Altered (neo-) lacto series glycolipid biosynthesis impairs ?2-6 sialylation on N-glycoproteins in ovarian cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: The (neo-) lacto series glycosphingolipids (nsGSLs) comprise of glycan epitopes that are present as blood group antigens, act as primary receptors for human pathogens and are also increasingly associated with malignant diseases. Beta-1, 3-N-acetyl-glucosaminyl-transferase 5 (B3GNT5) is suggested as the key glycosyltransferase for the biosynthesis of nsGSLs. In this study, we investigated the impact of CRISPR-Cas9 -mediated gene disruption of B3GNT5 (?B3GNT5) on the expression of glycosphingolipids and N-glycoproteins by utilizing immunostaining and glycomics-based PGC-UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS profiling. ?B3GNT5 cells lost nsGSL expression coinciding with reduction of ?2-6 sialylation on N-glycoproteins. In contrast, disruption of B4GALNT1, a glycosyltransferase for ganglio series GSLs did not affect ?2-6 sialylation on N-glycoproteins. We further profiled all known ?2-6 sialyltransferase-encoding genes and showed that the loss of ?2-6 sialylation is due to silencing of ST6GAL1 expression in ?B3GNT5 cells. These results demonstrate that nsGSLs are part of a complex network affecting N-glycosylation in ovarian cancer cells.

Project description:Glycoproteins containing N-linked oligosaccharides were prepared from plasma and liver microsomes of rats aged 0-5 weeks, and galactose and sialic acid content were determined. The sialic acid/galactose ratios in plasma membrane N-glycans remained at about 1 throughout the postnatal period, suggesting that most of the galactose residues are sialylated. In the same way, it was suggested that most of the galactose residues of microsomal N-glycans were sialylated at 0, 4 and 5 weeks of age, but that the degree of sialylation was lower at the other ages, with a minimum at 2 weeks. When the activities of sialyltransferase and galactosyltransferase in liver Golgi membranes were determined, age-dependent changes were found, not only in the specific activities of the enzymes, but also in the Golgi membrane content per g of liver. The activity of galactosyltransferase per g of liver increased immediately after birth, whereas that of sialyltransferase remained at a low level for 2 weeks and then increased to a constant level at 4 weeks. It is probable that this delayed increase in the activity of sialyltransferase results in the decreased sialylation of microsomal N-glycans at 1, 2 and 3 weeks. Sialyltransferase was solubilized from the liver microsomes of rats aged 2, 3 and 4 weeks and characterized. Phosphocellulose column chromatography separated the activity into two subfractions, designated transferase I and transferase II in the order of elution. The increase in total sialyltransferase activity during this period was caused mainly by an increase in transferase I. Rechromatography of each transferase from 3-week-old rats after neuraminidase treatment showed that transferase I but not transferase II contained sialic acid residue(s) and that desialylated transferase I was eluted in a similar way as transferase II. Although the apparent Km value for CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid and the heat stability of transferase I were different from those of transferase II, the difference was abolished by treating transferase I with neuraminidase, suggesting that transferase II may be a desialylated form of transferase I. These changes in the sialylation of membrane glycoproteins, including sialyltransferase, may be related to the control of liver growth during postnatal development.
