Abstract:Close

Background: Tn4 B cells from a patient with Tn antigen-positive leukocytes lack transcripts of Cosmc. Results: The Cosmc promoter in Tn4 cells is methylated and 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine treatment restores Cosmc transcription and normal O-glycans. Conclusion: Methylation-dependent epigenetic silencing of Cosmc occurs in Tn4 cells and results in Tn antigen expression. Significance: These findings provide a novel mechanism underlying aberrant expression of Tn antigen in human diseases.

Abstract:Close

The detection of erythropoietin (Epo) protein by Western blotting has required pre-purification of the sample. We developed a new Western blot method to detect plasma and urinary Epo using deglycosylation. Epo in urine and tissue, and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in urine were directly detected by our Western blotting. Plasma Epo and ESAs were not detected by direct application but were detected by our Western blotting after deglycosylation. The broad bands of Epo and ESAs were shifted to 22 kDa by deglycosylation except for PEG-bound epoetin β pegol. The 22 kDa band from an anemic patient's urine was confirmed by Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) to contain human Epo. Severe hypoxia (7% O2, 4 hr) caused a 400-fold increase in deglycosylated Epo expression in rat kidneys, which is consistent with the increases in both Epo gene expression and plasma Epo concentration. Immunohistochemistry showed Epo expression in nephrons but not in interstitial cells under control conditions, and hypoxia increased Epo expression in interstitial cells but not in tubules. These data show that intrinsic Epo and all ESAs can be detected by Western blot either directly in urine or after deglycosylation in blood, and that the kidney but not the liver is the main site of Epo production in control and severe hypoxia. Our method will make the tests for Epo doping and detection easy.

Abstract:Close

Two urea transporters, UT-A1 and UT-A3, are expressed in the kidney terminal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) and are important for the production of concentrated urine. UT-A1, as the largest isoform of all UT-A urea transporters, has gained much attention and been extensively studied; however, the role and the regulation of UT-A3 are less explored. In this study, we investigated UT-A3 regulation by glycosylation modification. A site-directed mutagenesis verified a single glycosylation site in UT-A3 at Asn279. Loss of the glycosylation reduced forskolin-stimulated UT-A3 cell membrane expression and urea transport activity. UT-A3 has two glycosylation forms, 45 and 65 kDa. Using sugar-specific binding lectins, the UT-A3 glycosylation profile was examined. The 45-kDa form was pulled down by lectin concanavalin A (Con A) and Galant husnivalis lectin (GNL), indicating an immature glycan with a high amount of mannose (Man), whereas the 65-kDa form is a mature glycan composed of acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and poly-N-acetyllactosame (poly-LacNAc) that was pulled down by wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and tomato lectin, respectively. Interestingly, the mature form of UT-A3 glycan contains significant amounts of sialic acid. We explored the enzymes responsible for directing UT-A3 sialylation. Sialyltransferase ST6GalI, but not ST3GalIV, catabolizes UT-A3 α2,6-sialylation. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by PDB treatment promoted UT-A3 glycan sialylation and membrane surface expression. The PKC inhibitor chelerythrine blocks ST6GalI-induced UT-A3 sialylation. Increased sialylation by ST6GalI increased UT-A3 protein stability and urea transport activity. Collectively, our study reveals a novel mechanism of UT-A3 regulation by ST6GalI-mediated sialylation modification that may play an important role in kidney urea reabsorption and the urinary concentrating mechanism.

Abstract:Close

The UT-A1 urea transporter is a glycoprotein with two different glycosylated forms of 97 and 117 kDa. In this study, we found the 117-kDa UT-A1 preferentially resides in lipid rafts, suggesting that the glycosylation status may interfere with UT-A1 lipid raft trafficking. This was confirmed by a site-directed mutagenesis study in MDCK cells. The nonglycosylated UT-A1 showed reduced localization in lipid rafts. By using sugar-specific binding lectins, we further found that the UT-A1 in nonlipid rafts contained a high amount of mannose, as detected by concanavalin A, while the UT-A1 in lipid rafts was the mature N-acetylglucosamine-containing form, as detected by wheat germ agglutinin. In the inner medulla (IM) of diabetic rats, the more abundant 117-kDa UT-A1 in lipid rafts was the mature glycosylation form, with high amounts of N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid. In contrast, in the IM of normal rats, the predominant 97-kDa UT-A1 was the form enriched in mannose. Functionally, inhibition of glycosylation by tunicamycin or elimination of the glycosylation sites by mutation significantly reduced UT-A1 activity in oocytes. Taken together, our study reveals a new role of N-linked glycosylation in regulating UT-A1 activity by promoting UT-A1 trafficking into membrane lipid raft subdomains.—Chen, G., Howe, A. G., Xu, G., Fröhlich, O., Klein, J. D., Sands, J. M. Mature N-linked glycans facilitate UT-A1 urea transporter lipid raft compartmentalization.
