Effect of glycosylation on MUC1 humoral immune recognition: NMR studies of MUC1 glycopeptide-antibody interactions.
MUC1 mucin is a large transmembrane glycoprotein, of which the extracellular domain is formed by a repeating 20 amino acid sequence, GVTSAPDTRPAPGSTAPPAH. In normal breast epithelial cells, the extracellular domain is densely covered with highly branched complex carbohydrate structures. However, in neoplastic breast tissue, the extracellular domain is underglycosylated, resulting in the exposur...
متن کاملImmunological Evaluation of Recent MUC1 Glycopeptide Cancer Vaccines
Aberrantly glycosylated mucin 1 (MUC1) is a recognized tumor-specific antigen on epithelial cell tumors. A wide variety of MUC1 glycopeptide anti-cancer vaccines have been formulated by many research groups. Some researchers have used MUC1 alone as an immunogen whereas other groups used different antigenic carrier proteins such as bovine serum albumin or keyhole limpet hemocyanin for conjugatio...
متن کاملSynthesis of tumor-associated MUC1-glycopeptides and their multivalent presentation by functionalized gold colloids.
The mucin MUC1 is a glycoprotein involved in fundamental biological processes, which can be found over-expressed and with a distinctly altered glycan pattern on epithelial tumor cells; thus it is a promising target structure in the quest for effective carbohydrate-based cancer vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Natural glycopeptide antigens indicate only a low immunogenicity and a T-cell independ...
متن کاملTumor-associated MUC1 glycopeptide epitopes are not subject to self-tolerance and improve responses to MUC1 peptide epitopes in MUC1 transgenic mice.
Human adenocarcinomas overexpress a hypoglycosylated, tumor-associated form of the mucin-like glycoprotein MUC1 containing abnormal mono- and disaccharide antigens, such as Tn, sialyl-Tn, and TF, as well as stretches of unglycosylated protein backbone in the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region. Both peptide and glycopeptide epitopes generated from the VNTR are candidates for cancer ...
متن کاملCancer biomarkers defined by autoantibody signatures to aberrant O-glycopeptide epitopes.
Autoantibodies to cancer antigens hold promise as biomarkers for early detection of cancer. Proteins that are aberrantly processed in cancer cells are likely to present autoantibody targets. The extracellular mucin MUC1 is overexpressed and aberrantly glycosylated in many cancers; thus, we evaluated whether autoantibodies generated to aberrant O-glycoforms of MUC1 might serve as sensitive diagn...
