Anti-cancer activity of glucosamine through inhibition of N-linked glycosylation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Abstract We have reported that the glucosamine suppressed the proliferation of the human prostate carcinoma cell line DU145 through inhibition of STAT3 signaling. DU145 cells autonomously express IL-6 and the IL-6/STAT3 signaling is activated. IL-6 receptor subunits are subject to N-glycosylation, a posttranslational modification which is important for protein stability and function. We speculated that the inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation by glucosamine might be a functional consequence of the reduced N-glycosylation of gp130.

Gastrointestinal or cardiovascular complications limit nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) prescription. Glucosamine hydrochloride (GS-HCl) alternatively chosen, but debates still exist in its clinical efficiency. COX-2 instability through inhibiting COX-2 N-glycosylation of GS-HCl raised the possibility of NSAID sparing effect. Study was done to determine whether combination treatment...
متن کاملThe Relationship of Secretion and Activity of Recombinant Factor IX with N-Glycosylation
Background: Human coagulation factor IX (hFIX) is a glycoprotein with two N-glycosylation sites at the activation peptide. Since the activation peptide is removed in mature hFIX, the exact role of N-glycosylation is unclear. To investigate the role of N-glycosylation in the secretion and activity of hFIX, we inhibited N-glycosylation by tunicamycin in the stable Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK)- c...
متن کاملEffects of homoharringtonine on protein glycosylation in human bladder carcinoma cell T-24.
Rates of [3H]glucosamine and mannose incorporation into glycoproteins and dolichol-linked oligosaccharides in exponentially growing T-24 bladder cancer cells were examined after exposure to homoharringtonine (HHT). Two-h treatment of HHT (10 ng/ml) reduced [3H]glucosamine and mannose incorporation into the glycoproteins to 61% and 32% of controls. Concomitantly, respective sugar incorporation i...
متن کاملInhibition of N-linked glycosylation disrupts receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in tumor cells.
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) are therapeutic targets for the treatment of malignancy. However, tumor cells develop resistance to targeted therapies through the activation of parallel signaling cascades. Recent evidence has shown that redundant or compensatory survival signals responsible for resistance are initiated by nontargeted glycoprotein RTKs coexpressed by the cell. We hypothesized th...
