title: Sulfated lewis X determinants as a major structural motif in glycans from LS174T-HM7 human colon carcinoma mucin.
abstract: This article describes oligosaccharide structures of mucin isolated from nude mouse xenograft tumors produced by LS174T-HM7 cells, a subline of the human colon carcinoma LS174T with higher metastatic tendency and higher mucin production. A striking feature of the oligosaccharides of the LS174T-HM7 xenograft tumor mucin was a predominance of sulfated Lewis X determinants: HSO3-Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc. In addition to one previously known saccharide with one sulfated Lewis X determinant, the HM7 xenograft tumor mucin contained multiple novel structures containing one, two, or three sulfated Lewis X determinants. This determinant, known to act as a selectin ligand, has been found previously in minor saccharide components of human milk as well as mucins, but never before as a predominant structure in one mucin source.
