Human lactoferrin (LF) specifically binds to human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 cells differentiated into macrophages, and it has been suggested that the poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl saccharide chains of LF are involved. We partially purified and characterized LF-binding proteins with affinity for polylactosamines from THP-1 cells. LF-binding activity was solubilized by nonionic detergent Triton X-100 from THP-1 cell membrane, and subjected to affinity chromatography using an LF-Sepharose column. LF-binding activity, detected by ligand blotting assay, was eluted and further fractionated by affinity chromatography using a Sepharose column coupled with band 3,a polylactosaminyl chain-containing glycoprotein of human erythrocyte membrane. LF-binding activity was separated into three fractions (frs. B1,B2,and B3). These fractions exhibited band 3-binding activity as detected by ligand blotting assay. Dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of frs. B1,B2,and B3,followed by detection of LF-binding activity on Western blots, indicated that frs. B1,B2,and B3 contained LF-binding proteins with a molecular mass of 35,50 and 80,and 35-37 kDa, respectively. Binding of LF to each of the fractions on the dot blots was partially inhibited by LF oligosaccharides, band 3 oligosaccharides and lacto-N-neotetraose, each containing di-N-acetyllactosaminyl or analogous structure, Galβ1→4GlcNAcβ1→3Galβ1→4GlcNAc (or Glc). These results suggest that the 35,50 and/or 80,and 35-37 kDa proteins on THP-1 cells are LF-binding proteins with polylactosamine-binding ability.
