Abstract
Research using mouse lymphoma cell lines has resulted in many reports of glycosylation being a key regulator for the distant metastasis of mouse lymphoma cells in animal models. In contrast, there are only a few reports of experiments examining human lymphoma cell metastasis. The glycosylation pattern in human lymphoma shows that loss of Phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinating lectin (L-PHA) reactive oligosaccharides, and sialylation of L-PHA reactive oligosaccharides, are closely associated with a worse prognosis for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Sialic acid is related to cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and metastasis of HBL-8 Burkitt lymphoma cells in a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse animal model. In HBL-8 clones, differential cell surface sialylation was due to different expression levels of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase (GNE). Knockdown of beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal1) resulted in enhanced lymphoma cell adhesion to galectin-1 in anaplastic large cell lymphoma cell line, H-ALCL. A fluorinated sialic acid analogue was shown to be useful for inhibiting sialyltransferase and may provide a new glycoengineering strategy for desialylation, as well as inhibiting invasion and metastasis and inducing cell death in lymphoma cell lines. This paper discusses glycosylation and sialylation in human lymphoma, and several glycoengineering therapeutic strategies for lymphoma.

Abstract
Cancer cells exhibited the aberrant cancer-associated glycans that are potential biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring of the cancer. In this study, Sophora japonica agglutinin (SJA) was used to detect SJA-specific N-acetylgalactosamine-associated glycans (SNAG) in liver tissues and sera from cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients. Whether SNAG could be the diagnostic and prognostic markers for CCA was evaluated. SJA-histochemistry revealed that SNAG was undetec2 in normal bile ducts but was highly expressed in hyperplastic/dysplastic bile ducts and CCA. SNAG was negative in hepatocytes and hepatoma tissues indicating SNAG as a differential marker of CCA and hepatoma. SJA-histochemistry of CCA hamster tissues revealed the involvement of SNAG in the early pathogenesis of bile duct epithelia and CCA development. A SJA-based ELISA was successfully developed to determine SNAG in serum. Serum-SNAG from CCA patients was significantly higher than those of non-CCA control groups with the diagnostic values of 59.5% sensitivity and 73.6% specificity, comparable to those of serum CA19-9. High levels of serum SNAG (≥69AU/ml) indicated poor survival of CCA patients. Taken together, SNAG was first demonstrated here to be a glycobiomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of CCA. Association of SNAG with pathogenesis of bile ducts and CCA development were suggested. (198).

Abstract
Background Sophorae Flos (SF) is a composite of flowers and buds of Styphnolobium japonicum (L.) Schott and has been used in traditional Korean and Chinese medicine for the treatment of hemostasis and inflammation. Previous studies reported that SF possesses anti-obesity properties, as well as anti-allergic, anti-proliferative, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the effect of SF in bone resorption has not been studies. In this study, we examined the potential of SF extract (SFE) to inhibit receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) -induced osteoclast differentiation in cultured mouse-derived bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). Methods BMMs, that act as osteoclast precursors, were cultured with M-CSF (50 ng/ml) and RANKL (100 ng/ml) for 4 days to generate osteoclasts. Osteoclast differentiation was measured by tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP) staining and the TRAP solution assay. Osteoclast differentiation marker genes were analyzed by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. RANKLs signaling pathways were confirmed through western blotting. Results SFE significantly decreased osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. SFE inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by suppressing NF-κB activation. By contrast, SFE did not affect phospholipase C gamma 2 or subsequent cAMP response element binding activation. SFE inhibited the RANKL-induced expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1). Conclusions SFE attenuated the RANKL-mediated induction of NF-κB through inhibition of IκBα phosphorylation, which contributed to inhibiting of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation through downregulation of NFATc1.

Abstract
Recognition of bacterial surface epitopes by host receptors plays an important role in the infectious process and is intimately associated with bacterial virulence. Delineation of bacteria-host interactions commonly relies on the detection of binding events between purified bacteria- and host-target molecules. In this work, we describe a combined microarray and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) approach for the analysis of carbohydrate-mediated interactions directly on the bacterial surface, thus preserving the native environment of the bacterial targets. Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) was selected as a model pathogenic species not displaying a polysaccharide capsule or O-antigen-containing lipopolysaccharide, a trait commonly found in several important respiratory pathogens. Here, we demonstrate the usefulness of NTHi microarrays for exploring the presence of carbohydrate structures on the bacterial surface. Furthermore, the microarray approach is shown to be efficient for detecting strain-selective binding of three innate immune lectins, namely, surfactant protein D, human galectin-8, and Siglec-14, to different NTHi clinical isolates. In parallel, QCM bacteria-chips were developed for the analysis of lectin-binding kinetics and affinity. This novel QCM approach involves capture of NTHi on lectin-derivatized chips followed by formaldehyde fixation, rendering the bacteria an integrated part of the sensor chip, and subsequent binding assays with label-free lectins. The binding parameters obtained for selected NTHi-lectin pairs provide further insights into the interactions occurring at the bacterial surface.

Abstract
The important role of sialic acid in various biological phenomena is well-established. In order to further clarify the role of sialic acid in cell death induced by various stimuli, the present study compared the cell survival of the HBL-2 human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line upon anticancer drug-induced cell death, with or without neuraminidase pretreatment: Cell survival was assessed using flow cytometry. Upon treatment with doxorubicin or etoposide, the HBL-2 cell viability decreased. In etoposide-induced cell death, the HBL-2 cells demonstrated nuclear fragmentation, which was consistent with morphologically apoptotic cells. In addition, a higher decrease in the cell viability of etoposide-treated HBL-2 cells was observed in cells pretreated with neuraminidase compared with cells that were not pretreated. Furthermore, the caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 activities in etoposide-induced apoptosis demonstrated a greater increase upon neuraminidase pretreatment compared with no neuraminidase pretreatment. In conclusion, cell surface sialylation appears to protect lymphoma cells from anticancer drug-induced apoptosis.

The selected flavonol glycoside derived from Sophorae Flos improves glucose uptake and inhibits adipocyte differentiation via activation AMPK in 3T3-L1 cells. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2010; 20:6076-81. [PMID: 20822902 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.08.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2010] [Revised: 08/07/2010] [Accepted: 08/11/2010] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Among nine flavonols (1-9) obtained from Sophorae Flos, we first isolated compounds 4, 5, 8, and 9. These isolates (1-9) were evaluated for the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC. Administered at 10 μM, 9 possessed high potent activity. Compound 9 displayed a dose-dependent stimulation of glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cells, and this increase was obviously attenuated by compound C, an AMPK inhibitor. In addition, 9 also phosphorylated AMPK and its downstream substrate ACC in 3T3-L1 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Moreover, we discovered that compound C inhibits 9-stimulated ACC phosphorylation and motivated the 9-inhibited C/EBPα and PPARγ, and FAS gene expression, significantly. These results revealed the role of the AMPK downstream signaling pathway in 9-improved glucose metabolism in 3T3-L1 cells and 9-inhibited adipocyte differentiation. Differentiation was investigated by Oil Red O staining activity after 9 administration (0-20 μM) in 6 days. Compound 9 decreased mean droplet size in a dose-dependent manner. The results revealed that 9 blocked adipogenic conversion in 3T3-L1 cells together with several significant downregulating adipocyte-specific transcription factors, including PPARγ, C/EBPα, and SREBP1. It also reduced FAS gene expression in a dose-dependent manner, which is crucial for adipogenesis in vitro.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY There is greater consumer awareness of plant-based skin-care products. Sophora japonica L. (Fabaceae) has been used traditionally as a hemostatic agent and also has skin-care and whitening benefits. The effect of the isolated active compounds of Sophora japonica L. (Fabaceae) that inhibits tyrosinase activity in human epidermal melanocytes (HEMn) was examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory assay to isolate active constituents from the extracts. The structures of these constituents were characterized by physical and spectroscopic analyses. Cellular tyrosinase kinetics were analyzed and showed by Lineweaver-Burk plot. RESULTS A new compound, N-feruloyl-N'-cis-feruloyl-putrescine (8), together with four flavonoids and three putrescine derivatives were obtained after assay-guided isolation of S. japonica. In HEMn, compound 8 was minimally cytotoxic (cell viability >90% at 100 microM) and the IC(50) value for suppression of cellular tyrosinase activity was estimated as 85.0 microM. Zymography analysis demonstrated the compound's concentration-dependent effects and the kinetic analysis indicated the compound's mixed-inhibitory action. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that the new compound 8 is the most potent component of S. japonica yet discovered. Its pigment inhibition activity may be exploitable cosmetically.

Abstract
Aberrant carbohydrate expression frequently occurs in breast cancer and may endow cells with metastatic potential. Here we first studied the relationship between expression of Vicia villosa agglutinin (lectin) (VVA)-binding carbohydrates and aggressive breast cancer. We then investigated the molecular characteristics of these glycoproteins and compared them with those of glycoproteins recognized by the mouse anti-Tn monoclonal antibody (MAb) HB-Tn1. Histochemical studies of samples from 322 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma demonstrated that VVA-binding carbohydrate expression correlated with tumor stage, lymphatic invasion, and lymph node metastasis (p=0.0385, p=0.0019, and p=0.0430. respectively). Western blotting analysis of frozen materials from 39 cases, under denaturing and reducing conditions, revealed that the major cancer cell-specific VVA-binding proteins were molecules of about 30, 33, and >200 kDa. Cases expressing the approximately 33 kDa molecule had significant lymphatic invasion more frequently than did cases not expressing this molecule (p=0.0076). Binding of VVA to the approximately 30 and approximately 33 kDa molecules was completely lost by preincubation of VVA with 1 mM Tn antigen (N-acetylgalactosamine alpha1-O-serine). The VVA-binding molecules appeared to react with VU-3C6 anti-MUC1 MAb. Expression of HB-Tn1 in breast cancer cells showed significant correlation with expression of VVA-binding carbohydrate(s) (p<0.0001) but HB-Tn1 reactivity was not clearly related to breast cancer aggressiveness. Because anti-Tn MAbs bound to Tn antigen clusters, we concluded that atypical MUC1 bearing the noncluster form of Tn antigen is implicated in aggressive growth of primary breast cancer cells, particularly in lymphatic metastasis.

Abstract
Many reports have suggested a strong correlation between certain lectin-binding patterns and biological behavior in various tumors. To clarify a relationship between lectin-binding reactivity and survival of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (B-DLCL), 57 cases with B-DLCL were analyzed by lectin histochemistry and lectin blot method with or without treatment of neuraminidase or acidic hydrolytic conditions. B-DLCL cases were grouped into three types based on the data on lectin-binding reactivity under neuraminidase-treated or untreated conditions: (i) Group A (non-reactive type); (ii) Group B (sialylated type); and (iii) Group C (non-sialylated type). Among various lectins, Phaseolus vulgaris-L (L-PHA) binding reactivity showed that the survival of patients with Group A + B or Group B was significantly shorter than that of patients with Group C. Lectin blot analysis revealed failure of L-PHA-binding to 32 kd and 29 kd glycoproteins, which may be attributable to the masking of L-PHA-binding sites by sialylation or the lack of L-PHA-binding sites, leading to the short survival of patients with B-DLCL. L-PHA-binding reactivity may be a useful marker for the evaluation of survival of patients with B-DLCL.

Abstract
Sialic acid, as a terminal saccharide residue on cell surface glycoconjugates, plays an important role in a variety of biological processes. In this study, we investigated subclones of the human B lymphoma cell line BJA-B for differences in the glycosylation of cell surface glycoconjugates, and studied the functional implications of such differences. With respect to the expression level of most of the tested B cell-associated antigens, as well as the presence of penultimate saccharide moieties on oligosaccharide chains, subclones were phenotypically indistinguishable. Marked differences among subclones, however, were found in the overall level of glycoconjugate sialylation, involving both alpha-2,6 and alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid residues. Accordingly, subclones were classified as highly- (group I) or hyposialylated (group II). The function of two sialic acid-dependent receptor-mediated processes is correlated with the sialylation status of BJA-B subclones. Susceptibility to and binding of the B lymphotropic papovavirus (LPV) was dependent on a high sialylation status of host cells, suggesting that differential sialylation in BJA-B cells can modulate LPV infection via its alpha-2,6-sialylated glycoprotein receptor. CD95-mediated apoptosis, induced by either the human CD95 ligand or a cytotoxic anti-CD95 monoclonal antibody, was drastically enhanced in hyposialylated group II cells. An increase in endogenous sialylation may be one antiapoptotic mechanism that converts tumor cells to a more malignant phenotype. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that differential sialylation in a clonal cell line may regulate the function of virus and signal-transducing receptors.

Abstract
Modification of cell surface molecules with sialic acid is crucial for their function in many biological processes, including cell adhesion and signal transduction. Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase) is an enzyme that catalyzes an early, rate-limiting step in the sialic acid biosynthetic pathway. UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase was found to be a major determinant of cell surface sialylation in human hematopoietic cell lines and a critical regulator of the function of specific cell surface adhesion molecules.
