Tumour-associated alterations of cell surface glycosylation play a crucial role in the adhesion and metastasis of cancer cells. It is well known that the metastatic potential is associated with increased GIcNAc beta1-6 branching in N-glycans of tumour cells specifically recognized by a lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinin (PHA-L). We identified proteins bearing GIcNAc beta1-6 branched N-glycans in the A375 human melanoma cell line by affinity chromatography separation on a PHA-L agarose column, followed by immunoidentification and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis. Amongst the proteins identified were integrin subunits alpha(2), alpha(3), alpha(5) and beta(1), as well as N-cadherin and lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP-1 and LAMP-2). In addition, L1, Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2-BP), activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule/CD166 (ALCAM) and melanotransferrin were shown to react with PHA-L. Some of these proteins are connected mainly with nervous tissues or the immune system and play a crucial role in cell adhesion processes. The presence of GIcNAc beta1-6 branched oligosaccharides in these proteins may influence their adhesion properties, reducing adhesion of the cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and thus facilitating tumour cell invasion.
