The purpose of this study is to delineate uptake characteristics of mannosylated and fucosylated proteins in primary cultured sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kupffer cells. In cultured sinusoidal endothelial cells, uptake of mannosylated and fucosylated bovine serum albumin (BSA) was significantly inhibited by excess mannosylated and fucosylated BSAs but not by galactosylated BSA, suggesting that both glycosylated proteins might be primarily taken up via mannose receptors. In cultured Kupffer cells, uptake of fucosylated BSA was significantly inhibited by excess galactosylated BSA as well as mannosylated and fucosylated BSAs, although that of mannosylated BSA was inhibited only by mannosylated and fucosylated BSAs. This suggests that uptake of fucosylated BSA by Kupffer cells might be mediated by both Kupffer cell lectin (fucose receptor) and mannose receptor. On the other hand, in vivo hepatic uptake of fucosylated BSA was inhibited to a greater extent by GdCl3 pretreatment than that of mannosylated BSA. Based on in vitro and in vivo experiments, it was concluded that fucosylated BSA is more Kupffer cell-selective because it exhibited a lower sinusoidal endothelial cell uptake than mannosylated BSA.
