The attachment of endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) and endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) to peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) with and without inhibition of N- and O-linked glycosylation, the viability of EECs and ESCs, and the expression of CD44 surface density were evaluated. Inhibition of CD44 N- and O-linked glycosylation by using tunicamycin and/or B-GalNAc statistically significantly inhibited endometrial cell attachment to peritoneal mesothelial cells, suggesting a role in establishment of early endometriotic lesions.

Altered levels of intracellular protein glycosylation with O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) have emerged as being involved in various cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. OGA inhibitors have proven critically useful as tools to help understand the roles of O-GlcNAc, yet accessing large quantities of inhibitors necessary for many animal studies remains a challenge. Herein is described a scalable method to produce Thiamet-G, a potent, selective, and widely used brain-permeable OGA inhibitor.

Background: Consensus is that immunoglobulin IgG4 contains only N-linked glycosylation. The analysis of several batches of commercial biopharmaceutical product Dupixent using top-down intact mass spectrometry revealed that this IgG4 features a small amount of O-linked glycosylation in the Fab region. This is the first report of an O-linked glycosylation in an IgG4 antibody.

Background: O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is responsible for attaching O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to proteins, regulating diverse cellular processes ranging from transcription and translation to signaling and metabolism. This study focuses on the role and mechanisms of OGT in osteogenesis.
Materials And Methods: We found that OGT is downregulated in osteoporosis by bioinformatics analysis, determined its role in osteogenic differentiation by using OGT inhibitors (or OGA inhibitors) as well as conditional knockout OGT mice in and in , and explored and specific mechanisms by quantitative proteomic analysis and RNA-seq, qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence, H&E, ALP, ARS, Masson staining, IHC, micro CT, etc.

Progranulin (PGRN) is overexpressed and implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development; however, its post-translational modifications and regulatory mechanisms in HCC remain largely unexplored. Here, the expression levels of PGRN, OGT, and O-GlcNAcylation were found to be elevated in both HCC samples and cell lines. LC-MS/MS analysis and immunoprecipitation revealed that PGRN underwent O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification at threonine 272 (Thr272).

Background: The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is a toothless mammal that feeds mainly on termites and ants. Therefore, like other toothless mammals, this species has morphological and physiological adaptations of the salivary glands related to eating habits. Saliva is essential for the health of the oral cavity, chewing and lubrication of the mouth and it is constituted by an aqueous fluid containing electrolytes, enzymes, and glycoproteins which play an important role in modulating the oral microbiota.
