Polylactosamines Neu5Ac alpha2-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex and Neu5Ac alpha2-3'LNbeta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex [Lex, Gal beta1-4(Fuc alpha1-3)GlcNAc; LN, Gal beta1-4GlcNAc] decorate selectin counterreceptors in human HL-60 cells. Here, we show that HL-60 cell lysates catalyze distal alpha3-sialylation of LNbeta1-3'LNbeta1-3'LN and LNbeta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex efficiently, outlining two potential sets of biosynthetic pathways leading to the selectin ligands. In one set, alpha3-sialylation precedes internal fucosylation of the polylactosamine backbone, whereas in the other one, internal fucosylation is initiated before alpha3-sialylation. In contrast to alpha3-sialylation, LNbeta1-3'Lex beta1-3'Lex was alpha6-sialylated much less efficiently than LNbeta1-3'LNbeta1-3'LN by HL-60 cell lysates. Hence, internal fucosylation may regulate the extent of alpha6-sialylation of polylactosamines in these cells.

Development a glycosylated extracellular vesicle-derived miRNA Signature for early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the lack of non-invasive early detection tools, which significantly impacts patient prognosis. Given that glycosylation alterations especially high sialylation and fucosylation, frequently occur during cellular malignant transformation, but their roles are not elucidated. We examined alterations in disease-specific glycosylated extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived miRNAs in the serum of ESCC patients, evaluating their utility as diagnostic biomarkers.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are connective tissue autoimmune diseases. The present study aimed to check whether serum clusterin (CLU) concentration and its glycosylation pattern may be markers differentiating these diseases-blood sera of patients with PsA (n = 37), RA (n = 34), and healthy subjects (control, n = 21) were examined. CLU concentration was measured using the ELISA test.

Article Synopsis
- Thromboembolic complications in severe COVID-19 are linked to neutrophil-extracellular-trap (NET)-driven immunothrombosis, indicating a significant immune response issue.
- This study analyzes plasma IgA glycosylation during severe SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A infections, finding changes in glycan structures associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- The differences in IgA glycosylation patterns between COVID-19 and Influenza A suggest that these changes could influence immune responses and NET formation, highlighting the need for further exploration of IgA's role in infectious diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Hemodialysis patients respond differently to vaccines, exhibiting less antibody response and varied vaccine dosing, prompting a study on their antibody glycosylation profiles following vaccination and infection with SARS-CoV-2.
- The research involved analyzing plasma samples from 112 hemodialysis patients across four groups: control, infected, vaccinated, and those infected post-vaccination, along with examining samples before and after a booster dose.
- Results showed both vaccination and infection resulted in reduced fucosylation of IgG1 (indicating inflammation), while vaccination increased anti-inflammatory markers like galactosylation, highlighting the need to consider antibody glycosylation when assessing vaccine efficacy and development.

Article Synopsis
- * The stability of DELLA proteins is influenced by phytohormones and post-translational modifications like SUMO-conjugation and different forms of glycosylation, although the impact of phosphorylation on DELLA stability has been debated.
- * This study identifies specific phosphorylation sites on the DELLA protein RGA, revealing that these modifications enhance RGA's activity without affecting its interactions with transcription factors or its overall stability.
