Objective-Upregulated expression of endothelial adhesion molecules and subsequent binding to cognate monocytic receptors are established paradigms in atherosclerosis. However, these proteins are the scaffolds, with their posttranslational modification with sugars providing the actual ligands. We recently showed that tumor necrosis factor-alpha increased hypoglycosylated (mannose-rich) N-glycans on the endothelial surface. In the present study, our aim was to determine whether (1) hypoglycosylated N-glycans are upregulated by proatherogenic stimuli (oscillatory flow) in vitro and in vivo, and (2) mannose residues on hypoglycosylated endothelial N-glycans mediate monocyte rolling and adhesion. Methods and Results-Staining with the mannose-specific lectins concanavalin A and lens culinaris agglutinin was increased in human aortic endothelial cells exposed to oscillatory shear or tumor necrosis factor-alpha and at sites of plaque development and progression in both mice and human vessels. Increasing surface N-linked mannose by inhibiting N-glycan processing potentiated monocyte adhesion under flow during tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulation. Conversely, enzymatic removal of high-mannose N-glycans, or masking mannose residues with lectins, significantly decreased monocyte adhesion under flow. These effects occurred without altering induced expression of adhesion molecule proteins. Conclusion-Hypoglycosylated (high mannose) N-glycans are present on the endothelial cell surface at sites of early human lesion development and are novel effectors of monocyte adhesion during atherogenesis.
