Dermatan sulfate is involved in the tumorigenic properties of Esophagus Squamous Cell Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Extracellular matrix, either produced by cancer cells or by cancer-associated fibroblasts, influences angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans, which occur both in the matrix and at the cell surface, play important roles in these processes. The unique feature that distinguishes DS from CS is the presence of iduronic acid (IdoA) in DS. The main IdoA-producing enzyme, DS epimerase 1 (DS-epi1) was highly up-regulated in ESCC biopsies. To further understand the roles of IdoA in tumor development, DS-epi1 expression, and consequently IdoA content, was downregulated in ESCC cells. IdoA-deficient cells exhibited decreased migration and invasion capabilities in vitro, which was associated with reduced cellular binding of hepatocyte growth factor, inhibition of pERK-1/2 signaling, and de-regulated actin cytoskeleton dynamics and focal adhesion formation. Our findings demonstrate that IdoA in DS influences tumorigenesis by affecting cancer cell behavior.

Project description:Dysregulation of glyco-gene expression in cancer can lead to aberrant glycans and glycoconjugates, which in turn can promote tumorigenesis. Cervical cancer display augmentation of aberrant sialylated glycans and increase of glyco-genes, which encoded enzymes participate in the sialylation pathways. Besides sialiltranferases, other glyco-genes, analyzed individually are reported as altered in cervical cancer. Here we show a comprehensive analysis of glyco-gene expression in cervical cancer to obtain a wide scenery of global changes in glycosylation pathways. First, we compared glyco-gene expression between normal tissue and cervical cancer. Second, we analyzed the glycogene expression in subtypes of cc to obtain hallmarks of glyco-gene expression in each case. Our results indicate that in cervical cancer the GPI-anchored biosynthesis is increased in cc while the synthesis of chondroitin and dermatan sulfate are decreased. Moreover, data show that adenocarcinoma displayed a homogenous glyco-gene expression pattern, where chondroitin /dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate glycogenes are decreased, while keratan sulfate genes are increased.
