Differential expression of lectin-binding sites defines mouse intestinal M-cellsMA Clark, MA Jepson, NL Simmons, TA Booth and BH Hirst Gastrointestinal Drug Delivery Research Centre, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Medical School, United Kingdom. We investigated the binding of four lectins to the follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) overlying fixed mouse small intestinal Peyer's patches to identify M-cell-specific surface markers. Wheat germ agglutinin and peanut agglutinin displayed heterogeneous staining patterns, binding most avidly to the intestine goblet cells. In contrast, the lectins Ulex europaeus 1 (UEA 1) and Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (winged bean; WBA) were almost exclusively M-cell specific. When confocal laser scanning images of tissues stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated UEA1 or WBA were compared with the appearance of the same tissues under the scanning electron microscope (SEM), UEA1 strongly stained 97.2% (106/109) of M-cells, 0.6% (3/516) enterocytes, and 0% (0/28) goblet cells, whereas WBA stained 100% (83/83) M-cells, 1.7% (6/361) enterocytes, and 5.3% (1/19) goblet cells. The M-cell specificity of the lectin binding was further demonstrated by localization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated lectins under the transmission electron microscope (TEM). This is the first demonstration of carbohydrates in the glycocalyx of M-cells that are not expressed elsewhere on the FAE surface. These carbohydrates not only provide a means to identify mouse M-cells by LM but may also contribute to the occurrence of specific interactions between microorganisms and the M-cell apical membrane.
