Abstract:
Changes in the O-glycosylation of proteins have long been associated with the development of cancer, but establishing causal relationships between altered glycosylation and cancer progression remains incomplete. In this study, the authors perform comparative analyses of the cellular phenotypes, transcriptional changes, and alterations in the glycoproteome in colon cancer cells that differentially express one glycosyltransferase. Their results provide a wealth of data on which future studies can be based.
