Abstract
O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc, O-GlcNAcylation) is a post-translational modification of serine/threonine residues of proteins. Alterations in O-GlcNAcylation have been implicated in several types of cancer, regulation of tumor progression, inflammation, and thrombosis through its interaction with signaling pathways. We aim to explore the relationship between O-GlcNAcylation and hemostasis, inflammation, and cancer, which could serve as potential prognostic tools or clinical predictions for cancer patients' healthcare and as an approach to combat cancer. We found that cancer is characterized by high glucose demand and consumption, a chronic inflammatory state, a state of hypercoagulability, and platelet hyperaggregability that favors thrombosis; the latter is a major cause of death in these patients. Furthermore, we review transcription factors and pathways associated with O-GlcNAcylation, thrombosis, inflammation, and cancer, such as the PI3K/Akt/c-Myc pathway, the nuclear factor kappa B pathway, and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. We also review infectious agents associated with cancer and chronic inflammation and potential inhibitors of cancer cell development. We conclude that it is necessary to approach both the diagnosis and treatment of cancer as a network in which multiple signaling pathways are integrated, and to search for a combination of potential drugs that regulate this signaling network.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic, reversible and atypical O-glycosylation that regulates various cellular physiological processes via conformation, stabilisation, localisation, chaperone interaction or activity of target proteins. The O-GlcNAcylation cycle is precisely controlled by collaboration between O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase. Uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine, the sole donor of O-GlcNAcylation produced by the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, is controlled by the input of glucose, glutamine, acetyl coenzyme A and uridine triphosphate, making it a sensor of the fluctuation of molecules, making O-GlcNAcylation a pivotal nutrient sensor for the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids and nucleotides. O-GlcNAcylation, particularly prevalent in liver, is the core hub for controlling systemic glucose homeostasis due to its nutritional sensitivity and precise spatiotemporal regulation of insulin signal transduction. The pathology of various liver diseases has highlighted hepatic metabolic disorder and dysfunction, and abnormal O-GlcNAcylation also plays a specific pathological role in these processes. Therefore, this review describes the unique features of O-GlcNAcylation and its dynamic homeostasis maintenance. Additionally, it explains the underlying nutritional sensitivity of O-GlcNAcylation and discusses its mechanism of spatiotemporal modulation of insulin signal transduction and liver metabolic homeostasis during the fasting and feeding cycle. This review emphasises the pathophysiological implications of O-GlcNAcylation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatic fibrosis, and focuses on the adverse effects of hyper O-GlcNAcylation on liver cancer progression and metabolic reprogramming.

Abstract
O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) plays a key role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, and the inhibition of O-GlcNAcylation has therapeutic potential. To decrease the systemic adverse events and increase targeting, we used sialic acid (SA)-decorated liposomes loaded with OSMI-1, an inhibitor of the O-GlcNAcylation, to further improve the anti-HCC effect. Fifty pairs of HCC tissue samples and the cancer genome atlas database were used to analyze the expression of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and its effects on prognosis and immune cell infiltration. OSMI-1 cells were treated with SA and liposomes. Western blotting, immunofluorescence, cell proliferation assay, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunohistochemistry, and tumorigenicity assays were used to investigate the antitumor effect of SA-modified OSMI-1 liposomes in vitro and in vivo. OGT was highly expressed in HCC tissues, negatively correlated with the degree of tumor infiltration of CD8+ and CD4+T cells and prognosis, and positively correlated with the degree of Treg cell infiltration. SA-modified OSMI-1 liposome (OSMI-1-SAL) was synthesized with stable hydrodynamic size distribution. Both in vitro and in vivo, OSMI-1-SAL exhibited satisfactory biosafety and rapid uptake by HCC cells. Compared to free OSMI-1, OSMI-1-SAL had a stronger capacity for suppressing the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of HCC cells. Moreover, OSMI-1-SAL effectively inhibited tumor initiation and development in mice. OSMI-1-SAL also promoted the release of damage-associated molecular patterns, including anticalreticulin, high-mobility-group protein B1, and adenosine triphosphate, from HCC cells and further promoted the activation and proliferation of the CD8+ and CD4+T cells. In conclusion, the OSMI-1-SAL synthesized in this study can target HCC cells, inhibit tumor proliferation, induce tumor immunogenic cell death, enhance tumor immunogenicity, and promote antitumor immune responses, which has the potential for clinical application in the future.

Cell Oncol (Dordr) 2023; 46:697-715.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs. Despite the good overall prognosis of most low-grade ECs, FIGO I and FIGO II patients might experience tumor recurrence and worse prognosis. The study of alterations related to EC pathogenesis might help to get insights into underlying mechanisms involved in EC development and progression. METHODS Core tumoral samples were used to investigate the role of C1GALT1 in EC by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ECC-1 cells were used as endometrioid EC model to investigate the effect of C1GALT1 depletion using C1GALT1 specific shRNAs. SILAC quantitative proteomics analyses and cell-based assays, PCR, qPCR, WB, dot-blot and IHC analyses were used to identify, quantify and validate dysregulation of proteins. RESULTS Low C1GALT1 protein expression levels associate to a more aggressive phenotype of EC. Out of 5208 proteins identified and quantified by LC-MS/MS, 100 proteins showed dysregulation (log2fold-change ≥ 0.58 or ≤-0.58) in the cell protein extracts and 144 in the secretome of C1GALT1 depleted ECC-1 cells. Nine dysregulated proteins were validated. Bioinformatics analyses pointed out to an increase in pathways associated with an aggressive phenotype. This finding was corroborated by loss-of-function cell-based assays demonstrating higher proliferation, invasion, migration, colony formation and angiogenesis capacity in C1GALT1 depleted cells. These effects were associated to the overexpression of ANXA1, as demonstrated by ANXA1 transient silencing cell-based assays, and thus, correlating C1GALT and ANXA1 protein expression and biological effects. Finally, the negative protein expression correlation found by proteomics between C1GALT1 and LGALS3 was confirmed by IHC. CONCLUSION C1GALT1 stably depleted ECC-1 cells mimic an EC aggressive phenotype observed in patients and might be useful for the identification and validation of EC markers of progression.

Abstract
The clinical progression of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains pessimistic. The aim of the present study was to promote the understanding of the clinical significance and mechanism of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) in SCLC. Wilcoxon tests, standardized mean difference (SMD), and Kruskal–Wallis tests were utilized to compare OGT level differences among the experimental and control groups. The univariate Cox regression analysis, Kaplan–Meier curves, and receiver operating characteristic curves were applied to determine OGT's clinical relevance in cancers. The Spearman correlation analysis and enrichment analysis were utilized to explore the underlying mechanisms of OGT in cancers. For the first time in the field, we provide an overview of OGT in 32 cancers using a large number of samples (n = 21,196), determining distinct OGT expression in 25 cancers and its prognosis effects in 12 cancers. Furthermore, using 950 samples from multiple sources, upregulated OGT was found in both mRNA and protein levels in SCLC (SMD = 0.93, 95% CI [0.24, 1.63]). Higher OGT levels represented a more unfavorable disease-free interval for SCLC patients (p < 0.001). The research also identified OGT expression as a potential marker for SCLC prediction (sensitivity = 0.79, specificity = 0.86, and AUC = 0.88). The high expression of OGT in SCLC may result from the positive regulation of two transcription factors—DEK and XRN2. We primarily investigated the underlying mechanisms of OGT in SCLC. Herein, based on the analyses from pan-cancer to SCLC, OGT demonstrated conspicuous clinical significance. OGT may be an underlying biomarker for the treatment and identification of some cancers, including SCLC.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Which metabolites are associated with varying rates of ovarian aging, measured as annual decline rates of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations? SUMMARY ANSWER Higher serum concentrations of metabolites of phosphate, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, branched chained amino acids (BCAAs), proline, urea and pyroglutamic acid were associated with higher odds of fast annual decline rate of AMH. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Age-related rate of ovarian follicular loss varies among women, and the factors underlying such inter-individual variations are mainly unknown. The rate of ovarian aging is clinically important due to its effects on both reproduction and health of women. Metabolomics, a global investigation of metabolites in biological samples, provides an opportunity to study metabolites or metabolic pathways in relation to a physiological/pathophysiological condition. To date, no metabolomics study has been conducted regarding the differences in the rates of ovarian follicular loss. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This prospective study was conducted on 186 reproductive-aged women with regular menstrual cycles and history of natural fertility, randomly selected using random case selection option in SPSS from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS AMH concentrations were measured at baseline (1999-2001) and the fifth follow-up examination (2014-2017), after a median follow-up of 16 years, by immunoassay using Gen II kit. The annual decline rate of AMH was calculated by dividing the AMH decline rate by the follow-up duration (percent/year). The women were categorized based on the tertiles of the annual decline rates. Untargeted metabolomics analysis of the fasting-serum samples collected during the second follow-up examination cycle (2005-2008) was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A combination of univariate and multivariate approaches was used to investigate the associations between metabolites and the annual decline rates of AMH. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE After adjusting the baseline values of age, AMH and BMI, 29 metabolites were positively correlated with the annual AMH decline rates. The comparisons among the tertiles of the annual decline rate of AMH revealed an increase in the relative abundance of 15 metabolites in the women with a fast decline (tertile 3), compared to those with a slow decline (tertile 1). There was no distinct separation between women with slow and fast decline rates while considering 41 metabolites simultaneously using the principal component analysis and the partial least-squares discriminant analysis models. The odds of fast AMH decline was increased with higher serum metabolites of phosphate, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, BCAAs, proline, urea and pyroglutamic acid. Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, BCAAs metabolism and aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis were among the most significant pathways associated with the fast decline rate of AMH. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Estimating the annual decline rates of AMH using the only two measures of AMH is the main limitation of the study which assumes a linear fixed reduction in AMH during the study. Since using the two-time points did not account for the variability in the decline rate of AMH, the annual decline rates estimated in this study may not accurately show the trend of the reduction in AMH. In addition, despite the longitudinal nature of the study and statistical adjustment of the participants' ages, it is difficult to distinguish the AMH-related metabolites observed in this study can accelerate ovarian aging or they are reflections of different rates of the aging process. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Some metabolite features related to the decline rates of AMH have been suggested in this study; further prospective studies with multiple measurements of AMH are needed to confirm the findings of this study and to better understand the molecular process underlying variations in ovarian aging. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) This study, as a part of PhD thesis of Ms Nazanin Moslehi, was supported by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (10522-4). There were no competing interests. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER N/A.

Abstract
Glycosylation events play an invaluable role in regulating cellular processes including enzymatic activity, immune recognition, protein stability, and cell-cell interactions. However, researchers have yet to realize the full range of glycan mediated biological functions due to a lack of appropriate chemical tools. Fortunately, the past 25 years has seen the emergence of modified sugar analogs, termed metabolic chemical reporters (MCRs), which are metabolized by endogenous enzymes to label complex glycan structures. Here, we review the major reporters for each class of glycosylation and highlight recent applications that have made a tremendous impact on the field of glycobiology.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is an atypical, reversible, and dynamic glycosylation that plays a critical role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of cells by regulating various biological processes such as signal transduction, proteasome activity, apoptosis, autophagy, transcription, and translation. It can also respond to environmental changes and physiological signals to play the role of "stress receptor" and "nutrition sensor" in a variety of stress responses and biological processes. Even, a homeostatic disorder of O-GlcNAcylation may cause many diseases. Therefore, O-GlcNAcylation and its regulatory role in stress response are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
Post-translational modification of intracellular proteins with a single N-acetylglucosamine sugar (O-GlcNAcylation) regulates signaling, proliferation, metabolism and protein stability. In breast cancer, expression of the enzyme that catalyzes O-GlcNAcylation – O-GlcNAc-transferase (OGT), and the extent of protein O-GlcNAcylation, are upregulated in tumor tissue, and correlate with cancer progression. Here we compare the significance of O-GlcNAcylation in a panel of breast cancer cells of different phenotypes. We find a greater dependency on OGT among triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines, which respond to OGT inhibition by undergoing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Searching for the cause of this response, we evaluate the changes in the proteome that occur after OGT inhibition or knock-down, employing a reverse-phase protein array (RPPA). We identify transcriptional repressor - hairy and enhancer of split-1 (HES1) - as a mediator of the OGT inhibition response in the TNBC cells. Inhibition of OGT as well as the loss of HES1 results in potent cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The study raises a possibility of using OGT inhibition to potentiate DNA damage in the TNBC cells.
