Project description:This experiment continues our investigation of glycosylation in endometrial epithelium. During the menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone sensitise the uterus to the implanting embryo. There is a major expansion of Golgi and secretory function with increases in mucin (MUC1) and the appearance of specific glycans. We are using Ishikawa cells as a model for in vitro implantation, and have shown the presence of steroid receptors and alterations in glycosylation after hormone exposure.

Project description:Aberrant mucin type O-linked glycosylation is a common occurrence in cancer. This type of O-linked glycosylation can occur on many cell surface glycoproteins where only a small number of sites may be present. EGFR is one such glycoprotein. Upon EGF ligation, EGFR induces a signaling cascade but can also translocate to the nucleus where it can directly regulate gene transcription. Here we show that upon EGF binding, breast cancer cells carrying different O-linked glycans respond by transcribing differential gene expression signatures. This is not a result of changes in signal transduction but due to the differential nuclear translocation of EGFR in the two glyco-phenotypes. This appears to be regulated by the formation of a EGFR/galectin-3/MUC1 complex at the cell surface that is present in cells carrying short core1-based O-glycans characteristic of tumour cells but absent in core 2 O-glycan carrying cells representative of normal mammary epithelial cells.

Project description:Our lab has previously used the Glyco v3 gene-chip to analyze RNA from human macrophages and T-cells, as part of a project examining the effect of cellular origin on the viral infectivity of HIV/SIV. Our experiments have led us to hypothesize that the different glycosylation pathways present in macrophages and T-cells result in the production of virions with differently glycosylated viral proteins and different glycans present on the virion surface. Furthermore, studies with glycosidases using the Glyco v3 gene-chip have indicated that these differences in the glycosylation profiles of virions derived from different cell types may influence viral infectivity. Here we used glyco v3 chips for identifying the enzymes active in the glycosylation pathways of 174xCEM and 293 cells, which are cell types commonly used in HIV and SIV research. These analyses will allow us a better understanding of the role of glycans and glycosylation in cell-type specific effects on viral infectivity because there is a much larger amount of data on virus derived from these cell types and we will be able to relate our studies more directly to previous work in our lab and other labs. RNA from 174xCEM and HEK293 cells, cell types commonly used in HIV and SIV research, was isolated and sent to Microarray Core (E). RNA was prepared in duplicate, totaling 4 samples. Samples were labeled and hybridized to the GLYCOv3 array and gene expression patterns were used to identify enzymes active in glycosylation pathways.

Project description:<h4><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Multiple myeloma is characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow that produce monoclonal immunoglobulins. N-glycosylation changes of these monoclonal immunoglobulins have been reported in multiple myeloma, but previous studies only detected limited serum N-glycan features.</h4><h4><strong>METHODS:</strong> Here, a more detailed study of the human serum N-glycome of 91 multiple myeloma patients and 51 controls was performed. We additionally analyzed sequential samples from patients (n = 7) which were obtained at different time points during disease development as well as 16 paired blood serum and bone marrow plasma samples. N-glycans were enzymatically released and measured by mass spectrometry after linkage specific derivatization of sialic acids.</h4><h4><strong>RESULTS:</strong> A decrease in both α2,3- and α2,6-sialylation, galactosylation and an increase in fucosylation within complex-type N-glycans were found in multiple myeloma patients compared to controls, as well as a decrease in difucosylation of diantennary glycans. The observed glycosylation changes were present in all ISS stages, including the 'low-risk' ISS I. In individual patients, difucosylation of diantennary glycans decreased with development of the disease. Protein N-glycosylation features from blood and bone marrow showed strong correlation. Moreover, associations of monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein) and albumin levels with glycan traits were discovered in multiple myeloma patients.</h4><h4><strong>CONCLUSIONS & GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: </strong>In conclusion, serum protein N-glycosylation analysis could successfully distinguish multiple myeloma from healthy controls. Further studies are needed to assess the potential roles of glycan trait changes and the associations of glycans with clinical parameters in multiple myeloma early detection and prognosis.</h4>

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.

Project description:Various cancers such as colorectal cancer (CRC) are associated with alterations in protein glycosylation. CRC cell lines are frequently used to study these (glyco)biological changes and their mechanisms. However, differences between CRC cell lines with regard to their glycosylation have hitherto been largely neglected. Here, we comprehensively characterized the N-glycan profiles of 25 different CRC cell lines, derived from primary tumors and metastatic sites, in order to investigate their potential as glycobiological tumor model systems and to reveal glycans associated with cell line phenotypes. We applied an optimized, high-throughput membrane-based enzymatic glycan release for small sample amounts. Released glycans were derivatized to stabilize and differentiate between a2,3- and a2,6-linked N-acetylneuraminic acids, followed by N-glycosylation analysis by MALDI-TOF(/TOF)-MS. Our results showed pronounced differences between the N-glycosylation patterns of CRC cell lines. CRC cell line profiles differed from tissue-derived N-glycan profiles with regard to their high-mannose N-glycan content but showed a large overlap for complex type N-glycans, supporting their use as a glycobiological cancer model system. Importantly, we could show that the high-mannose N-glycans did not only occur as intracellular precursors but were also present at the cell surface. The obtained CRC cell line N-glycan features were not clearly correlated with mRNA expression levels of glycosyltransferases, demonstrating the usefulness of performing the structural analysis of glycans. Finally, correlation of CRC cell line glycosylation features with cancer cell markers and phenotypes revealed an association between highly fucosylated glycans and CDX1 and/or villin mRNA expression that both correlate with cell differentiation. Together, our findings provide new insights into CRC-associated glycan changes and setting the basis for more in-depth experiments on glycan function and regulation.

Project description:The inner uterine lining (endometrium) has been shown to have a distinct methylation pattern that changes throughout the menstrual cycle. However, not much is known about how the endometrial methylome affects endometrial receptivity to implanting embryo in the second half of the menstrual cycle. The aim of the present study was to use genome-wide technologies and a paired study design to characterize the endometrial methylome in pre-receptive and receptive endometrium sampled from 17 healthy women within the same menstrual cycle.

Project description:Previously, we have identified the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (GALNT3) gene as notably hypomethylated in low-malignant potential (LMP) and high-grade (HG) serous epithelial ovarian tumors, compared to normal ovarian tissues. Here we show that GALNT3 is strongly overexpressed in both LMP and HG serous EOC tumors, thus suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms might be implicated in GALNT3 overexpression in serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Moreover, GALNT3 expression significantly correlated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) periods in serous EOC patients with advanced disease. Knockdown of the GALNT3 expression in EOC cells led to sharp decrease of cell proliferation and induced S-phase cell cycle arrest. Additionally, GALNT3 suppression significantly inhibited EOC cell migration and invasion. Gene expression profiling and consecutive network and pathway analyses confirmed these findings, as numerous genes and pathways known previously to be implicated in ovarian tumorigenesis, including EOC tumor invasion and metastasis, were found to be downregulated upon GALNT3 suppression, while some tumor suppressor genes were induced. Moreover, GALNT3 downregulation was associated with reduced MUC1 protein expression in EOC cells, probably related to destabilization of the MUC1 protein due to lack of GALNT3 glycosylation activity.Taken together, our data are indicative for a strong oncogenic potential of the GALNT3 gene in advanced EOC and identify this transferase as a novel EOC biomarker and putative EOC therapeutic target. Our findings also suggest that GALNT3 overexpression might contribute to ovarian etiology through aberrant mucin O-glycosylation.

Project description:Our goal is to understand how glycosylation on human B cells is regulated during the differentiation and activation. Accumulating evidences have indicated that functions of immune cells are regulated in a glycan-dependent manner. One of well-known examples is B cell regulation by CD22 through its association with sialylated glycans. While recent studies uncovered that B cell activation leads to loss of high affinity glycan ligands for human CD22 (Neu5Ac-a2,6-Gal-B1,4-GlcNAc(6-sulfo)), the gene expression profile of human B cells before and after activation is unknown. Therefore we would like to perform gene expression analysis of human B cells before and after activation. We already have published the glycan profiling and gene expression of mouse B cells before and after activation done in collaboration with the CFG. This study revealed programmed changes in glycosylation relevant to regulation of B cell signaling by CD22. Since the ligands of human CD22 differ in several respects from that of mouse CD22, these experiments are relevant to the evolution of siglec ligands and their conserved functions in B cell biology.
