Relations of the type and branch of surface N-glycans to cell adhesion, migration and integrin expressions

The relations between the structure of cell surface N-glycans to cell behaviors were studied in H7721 human hepatocarcinoma cell line, which predominantly expressed complex-type N-glycans on the surface. 1-Deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ) and swaisonine (SW), the specific inhibitor of Golgi alpha-mannosidase II or I, were selected to block the processing of N-glycans at the steps of high mannose and hybrid type respectively. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and antisense cDNA of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V (GnT-V) were used to suppress the expression of GnT-V and decreased the GlcNAc beta1,6-branching or tri-/tetra-antennary structure of surface N-glycans. The structural alterations of N-glycans were verified by sequential lectin affinity chromatography of [3H] mannose-labeled glycans isolated from the cell surface. The cell adhesions to fibronectin (Fn) and human umbilical vein epithelial cell (HUVEC), as well as cell migration (including chemotaxis and invasion) were selected as the parameters of cell behaviors. It was found that cell adhesion and migration were significantly decreased in SW and DMJ treated cells, suggesting that complex type N-glycan is critical for the above cell behaviors. ATRA and antisense GnTV enhanced cell adhesion to Fn but reduce cell adhesion to HUVEC and cell migration. These results reveal that cell surface complex-type N-glycans with GlcNAc beta1,6 branch are more effective than those without this branch in the cell adhesion to HUVEC and cell migration, but N-glycan without GlcNAc beta1,6-branch is the better one in mediating the cell adhesion to Fn. The integrin alpha5beta1 (receptor of Fn) on cell surface was unchanged by DMJ and SW. In contrast, ATRA up regulated alpha5, but not beta1, and antisense GnT-V decreased both alpha5 and beta1. This findings suggest that both the structure of N-glycan and the expression of integrin on cell surface are two of the important factors in the determination of cell adhesion to Fn, a complex biological process.

N-glycan branching requirement in neuronal and postnatal viability

The structural variations among extracellular N-glycans reflect the activity of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases that operate in the Golgi apparatus. More than other types of vertebrate glycans, N-glycans are highly branched oligosaccharides with multiple antennae linked to an underlying mannose core structure. The branching patterns of N-glycans consist of three types, termed high-mannose, hybrid, and complex. Though most extracellular mammalian N-glycans are of the complex type, some cells variably express hybrid and high-mannose forms. Nevertheless, a requirement for hybrid and complex N-glycan branching exists in embryonic development and postnatal function among mice and humans inheriting defective Mgat1 or Mgat2 alleles. The resulting defects in formation N-glycan branching patterns cause multiple abnormalities, including neurologic defects, and have inferred the presence of distinct functions for hybrid and complex N-glycan branches among different cell lineages. We have further explored N-glycan structure-function relationships in vivo by using Cre-loxP conditional mutagenesis to abolish hybrid and complex N-glycan branching specifically among neuronal cells. Our findings show that hybrid N-glycan branching is an essential posttranslational modification among neurons. Loss of Mgat1 resulted in a unique pattern of neuronal glycoprotein deficiency concurrent with caspase 3 activation and apoptosis. Such animals exhibited severe locomotor deficits, tremors, paralysis, and early postnatal death. Unexpectedly, neuronal Mgat2 deletion resulting in the loss of complex but not hybrid N-glycan branching was well tolerated without phenotypic markers of neuronal or locomotor dysfunction. Structural features associated with hybrid N-glycan branching comprise a requisite posttranslational modification to neuronal glycoproteins that permits normal cellular function and viability.     

Apoptosis induced by all-trans retinoic acid in N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V repressed human hepatocarcinoma cells is mediated through endoplasmic reticulum stress

We previously demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was triggered in human hepatocarcinoma 7721 cells transfected with antisense cDNA of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V-AS/7721) which were more susceptible to apoptosis induced by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). In the present study, we report that ATRA-induced apoptosis in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells is mediated through ER stress. We show here that ER stress is enhanced in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells with 80 microM ATRA treatment for 24 h, which is evidenced by the increase of GRP78/Bip, C/EBP-homologous protein-10 (CHOP, also known as GADD153) and spliced XBP1. Additionally, activation of caspase-12, caspase-9, and -3 was detected, and apoptosis morphology was observed in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells with ATRA treatment. These results suggest that ATRA enhances the ER stress triggered in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells, which represents a novel mechanism of ATRA to induce apoptosis. We further observed that GnT-V was significantly repressed and the structure of N-glycans was changed in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells with 80 microM ATRA treatment for 24 h, suggesting that repression of GnT-V by ATRA causes the enhanced ER stress and ER stress-mediated apoptosis in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells.     

Sialylation of N-glycans on the recombinant proteins expressed by a baculovirus-insect cell system under beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase inhibition.

We investigated the ability of a baculovirus-insect cell system to produce sialylated glycoproteins. Despite the presence of enzymes for synthesizing complex-type N-glycans, the most frequent structure of insect N-glycan is the paucimannosidic type, Man(3)GlcNAc(2)(+/-Fuc). The reason for the overwhelming assembly of paucimannosidic N-glycans is not yet well understood. We hypothesized that this predominance might be due to insect-specific, Golgi-associated beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (GlcNAcase)-mediated removal of N-acetylglucosamine residues from the precursor N-glycan, thereby preventing its galactosylation and terminal sialylation. As we expected, the suppression of intrinsic GlcNAcase activity with a specific inhibitor, 2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxynojirimycin, allowed the accumulation of sialylated glycoproteins in the supernatants of insect cell cultures after baculoviral infection. Our observation indicates that GlcNAcase-dependent depletion of N-acetylglucosamine residues from intermediate N-glycans is critical for the assembly of paucimannosidic N-glycans in insect cells and, more importantly, that insect cells (under specific conditions) retain the ability to construct sialylated N-glycans like those in mammalian cells.     

In vivo role of alpha-mannosidase IIx: ineffective spermatogenesis resulting from targeted disruption of the Man2a2 in the mouse

Alpha-mannosidase IIx (MX) is an enzyme closely related to the Golgi N-glycan processing enzyme alpha-mannosidase II (MII). The enzymatic activity of MX in vitro is minimal. Therefore, the in vivo role of MX in N-glycan processing is as yet unclear. The targeted disruption of the gene encoding MX in the mouse resulted in an obvious phenotype, i.e., MX-deficient males were found to be infertile. Testes from homozygous mutant male mice are smaller than those from wild-type or heterozygous littermates. Histology of the MX null mouse testis showed significant reduction of spermatogenic cells in the seminiferous tubules. Electron microscopy showed that prominent intercellular spaces surround MX-deficient spermatogenic cells, suggesting a failure of germ cell adhesion to Sertoli cells. Quantitative structural analyses of N-glycans from wild-type and MX-deficient mouse testis showed that wild-type testes contain GlcNAc-terminated complex type N-glycans, while they are significantly reduced in MX-deficient mutant testis. An in vitro assay for adhesion of spermatogenic cells to Sertoli cells was carried out. By testing the effect of each purified N-glycan oligosaccharide, it was demonstrated that a GlcNAc-terminated tri-antennary, fucosylated N-glycan has an activity on the adhesion between germ cells and Sertoli cells. Thus, the targeted disruption of the gene encoding MX uncovered a novel carbohydrate recognition system in a biologically important process, spermatogenesis.
