Early in vitro results indicate that de-O-acetylated sialic acids increase Selectin binding in cancers [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyCancers utilize a simple glycan, Sialic Acid, to engage in metastatic processes via the Sialic acid (Sia) -Selectin pathway. Selectins recognize and bind to sialylated substrates, resulting in adhesion, migration, and extravasation, however, how ...

Lung-Derived Selectins Enhance Metastatic Behavior of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells
Biomedicines, 2021 The lung is one of the deadliest sites of breast cancer metastasis, particularly for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We have previously shown that the lung produces several soluble factors that may enhance the metastatic behavior of TNBC, including
