Down-Regulation of C1GALT1 Enhances the Progression of Cholangiocarcinoma through Activation of AKT/ERK Signaling Pathways

Alteration of mucin-type O-glycosylation is implicated in tumor progression and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Core 1 β1-3 Galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) is a primary enzyme that regulates the elongation of core 1-derived mucin-type O-glycans. Dysregulation of C1GALT1 has been documented i...

description Alteration of mucin-type O-glycosylation is implicated in tumor progression and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Core 1 β1-3 Galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) is a primary enzyme that regulates the elongation of core 1-derived mucin-type O-glycans. Dysregulation of C1GALT1 has been documented in multiple cancers and is associated with aberrant core 1 O-glycosylation and cancer aggressiveness; however, the expression of C1GALT1 and its role in CCA progression remains unknown. Our study demonstrated that C1GALT1 was downregulated in CCA tissues at both the mRNA and protein levels. The biological function of C1GALT1 using siRNA demonstrated that suppression of C1GALT1 in the CCA cell lines (KKU-055 and KKU-100) increased CCA progression, evidenced by: (i) Induction of CCA cell proliferation and 5-fluorouracil resistance in a dose-dependent manner; (ii) up-regulation of growth-related genes, ABC transporter genes, and anti-apoptotic proteins; and (iii) an increase in the activation/phosphorylation of AKT and ERK in silencing C1GALT1 cells. We demonstrated that silencing C1GALT1 in CCA cell lines was associated with immature core 1 O-glycosylation, demonstrated by high expression of VVL-binding glycans and down-regulation of other main O-linked glycosyltransferases β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 6 (B3GNT6) and ST6 N-Acetylgalactosaminide Alpha-2,6-Sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GALNAC1) in C1GALT1 knockdown. Our findings demonstrate that down-regulation of C1GALT1 in CCA increases the expression of immature core 1 O-glycan, enhancing CCA progression, including growth and 5-fluorouracil resistance via the activation of the AKT/ERK signaling pathway.
