Pseudomonas aeruginosainfection of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is a leading cause of their morbidity and mortality. Pathogenesis is initiated in part by molecular interactions ofP. aeruginosawith carbohydrate residues in airway mucins that accumulate in the lungs of patients with this disease. To explore the nature of the glycans recognized by a stable, mucoid, alginate-producing strainP. aeruginosa8830 we generated a genetically modified Pa8830 expressing green fluorescent protein (Pa3380-GFP). We tested its binding to a panel of glycolipids and neoglycolipids in which selected glycans were covalently attached to dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine and analyzed on silica gel surfaces. Among all glycans tested, Pa8830-GFP bound best to sialyl-Lex-containing glycan NeuAc(α2-3)Gal(β1-4)[Fuc(α1-3)]GlcNAc-R and bound weakly to H-type blood group Fucα1-2Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R, sialyl-lactose, and Lex, and exhibited little binding toward non-fucosylated derivatives. Interestingly, while Pa8830-GFP bound to the glycosphingolipid asialoGM1, it did not appear to bind to a wide variety of other glycosphingolipids including GM1, GM2, asialoGM2, and sulfatide. These results indicate thatP. aeruginosa8830 has preferential binding to sialyl-Lex-containing glycans and has weak recognition of related fucose- and sialic acid-containing glycans. The finding that Pa8830 binds sialyl-Lex-containing glycans, which occur at increased levels in mucins from CF patients, is consistent with studies of other strains ofP. aeruginosaand further suggests that such glycans on CF mucins contribute to disease pathogenesis.
