Inhibition of Vero Cell Cytotoxic Activity in Escherichia coli O157:H7 Lysates by Globotriaosylceramide, Gb3, from Bovine Milk

Abstract

In order to clarify the presence and verotoxin (VT) inhibitory activity of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in bovine milk, we analyzed neutral glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from bovine milk and investigated the inhibitory effect of bovine milk Gb3 on the cytotoxicity of VT2. Five species of neutral GSLs, designated as N-1, N-2, N-3, N-4, and N-5, were separated on thin-layer chromatography (TLC). N-1, N-2, and N-3 showed the same mobility as glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, and Gb3 on the TLC plate, respectively. N-4 and N-5 GSLs migrated below globoside on the TLC plate. N-3 GSL having the same TLC mobility as Gb3 from bovine milk was immunologically identified as Gb3 by monoclonal antibody against Gb3, anti-CD77 monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, the effect of bovine milk Gb3 on VT2-induced cytotoxicity was investigated. We found that treatment of VT2 with bovine milk Gb3 can reduce the cytotoxic effect of VT2.
