Description of D-Mannose

D-Mannose is a natural hexose monosaccharide with anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. D-Mannose is rapidly absorbed in the upper intestine. D-Mannose inhibits bacterial adhesion to urothelium by competitively binding to adhesins of uropathogenic Escherichia coli. D-Mannose accumulates as mannose-6-phosphate to regulate phosphomannose isomerase and inhibits the succinate-HIF-1α axis in macrophages to reduce the production of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β. D-Mannose can be used in studies of recurrent urinary tract infection, cystitis, and inflammation-related diseases[1-4].

In vitro, 0-20 mM D-Mannose was applied to INS-1 cells and islet cells from 0-16-week-old mice. D-Mannose increased IRS-2 expression and phosphorylation[5]. 25 mM D-Mannose was applied to MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells for 0-72 hours. D-Mannose decreased PD-L1 protein levels and induced aberrant PD-L1 glycosylation[6]. 25 mM D-Mannose was applied to HUVEC cells for 24 hours. D-Mannose inhibited VEGF-enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and capillary tube formation, and decreased VEGFR2 protein levels to promote lysosomal degradation[7].

In vivo, ethanol-induced gastric injury C57BL/6J mice received 0.2 mL 20%-40% (w/v) D-Mannose by gavage once daily for 7 days. D-Mannose significantly reduced ulcer index and pathological scores, increased SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT activities, decreased ROS and MDA production, and activated HSP90 and downstream Nrf2/HO-1 pathway-related genes and protein expression[8]. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis C57BL/6 mouse models received 450 mg/kg D-Mannose by intraperitoneal injection once daily for 19 days. D-Mannose improved encephalomyelitis symptoms and improved survival rate, reduced lesion area, decreased oxidative stress, decreased infiltrating M1-like macrophages and microglia[9]. Diabetic back wound BALB/c mouse models received 100 μL 3% (w/v) D-Mannose in PBS topically on the wound once daily for 13 days. D-Mannose accelerated skin wound closure and shortened complete healing time, reduced AGEs formation in skin lesions, upregulated AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling molecules, decreased CD86+ macrophage counts, and increased dermal collagen deposition[10].

Protocol of D-Mannose

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells)

Preparation Method

HUVEC were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 100μg/mL penicillin and streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO2. HUVEC were treated with D-Mannose at 10mM for 24h. After treatment, cell proliferation was evaluated by colony formation assay, cell migration was assessed by wound healing and transwell migration assays, capillary tube formation was examined by Matrigel tube formation assay, and protein levels were analyzed by western blot.

Reaction Conditions

10mM; 24h

Applications

D-Mannose significantly inhibited VEGF-enhanced cell proliferation, migration and capillary tube formation, reduced VEGF-induced p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 levels without affecting their total protein levels. D-Mannose decreased VEGFR2 protein level in HUVEC.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6 mice

Preparation Method

Mice were intraperitoneally administered 450mg/kg D-Mannose once a day from the day of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induction (day 0) until day 19. Clinical scores and weights were recorded daily. On day 15, multiagent molecular MRI was performed using MPO-Gd and CLIO to assess oxidative stress and phagocytosis in vivo. On day 19, mice were transcardially perfused and spinal cords were collected for flow cytometric analysis and immunohistochemical staining.

Dosage form

450mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 19 days

Applications

D-Mannose improved survival rate and clinical symptoms, and reduced weight loss, decreased total MPO-Gd+ lesion areas, indicating attenuated MPO-mediated oxidative stress, reduced CLIO+ lesion numbers and increased mean T2 values of CLIO+ lesions, revealing partial blockade of phagocytosis, decreased the percentage of infiltrating macrophages/activated microglia and M1-like proinflammatory macrophages/microglia, increasing M2-like antiinflammatory macrophages/microglia in spinal cords.
