Abstract

Snake venoms are intricate mixtures of enzymes and bioactive factors that induce a range of detrimental effects in afflicted hosts. Certain Viperids, including Bothrops jararacussu, harbor C-type lectins (CTLs) known for their modulation of a variety of host cellular responses. In this study, we isolated and purified BjcuL, a CTL from B. jararacussu venom and investigated its impact on endothelial cell behavior, contrasting it with human galectin-1 (Gal-1), a prototype member of the galectin family with shared β-galactoside-binding activity. We found that BjcuL binds to human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) in a concentration- and carbohydrate-dependent fashion and reprograms the function of these cells, favoring a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulant endothelial phenotype. In light of the quest for universal antagonists capable of mitigating the harmful consequences of snake venoms, BjcuL emerges as a promising target to be blocked in order to regulate pathological endothelial cell responses.

一种来自两头乌鸦毒液的 C 型凝集素可重塑内皮细胞生物学。
蛇毒是酶和生物活性因子的复杂混合物,会对受害宿主产生一系列有害影响。某些蝰蛇(包括蝮蛇)体内含有C型凝集素(CTL),可调节宿主细胞的各种反应。在这项研究中,我们分离并纯化了贾拉acussu蝰蛇毒液中的一种CTL--BjcuL,研究了它对内皮细胞行为的影响,并将其与人类半凝集素-1(Gal-1)进行了对比,后者是半凝集素家族的原型成员,具有共同的β-半乳糖苷结合活性。我们发现,BjcuL 能以浓度和碳水化合物依赖的方式与人真皮微血管内皮细胞(HMECs)结合,并对这些细胞的功能进行重编程,有利于形成促炎症和促凝血的内皮表型。鉴于人们正在寻找能够减轻蛇毒有害后果的通用拮抗剂,BjcuL 成为了一个有希望被阻断的靶点,以调节病理内皮细胞反应。
