International audience. The mycobacterial lipoglycans, lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM), regulate host defence mechanisms through their interaction with pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We have developed a surface plasmon resonance assay to analyse the molecular basis for the recognition of Mycobacterium kansasii LM or LAM, by immobilized CD14 and LPS-binding protein (LBP) both being capable to promote presentation of bacterial glycolipids to TLRs. The affinity of either LM/LAM was higher to CD14 than to LBP. Kinetic and Scatchard analyses were consistent with a model involving a single class of binding sites. These interactions required the lipidic anchor, but not the carbohydrate domains, of LM or LAM. We also provide evidence that addition of recombinant LBP enhanced the stimulatory effect of LM or LAM on matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and secretion in macrophages, through a TLR1/TLR2-dependent mechanism.
