Truncated O-glycan connection to Cancer: Depletion of O-glycosyltransferase C1GALT1 leads to early PDAC onset and metastasis
Aberrant expression of truncated O-glycan structures, such as Tn and STn, is frequently observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The focus of our study is to investigate the functional role of truncated O-glycans in PDAC progression and metastasis. Our study revealed that kmockout of C1GALT1 leads to increased expression of truncated glycans and accelerates PDAC progression and metastasis. Overall design: We performed the CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of C1GALT1 in human T3M4 PDAC cells followed by whole transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing.
