ABSTRACT

The immediate call for translational research in the field of coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) pandemic, needs new and unexplored angles to support and
contribute to this important worldwide health problem. The aim of this study is
to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms underlying COVID-19, deciphering
the carbohydrate-mediated interactions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. We
studied the carbohydrate-binding receptors that could be important for viral
entry and for immune-modulatory responses, and we studied the interactions of
the spike protein with the host lung microbiota. Exploring solid-phase
immunoassays, we evaluated the interactions between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
and a library of 12 different human carbohydrate-binding proteins (C-type
lectins and Siglecs) involved in binding, triggering and modulation of innate
and adaptive immune-responses. We revealed a specific binding of the SARS-CoV-2
spike protein to the receptors DC-SIGN, MGL, Siglec-9 and Siglec-10 that are all
expressed on myeloid immune cells. In addition, because the lung microbiota can
promote or modulate viral infection, we studied the interactions between the
SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and a library of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular
polysaccharides, as well as other bacterial glyco-conjugates. We show specific
binding of the spike protein to different S. pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides
(serotypes 19F and 23F but not to serotype 14). Moreover we demonstrated a
specific binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the lipopolysaccharide from the
opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the leading cause of
acute nosocomial infections and pneumonia. Interestingly, we identified
rhamnosylated epitopes as one of the discriminating structures in lung
microbiota to bind SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. In conclusion, we revealed novel
ACE2-independent carbohydrate-mediated interactions with immune modulating
lectins expressed on myeloid cells, as well as host lung microbiota
glyco-conjugates. Our results identified new molecular pathways using host
lectins and signalling, that may contribute to viral infection and subsequent
immune exacerbation. Moreover we identified specific rhamnosylated epitopes in
lung microbiota to bind SARS-CoV-2, providing a hypothetical link between the
presence of specific lung microbiota and SARS-CoV-2 infection and severity.

project and launch of the dedicated health sciences server medRxiv
(submit.medrxiv.org). New papers that report results of Clinical Trials must now
be submitted to medRxiv. Most new Epidemiology papers also should be submitted
to medRxiv, but if a paper contains no health-related information, authors may
choose to submit it to another bioRxiv subject category (e.g., Genetics or
Microbiology).
