A combined computational-experimental approach to define the structural origin of antibody recognition of sialyl-Tn, a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen. [PDF]

, 2018
Anti-carbohydrate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) hold great promise as cancer therapeutics and diagnostics. However, their specificity can be mixed, and detailed characterization is problematic, because antibody-glycan complexes are challenging to ...

Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Simple Binding and Dissociation of a Sialoglycoprotein Using Boronic Acid-Modified Functional Interfaces on Microparticles

Sensors
An overexpression of sialic acid is an indicator of metastatic cancer, and selective detection of sialic acid shows potential for cancer diagnosis. Boronic acid is a promising candidate for this purpose because of its ability to specifically bind to ...

Single-channel measurements of an N-acetylneuraminic acid-inducible outer membrane channel in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2012
NanC is an Escherichia coli outer membrane protein involved in sialic acid (Neu5Ac, i.e., N-acetylneuraminic acid) uptake. Expression of the NanC gene is induced and controlled by Neu5Ac. The transport mechanism of Neu5Ac is not known.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

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

BMC 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Siglec-E promotes β2-integrin-dependent NADPH oxidase activation to suppress neutrophil recruitment to the lung [PDF]

, 2014
Siglec-E is a sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin expressed on murine myeloid cells. It has recently been shown to function as a negative regulator of β2-integrin-dependent neutrophil recruitment to the lung following exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

A study to assess serum and tissue levels of sialic acid and hexosamine in keloids

MRIMS Journal of Health Sciences, 2015
Background: A keloid is an abnormal proliferation of scar tissue that forms at the site of cutaneous injury. The major component of scar tissue is the fibrous protein collagen, which is a glycoprotein.
