The chicken β-galactoside α2,3-sialyltransferase 1, 2, and 5 (ST3Gal1, 2, and 5) genes were cloned, and their enzymes were expressed in 293FT cells. ST3Gal1 and 2 exhibited enzymatic activities toward galactose-β1,3-N-acetylgalactosamine and galactose-β1,3-N-acetylglucosamine. ST3Gal5 only exhibited activity toward lactosylceramide. ST3Gal1 and 2 and previously cloned ST3Gal3 and 6 transferred CMP-sialic acid to asialofetuin. Reverse-transcription-quantitative PCR indicated that ST3Gal1 was expressed at higher levels in the trachea, lung, spleen, and magnum, and the strong expression of ST3Gal5 was observed in the spleen, magnum, and small and large intestines. ST3Gal1, 5, and 6 were also expressed in the tubular gland cells of the magnum, which secretes egg-white proteins. ST3Gal1, 5, and 6 were expressed in the egg chorioallantoic membrane, in which influenza viruses are propagated for the production of vaccines.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease strongly influenced by host's immune response. Aberrant sialylation on cell surface plays a key role in inflammation and immunity. This study aims to identify sialylation-related genes associated with periodontitis and explore their impact on periodontal immune microenvironment.

Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high mortality rate due to metastasis and disease recurrence, with cancer stem cells (CSCs) playing a key role in these processes and resisting standard treatments.
- The study examined glycobiomarkers in colorectal CSC subpopulations using sphere formation assays on CACO-2 and HT-29 cell lines, revealing changes in the expression of several CSC markers and glycogenes.
- In silico analyses showed that higher expression of certain glycogenes, especially OGA, correlates with poorer survival outcomes for colon and rectum cancer patients, suggesting the importance of OGA in CRC progression.

Chronic low back pain (LBP) can severely affect daily physical activity. Aberrant osteoclast-mediated resorption leads to porous endplates, which allow the sensory innervation that causes LBP. Here, we report that expression of the proton-activated chloride (PAC) channel was induced during osteoclast differentiation in the porous endplates via a RANKL/NFATc1 signaling pathway.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) has a poor prognosis, and elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying iCCA malignancy is of great significance. Glycosylation, an important post-translational modification, is closely associated with tumor progression. Altered glycosylation, including aberrant sialylation resulting from abnormal expression of sialyltransferases (STs) and neuraminidases (NEUs), is a significant feature of cancer cells.

Article Synopsis
- E. coli F18 is a major cause of bacterial diarrhea in piglets, and previous studies have linked the gene ST3GAL1 to infection resistance.
- Research shows that lowering ST3GAL1 expression in IPEC-J2 cells enhances resistance to E. coli F18, with specific methylation patterns in its promoter influencing this expression.
- ST3GAL1 appears to play a dual role by boosting immune responses while reducing the availability of E. coli F18 receptors, suggesting it could be a target for improving disease resistance in pigs through molecular breeding.
