Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation form a rapidly growing group of inherited metabolic diseases. As glycosylation affects proteins all over the organism, a mutation in a single gene leads to a multisystemic disorder. We describe a patient with TMEM165-CDG with facial dysmorphism, nephrotic syndrome, cardiac defects, enlarged cerebral ventricles, feeding problems, and neurological involvement. Having confirmed the diagnosis via prenatal diagnostics, we were able to observe the glycosylation right from birth, finding a pathological pattern already on the first day of life. Within the next few weeks, hypoglycosylation progressed to less sialylated and then also to hypogalactosylated isoforms. On the whole, there has not been much published evidence concerning postnatal glycosylation and its adaptational process. This is the first paper reporting changes in glycosylation patterns over the first postnatal weeks in TMEM165-CDG.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α and PPARγ participate in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Few studies have simultaneously investigated both PPARα and PPARγ in lung cancers in vivo. The roles of PPARα and -γ were investigated in the development of pulmonary tumors induced in the adult A/J mouse by treatment with 4-(methylnitrosamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-lbutanone (NNK). Compared with the normal lung tissues, PPARγ expression was much higher in the NNK-induced lung tumor tissues. However, PPARγ transcriptional activity, and the levels of two major endogenous PPARγ ligands, 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, were significantly lower in the NNK-treated lung tissues. The ligand changes in mice were confirmed in human lung cancer tissues. Along with the alteration of PPARγ and its endogenous ligands, the level of PPARα and its activity were increased in the NNK-induced mouse lung tumors. Treatment of mice with the synthetic PPARγ ligand, pioglitazone, significantly inhibited the formation of mouse lung tumors induced by NNK. Our study demonstrated that the reduction of endogenous PPARγ ligands and increased PPARα occurred before the formation of lung tumors, indicating that the molecular changes play a role in lung carcinogenesis. The results suggest that the enhancement of PPARγ activity with its ligands, and the suppression of PPARα with its inhibitors, may prevent the formation of lung tumors, as well as accelerate the therapy of lung cancer. Our findings may also reveal the possibility of using the level of endogenous PPARγ ligands and the activities of PPARγ or PPARα as tumor markers for lung cancer.

Abstract
In this study we identified a novel galactosyltransferase 1-associating protein (GTAP) by cDNA cloning from a murine embryonic cDNA library using the two-hybrid yeast system. GTAP is expressed in early embryonic tissues, as well as in adult tissues with active cell turnover, and belongs to the class III ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzyme family. Its COOH-terminal domain contains a consensus sequence for ubiquitin binding shared by all the ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, whereas its NH(2)-terminal domain appears critical for the binding and internalization of cell surface galactosyltransferase 1 (GalT1) in embryonic stem cells through a monensin- and MG132-dependent pathway. We have found that GTAP regulates GalT1-associated, laminin-dependent embryonic cell adhesion and the formation of embryoid bodies. Thus, GTAP functions as an evolutionarily conserved E2 enzyme, which may participate in intercellular adhesion and embryonic development. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

Abstract
Congenital disorder of glycosylation type Id is an inherited glycosylation disorder based on a defect of the first mannosyltransferase involved in N-glycan biosynthesis inside the endoplasmic reticulum. Only one patient with this disease has been described until now. In this article, a second patient and an affected fetus are described. The patient showed abnormal glycosylation of several plasma proteins as demonstrated by isoelectric focusing and Western blot. Lipid-linked oligosaccharides in the endoplasmic reticulum, reflecting early N-glycan assembly, revealed an accumulation of immature Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-glycans in fibroblasts of the patient. Chorion cells of the affected fetus showed the same characteristic lipid-linked oligosaccharides pattern. However, the fetus had a normal glycosylation of several plasma proteins. Some fetal glycoproteins are known to be derived from the mother, but even glycoproteins that do not cross the placenta were normally glycosylated in the affected fetus. Maternal or placental factors that partially compensate for the glycosylation defect in the fetal stage must be proposed and may be relevant for the therapy of these disorders in the future.
