Unraveling the impact of sialic acids on the immune landscape and immunotherapy efficacy in pancreatic cancer

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2023
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers. Despite the successful application of immune checkpoint blockade in a range of human cancers, immunotherapy in PDAC remains unsuccessful.

Mice lacking sialyltransferase ST3Gal-II develop late-onset obesity and insulin resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sialyltransferases are a family of 20 gene products in mice and humans that transfer sialic acid from its activated precursor, CMP-sialic acid, to the terminus of glycoprotein and glycolipid acceptors.

Gold Nanoparticles Decorated with Sialic Acid Terminated Bi-antennary N-Glycans for the Detection of Influenza Virus at Nanomolar Concentrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Gold nanoparticles decorated with full-length sialic acid terminated complex bi-antennary N-glycans, synthesized with glycans isolated from egg yolk, were used as a sensor for the detection of both recombinant hemagglutinin (HA) and whole influenza A

Evaluation of N-Acetylmannosamine Administration to Restore Sialylation in GNE-Deficient Human Embryonal Kidney Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: A key mechanism in the neuromuscular disease GNE myopathy (GNEM) is believed to be that point mutations in the GNE gene impair sialic acid synthesis – maybe due to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) activity ...

Sialic Acid Mutarotation Is Catalyzed by the Escherichia coli β-Propeller Protein YjhT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The acquisition of host-derived sialic acid is an important virulence factor for some bacterial pathogens, but in vivo this sugar acid is sequestered in sialoconjugates as the {alpha}-anomer.

Glycomic analysis of high density lipoprotein shows a highly sialylated particle. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many of the functional proteins and lipids in high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are potentially glycosylated, yet very little is known about the glycoconjugates of HDL.

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Comparison of serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sialic acid levels between malignant and benign lung diseases

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2001
Background It is known that tissue and serum sialic acid levels may be altered by malignant transformation. In this study, sialic acid levels were determined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) and serum in two groups of patients with lung cancer and ...

Clinical application of sialic acid (II) Sialic acid contents in cerebro-spinal fluid of patients suffering from the disease of the central nervous system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1959
It is well known that human serum contains some sialic acid and its contents increase markedly in the blood serum of the patients bearing malignant tumors.
