O antigen is the major component of lipopolysaccharide LPS. The chemical structure of the O antigen determines the LPS serospecificity of the bacteria, and the diversity of O antigen is the basis for serotyping Burkholderia pseudomallei. In this study, structural elucidation of type B O antigen obtained from a clinical B. pseudomallei strain was conducted, and the effects of different types of LPS on macrophage differentiation were investigated. The O antigen was found to be composed of repeating units of [→4)-α-L-Rhap(1→4)-α-L-Rhap(1→2)-α-L-Rhap(1→2)-α-L-Rhap(1→3)-α-L-Rhap(1→3)-α-L-Rhap(1→4)-α-L-Rhap(1→6)-α-D-Galp(1→]n, where some of the →4)-α-L-Rhap(1 → units were substituted at O-3 by β-D-Xylp(1→ residues, and minor →3)-α-L-Rhap(1→ units were substituted at O-2 by β-D-Xylp(1→ residues. Meahwhile, the →6)-α-D-Galp(1→ units were substituted at O-3 by α-D-Galp(1→ residues. Furthermore, both type A and type B O antigens of B. pseudomallei could polarize macrophages toward the M1 phenotype, but the core oligosaccharides had no such activity. Therefore, we deduced that this polarization relies on the O antigen of LPS and might be related to the ability of B. pseudomallei to survive and replicate within macrophages. Thus, the characterization of different types of O antigen structural motifs is essential for further clarifying the persistence/survival mechanisms and inflammatory potential of B. pseudomallei.
