The cytokine-cosmc signaling axis upregulates the tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen Tn
Tn antigen (GalNAc-α-O-Ser/Thr), a mucin-type O-linked glycan, is a well-established cell surface marker for tumors and its elevated levels have been correlated with cancer progression and prognosis. There are also reports that Tn is elevated in inflammatory tissues. However, the molecular mechanism for its elevated levels in cancer and inflammation is

Discovery of Serotransferrin Glycoforms: Novel Markers for Diagnosis of Liver Periductal Fibrosis and Prediction of Cholangiocarcinoma. [PDF]
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) caused by chronic liver fluke infection is a major public health problem in Northeast Thailand. Identification of CCA risk groups is urgently needed for the control of CCA in this region.

Prognostic and therapeutic significance of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 as tumor marker in patients with pancreatic cancer [PDF]
In pancreatic cancer ( PC) accurate determination of treatment response by imaging often remains difficult. Various efforts have been undertaken to investigate new factors which may serve as more appropriate surrogate parameters of treatment efficacy ...

Varied presentation of the Thomsen–Friedenreich disaccharide tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen on gold nanoparticles [PDF]
Three-dimensional self-assembled monolayers of gold coated with the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (TF(ag)) disaccharide (beta-Galp-(1-->3)-GalpNAc) in a variety of presentations have been prepared and characterized. Anomalies in the size distribution of our originally synthesized TF(ag)-bearing nanoparticles as shown in dynamic light scattering ...

Fucosylation of LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 by FUT1 correlates with lysosomal positioning and autophagic flux of breast cancer cells. [PDF]
Alpha1,2-fucosyltransferases, FUT1 and FUT2, which transfer fucoses onto the terminal galactose of N-acetyl-lactosamine via α1,2-linkage have been shown to be highly expressed in various types of cancers.

High expression FUT1 and B3GALT5 is an independent predictor of postoperative recurrence and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Cancer may arise from dedifferentiation of mature cells or maturation-arrested stem cells. Previously we reported that definitive endoderm from which liver was derived, expressed Globo H, SSEA-3 and SSEA-4.

Evaluation of a Novel Anti-Mucin 1 (MUC1) Antibody (PankoMab) as a Potential Diagnostic Tool in Human Ductal Breast Cancer; Comparison with Two Established Antibodies [PDF]
Aim: PankoMab is a novel antibody that recognizes a tumor-specific epitope of Mucin 1 (MUC1). The aim of this study was the evaluation of PankoMab as a potential diagnostic tool and its comparison with two established antibodies against MUC1 in human ...

SIALYL LEWISx AS A TUMOR-ASSOCIATED CARBOHYDRATE ANTIGEN IN BREAST CANCER
Operative breast cancers were subjected to a serological and immunohistochemical evaluation of sialyl Lewisx antigen as a tumor-associated one, where a new monoclonal antibody CSLEX1 which reacts with sialyl Lewisx antigen was used. Percent positive of sailayl Lewisx in sera of 30 patients with breast cancer was 30%(9/30), which was better than those ...
