Targeting the CD47–SIRPα phagocytic checkpoint in cancer: Biology, translational opportunities, and next‐generation therapeutic strategies

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
The CD47–SIRPα axis has emerged as a critical innate immune checkpoint that suppresses macrophage‐mediated phagocytosis through a canonical “don't eat me” signal and enables tumor immune evasion. We comprehensively summarize the structural and biological features of CD47 and the molecular mechanisms underlying CD47‐mediated regulation of phagocytosis ...

Distinct N-Linked Immunoglobulin G Glycosylation Patterns Are Associated With Chronic Pathology and Asymptomatic Infections in Human Lymphatic Filariasis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Lymphatic filariasis presents a complex spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic microfilariaemic (MF+) to chronic pathology (CP), including lymphedema and elephantiasis.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

A sensitive assay to measure biomarker glycosylation demonstrates increased fucosylation of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in patients with prostate cancer compared with benign prostatic hyperplasia

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) measurement is used for the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) but the test lacks specificity due to the number of false positive readings.

Determinants of Immunoglobulin‐G N‐Glycan Patterns in the Aging General Population

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
The effect of demographic and lifestyle factors on IgG N‐glycosylation, which determines IgG's inflammatory response, remains poorly characterized. Aging, higher BMI, female sex, smoking, and heavy alcohol consumption are determinants of IgG N‐glycome patterns, which are indicative of inflammation. Women exhibit a distinct change in IgG N‐glycosylation

FUT11-Driven fucosylation coordinates K63 ubiquitination of keratin 17 to sustain psoriatic keratinocytes hyperproliferation

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling
Background The pathogenesis of psoriasis is characterized by dysregulated post-translational modifications, with particular emphasis on fucosylation—a glycosylation process mediated by fucosyltransferases (FUTs).

Diet–Microbiome–Immune Interactions at the Gut Mucosa in Food Allergy: Mechanisms, Gaps, and Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mucosal surfaces are sites of highly dynamic interactions among epithelial and immune cells, environmental exposures, particularly dietary inputs, and the diverse microbial communities and their metabolites. These elements continually influence each other to maintain homeostasis and ensure appropriate immune discrimination between pathogens ...

O-Fucosylation Is Required for ADAMTS13 Secretion [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloproteinase that cleaves von Willebrand factor to smaller, less thrombogenic forms. Deficiency of ADAMTS13 activity in plasma leads to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. ADAMTS13 contains eight thrombospondin type 1 repeats (TSR), seven of which contain a consensus sequence for the direct addition of fucose to the hydroxyl ...

Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal alloantibodies, often targeting the D antigen on fetal red blood cells. Maternal immunization is preventable with timely administration of anti‐D polyclonal antibodies (pAbs).

Decreased core-fucosylation contributes to malignancy in gastric cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The object of the study is to identify N-glycan profiling changes associated with gastric cancer and explore the impact of core-fucosylation on biological behaviors of human gastric cancer cells.
