Inhibition of mannose-binding lectin reduces postischemic myocardial reperfusion injury.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Complement consists of a complex cascade of proteins involved in innate and adaptive immunity. The cascade can be activated through 3 distinct mechanisms, designated the classical, alternative, and lectin pathways. Although complement is widely accepted as participating in the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury, the specific role of the lectin pathway has not been addressed. METHODS AND RESULTS Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs; P7E4 and 14C3.74, IgG1kappa isotypes) were raised against rat mannose-binding lectin (rMBL). Both mAbs recognized rMBL-A by Western analysis or surface plasmon resonance. P7E4, but not 14C3.74, exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition of the lectin pathway, with maximal effect at 10 microg/mL. In vivo, rats were subjected to 30 minutes of left coronary artery occlusion and 4 hours of reperfusion. Complement C3 deposition was greatly attenuated in hearts pretreated with P7E4 compared with 14C3.74-treated hearts. Pretreatment with P7E4 (1 mg/kg) significantly reduced myocardial creatine kinase loss (48%), infarct size (39%), and neutrophil infiltration (47%) compared with 14C3.74-treated animals. In addition, P7E4 pretreatment significantly attenuated the expression of proinflammatory genes (intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and interleukin-6) after ischemia-reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS The lectin complement pathway is activated after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and leads to tissue injury. Blockade of the lectin pathway with inhibitory mAbs protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion by reducing neutrophil infiltration and attenuating proinflammatory gene expression.

Complement activation after oxidative stress: role of the lectin complement pathway.
The complement system plays an important role in mediating tissue injury after oxidative stress. The role of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and the lectin complement pathway (LCP) in mediating complement activation after endothelial oxidative stress was investigated. iC3b deposition on hypoxic (24 hours; 1% O(2))/reoxygenated (3 hours; 21% O(2)) human endothelial cells was attenuated by N-acetyl-...
متن کاملMannose-binding lectin is a regulator of inflammation that accompanies myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.
The mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a circulating pattern recognition molecule, recognizes a wide range of infectious agents with resultant initiation of the complement cascade in an Ab-independent manner. MBL recognizes infectious non-self and altered self in the guise of apoptotic and necrotic cells. In this study, we demonstrate that mice lacking MBL, and hence are devoid of MBL-dependent lect...

Background—Coagulation disorders and reperfusion of ischemic myocardium are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Lectin pathway initiation complexes are composed of multimolecular carbohydrate recognition subcomponents and 3 lectin pathway–specific serine proteases. We have recently shown that the lectin pathway–specific carbohydrate recognition subcomponent mannose-binding lectin plays an ...
