title: Studies on the stimulation of dolichol-mediated glycosylation by dexamethasone in HeLa cells.
abstract: The effect of the addition of 1 microM-dexamethasone on the temporal sequence of the glycosylation process has been studied in HeLa S3G cells. In the presence of delipidized serum, dexamethasone caused an increase in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase and an accelerated synthesis of dolichols. These events were followed by an increase in the transfer of mannose from GDP-mannose to mannolipid. An increase in the rate of synthesis of lipid-linked oligosaccharides and a stimulation of glycosylation were observed in cells grown in the presence of delipidized serum in the culture medium. The data are consistent with the view that cellular syntheses of lipids and glycoproteins are co-ordinately controlled.
