Summary: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan inhibits the release of proinflammatory cytokines by LPS-stimulated human dendritic cells (DCs) via targeting the C-type lectin receptor DC-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN). With the aim of mimicking the bioactive supramolecular structure of mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan, we designed and synthesized a set of poly(phosphorhydrazone) dendrimers grafted with mannose units, called mannodendrimers, that differed by size and the number and length of their (α1→2)-oligommanoside caps. A third-generation dendrimer bearing 48 trimannoside caps (3T) and a fourth-generation dendrimer bearing 96 dimannosides (4D) displayed the highest binding avidity for DC-SIGN. Moreover, these dendrimers inhibited proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, production by LPS-stimulated DCs in a DC-SIGN–dependent fashion. Finally, in a model of acute lung inflammation in which mice were exposed to aerosolized LPS, per os administration of 3T mannodendrimer was found to significantly reduce neutrophil influx via targeting the DC-SIGN murine homolog SIGN-related 1. The 3T mannodendrimer therefore represents an innovative fully synthetic compound for the treatment of lung inflammatory diseases. |
