Al Saoud R, Hamrouni A, Idris A, Mousa WK, Abu Izneid T. Recent advances in the development of sialyltransferase inhibitors to control cancer metastasis: A comprehensive review. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115091. [PMID: 37421784 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Metastasis accounts for the majority of cancer-associated mortalities, representing a huge health and economic burden. One of the mechanisms that enables metastasis is hypersialylation, characterized by an overabundance of sialylated glycans on the tumor surface, which leads to repulsion and detachment of cells from the original tumor. Once the tumor cells are mobilized, sialylated glycans hijack the natural killer T-cells through self-molecular mimicry and activatea downstream cascade of molecular events that result in inhibition of cytotoxicity and inflammatory responses against cancer cells, ultimately leading to immune evasion. Sialylation is mediated by a family of enzymes known as sialyltransferases (STs), which catalyse the transfer of sialic acid residue from the donor, CMP-sialic acid, onto the terminal end of an acceptor such as N-acetylgalactosamine on the cell-surface. Upregulation of STs increases tumor hypersialylation by up to 60% which is considered a distinctive hallmark of several types of cancers such as pancreatic, breast, and ovarian cancer. Therefore, inhibiting STs has emerged as a potential strategy to prevent metastasis. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the recent advances in designing novel sialyltransferase inhibitors using ligand-based drug design and high-throughput screening of natural and synthetic entities, emphasizing the most successful approaches. We analyse the limitations and challenges of designing selective, potent, and cell-permeable ST inhibitors that hindered further development of ST inhibitors into clinical trials. We conclude by analysing emerging opportunities, including advanced delivery methods which further increase the potential of these inhibitors to enrich the clinics with novel therapeutics to combat metastasis.

Aberrant Sialylation in Cancer: Therapeutic Opportunities. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14174248.

Abstract
The surface of every eukaryotic cell is coated in a thick layer of glycans that acts as a key interface with the extracellular environment. Cancer cells have a different ‘glycan coat’ to healthy cells and aberrant glycosylation is a universal feature of cancer cells linked to all of the cancer hallmarks. This means glycans hold huge potential for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. One key change in tumour glycosylation is increased sialylation, both on N-glycans and O-glycans, which leads to a dense forest of sialylated structures covering the cell surface. This hypersialylation has far-reaching consequences for cancer cells, and sialylated glycans are fundamental in tumour growth, metastasis, immune evasion and drug resistance. The development of strategies to inhibit aberrant sialylation in cancer represents an important opportunity to develop new therapeutics. Here, I summarise recent advances to target aberrant sialylation in cancer, including the development of sialyltransferase inhibitors and strategies to inhibit Siglecs and Selectins, and discuss opportunities for the future.

Abstract
Glycans are essential biomolecules in regulating human physiology and pathology ranging from signal transduction to microbial infections. Developing complex human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, are a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetics dominates embryonic development and the passing of genes to the next generation whereas the information in glycans reflects the impact of internal and external environmental factors, such as diseases, lifestyle, and social factors, on a person's health and disease. The reason behind this is that glycans are not directly encoded in a genetic template. Instead, they are assembled dynamically by hundreds of enzymes organized in more than 10 complex biosynthetic pathways. Any environmental changes affecting enzymatic activities or the availability of high-energy monosaccharide donors in a specific location will disturb the final structure of glycans. The glycan structure-dependent biological activities subsequently enable or disable gene expressions, which partially explain that it is difficult to pinpoint specific genetic defects to aging-associated diseases. Glycan-based biomarkers are currently used for diagnosis of diabetes, cancers, and other complex diseases. We will recapitulate the discovery of glucose, glycated proteins, glycan-, and glycoprotein-based biomarkers followed by summarizing clinically used glycan/glycoprotein-based biomarkers. The potential serum/plasma-derived N- and O-linked glycans as biomarkers will also be discussed.

Abstract
Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers globally. Survival rates for patients are directly correlated with stage of diagnosis; despite this knowledge, 60% of individuals are presenting with late-stage disease. Currently, the initial evaluation of a questionable lesion is performed by a conventional visual examination with white light. If a lesion is deemed suspicious, a biopsy is taken for diagnosis. However, not all lesions present suspicious under visual white light examination, and there is limited specificity in differentiating between benign and malignant transformations. Several vital dyes, light-based detection systems, and cytology evaluation methods have been formulated to aid in the visualization process, but their lack of specific biomarkers resulted in high false-positive rates and thus limits their reliability as screening and guidance tools. In this review, we will analyze the current methodologies and demonstrate the need for specific intraoral imaging agents to aid in screening and diagnosis to identify patients earlier. Several novel molecular imaging agents will be presented as, by result of their molecular targeting, they aim to have high specificity for tumor pathways and can support in identifying dysplastic/cancerous lesions and guiding visualization of biopsy sites. Imaging agents that are easy to use, inexpensive, noninvasive, and specific can be utilized to increase the number of patients who are screened and monitored in a variety of different environments, with the ultimate goal of increasing early detection.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a protein post translational modification which plays important role in protein function, stabilization, trafficking, and turnover. Alteration of protein glycosylation is a common phenomenon during tumor progression, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, as well as metastasis. Hence, aberrant glycan structures and the induced corresponding anti-carbohydrate antibodies are potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. In this study, serum N-glycomes and anti-carbohydrate antibodies from normal populations and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients were investigated. Total serum proteins were lyophilized and subjected to chemical reduction, alkylation and trypsin digestion. The N-glycans were released, purified, permethylated, and analyzed using MALDI-TOF-Mass spectrometry. In addition, the serum anti-carbohydrate antibody profiles were also investigated by carbohydrate microarray. We found that the relative abundances of seven N-glycans were decreased or increased in serum of OSCC with diagnostic accuracy greater than 75%. The relative abundances of total tri-antennary and tetra-antennary glycans with varying degrees of fucosylation and sialylation were also increased in serum N-glycomes of OSCC. In an independent validation group of forty-eight OCCC patients, most of the high-molecular weight serum N-glycans showed significantly high sensitivity and specificity according to the identified cutoff values. Furthermore, the serum levels of two IgM antibodies were elevated accompanied with the decreased levels of nine IgG antibodies in patient serum. Taken together, these serum N-glycans and antibodies identified in this study should be considered as the candidates of potential biomarkers for OSCC diagnosis.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is a highly heterogeneous aggressive primary brain tumor, with the glioma stem-like cells (GSC) being more sensitive to cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated killing than glioma differentiated cells (GDC). However, the mechanism behind this higher sensitivity is unclear. Here, we found that the mitochondrial morphology of GSCs modulates the ER-mitochondria contacts that regulate the surface expression of sialylated glycans and their recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. GSCs displayed diminished ER-mitochondria contacts compared to GDCs. Forced ER-mitochondria contacts in GSCs increased their cell surface expression of sialylated glycans and reduced their susceptibility to cytotoxic lymphocytes. Therefore, mitochondrial morphology and dynamism dictate the ER-mitochondria contacts in order to regulate the surface expression of certain glycans and thus play a role in GSC recognition and elimination by immune effector cells. Targeting the mitochondrial morphology, dynamism, and contacts with the ER could be an innovative strategy to deplete the cancer stem cell compartment to successfully treat glioblastoma.

Abstract
Neoplastic transformation results in a wide variety of cellular alterations that impact the growth, survival, and general behavior of affected tissue. Although genetic alterations underpin the development of neoplastic disease, epigenetic changes can exert an equally significant effect on neoplastic transformation. Among neoplasia-associated epigenetic alterations, changes in cellular glycosylation have recently received attention as a key component of neoplastic progression. Alterations in glycosylation appear to not only directly impact cell growth and survival but also facilitate tumor-induced immunomodulation and eventual metastasis. Many of these changes may support neoplastic progression, and unique alterations in tumor-associated glycosylation may also serve as a distinct feature of cancer cells and therefore provide novel diagnostic and even therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Aberrant and dysregulated protein glycosylation is a well-established event in the process of oncogenesis and cancer progression. Years of study on the glycobiology of cancer have been focused on the development of clinically viable diagnostic applications of this knowledge. However, for a number of reasons, there has been only sparse and varied success. The causes of this range from technical to biological issues that arise when studying protein glycosylation and attempting to apply it to practical applications. This review focuses on the pitfalls, advances, and future directions to be taken in the development of clinically applicable quantitative assays using glycan moieties from serum-based proteins as analytes. Topics covered include the development and progress of applications of lectins, mass spectrometry, and other technologies towards this purpose. Slowly but surely, novel applications of established and development of new technologies will eventually provide us with the tools to reach the ultimate goal of quantification of the full scope of heterogeneity associated with the glycosylation of biomarker candidate glycoproteins in a clinically applicable fashion.

Abstract
This study presents the development of stable-isotope labeled hydrophobic, hydrazide reagents for the relative quantification of N-linked glycans. The P2GPN "light" ((12)C) and "heavy" ((13)C(6)) pair are used to differentially label two N-linked glycan samples. The samples are combined 1:1, separated using HILIC, and then mass differentiated and quantified using mass spectrometry. These reagents have several benefits: (1) impart hydrophobic character to the glycans affording an increase in electrospray ionization efficiency and MS detection; (2) indistinguishable chromatographic, MS, and MS/MS performance of the "light" and "heavy" reagents affording relative quantification; and (3) analytical variability is significantly reduced due to the two samples being mixed together after sample preparation. Obtaining these analytical benefits only requires ~4 h of sample preparation time. It is shown that these reagents are capable of quantifying changes in glycosylation in simple mixtures, and the analytical variability of the reagents in pooled plasma samples is shown to be less than ±30%. Additionally, the incorporation of an internal standard allows one to account for the difference in systematic error between the two samples due to the samples being processed in parallel and not mixed until after derivatization.

Abstract
Spontaneous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in the chicken presents a similar pathogenesis compared with humans including CA-125 expression and genetic mutational frequencies (e.g., p53). The high prevalence of spontaneous EOC chickens also provides a unique experimental model for biomarker discovery at the genomic, proteomic, glycomic, and metabolomic level. In an effort to exploit this unique model for biomarker discovery, longitudinal plasma samples were collected from chickens at three month intervals for one year. The study described herein involved cleaving the N-glycans from these longitudinal chicken plasma samples and analyzing them via nanoLC-FTMS/MS. Glycans identified in this study were previously found in human plasma and this work provides a promising methodology to enable longitudinal studies of the N-linked plasma glycome profile during EOC progression. The structure, abundance, and intra-variability and inter-variability for 35 N-linked glycans identified in this study are reported. The full potential of the chicken model for biomarker discovery has yet to be realized, but the initial interrogation of longitudinally-procured samples provides evidence that supports the value of this strategy in the search for glycomic biomarkers.

Abstract
Recent investigations continue to emphasize the importance of glycosylation in various diseases including cancer. In this work, we present a step-by-step protocol describing a method for N-linked glycan profiling of plasma glycoproteins by nanoflow liquid chromatography Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS). A large experimental space was initially explored and is described herein. Three internal standards were spiked into the sample and provided normalization of plasma glycan abundance across different experimental conditions. Incubation methods and times and the effect of NP40 detergent on glycan abundance were explored. It was found that an 18-h incubation with no detergent led to the greatest ion abundance; however, data could be obtained in less than one day from raw plasma samples utilizing microwave irradiation or shorter incubation periods. The intersample precision of three different glycans was less than 5.5% (RSD) when the internal standards were added prior to the initial processing step. The high mass measurement accuracy (<3 ppm) afforded by the FTICR mass spectrometer provided confident identifications of several glycan species.

Abstract
Adenylate cyclase activity was measured in plasma membranes isolated from Morris Hepatoma 7800 and from control and host livers. The only difference found in tumor enzyme activity was the lack of response to glucagon. The membrane-binding capacities for the pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon were measured. Hepatoma membranes did not bind glucagon. Insulin-binding parameters could not be determined because of high non-specific binding. The plasma levels of insulin in the tumor-bearing animals were approximately half of those found in controls, whereas the glucagon levels in plasma were 50% higher in tumor-bearing animals. Thyroxine and triiodothyronine plasma levels were reduced in tumor-bearing rats, while the thyroid-stimulating hormone level was within normal limits. The amount of cAMP (275 pmol g-1) and cGMP (3.6 pmol g-1) in the tumor were lower than in the host and control livers, but the ratio of cGMP to cAMP in the tumor was increased by a factor of 2. These results are discussed with respect to control mechanisms of cell proliferation in comparison with other hepato-proliferative states.

Abstract
Insulin receptors of human lymphocytes (IM-9 line) were biosynthetically labeled with [3H]glucosamine, [3H]galactose, [3H]fucose, or [3H]mannose. After solubilization in Triton X-100, cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with serum from a patient containing autoantibodies to the insulin receptor. Na-DodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitates under reducing conditions showed the presence of major labeled subunits of apparent Mr 134,000 and 98,000 and a minor component of Mr 206,000. The ratio of activity in the 134,000 versus 98,000 Mr bands varied from 2:1 for mannose to 1.2:1 for galactose. In addition, the receptor subunits could be demonstrated when the cell surface of intact lymphocytes was labeled with NaB3H4 by using either the galactose oxidase (acts on nonreducing terminal galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine) technique or the periodate (oxidizes sialic acid) technique. With the periodate treatment, NaB3H4 labeled preferentially the Mr 98,000 band. With the galactose oxidase procedure, on the other hand, NaB3H4 labeled only the Mr 134,000 band; prior treatment with neuraminidase increased the labeling of this band and also revealed the Mr 98,000 subunit. These data demonstrate that the major subunits of the insulin receptor are complex glycoproteins that have differences in the nonreducing ends of the carbohydrate chains. In the Mr 134,000 subunit, there appear to be more exposed galactosyl or N-acetylgalactosaminyl (or both) residues, whereas the Mr 98,000 subunit appears to have a higher degree of sialylation. These labeling techniques provide new tools to examine the role of the carbohydrate moiety in insulin receptor function and turnover.

Abstract
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was extracted and purified from urine of normal pregnant women and patients with hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma using the sam methods. Both hCG-hydatidiform mole and hCG-choriocarcinoma as well as hCG-normal pregnancy was separated into alpha and beta subunits by SDS disc electrophoresis upon treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol and showed the same immunoreactivities against anti-hCG, -alpha hCG, and -beta hCG as hCG in each radioimmunoassay. In vivo bioassay, bioactivities of hCG- normal pregnancy and hCG-hydatidiform mole were approximately 7,000 IU/mg (2nd IS), while that of hCG--choriocarcinoma was only 400 IU/mg. Conversely, the receptor binding activities in vitro of hCG-chorio carcinoma was about 3 times more effective than the other 2. Although the amino acid composition of these hCG preparations were practically identical, a great difference in the carbohydrate composition was observed. The significant difference was that while sialic acid was undetectable in hCG-choriocarcinoma approximately 8.5% of sialic acid was found in hCG-normal pregnancy and hCG-hydatidiform mole. A parallel finding was that iodinated hCG-choriocarcinoma was taken up in large quantities by the liver in comparison to the ovary which differed from that observed with hCG-normal pregnancy and hCG-hydatidiform mole in Parlow rats. The present findings support the thesis that neoplastic or malignant transformation of trophoblasts may result in an alteration of the glycosylation process, especially the sialylation, in the biosynthesis of hCG rather than the translation steps.

Abstract
The ability of murine tumor cells to metastasize spontaneously from subcutaneous sites is positively correlated with the total sialic acid content of the cells in culture, the degree to which the sialic acid is exposed on the tumor cell surface, and, most strongly, with the degree of sialylation of galactosyl and N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues in cell surface glycoconjugates. These findings suggest that sialic acid on the cell surface may play a role in tumor cell metastasis.

Abstract
By using a four-step procedure (i, solubilization with Triton X-100; ii, affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose; iii, affinity chromatography on wheat germ lectin-Sepharose; iv, preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis) a glycoprotein was isolated from rat liver plasma membrane. The molecular weight is 110,000 and the isoelectric point is 5.8. It contains L-fucose, N-acetylneuraminic acid, D-galactose, D-mannose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, and considerable quantities of aspartate, threonine, serine, and leucine. In pulse-chase experiments the half-lives of methionine and arginine, representing the half-life of the protein, were determined as 70 hr and 78 hr, respectively. The half-lives of the terminal carbohydrates L-fucose and N-acetylneuraminic acid were 12.5 and 33 hr, respectively. The galactose half-life was 20 hr. From this it is concluded that terminal sugars turn over several times in the life-span of this protein molecule. This process may be operative during membrane recycling mechanisms.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the adenylate cyclase of a tumour (rat osteosarcoma) growing in vivo with that of fast-growing embryonic bone. In the tumour the enzyme activity per total protein or DNA (under the same assay conditions) was 6--10-fold lower than in embryonic bone. To characterize this difference, we examined the kinetic properties of the enzyme in partially purified plasma membranes from the two tissues. A purification procedure based on differential centrifugation and discontinuous-sucrose-gradient centrifugation yielded a 10-fold increase in the specific activities of adenylate cyclase and 5'-nucleotidase in bone. The same procedure yielded an enriched membrane preparation from the tumour, but, relative to 5'-nucleotidase, a loss of 30% in adenylate cyclase occurred, which could not be recovered from another fraction. Kinetic analysis revealed that the lower adenylate cyclase activity in the tumour was due to a decrease in Vmax.. There was no significant difference in Ks (approx. 0.15 mM), and in the Km for GTP and p[NH]ppG. There were marked differences, however, in the extent of stimulation by p[NH]ppG, GTP and hormone, which was greater in tumour, and in the K1 for adenosine inhibition, which was 140 microM in bone and 500 microM in tumour. Under maximum stimulatory conditions, the enzyme activity in the tumour approached that in bone. The kinetic differences between bone and tumour enzyme were decreased by detergent solubilization, suggesting that the membrane environment plays a role in the generation of the observed differences.

Abstract
A glycoprotein component of epithelial basement membranes (EBM) has been isolated from murine kidney homogenates by extraction with 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.2, precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 and chromatography on controlled pore glass. Antiserum produced against this glycoprotein reacts specifically with the basement membranes of renal glomeruli and tublules. The EBM glycoprotein of renal origin is antigenically identical with a glycoprotein component of epithelial basement membrane secreted by a murine teratocarcinoma grown in vitro, and the amino acid composition of the two EBM glycoproteins is markedly similar. Both glycoproteins were isolated as high molecular weight aggregates. Disaggregation with sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol resulted in release of monomers of 32 000 and 34 000 daltons for kidney EBM glycoprotein and teratocarcinoma EBM glycoprotein, respectively. The difference in molecular weight is apparently due to increased amounts of fucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid in the glycoprotein secreted by the teratocarcinoma. In addition, both EBM glycoproteins contain galactose, glucose and N-acetylgalactosamine.

Abstract
The glycoproteins of whole cells have been analyzed by direct application of radio-iodinated lectins to sodium dodecyl sulfate gels, followed by autoradiography. By use of lectins with different carbohydrate specificities, different sets of glycoproteins have been visualized. The most prominent lectin-binding band in many gels is thelarge, external, transformation-sensitive (LETS) protein. Major glycoprotein differences are revealed when normal and virus-transformed cells are compared. Certain differences, however, are also seen when the glycoproteins are compared from two separately derived simian virus 40 transformants of 3T3 cells, suggesting a degree of clonal variation between these lines that may not relate to transformation. A complementary technique is used to detect specific antigens in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels by direct application of iodinated antibodies. An antiserum specific for the LETS protein is used to identify this antigen in the gels of both normal and transformed cells.

Abstract
A suspension of melanoma cells isolated non-enzymatically from tumors (melanotic and amelanotic) of transplantable melanoma in Syrian hamster was treated with trypsin to obtain surface material. In the material released from the cell surface contents of protein, aminosugars, fucose, sialic acids and hexoses were determined. Differences in the composition of the surface material derived from two kinds of melanoma were observed. The differences in the surface glycoprotein composition seem to be related to biological properties of both melanomas.

Abstract
Components on the surface of MM2 ascites mammary carcinoma cells induce agglutination factors in the serum of syngeneic host C3H/He mice, and bind the factors in vitro. These components have been classified into three groups: MM2-specific substances, mammary tumor virus (MTV)-associated substances and tumor-associated embryonic materials. The substances contained saccharide moieties and their terminal sugar residues were essential for the binding of the serum factors. These terminal saccharides were exposed during cell proliferation,but masked in stationary cells, at least partly, due to elongation of the saccahride moieits. The terminal structures of these polysaccharide moities of growing and stationary cells were studied by semiquantitative tumor cell agglutination using the agglutinating activities against MM2 cells of MM2-regressor serum and of FMA/R- and Ehrlich-regressor sera which had partial cross-agglutination activities. Agglutination by phytohemagglutinins, inhibition of the agglutination by saccharides or with isolated cell surface components and treatment of the cells with glycosidases were also used for this purpose.

Abstract
A single intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol induces resting cells from the acini of the mouse parotid gland to enter the proliferative cycle. Parotid plasma membrane from non-stimulated and isoproterenol-treated mice were prepared by differential centrifugation of the homogenates. Comparing the chemical composition of plasma membranes from non-stimulated and isoproterenol-treated mice, no variation in the phospholipid/protein ratio was observed. However, the levels of neutral sugars, hexosamines and sialic acid falls drastically in the early prereplicative phase. The decrease in neutral sugars and hexosamines in plasma membranes caused by isoproterenol is imitated by pilocarpine, which induces secretion but little or no increase in DNA synthesis. However, pilocarpine does not mobilize sialic acid from the plasma membrane. Moreover, dosis of isoproterenol that elicits secretion but not mitosis in the acinar cells, does not induce the movement of sialic acid from the plasma membrane. The mobilization of sialic acid from plasma membranes caused by isoproterenol was also demonstrated in an in vitro system. Treatment of the plasma membrane with chloroform/methanol shows that around 60% of the sialic acid is present in the less polar phase. We conclude that the separation of sialic acid from the plasma membrane is one of the early steps in the sequence of events leading to DNA synthesis and cell division in the isoproterenol-stimulated parotid gland of mice.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of gluten-sensitive enteropathies is unknown, although a peptidase deficiency and an immune defect have been postulated. The effect of plant-derived lectins on cells has led to an alternative concept in which a defect of the cell surface membrane allows gluten to act as a lectin and this reaction initiates cell toxicity. The proposed abnormality is viewed as a structural change produced by incomplete oligosaccharide chains in surface-membrane glycoproteins.

Abstract
Membrane glycopeptides were examined in human colonic adenocarcinoma and normal colonic mucosa. The carbohydrates of membrane glycopeptides were found to be markedly reduced in tumor tissue and the relative proportions of the various sugars were altered. Although all of the sugars were lower in tumor tissue when compared to the adjacent normal mucosa, galactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid were more significantly reduced. Examination of the blood group activity and lectin-binding properties of membrane glycopeptides revealed that specific carbohydrate structures had changed in the tumor tissue. Most striking of these changes was the disappearance of glycoprotein-associated blood group A activity. Assay of the enzyme responsible for synthesis of the blood group A determinant showed that this glycosyltransferase activity was greatly diminished in tumor tissue. A galactosyltransferase and a fucosyltransferase were also significantly lower in the tumor tissue whereas the levels of another galactosyltransferase and a sialyltransferase were unaltered. Glycosidase activities in the normal and tumor tissues were similar. The results show that an alteration in glycoprotein biosynthesis occurred during tumorigenesis that resulted in a modified membrane glycoprotein composition and that these changes are probably a reflection of reduced levels of the enzymes responsible for glycoprotein synthesis.

Abstract
Homogenates of cultured rat embryo fibroblasts have been assayed for acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, cathepsin D, acid deoxyribonuclease, cytochrome oxidase, NADH cytochrome c reductase, 5'-nucleotidase, inosine diphosphatase, acid pyrophosphatase, neutral pyrophosphatase, esterase, catalase, cholesterol, and RNA. The validity of the assay conditions was checked. Neutral pyrophosphatase is a readily soluble enzyme. Acid hydrolases, except acid pyrophosphatase, are particle-bound enzymes, which exhibit a high degree of structural latency. They are activated and solubilized in a parallel fashion by mechanical treatments and tensio-active agents. Catalase is also particle-bound and latent; activating conditions stronger than those for hydrolases are required to activate the enzyme. Acid pyrophosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and inosine diphosphatase are firmly particle-bound, but not latent; they are not easily solubilized. In differential and isopycnic centrifugation, the latent hydrolases, cytochrome oxidase and catalase dissociate largely from each other; this suggests the occurrence of lysosomes and peroxisome-like structures besides mitochondria. The distribution patterns of 5'-nucleotidase and cholesterol are largely similar; digitonin influences their equilibrium density to the same extent; these two constituents are thought to be related to the plasma membrane. Inosine diphosphatase and acid pyrophosphatase are also partially associated with the plasma membrane, although some part of these enzymic activities probably belongs to other structures. NADH cytochrome c reductase is associated partly with the endoplasmic reticulum, partly with mitochondria.

Abstract
A cell surface component has been isolated in partially purified form from cultured chick embryo and chick heart fibroblasts. This glycoprotein is similar to a protein recently reported to be present at the surface of normal cells, and missing after neoplastic transformation. It is a major cell surface glycoprotein that is synthesized by cultured fibroblasts, but is not collagen. It is shown to be markedly trypsin-sensitive, and its recovery from the cell surface is dependent on cell density. It is excluded from Sephadex G-200, but is not rapidly sedimented by ultracentrifugation, and has an apparent molecular weight of 220,000. The isolation of this cell surface glycoprotein may now provide a means of determining its function.
