Alterations in sialylation of terminal residues of glycoproteins have been implicated in forming tumor associated glycans. The impact of ST6GALNACIII on tumor progression remains undefined. ST6GALNACIII plays an important role in promoting A549 cell growth through quantitative regulation of TFR1 expression.
Alterations in sialylation of terminal residues of glycoproteins have been implicated in forming tumor associated glycans. ST6GALNAC transfers sialyl moiety to N-acetylgalactosamine residue via a2,6 linkage. Although the oncogenic characteristics of ST6GALNACI or II have been demonstrated in various cancer cells, the impact of ST6GALNACIII on tumor progression remains undefined. In this study, we evaluated the effect of ST6GALNACIII knockdown on the growth of A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells. ST6GALNACIII depletion resulted in significant retardation in growth of A549 cells under various culture conditions, including collagen-supported 3D culture and anchorage-independent soft agar culture conditions. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry revealed that two glycopeptides of transferrin receptor protein 1 (TFR1) containing N-acetylhexosamine-sialic acid were not detected in ST6GALNACIII-depleted A549 cells compared with control cells. Subsequent lectin binding assay, western blotting, and real-time RT-PCR indicated that TFR1 sialylation was not significantly changed, but TFR1 protein and mRNA expressions were decreased after ST6GALNACIII knockdown. However, cell growth retardation by ST6GALNACIII knockdown was partially rescued by TFR1 overexpression. Additionally, TFR1 mRNA degradation was accelerated following ST6GALNACIII knockdown with concomitant reduction in mRNA levels of iron regulatory protein 1 and 2, the upstream regulators of TFR1 mRNA stability. Therefore, our results indicated an important role of ST6GALNACIII in promoting A549 cell growth through quantitative regulation of TFR1 expression and provided therapeutic implications for ST6GALNACIII targeting in tumor growth suppression in vivo.
