C-Type Lectins and Sialyl Lewis X Oligosaccharides
Carbohydrates are major components of the outer surface of mammalian cells and these carbohydrates are very often characteristic of cell-types and developmental stages (Feizi, 1985; Hakomori, 1985). One of such cell type–specific carbohydrates is sialyl Lewis X, NeuNAc a 2 → 3Gal b 1 → 4(Fuc a 1 → 3)GlcNAc → R. Sialyl Lewis X and Lewis X, Gal b 1 → 4(Fuc a 1 → 3)GlcNAc, were originally discover...
متن کاملSialyl Lewis X and neutrophil aggregation.
We read with great interest the report by Simon et all concerning the obligatory role of& integrin and L-selectin in neutrophil aggregation. Monoclonal antibodies against adhesion molecules (IB4anti CD18 and DREG 200-anti L-selectin) markedly decrease aggregation.’.’ Furthermore. neutrophils from LAD I patients (CD18 deficiency) do not aggregate unless mixed with control cells, validating the r...
متن کاملSelectin Ligands Sialyl-Lewis a and Sialyl-Lewis x in Gastrointestinal Cancers
The tetrasaccharide structures Siaα2,3Galβ1,3(Fucα1,4)GlcNAc and Siaα2,3Galβ1,4(Fucα1,3)GlcNAc constitute the epitopes of the carbohydrate antigens sialyl-Lewis a (sLea) and sialyl-Lewis x (sLex), respectively, and are the minimal requirement for selectin binding to their counter-receptors. Interaction of sLex expressed on the cell surface of leucocytes with E-selectin on endothelial cells allo...
متن کاملNatural killer cells attack tumor cells expressing high levels of sialyl Lewis x oligosaccharides.
Epithelial carcinoma and leukemia cells express sialyl Lewis x oligosaccharides as tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens. To determine the role of sialyl Lewis x oligosaccharides in tumor dissemination, human melanoma MeWo cells, which do not express sialyl Lewis x, were transfected with alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase III (FTIII), and cell lines expressing different amounts of sialyl Lewis x were...
متن کاملColorectal Cancer with Conventional Sialyl Lewis X Expression in Human Expression of Sialyl 6-Sulfo Lewis X Is Inversely Correlated
Sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant has been described recently as a major ligand for L-selectin on high endothelial venules of human peripheral lymph nodes. From our investigation of its distribution in human colorectal cancer tissues and cultured colon cancer cells, the sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant was preferentially expressed in the nonmalignant colonic epithelia rather than cancer cell...
