Genes related to microtubule functions were downregulated in sinhcaf mutant FG follicles and eggs

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis uncovered that 1238 genes were upregulated, 923 genes were downregulated in sinhcaf mutant FG follicles, compared to wild type FG follicles. Loss of sinhcaf in mature eggs resulted in upregulation of 904 genes, and downregulation of 911 genes. Downregulated genes in sinhcaf mutant FG follicles and eggs were classified by gene ontology (GO) analysis, then the top 30 GO terms with highest -log10P values were screened out, and at least two downregulated genes were included in each biological processes, cellular components or molecular function term. Microtubules and microtubule-based processes were included in the top 30 GO terms.

Project description:Purpose: Core 3 derived glycans, a major type of O-glycan expressed by normal epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, are downregulated during malignancy, because of loss of expression of functional β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-6 (core 3 synthase). We investigated the expression of core 3 synthase in normal pancreas and pancreatic cancer and evaluated the biological effects of re-expressing core 3 synthase in pancreatic cancer cells that had lost expression. Experimental Design: We determined that pancreatic tumors and tumor cell lines have lost expression of core 3 synthase. We therefore re-expressed in human pancreatic cancer cells (Capan-2 and FG) to investigate the contribution of core 3 glycans to malignant progression. Results: Pancreatic cancer cells expressing core 3 synthase showed reduced in vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasion compared with vector control cells. Expression of core 3 O-glycans induced altered expression of β1 integrin, decreased activation of focal adhesion kinase, led to the down regulation of expression of several genes including REG1α and FGFR3, and altered lamellipodia formation. The addition of a GlcNAc residue by core 3 synthase leads to the extension of the tumor associated Tn structure on MUC1. Orthotopic injection of FG cells expressing core 3 synthase into the pancreas of nude mice produced significantly smaller tumors and decreased metastasis to the surrounding tissues compared to vector control FG cells. Conclusions: These findings indicate that expression of core 3 derived O-glycans in pancreatic cancer cells suppresses tumor growth and metastasis through modulation of glycosylation of mucins and other cell surface and extracellular matrix proteins. Two-condition experiment, Core 3 synthase stable expression (C3) vs. vector control (PLVX) cells. Biological replicates: 3 Core 3 synthase stable expression, 3 vector control, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
