosis in vitro.

“…By using this approach and using Mascot search, three main protein hits were identified with sequence ID of G3MZ19, F1N1Z8, and F1MCV8 ( Additionally, from the UniProt 12_11, it was mentioned that the sequence ID G3MZ19 is a member of the mannose-binding protein or mannose-binding lectin (MBL) family. Mannose-binding lectin is known to give an important contribution to innate immune defense (van Asbeck et al, 2008;Lambourne et al, 2009). Although less information is available regarding MBL and its role in the saliva of cattle, especially the Bali breed, the presence of MBL-like family in the saliva of Bali cattle possibly contributes to the innate immunity that works together with epithelial barriers around the oral cavity as the first line protection system against pathogens.…”

“…Previously, binding of MBL has been observed to several bacteria and the fungi Candida albicans, C. neoformans, and A. fumigatus (40,41), promoting lectin pathway complement deposition on S. aureus, C. albicans, and C. neoformans (40,41). Similarly, L-ficolin/MASP complexes from patients were shown to recognize lipoteichoic acid from Grampositive bacteria such as S. aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and S. agalactiae to initiate lectin pathway-dependent C4 turnover (42,43).…”

“…MBL has been shown to bind strongly to C. albicans through mannan, thus, resulting in complement activation and subsequent opsonophagocytosis by PMNs (31,44). To further extend and elucidate the physiological relevance of MBL collaboration with PTX3 and SAP, we performed phagocytosis experiments of C. albicans by PMNs using either MBL-defect serum that was depleted for SAP or C1q-defect serum that was depleted for MBL and SAP.…”
