Collectins are a family of collagenous calcium-dependent defense lectins in animals. Their polypeptide chains consist of four regions: a cysteine-rich N-terminal domain, a collagen-like region, an alpha-helical coiled-coil neck domain and a C-terminal lectin or carbohydrate-recognition domain. These polypeptide chains form trimers that may assemble into larger oligomers. The best studied family members are the mannan-binding lectin, which is secreted into the blood by the liver, and the surfactant proteins A and D, which are secreted into the pulmonary alveolar and airway lining fluid. The collectins represent an important group of pattern recognition molecules, which bind to oligosaccharide structures and/or lipid moities on the surface of microorganisms. Collectin placenta 1 (CL-P1), a recently discovered scavenger receptor, mediates the uptake of oxidized low density lipoprotein and microbes. In this study, we investigated CL-P1-mediated binding and ingestion of yeast-derived zymosan bioparticles using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human CL-P1 (CHO/CL-P1) and human vascular endothelial cells constitutively expressed CL-P1. The uptake of zymosan by CHO/CL-P1 was dependent upon the level of CL-P1 expressed on the membrane and was inhibited by cytochalasin D and wortmannin. The binding of zymosan was also inhibited by ligands of other scavenger receptors such as poly(I) and dextran sulfate. Real time reverse transcription-PCR analyses showed that other scavenger receptors, namely LOX-1, Stabilin-2, or macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO), were not expressed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells isolated from different individuals. Nonopsonic zymosan ingestion was inhibited in three primary cultured vascular endothelial cells, including different human umbilical vein endothelial cells from nine individuals treated with CL-P1 small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), although small interfering RNAs of other scavenger receptors had no effect on zymosan uptake in these cells. Furthermore, we confirmed that CL-P1 is expressed in human and murine vascular endothelial layers. Our results demonstrated that CL-P1 predominantly mediated phagocytosis for fungi in vascular endothelia.
