    BIOLOGICAL ROLES OF GLYCANS - A LOOK BACK OVER THE DECADES

    Ajit Varki

    Glycobiology Research and Training Center, Departments of Medicine, and Cellular & Molecular

    Medicine, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA

    Both simple and complex glycans have long been known to play major metabolic,

    structural and biophysical roles in various biological systems. Pathogen and commensal

    recognition of host glycans has also been the subject of intense study for many

    decades. However such biological roles cannot fully explain the remarkable complexity

    and organismal diversity of glycan structures found in nature. Indeed, in systematically

    reviewing the subject just twenty years ago (Glycobiology 3:97-130, 1993), one had to

    search hard to find a few clear-cut instances of more specific biological roles of glycans

    that are of intrinsic value to the organism that synthesizes the glycans. In striking

    contrast there is now a wealth of examples to choose from. Thus, any current review of

    the biological roles of glycans cannot possibly be comprehensive. Instead, a historical

    overview will be presented, broad principles outlined and a few specific examples cited,

    representing biological roles of different kinds mediated by various classes of glycans,

    in different evolutionary taxa. What has remained unchanged since 1993 is the fact that

    while all of the theories regarding biological roles of glycans are supported by

  • 34

    compelling evidence, exceptions to every single one can also be found. In retrospect

    this is not too surprising. Complex and diverse glycans are now known to be ubiquitous

    to all living cells in nature, and essential to all life forms. Thus, it was inevitable that >3

    billion years of evolution selected these molecules for several key biological roles even

    while using them in other circumstances for relatively unimportant roles, or sometimes

    even expressing them for no obvious roles at all. In this respect glycans are no different

    from other classes of biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids.

    The question now to be addressed is, what biological roles do glycans not mediate?

    TOOLS FOR IDENTIFYING NEW HUMAN GLYCOSYLATION DISORDERS Hudson Freeze, Sanford-Burnham. Medical Research Institute, La Jolla CA

    Today there are nearly 100 human glycosylation disorders caused by mutations in

    genes serving one or more biosynthetic pathways. In 2013 alone, a new glycosylation

    disorder was reported on average every 11.7 days. That trend is likely to continue in the

    near future since at least 2% of the human genome encodes genes used for glycan

    biosynthesis and recognition. Additional unanticipated genes will certainly be identified

    that affect glycosylation pathways or alter glycan structure. Evidence of their importance

    will come from the discovery of patients who carry function-compromising mutations in

    these genes.

    This bonanza of discovery was fueled and enabled by a coalescence of genomic,

    biochemical and social media technologies that include all stakeholders: scientists,

    physicians, patients themselves, and their families.

    The falling costs and greater availability of exome and genome sequencing will soon

    make it an accessible diagnostic clinical test. Sophisticated data analysis programs filter

    and distill terabytes of sequencing data to a few candidate genes. The key word is

    candidate. Functional validation of putative mutations is needed to confirm the

    predictions of a mutations deleterious impact. The well-considered and sophisticated

    filters may sometimes inadvertently dismiss critical candidates. An example of such an

  • 35

    oversight is the identification of glycosylation disorder due to spontaneous mutations in

    4 patients resulting in somatic mosaicism. Standard exome analysis overlooked the

    defective gene, but routine analysis of a glycan-based biomarker, transferrin, provided

    the critical biochemical evidence early on that identified the gene. A combination of

    reliable biochemical tests and exome/genome sequencing is indispensible. It enabled

    us to identify 8 new glycosylation disorders from 50 patients who showed abnormal

    glycosylation. Moreover, incoming results of exome sequencing in patients for whom

    glycosylation markers were not analyzed deliver new glyco-candidates that can be

    validated by glycosylation analysis of serum, fibroblasts or lymphoblasts.

    Today, the highly motivated parents of children with unknown metabolic disorders scour

    the web and social networks on a daily search for leads and answers for their families.

    Our laboratories are but a click away from their questions and their cooperation. As new

    genes are discovered that reveal causes of the estimated 3500 unsolved genetic

    disorders, the basic scientist will lead the assault on functional analysis of these genes

    with support from an increasingly savvy group of web-wise families who are fully

    committed to solutions. This creates an opportunity to educate and strengthen the vital

    and expanding links between basic scientists, physicians and the voter/tax payer

    families. Solving glycosylation disorders provides a model of how to integrate and

    advance both medical and fundamental science to benefit afflicted families.

    BIOINGENIERIA APLICADA (NUCLEASAS CON DEDOS DE ZINC Y MODIFICACIONES DE GENOMAS EN SISTEMAS EUCARIOTICOS. MsC David Pierre Pillon. Sigma Aldrich de Mxico. [email protected]

    Las nucleasas con dedos de zinc (ZFN) son una clase de protenas de unin a ADN, derivadas de la bioingeniera, que facilitan la edicin especfica del genoma mediante la creacin de rupturas de la doble cadena del ADN en los lugares especificados por el usuario. Las rupturas de la doble cadena son importantes para la mutagnesis sitio-especfica que estimula los procesos naturales de reparacin del ADN de las clulas, es decir la recombinacin homloga y la unin de extremidades no homologas (NHEJ). La ingeniera genmica en clulas de mamfero presenta un enorme potencial para investigacin bsica, descubrimiento de medicamentos, as como para la produccin de medicamentos basados en tcnicas de cultivo celular. Para este fin, Sangamo Biosciences y Sigma-Aldrich se han asociado recientemente para desarrollar y proveer una nueva tecnologa que permite la edicin del genoma a travs del diseo de nucleasas con dedos de zinc (ZFN). Dentro de estas protenas quimricas, la especificidad de unin al ADN es determinada por la protena con dedos de zinc permitiendo definir el sitio de accin de la nucleasa. Tales Nucleasas (ZFN) son capaces de reconocer y unirse a un lugar especfico del genoma y provocar un corte preciso de la doble cadena del ADN con alta eficiencia y precisin. La clula entonces emplea los procesos naturales de reparacin del ADN, como son la "reparacin homologa dirigida (HDR)" o "unin de extremidades no homlogas (NHEJ)" para reparar de manera especfica el punto de ruptura. Estas dos vas proporcionan al investigador la capacidad de provocar tres opciones claras para editar genomas: correccin de genes, supresion de genes y la adicin dirigida de genes o secuencias de inters. Por otra parte, la velocidad y la eficiencia de este proceso nos permiten realizar knock-out (KO) en mltiples genes en la misma clula. El tener acceso a la ingeniera gentica facilita la creacin de lneas celulares y animales transgnicos para aplicaciones en investigacin biomdica, generando un nuevo campo de oportunidades para el desarrollo de nuevos frmacos, pero sobre todo la posibilidad de seguir el camino de la medicina personalizada.

    La espectrometra de masas (EM) es una tcnica analtica que se ha convertido en el eje central de la investigacin a nivel de protenas y biomolculas. La capacidad de identificar protenas y determinar su estructura primaria es fundamental para el estudio de los seres vivos, donde la secuencia de aminocidos comprueba la conexin entre protena y su gen codificante, va el cdigo gentico; mientras que el descubrimiento de sus modificaciones post-traduccionales hace evidente la relacin entre fisiologa celular y gentica. Los espectrmetros de masas existen desde 1900, miden la relacin masa/carga de las molculas. Sus componentes principales son: la fuente de ionizacin, el analizador de masas y el detector, que existen en varias versiones, la combinacin de estas partes es muy importante ya que repercute en la sensibilidad y exactitud de la medicin. A fines de los 80s se desarrollaron fuentes de ionizacin suave, que permitieron el anlisis de polmeros como las protenas, los cidos nucleicos y los carbohidratos. Los proteoglicanos (PG) son una clase especial de glicoprotenas altamente glicosiladas, formados por varios ncleos proteicos que se modifican post-traduccionalmente con polisacridos denominados glicosaminoglicanos (GAG), que a su vez son polmeros de carbohidratos lineares cargados negativamente. Dada su diversidad estructural los proteoglicanos realizan diferentes funciones tanto en la matriz extracelular como en la clula, y han sido involucrados en diferentes procesos celulares: interacciones clula-clula, clula-matriz, activacin de quimiocinas y citocinas, morfognesis de tejidos durante el desarrollo embrionario, migracin, proliferacin celular y en el reconocimiento de patgenos. Proteoglycomics se refiere al estudio de los proteoglicanos usando las herramientas del anlisis protemico. Las funciones individuales de los PG pueden ser atribuidas tanto al centro proteico como a las cadenas GAG, donde la determinacin de la estructura GAG es un reto analtico formidable debido a su complejidad estructural, su carga negativa, polidispersidad y microheterogeneidad.

    THE INTERACTION CH / PI, PROTEIN CARBOHYDRATE RECOGNITION BASE AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF CATALYSTS. Fabin Cutara Guadarrama and Gabriel Cuevas

Specific interactions between molecules, including those produced by a given solute, and the surrounding solvent are essential to drive molecular recognition processes. A simple molecule such as benzene is capable of recognizing and differentiating among very similar entities, such as methyl 2,3,4,6- tetra-O-methyl--D-galactopyranoside ( -Me5Gal), methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methy--D-galactopyranoside (-Me5Gal), 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-acetyl- -D-galactopyranose (-Ac5Gal), and methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl- -D- mannopyranoside (-Me5Man). In order to determine if these complexes are formed, the interaction energy between benzene and the different carbohydrates was determined, using Calvet microcalorimetry, as the enthalpy of solvation. These enthalpy values were -89.0 ( 2.0, -88.7 ( 5.5, -132.5 ( 6.2, and -78.8 (3.9 kJ mol-1 for the four complexes, respectively. Characterization of the different complexes was completed by establishing the molecular region where the interaction takes place using NMR. It was determined that -Me5Gal is stabilized by the CH/ interaction produced by the nonpolar region of the carbohydrate on the face. In contrast, -Me5Man is not specifically solvated by benzene and does not present any stacking interaction. Although -Me5Gal has a geometry similar to that of its epimer, the obtained NMR data seem to indicate that the axial methoxy group at the anomeric position increases the distance of the benzene molecules from the pyranose ring. Substitution of the methoxy groups by acetate moieties, as in -Ac5Gal, precludes the approach of benzene to produce the CH/ interaction. In fact, the elevated stabilization energy of -Ac5Gal is probably due to the interaction between benzene and the methyl groups of the acetyls. Therefore, methoxy and acetyl substituents have different effects on the protons of the pyranose ring. With these data on hand it is possible to establish that benzene can recognize galactose and this property can be combined with the catalytical properties of phenylpyridone to promote esther aminolysis reactions. Both effects can be used to generate a molecule that recognizes a region of galactose and transforms an acetyl group. The substrate requires the incorporation of an acetyl group in the anomeric position and introduces methyl groups to eliminate the formation of hydrogen bonds which are dominant when compared with the CH/ interaction. The molecule was modeled using computational methods at the M05-2x/6-31+G(d,p) level; and was synthesized using a procedure that needs 3 steps and renders an 83% yield. The substitution of the phenyl group with a cyclohexane slows down the hydrolysis from 0.039 0.005 l2mol-2hr-1 to 0.028 0.003. The homologation of the chain gives a rate of hydrolysis of 0.028 0.003. NMR was used to demonstrate the interaction between the catalyzers phenyl group and galactose protons at positions 3, 4 and 5. The results show that CH/ interactions participate in the recognition processes between carbohydrates and aromatic groups of certain amino acids. This contribution adds to the existing evidence of the usefulness of such interactions. This can be used to develop organocatalyzers that can contribute to streamline diverse chemical processes.

    GLYCOBIOLOGY IN SKELETAL DYSPLASIA DUE TO CONGENITAL DISORDERS OF GLYCOSYLATION (CDG) Carla G Asteggiano (PhD) Investigadora Adjunta CONICET (Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientficas y Tcnicas), Argentina.

    Glycosylation diseases are due to defects in different pathways, in protein glycosylation

    and, recently defects in glycolipid have been identified as well. Congenital Disorders of

    Glycosylation (CDG) are rapidly growing genetic pathologies with more than 50 genes

    reported since 1980, the first clinical description by Prof. Jaak Jaeken. Defects have

    been identified in N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation pathways and combined N- and

    O-glycosylation types of CDG. The clinical manifestations can affect nearly all organs

    and systems or could be restricted to a specific tissue such as the cartilage in multiple

    osteochondromatosis (MO or EXT1/EXT2-CDG). An important neurological component

    is often reported but a peculiar skeletal phenotype has been described in CDG patients,

    gaining special relevance over the past few years. In patients exposed to the cell

    hypoglycosylation due to altered glycosylation pathway, numerous extracellular matrix

    proteins undergo glycosylation defects that lead to skeletal manifestations.

    During the last eight years, we have focused on CDG and we detected altered N-

    glycosylation (2 PMM2-CDG and 4 CDG-IIx patients) and O-glycosylation (33

    EXT1/EXT2-CDG patients) subtypes. Most of CDG are autosomal recessive, but

    EXT1/EXT2-CDG was described as a dominant disease. It is characterized by short

    stature and development of benign bone tumors during childhood and adolescence. It is

    based on heterozygous mutations in EXT1 or EXT2, two genes that codified

    glycosyltransferases required for the synthesis of heparin sulfate proteoglycans

    (HSPGs). This special pathology and other with a severe skeletal phenotype have

    called our interest: O-glycosylation defects as GALNT3-CDG (Hyperfosfatemic Tumoral

    Calcinosis); LFNG-CDG (Spondylocostal Dysostosis); SLC35D1-CDG

    (Schneckenbecken Dysplasia); B4GALT7-CDG (Progeroid Variant of Ehlers Danlos)

    and B3GALTL-CDG (Peter-Plus Syndrome). In these pathologies skeletal

    manifestations as osteopaenia, rib cage abnormalities, short stature, kyphosis and

    scoliosis are the most common manifestations. Molecules dependent on post-

    translational modification processes such as glycosylation may play specific functions in

    bone mineralization and in the endochondral growth plate. The glycosaminoglycans

    heparan sulfate (HS), are usually found in the cell surface and extracellular matrix as

    HSPG. They play an integral role in the structural integrity of various tissues, in ligand

    binding, cell adhesion and cell signaling during endochondral ossification, process

    regulated by growth factors that bind to HS chains.

    Different reports postulated that it is very probable that not only hypoglycosylation but

    also gain-of-glycosylation may cause skeletal phenotypes. Our results highlight the

    hypoglycosylation effect on the genesis of skeletal manifestation in CDG patients,

    suggesting that the process of glycosylation is also important in proteins implicated in

    the development of cartilage and bone. In conclusion, it is strongly recommended to

    search CDG diseases in any unexplained skeletal dysplasia. PICT2010/2824-UCC

    The cell wall of the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans -

    glucans and glycoproteins, which are enriched with N-linked and O-linked mannans.

    Protein mannosylation starts in the endoplasmic reticulum and finalizes in the Golgi

    complex, where mannosyltransferases further modify the mannans. The study of

    glycosylation pathways in C. albicans has allowed assessing the importance of these

    protein modifications for fungal virulence and interaction with the host immune system.

    We have generated a collection of mutant cells lacking key steps in N-linked

    mannosylation processes and have found that disruption of both N-linked mannan core

    trimming and outer chain extension, are required for virulence, proper cell wall

    composition, dimorphism, and interaction with components of the immune system;

    though the disruption of N-linked mannosylation pathway led to increased virulence in

    C. glabrata. Over the last years, we have focused to the study of two

    mannosyltransferase gene families: MNT1 and MNN4. Using genetic and biochemical

    approaches we have found that the members of the MNT1 gene family have redundant

    roles in the biosynthesis of phosphomannan, N-linked and O-linked mannans. In

    addition, the encoded enzyme activities are required for a proper cell wall structure,

    virulence and immune sensing. Members of the MNN4 gene family encode both

    phosphomannosyltransferases and positive regulators of such enzyme activity, and

    together with members of the MNT1 gene family participate in elaboration of

    phosphomannan, a cell wall component required for phagocytosis and the effect of

    antimicrobial peptides.

    Hemagglutinin (HA) is the main antigen of influenza virus. Antibodies against HA block viral infection. Recombinant HA is an efficient vaccine against influenza virus infection. In this work, we investigated the role of N-glycosylation of HA in its susceptibility to aggregation. HA was produced in the insect cell-baculovirus system, purified and deglycosylated with Endo-H. Deglycosylated HA aggregated when exposed for 10 min to temperatures above 45C. In contrast, glycosylated HA only aggregated at temperatures above 55C. Glycosylated and deglycosylated HA were more stable at pH 6.8, but while few aggregates were observed in glycosylated HA, 20 % of deglycosylated HA was aggregated. Changing the pH between 3 and 8 resulted in different extents of aggregation, ranging from 2 to 18% in glycosylated HA and from 18 to 50% in deglycosylated HA. The kinetics of aggregation caused by temperature or pH were different. Aggregation caused by temperature followed an exponential increase with time, indicating a cooperative aggregation. No difference in the aggregation rates at the temperatures tested was observed. Aggregation caused by pH followed kinetics independent of the aggregate concentration, and higher aggregation rates were observed as pH decreased. Finally, the immunogenicity of glycosylated and deglycosylated HA was measured in mice. It was found that immunizing with deglycosylated HA resulted in IgG titers 20 times higher than those obtained when glycosylated HA was used. It was demonstrated that N-glycosylation of HA determines protein stability and immunogenicity. DEVELOPMENT OF Streptococcus pneumoniae CONJUGATE VACCINE WITH

    The development of a conjugate vaccine against multiple serotypes of S. pneumonia is

    a complex task with numerous challenges. Several years ago, the Center for

    Biomolecular Chemistry launched a research project for developing a heptavalent

    vaccine containing the seven serotypes of S. pneumoniae more frequently associated

    with infection in Cuba and Latin America. As a result we were able to design a

    candidate vaccine containing 2g of each capsular polysaccharide 1, 5, 14, 18C, 19F

    and 23F as well 4g for 6B - all of them conjugated to tetanus toxoid- and aluminum

    phosphate as adjuvant. After several years of research and development, the

    technology was established for the production of the seven active pharmaceutical

    ingredients and of the combined vaccine. Several batches have been produced with the

    aim to assess their physico-chemical properties and to perform the preclinical and

    toxicological studies, guaranteed by a Quality Assurance System1. Last year, the first

    clinical trial was conducted, demonstrating the safety and immunogenicity of vaccine in

    healthy young. Presently, we are beginning the clinical trials in infants, with focus on

    Phase I and Phase II no inferiority; thus paving the way toward first Latin-American

    custom-designed conjugate vaccine against S. pneumoniae.

    Bacterial metabolic engineering has emerged as a powerful method for large scale

    synthesis of oligosaccharides. Glycosylation reactions are performed by whole cells

    overexpressing the genes encoding the appropriate glycosyltransferases and sugar-

    nucleotide biosynthesis. Combinations of engineered strains carrying several plasmids

    allow producing a great variety of mammal carbohydrate structures. Furthermore,

    chemical modifications can be carried out before or after the bacterial cultures, thus

    allowing obtaining chemically modified oligosaccharides. Those chemical modifications

    can be used either to ease chemical couplings or to modify the biological properties of

    carbohydrates. An overview of the technology and suitable examples will be presented

    FUNCTIONS PLAYED BY O-GlcNACYLATION

    Tony Lefebvre, Professor, Lille 1 University, CNRS/UMR 8576, Unit of Structural and Functional

    Glycobiology, Villeneuve d'Ascq, FRANCE

    Post-translational modifications (PTM) regulate protein functions by promoting or

    preventing protein-protein interactions (theory of "one partner-one function"). The

    modification therefore re-localizes the protein, impacts on its expression or regulates

    enzyme activity as shown recently for PFK1. Glycosylations is a large family of PTM

    that includes O-GlcNAcylation maybe the simplest one at the structural point of view.

    O-GlcNAcylation consists in the reversible addition of a single N-acetylglucosamine to

    the hydroxyl groups of serine and threonine of cytosolic and nuclear proteins. O-

    GlcNAcylation processes are managed by a unique couple of enzymes namely O-

    GlcNAc transferase (OGT) responsible for the transfer of the GlcNAc moiety and O-

    GlcNAcase (OGA) that reverses the reaction. Despite appearances, O-GlcNAcylation

    hides a very complex regulation mode such as phosphorylation with which besides O-

  • 45

    GlcNAcylation could either competes or acts in concert. In this way, O-GlcNAcylation is

    part of signaling pathways which control the level of the glycosylation and in turn O-

    GlcNAcylation interferes with the regulation of the PI3K and MAPK pathways. More

    especially, in response to insulin OGT is targeted to lipid microdomains in a PI3K-

    dependent manner. O-GlcNAcylation levels intimately correlate with the nutritional

    status of the cell due to the nature of the nucleotide-sugar, UDP-GlcNAc, from which it

    comes from. Therefore O-GlcNAcylation relays nutrient and energy status to cell

    homeostasis. A -catenin O-GlcNAcylation, which

    reduces its proteasomal susceptibility, is responsible for epithelial tumorigenesis. This

    explains partly why patients suffering diabetes and obesity are more inclined to develop

    colorectal cancers. In another set of studies, we showed that O-GlcNAcylation is crucial

    for cell cycle progression. OGT is required for quiescent cells to reach the G0/G1

    transition and for Xenopus laevis oocytes to mature in a process similar to G2/M

    transition. On the contrary, OGA activity correlates with G1/S transition. On a

    transcriptional point of view, it has been recently show by several groups that OGT

    cooperates with TET proteins to remodel chromatin, a process needed for gene

    expression. The focus of this talk is to give precise examples in which OGT and O-

    GlcNAcylation are pivotal elements for cell fundamental processes.

    NOVEL REGULATION OF POSTTRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS IN THE GOLGI APPARATUS: FROM BASIC SCIENCE TO DESEASES. Carlos B. Hirschberg, Boston University, Boston, MA, USA.

    Nucleotide sugars are transported by specific transporters from the cytosol, their site of

    synthesis, into the lumen of the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, where they

    serve as substrates for glycosylation reactions. These transporters play critical roles in

    glycosylation of proteins, lipids and proteoglycans, which are essential for

    organogenesis, development, mammalian cellular immunity and pathogenicity of human

    pathogenic agents. Given their essential roles it is not surprising that these transporters

    have been identified in all eukaryotes examined so far. The biochemical characteristics

    and biological significance of these transporters have been demonstrated in mammals,

  • 46

    Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, yeast fungi, Leishmania, Entamoeba

    and recently Trypanosoma brucei and Toxoplasma gondii .Importantly, mutations in

    these transporters, result in human diseases such as Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency II

    and Schneckenbecken dysplasia and well as Complex Vertebral Malformation in

    bovines.

    Over the past years, numerous biochemical studies have demonstrated that

    glycoconjugates were deficient in the particular sugar for which the corresponding

    nucleotide sugar transport was defective. However, our recent studies of silencing

    nucleotide sugar transporter genes of mammalian cells showed a more global defect in

    the synthesis and secretion of not only glycoproteins but also in non glycoproteins. The

    latter is probably the result of endoplasmic reticulum stress induction and protein

    translation inhibition and may explain some of the diversity of symptoms in mammalian

    diseases caused by transporter mutations. Further in depth studies of transporter

    structures, functions and their regulation of glycosylation in mammals should lead to a

    better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the above diseases and

    facilitate the discovery of appropriate therapies.

    Nucleotide sugars are the substrates for glycosyltransferases located in the ER and the

    Golgi apparatus. Most of them are synthesized in the cytosol, therefore they are

    incorporated into the lumen of these organelles by nucleotide sugar transporters

    (NSTs). The NSTs are a large gene family composed by around 50 members in

    Arabidopsis thaliana. We have found two UDP-glucose transporters (UTr1 and Utr3),

    located in the ER. Both genes are targets of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and

    mutants on each of them trigger UPR. Double mutants are not viable. Our data suggest

  • 47

    that these NSTs are supplying the substrate for UGGT, the glucosyltransferase that

    recognize unfolded proteins in the ER. This is an enzyme we have detected in

    Arabidopsis and the analysis of different mutant alleles shows that these plants are

    smaller and sensitive to different stress.

    The human ortholog of Utr1 and Utr3 is HuGTRel1. We have tested the activity of this

    protein and found that transport UDP-glucose. This gene also responds to UPR. All

    these results support the hypothesis that transport of UDP-glucose is an important

    process in the folding of glycoproteins in the ER.

    O-GlcNACYLATION, DIABETES AND CANCER

    Dr. Tarik Issad. INSERM U1016, CNRS UR 8104, Institut Cochin, Paris, France. E-mail:

    O-GlcNAc glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) corresponds to the addition of N-

    acetylglucosamine on serine and threonine residues of cytosolic and nuclear proteins.

    O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic post-translational modification, analogous to

    phosphorylation, that regulates the stability, activity or subcellular localisation of target

    proteins. This reversible modification depends on the availability of glucose and

    therefore constitutes a powerful mechanism by which cellular activities are regulated

    according to the nutritional environment of the cell. O-GlcNAcylation has been

    implicated in important human pathologies including Alzheimer disease, type-2 diabetes

    and cancer. Only two enzymes, OGT and O-GlcNAcase, control the O-GlcNAc level on

    proteins. Therefore, O-GlcNAcylation cannot organize in signalling cascades as

    observed for phosphorylation. O-GlcNAcylation should rather be considered as a

    rheostat that controls the intensity of the signals travelling through different pathways

    according to the nutritional status of the cell.

  • 48

    Several lines of evidence indicate that O-GlcNAcylation could contribute to the

    glucotoxicity phenomenon in diabetic patients, in which hyperglycemia induces

    alterations that result in worsening of the glycemia.

    Excessive production of glucose by the liver is a major cause of fasting hyperglycemia

    in type 2 diabetes. We previously showed that O-GlcNAcylation of FoxO1 in liver cells

    stimulated its transcriptional activity and increased the expression of genes involved in

    hepatic glucose production, suggesting a potential role of FoxO1 O-GlcNAcylation in

    glucotoxicity.

    FoxO1 also plays a major role in the regulation of pancreatic -cell physiology. We

    observed that increased O-GlcNAcylation of FoxO1 in pancreatic -cells stimulated its

    transcriptional activity towards Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 gene (Igfbp1),

    resulting in increased expression and secretion of IGFBP1. Increased IGFBP1 secretion

    inhibited IGF1/IGF1R signalling pathway, and reduced the activity of the Phosphatidyl-

    Inositol-3-Phosphate Kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) pathway. We therefore propose a novel

    glucotoxicity mechanism in which O-GlcNAcylation of FoxO1, through increased

    IGFBP1 production, negatively regulates the PI3K/Akt signalling in -cells.

    Numerous epidemiological studies indicate that obesity or diabetic conditions increase

    the risk of cancer. Recent evidences suggested that O-GlcNAcylation may affect the

    growth of cancer cells. However, the consequences of O-GlcNAcylation on anti-cancer

    therapy had not been evaluated. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women.

    Anti-estrogen therapies (e.g., tamoxifen) have permitted important progress for the

    treatment of hormone-sensitive breast cancers. However, the development of treatment

    resistance constitutes an important limitation to these therapies. We recently studied the

    effect of O-GlcNAcyaltion on tamoxifen-induced MCF-7 breast cancer derived cells. We

    observed that treatments that increase O-GlcNAcyaltion markedly inhibit tamoxifen-

    induced MCF-7 cell death, suggesting that targeting this pathway could constitute an

    interesting strategy for the treatment of tamoxifen-resistant tumours.

    GALECTINS IN HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS AND CANCER: STRUCTURAL

    AND FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS

    Dr. Gerardo VASTA . University of Maryland,Baltimore, EUA.

    Medicine, Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology, Baltimore, Maryland, USA

    Galectins are characterized by their binding affinity for -galactosides, a unique binding

    site sequence motif, and wide taxonomic distribution and structural conservation in

    vertebrates, invertebrates, protista, and fungi. Since their initial description, galectins

    were considered to bind endogenous (self) glycans and mediate developmental

    processes, including cell differentiation and tissue organization or regeneration. In the

    past few years, however, numerous studies have described the diverse regulatory

    effects of galectins on immune homeostasis and cancer. More recently, however,

    evidence has accumulated to support the notion that galectins also bind exogenous

    (non-self) glycans on the surface of potentially pathogenic microbes, parasites, and

    fungi, suggesting that galectins could function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).

    According to the currently accepted model for non-self recognition, PRRs recognize

    pathogens via highly conserved microbial surface molecules of wide distribution such as

    LPS or peptidoglycan (microbe-associated molecular patterns; MAMPs), which are

    absent in the host. Galectins, however, can bind similar self/non-self molecular patterns

    on host and microbial cells. Furthermore, although some galectins can bind and kill

    bacteria, thereby displaying activity as innate immune recognition and effector factors, it

    appears that in most cases galectin-mediated recognition favors the potential pathogen

  • 50

    rather than the host. Therefore, some galectins do not fit the definition of PRRs,

    underscoring the significant gaps in our knowledge about the structural and functional

    diversity, subcellular targeting, localization, and secretion of the galectin repertoire

    components in any given species, and the host-parasite co-evolutionary processes that

    have resulted in such interactions (Supported by Grant 5R01GM070589 from NIH, and

    IOS 1050518, IOB- 0618409 and IOS0822257 from NSF).

    A ROLE FOR GALECTIN-GLYCAN INTERACTIONS: LINKING TUMOR

    NEOVASCULARIZATION AND IMMUNITY

    (IBYME/ CONICET). E-mail: [email protected]

    Recent efforts towards decoding the glycan signature of immune cells have revealed

    dramatic changes in N- and O-glycan structures during immune cell maturation,

    activation and differentiation. The responsibility of deciphering these glycosylation

    changes is assigned in part to endogenous lectins which expression is dynamically

    regulated during chronic inflammatory responses. We will discuss recent findings from

    our laboratory demonstrating the contribution of glycosylation-dependent mechanisms

    and galectin-glycan interactions to the regulation of a broad range of immunological and

    vascular programs, including: T and B cell survival, dendritic cell fate, microglia

    activation and endothelial cell signaling. These mechanisms, which could be usurped by

    tumors to evade and thwart immune responses, have been proposed to shift the

    balance of immune responses and control immune cell tolerance, inflammation and

    angiogenesis.

    "O-GlcNACYLATION : A NOVEL REGULATOR OF CELL SIGNALING AND CELL

    CYCLE.

    Dra. Vannesa Dehenaut. Institut de Biologie de Lille, Universit de Lille Nord de France

    In response to mitogenic signals, quiescent cells (G0 arrested) enter and progress

    through the four phases of the cell cycle: G1, S (DNA replication), G2 and M (Mitosis)

    to produce two daughter cells genetically identical. Cell cycle is highly controlled by

    numerous factors especially at the G1/S and G2/M boundaries to ensure that DNA is

    not damaged and correctly replicated: loss of control is one of the major causes of

    cancer.

    For a few years, beside phosphorylation, O-GlcNAcylation has emerged as a new key

    regulator of cell cycle. O-GlcNAcylation, standing for O-linked N-

    acetylglucosaminylation is an abundant and reversible post-translational modification

    confined within the nucleus and the cytosol of eukaryotes. This glycosylation, often

    compared to phosphorylation with which it can compete, is regulated by a unique

    couple of enzymes, the O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and the O-GlcNAcase (OGA)

    which catalyse respectively the transfer and the hydrolysis of the sugar moiety.

    First, our works have focused on the study of O-GlcNAcylation implication in the

    control of Xenopus laevis oocyte meiotic resumption, a process analogous to the G2/M

    transition of the cell cycle of somatic cells. This G2/M transition is characterized by the

    simultaneous activation of the MPF (M-phase Promoting Factor), the universal

    regulator of the M-Phase entry and of the MAPK Erk2 pathway. We demonstrated the

    existence of a rise in oocyte O-GlcNAcylation at the G2/M transition [1] that was

    essential to this process since inhibition of OGT prevented the activation of the MPF

    and of the MAPK pathway [2]. Then we studied the variations of O-GlcNAcylation

    occurring during the cell cycle of synchronised somatic cells and again we observed an

    increase in O-GlcNAcylation at the G2/M transition whereas we demonstrated a

    decrease of these glycosylation at the G1/S boundary correlated with an increased

    OGA activity [3]. Moreover, we recently proved that serum stimulated cell cycle entry

    promoted the synthesis of OGT and that the enzyme was necessary to the G0/G1

    transition since its down-regulation by RNA interference prevented the activation of the

  • 52

    PI3K/Akt and of the MAP kinase pathways and led to a decrease in cyclin D1

    expression [4].

    By a combination of several approaches (proteomics, immunoprecipitation and Click-

    chemistry), we were able to identify 24 functionally different O-GlcNAcylated proteins in

    matured (M-phase) oocytes among which the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)

    and the MAPK Erk2 [5]. We also identified 58 proteins differentially O-GlcNAcylated at

    the G1/S boundary including several components of the MCM 2-7 complex that take

    parts in the regulation of DNA replication [3]. Finally, preliminary results showed that

    cyclin D1, a central regulator of the G1 phase is O-GlcNACylated. Taken together our

    results demonstrate that O-GlcNAcylation dynamic is essential for the good progress of

    the cell cycle at all steps since it modifies master regulators of this process.

    HUMAN SIGLEC-9 BINDING TO HYALURONIC ACID DAMPENS NEUTROPHIL ACTIVATION AND IS SUBVERTED BY THE INVASIVE BACTERIAL PATHOGEN GROUP A Streptococcus Dr. Ismael SECUNDINO. University of California, San Diego, EUA Sialic acid-binding Ig-Like Lectins (Siglecs) are immunoregulatory receptors on

    leukocytes. A number of CD33-related human Siglecs (CD33rSiglecs) possess

    intracellular inhibitory domains (ITIMs) that act to blunt activatory signaling

    cascades. Siglec-9, abundantly expressed on human neutrophils, is known to engage

    terminal sialic acid residues on cell surface glycoconjugates, to limit baseline neutrophil

    activation. We previously described how the neonatal pathogen group B Streptococcus

    (GBS) expresses a sialylated exopolysaccharide capsule that can engage Siglec-9 to

    blunt neutron phil bactericidal responses and promote its own survival. Recently, in

    screening the lectin repertoire of human Siglec-9, we made the unexpected discovery

    that Siglec-9 strongly and specifically binds to high molecular weigh hyaluronic acid

    (HMW-HA), through a region of its V-set domain distinct from the sialic acid-binding

    domain. HA engagement by Siglec-9 limits neutrophil activation phenomenon including

    oxidative burst, proinflammatory cytokine release and elaboration of DNA-based

  • 53

    extracellular traps (NETs), suggesting HA represents an important "self-associated

    molecular pattern". The leading human pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS)

    possesses a capsule composed of HA indistinguishable from the host

    polysaccharide. GAS HA is strongly upregulated in the shift of GAS from localized to

    invasive bloodstream infection, and is known to promote bacterial resistance to

    neutrophil and antimicrobial peptide killing. Using WT and isogenic GAS capsule-

    deficient mutants, we show the pathogen can engage neutrophils and inhibit oxidative

    burst and NET formation in a Siglec-9- and HA-dependent manner, promoting its own

    survival. Thus, a single immunoregulatory lectin receptor on human neutrophils binds to

    two different ubiquitous glycans and is subverted through molecular mimicry by two

    different leading human pathogens.
