A Synthetic Mimic of Human Fc Receptors: Defined Chemical Modification of Cell Surfaces Enables Efficient Endocytic Uptake of Human Immunoglobulin-G
摘要:
Binding of ligands to macromolecular receptors on the surface of mammalian cells often results in ligand uptake through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Certain human leukocytes and epithelial cells express Fc receptors (FcRs) that bind and internalize antibodies through this mechanism. To mimic this process, we synthesized an artificial FcR comprising the membrane anchor N-alkyl-3 beta-amino-5 alpha-cholestane linked to a disulfide-constrained cyclic peptide, termed FcIII, known to exhibit high affinity and specificity for the Fc region of human IgG. Treatment of human Jurkat lymphocytes that lack natural FcRs with the synthetic FcR (1 mu M, 1 h) installed an average of similar to 6.2 x 10(5) synthetic receptor molecules per cell surface. These treated cells gained the capacity to internalize human IgG at levels greater than human THP-1 cells that express the natural receptors Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII. By linking binding motifs for circulating ligands to membrane anchors that cycle between the cell surface and intracellular endosomes, minimalistic cell surface receptors can be used to destroy targeted ligands by endocytosis. These small mimics of macromolecular receptors may be useful for controlling the extracellular abundance of ligands involved in disease.

of equatorial cyclohexanols with Ph3P/DEAD/MsOH gives clean conversion to the axial mesylates. Subsequent reaction with NaN3 gives the equatorial azides in overall yields of 74–87%. Axial hydroxyl groups are not affected, allowing the regioselective conversion of methyl cholate into a 3α-azidodiol intermediate for steroid-based synthetic receptors.

Introduction of an amido group or an amino moiety into the alkenyl linker chain of cosalane (1) provided a newseries of analogues 3-8. The new compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of the cytopathic effect of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in cell culture. The replacement of the 1' and 2' carbons in the linker chain of I by an amido group was generally tolerated. The length of the linker chain and the stereochemistry
