Expression of the Carbohydrate Lewis Antigen, Sialyl Lewis A, Sialyl Lewis X, Lewis X, and Lewis Y in the Placental Villi of Patients With Unexplained Miscarriages [PDF]
BackgroundLewis antigens such as Sialyl Lewis A (sLeA), Sialyl Lewis X (sLeX), Lewis X (LeX), and Lewis Y (LeY) are a class of carbohydrate molecules that are known to mediate adhesion between tumor cells and endothelium by interacting with its selectin ...

Expression of Lewisa, Sialyl Lewisa, Lewisx, Sialyl Lewisx, Antigens as Prognostic Factors in Patients with Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Altered expression of blood group-related carbohydrate antigens such as sialyl Lewis (Le)x antigen in tumours is associated with tumour progression behaviour and subsequent prognosis.

Selectin ligand sialyl-Lewis x antigen drives metastasis of hormone-dependent breast cancers. [PDF]
Abstract The glycome acts as an essential interface between cells and the surrounding microenvironment. However, changes in glycosylation occur in nearly all breast cancers, which can alter this interaction. Here, we report that profiles of glycosylation vary between ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancers.

Relation between recurrence and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, sialyl Lewis X, and sialyl Lewis a in lung cancer [PDF]
Blood vessel invasion, recurrence rate, and time to recurrence were examined in relation to the immunohistochemical expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, sialyl LewisX, and sialyl Lewis(a) in 303 patients with lung cancer who had a curative resection from 1980 to 1991.

One‐Pot Multienzyme Synthesis of Lewis x and Sialyl Lewis x Antigens [PDF]
AbstractL‐Fucose has been found abundantly in human milk oligosaccharides, bacterial lipopolysaccharides, glycolipids, and many N‐ and O‐linked glycans produced by mammalian cells. Fucose‐containing carbohydrates have important biological functions. Alterations in the expression of fucosylated oligosaccharides have been observed in several pathological

Therapeutic targeting of cancer stem cell-specific surface glycans and glycoproteins [PDF]
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a critical subpopulation within tumors, driving malignancy, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Their unique biological attributes, particularly the distinctive landscape of surface glycans and glycoproteins, offer ...

Biosynthesis and expression of the Sda and sialyl Lewis x antigens in normal and cancer colon [PDF]
The carbohydrate determinants Sd(a) and sialyl Lewis x (sLex) both result from substitution of an alpha2,3-sialylated type 2 chain: the first with an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) beta1,4-linked to Gal and the second by an alpha1,3-linked fucose on N-acetylglucosamine. The Sd(a) antigen is synthesized by Sd(a) beta1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase

Differential expression of CD175 and CA19-9 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Alterations in protein glycosylation are observed in many solid tumor types leading to formation of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs). The most common TACA is the Tn antigen (CD175), which is a mucin-type O-GalNAc-Ser/Thr/Tyr glycan in ...
