Abstract
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies, though there are no effective therapeutic regimens at present. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of mannooligosaccharides extracted from coconut meal (CMOSs) on the proliferation and migration of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells in vitro. The results showed that CMOSs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against HCT116 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner with less cytotoxic effects on the Vero normal cells. CMOSs displayed the ability to increase the activation of caspase-8, -9, and -3/7, as well as the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, CMOSs suppressed HCT116 cell migration in vitro. Interestingly, treatment of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) with CMOSs resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation, cell migration, and capillary-like tube formation, suggesting its anti-vascular angiogenesis. In summary, the results of this study indicate that CMOSs could be a valuable therapeutic candidate for CRC treatment.

Abstract
Degradation of saccharides is relevant to the design of catalytic therapeutics, the production of biofuels, inhibition of biofilms, as well as other applications in chemical biology. Herein, we report the design of multinuclear Cu complexes that enable cleavage of saccharides under physiological conditions. Reactivity studies with para-nitrophenyl (pNP)-conjugated carbohydrates show that dinuclear Cu complexes exhibit a synergistic effect and promote faster and more robust cleavage of saccharide substrates, relative to the mononuclear Cu complex, while no further enhancement is observed for the tetranuclear Cu complex. The use of scavengers for reactive oxygen species confirms that saccharide cleavage is promoted by the formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals through CuII/I redox chemistry, similar to that observed for native copper-containing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LMPOs). Differences in selectivity for di- and tetranuclear Cu complexes are modest. However, these are the first reported small multinuclear Cu complexes that show selectivity and reactivity against mono- and disaccharide substrates and form a basis for further development of metalloglycosidases for applications in chemical biology.

Abstract
Pmel17 is a melanocyte/melanoma-specific protein that is essential for the maturation of melanosomes to form mature, fibrillar, and pigmented organelles. Recently, we reported that the less glycosylated form of Pmel17 (termed iPmel17) is sorted via the plasma membrane in a manner distinct from mature Pmel17 (termed mPmel17), which is sorted directly to melanosomes. To clarify the mechanism(s) underlying the distinct processing and sorting of Pmel17, we generated a highly specific antibody (termed alphaPEP25h) against an epitope within the repeat domain of Pmel17 that is sensitive to changes in O-glycosylation. alphaPEP25h recognizes only iPmel17 and allows analysis of the processing and sorting of iPmel17 when compared with alphaPEP13h, an antibody that recognizes both iPmel17 and mPmel17. Our novel findings using alphaPEP25h demonstrate that iPmel17 differs from mPmel17 not only in its sensitivity to endoglycosidase H, but also in the content of core 1 O-glycans modified with sialic acid. This evidence reveals that iPmel17 is glycosylated differently in the Golgi and that it is sorted through the secretory pathway. Analysis of Pmel17 processing in glycosylation-deficient mutant cells reveals that Pmel17 lacking the correct addition of sialic acid and galactose loses the ability to form fibrils. Furthermore, we show that addition of sialic acid affects the stability and sorting of Pmel17 and reduces pigmentation. Alterations in sialyltransferase activity and substrates differ between normal and transformed melanocytes and may represent a critical change during malignant transformation.

Abstract
Large-scale production of keratinocytes by cell culture is of interest for medical applications. Long-term cultivation of epidermal cells is presently possible with feeder cells, i.e. 3T3 fibroblasts with arrested mitosis, or with specially formulated culture medium. To define refinements for in vitro conditions, the analysis of the natural environment with growth-maintaining/stimulating factors can provide important clues. Cells with proliferative activity are located in the basal layer of the epidermis in close contact with a basement membrane. Employing lectin and reverse lectin histochemistry of skin, muscle fibers and feeder cells, we assumed that the interplay of mannose-binding sites of epidermal cells, detected by a labeled neoglycoprotein, with glycoligands in the feeder cell layer or basement membrane could trigger signaling with relevance for adhesion and growth regulation. Indeed, coating of polystyrene with mannose-containing neoglycoprotein mimicking a mannose-rich cell matrix enabled the cultivation of keratinocytes without feeder cells in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner in serum-containing culture medium. Following this experimental demonstration of specific binding of mannose residues as part of a neoglycoprotein controlled by testing sugar-free carrier protein and other substances, we next synthesized and tested biocompatible polymers. Attachment and proliferation of keratinocytes on the surface of these polymers compared favorably to control experiments using feeder cells. In conclusion, we suggest that these polymers are bioactive offering a perspective for keratinocyte cultivation without feeder cells.

Abstract
Based on the known anti-metastasis activities of lactosides and galactosides, a galactosyl and a lactosyl trimannoside were prepared via the conventional Koenigs-Knorr and trichloroacetimidate methods, respectively. Through typical deblocking procedures, a tetrasaccharide alpha-D-Galp-(1 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1 --> 6)-alpha-D-ManpOCH3 and a pentasaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1 --> 4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1 --> 6)-alpha-D-ManpOCH3 were obtained.

Abstract
The ways in which carbohydrate signals from the extracellular matrix influence the responses of periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts are essentially unknown. The purpose of this study, using video digital image analysis, was to examine the effects of lectins on the attachment, spreading and migrational responses of rat periodontal ligament fibroblasts on the highly glycosylated glycoprotein laminin (LN) in vitro. PDL fibroblasts were isolated from rat molar teeth and grown in culture. Bound LN and control substrates (bovine serum albumin and untreated plastic) were incubated with solutions of either wheatgerm agglutinin (WGA), specific for N-acetylglucosamine, or concanavalin A (ConA), specific for mannose, in 96-well plates. Unbound lectin was rinsed away and 10.0 x 10(3) cells were seeded per well and allowed to attach for 1.5 h. Incubation of LN substrates with WGA, prior to the addition of any cells, inhibited PDL fibroblast binding more than 5-fold. ConA, however, had no effect on cell binding but inhibited mean individual cell spreading nearly 3-fold under similar assay conditions. The effects could be prevented by adding each lectin's respective specific sugar. The lectins had no effects on the control substrates. In a 24-h cell migration assay WGA and ConA both significantly inhibited migration of PDL fibroblasts. It is likely that WGA inhibited cell attachment and cell migration, by binding to oligosaccharides and blocking access to adjacent polypeptide cell recognition sequences on LN. The results from the ConA experiments, where binding was allowed but spreading was severely inhibited, suggest a possible informational role for the carbohydrates present on LN.

Abstract
AIM: To observe the effects of a chemically synthesized tetrose and a natural yeast mannan on experimental liver metastasis of mouse melanoma.
METHODS: After treated with 4mg tetrose (tetrose group) or 4 mg mannan (mannan group) for 30 min at 37 °C, 0.5 ml 1 × 106 B16-MBK melanoma cells were injected into the spleen of mice. Fifty-five days later, melanoma metastatic nodes on the surface of the liver and in other organs as well as mouse survival time were observed.
RESULTS: Of the 6 mice in control (B16 cell + PBS) group, 4 died naturally within 55 d, and 2 were killed on the 55th day. All of the 6 mice had metastases in livers, the total number of the melanoma nodes on each liver surface ranged from 2 to 30, with the largest one merging into the whole liver. One mouse had a neo-plasm in the remnant site of injection, and 3 had metastases in lungs. In contrast, of the 6 mice in tetrose group, only one died on the 50th day after injection, with 3 metastases in the liver, the largest being 10 mm in diameter, the other 5 mice survived until being dissected on the 55th day after injection and had no liver metastasis, but 3 of them had neoplasms in their remnant sites of injection. In mannan group, all of the 6 mice survived and no metastasis was seen except for 2 liver nodes in one mouse with the largest diameter of 1 mm. Neither tetrose nor mannan group had metastasis out of the liver, and the weight of liver in the two groups was significantly lower than those in the control group.
CONCLUSION: Both tetrose and mannan had the effects of preventing melanoma cells from experimental metastasis to and out of the liver, and prolonging the survival time of the mouse.

Abstract
Calreticulin has multiple functions, diverse cellular locations, and putative isoforms. It likely maintains integrin avidity by binding alpha integrin cytoplasmic tails and is a surface lectin which triggers cell spreading. In the present study, we have immunocaptured a cell surface complex from B16 mouse melanoma cells which contains alpha 6 beta 1 integrin, two molecular forms of calreticulin, and KDEL docking protein (KDEL-R). One of the calreticulins, "endocalreticulin", a 52 kDa protein, does not become surface biotinylated, and is probably bound to alpha integrin cytoplasmic tails; it disappears when B16 cells adhere to laminin, and two ubiquitinated calreticulins appear. One ubiquitinated species, a 125 kDa protein, is restricted to focal contacts whereas a second species, a 75 kDa protein, is in focal contacts and surrounding plasma membrane; it also arises when cells bind non-specific surfaces. The other calreticulin, "ectocalreticulin", a 62 kDa protein, becomes surface biotinylated, is probably anchored to surface KDEL-R, and cooperates with alpha 6 beta 1 integrin, triggering cell spreading. The present results suggest a model in which calreticulin-integrin surface complex functions as a symbiotic unit, transmitting information in both directions across the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence indicate that calreticulin has lectin-like properties. As a molecular chaperone, calreticulin binds preferentially to nascent glycoproteins via their immature carbohydrates; this property closely resembles that seen for calnexin, a chaperone with extensive molecular identity to calreticulin. A cell surface form of calreticulin also exhibits lectin-like properties, binding specific oligomannosides including those covalently linked to laminin. In the present study we examined the interaction between calreticulin and laminin by means of surface plasmon resonance. The results show that calreticulin specifically binds to glycosylated laminin but fails to specifically bind tunicamycin-derived unglycosylated laminin or bovine serum albumin. Calreticulin binding to glycosylated laminin requires calcium and is abolished in the presence of EDTA. Scatchard analysis of binding yields an apparent association constant, Ka, of 2.1 +/- 0.9 x 10(6) m-1 while kinetic analysis yields an estimate of the association on rate, (Kassoc), as 2 x 10(5) m-1 s-1. The composite results support calreticulin's lectin-like properties as well as its proposed role in laminin recognition, both in the cell interior and on the cell surface.

Abstract
Protein concentration was measured in 30 exfoliation syndrome samples and 22 age matched controls. Exfoliation samples contained significantly more protein than controls. We also analyzed by SDS gel electrophoresis 32 aqueous samples, 12 with exfoliation syndrome and 20 age matched controls. A novel finding in all samples was a double band with 77 kDa and 78 kDa. These bands probably represent transferrin isoforms, with different carbohydrate side chains. Exfoliation samples contained a lower amount of the 77 kDa band in comparison to the amount of the 78 kDa band. The lower relative concentration of this transferrin isoform in the exfoliation syndrome samples may be indicative of its possible involvement in the disorder. A different oligosaccharide side chain in combination with a relatively high protein concentration may lead to sedimentation of this molecule. On the other hand, laminin, a glycoprotein detected previously in exfoliation material, contains similar oligosaccharide side chains with transferrin. Thus the oligosaccharide side chains of both proteins may be influenced by the same factors.

Abstract
B16 mouse melanoma cells adhere to and spread on laminin. We have previously shown that cell spreading is uncoupled from adhesion when unglycosylated laminin is used as a substratum; spreading was restored by a Pronase digest of laminin which became inactive when it was specifically depleted of its mannoside peptides; spreading was also specifically restored by mannosides such as mannan, Man9, and Man6, but not Man3. The effector mannosides bind to a cell surface receptor, previously shown by direct and indirect methods. We have now identified the receptor as cell surface calreticulin by isolating it via mannan affinity chromatography and showing its sequence identity with mouse calreticulin. Anti-calreticulin antibodies confirm this identity, decorate the B16 cell surface, and block cell spreading. Purified B16 cell calreticulin from whole cell lysates successfully competes with cell surface calreticulin and prevents cell spreading. The composite data implicate cell surface calreticulin as a putative lectin that must be occupied to initiate spreading of laminin-adherent B16 cells.

Abstract
Laminin glycosyl groups are necessary for the spreading of murine melanoma cells which become attached to this glycoprotein. Laminin has been implicated in myogenesis but the potential role of its glycosyl groups in this process has not been examined. In this study we report the effects of the carbohydrate moieties of laminin on myoblast adhesion, spreading, and differentiation. Unglycosylated laminin from tunicamycin-treated cultures of a mouse cell line, M1536 B3, was used in the experiments. Glycosylated laminin from a murine tumor and from cultures of M1563 B3 cells served as controls. Cell binding experiments with C2C12 mouse myoblasts showed that the cells preferred a laminin-coated surface, compared to the uncoated plastic surface (nontissue culture wells). Myoblasts did not distinguish between glycosylated and unglycosylated laminin substrates. Both glycosylated and unglycosylated forms of laminin promoted myoblast growth and differentiation. In contrast, cells on uncoated plastic surfaces grew very slowly and did not further differentiate. The L6 rat myoblast response to glycosylated and unglycosylated laminin was the same. These results indicate that although rodent myoblasts in culture require a laminin substratum for spreading, growth, and differentiation on a proprietary plastic surface, laminin carbohydrates are not implicated in those cellular responses. In contrast, parallel studies using the lectin, Con A, indicate that cell surface glycoconjugates of myoblasts are implicated in the response of these cells to a laminin substratum.
