Research and Teaching Contributions

A. Narrative Description of Research

My research is focused on the glycobiology of human milk, intestinal mucosa, and brain. The emphasis has been on pathogen binding to cell surface glycans of the intestinal mucosa that are targets for common enteropathogens of infants and children, and more specifically on human milk glycans that inhibit this essential first step in pathogenesis. We discovered a series of human milk glycans that inhibit specific pathogens: The human milk glycan that inhibits stable toxin of enterotoxigenic E. coli in vivo is a fucosylated oligosaccharide. Enterohemorrhagic E. coli binding to its host receptor is inhibited by a mannosylated glycopeptide. Rotavirus infection is inhibited by a glycoprotein named lactadherin. Binding of gp120 of HIV to CD4 of its target T-4 lymphocytes is inhibited by glycosaminoglycans and by sulfatides. Sulfatides also inhibit recruitment of polymorphonucleocytes by salmonella. Campylobacter pathogenesis requires binding to host cell receptors containing the H-2 fucosylated epitope and is inhibited by human milk oligosaccharides containing the H-2 moiety. Different strains of noroviruses bind to different carbohydrate epitopes; each strain is specifically inhibited by glycans containing such epitopes. This research demonstrated that the mechanism whereby the host is protected from these pathogens is through the inhibition of binding by the pathogen to its human host cell surface glycan receptor.

In the course of pursuing this research, my laboratory devised and validated many novel analytical techniques. For example, using our methods for the quantitative analysis of individual oligosaccharides in human milk led to finding that the expression of the fucosylated oligosaccharides varies over the course of lactation. Also, the pattern of expression varies among individuals, and this variation is linked to the heterogeneous genotypes of fucosyltransferases that underlie the expression of the various Lewis blood group types. This discovery allowed testing the clinical relevance of the milk oligosaccharides.

The expression in milk of high amounts of specific oligosaccharides that we know to inhibit specific pathogens is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of symptoms of infection by the specific pathogen in nursing infants. Specifically, a significant association was found for high levels of 2¢-fucosyllactose in milk and low risk of campylobacter-associated diarrhea, high levels of lacto-N-difucohexaose-I and low risk of norovirus-associated diarrhea, high expression of 2-linked oligosaccharides and low risk of diarrhea associated with stable toxin-producing E. coli, high levels of total 2-linked fucosyloligosaccharides and lower risk of diarrhea of all causes, and high expression of lactadherin in milk and low risk of rotavirus-associated diarrhea in the nursing infant. Based on these data, I proposed that the glycans of milk constitute an innate immune system in human milk whereby the mother confers potent and clinically important protection to her nursing infant, and this idea has generated widespread interest and acceptance in the pediatrics, nutrition, glycobiology, and mucosal immunology communities.

Understanding cell surface glycans and their role in pathogenesis is also the theme of a second area of my research that focuses on the pathobiology of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Classic HUS follows infection by verotoxigenic E. coli, an E. coli that produces Shiga toxin, which typically results in bloody diarrhea. In some cases, especially in children, as this diarrhea resolves, HUS ensues. My research group found that the population of children who suffer HUS have lower amounts of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), the receptor for Shiga toxin, in their erythrocytes, and are overrepresented in the recessive P2 blood group type, when compared with the general population, or the population of children who recover from verotoxigenic E. coli bloody diarrhea without developing HUS. We devised a method for the separation and quantification of molecular species of Gb3 in cultured primary human brain (and other) endothelial cells, which are thought to be the target of Shiga toxin in HUS. We discovered that binding, but not toxicity, is related to the amount Gb3. However, the toxicity of Shiga toxin proves to be related to the type (molecular species) of Gb3 expressed. Thus, a specific type of Gb3 may be responsible for incorporation of Shiga toxin into lipid rafts for retrograde transport, leading to toxicity. In the endothelial cells of the blood brain barrier, this toxicity would account for the CNS manifestations seen in the most severe forms of HUS.

The projects undertaken in my laboratory increasingly involve questions related to the ontogeny of glycans, especially those in the developing gut, and their relationship to the maturing mucosal immune system. Our expertise in glycobiology is being applied toward defining the ontogeny of glycans in the gut that support colonization by commensal (or symbiotic) bacteria, isolation of glycan products from probiotic or commensal bacteria that may have antipathogenic activity, and isolating glycans from fungi that may have anti-inflammatory activity in the gut.
