Abstract We have characterized site-specific N-glycosylation of the HeLa cell line glycoproteins, using a complex workflow based on high and low energy tandem mass spectrometry of glycopeptides. The objective was to obtain highly reliable data on common glycoforms, so rigorous data evaluation was performed. The analysis revealed the presence of a high amount of bovine serum contaminants originating from the cell culture media – nearly 50% of all glycans were of bovine origin. Unaccounted, the presence of bovine serum components causes major bias in the human cellular glycosylation pattern; as is shown when literature results using released glycan analysis are compared. We have reliably identified 43 (human) glycoproteins, 69 N-glycosylation sites, and 178 glycoforms. HeLa glycoproteins were found to be highly (68.7%) fucosylated. A medium degree of sialylation was observed, on average 46.8% of possible sialylation sites were occupied. High-mannose sugars were expressed in large amounts, as expected in the case of a cancer cell line. Glycosylation in HeLa cells is highly variable. It is markedly different not only on various proteins but also at the different glycosylation sites of the same protein. Our method enabled the detailed characterization of site-specific N-glycosylation of several glycoproteins expressed in HeLa cell line.

Aims: The present study was conducted to examine the inhibitory effects of synthesized sulfonylhydrazones on the expression of CD73 (ecto-5′-NT). Background: CD73 (ecto-5′-NT) represents the most significant class of ecto-nucleotidases which are mainly responsible for dephosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate to adenosine. Inhibition of CD73 played an important role in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, precancerous syndromes, and some other diseases associated with CD73 activity. Objective: Keeping in view the significance of CD73 inhibitor in the treatment of cervical cancer, a series of sulfonylhydrazones (3a-3i) derivatives synthesized from 3-formylchromones were evaluated. Methods: All sulfonylhydrazones (3a-3i) were evaluated for their inhibitory activity towards CD73 (ecto-5′-NT) by the malachite green assay and their cytotoxic effect was investigated on HeLa cell line using MTT assay. Secondly, most potent compound was selected for cell apoptosis, immunofluorescence staining and cell cycle analysis. After that, CD73 mRNA and protein expression were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results: Among all compounds, 3h, 3e, 3b, and 3c were found the most active against rat-ecto-5′-NT (CD73) enzyme with IC50 (µM) values of 0.70 ± 0.06 µM, 0.87 ± 0.05 µM, 0.39 ± 0.02 µM and 0.33 ± 0.03 µM, respectively. These derivatives were further evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against cancer cell line (HeLa). Compound 3h and 3c showed the cytotoxicity at IC50 value of 30.20 ± 3.11 µM and 86.02 ± 7.11 µM, respectively. Furthermore, compound 3h was selected for cell apoptosis, immunofluorescence staining and cell cycle analysis which showed promising apoptotic effect in HeLa cells. Additionally, compound 3h was further investigated for its effect on expression of CD73 using qRT-PCR and western blot. Conclusion: Among all synthesized compounds (3a-3i), Compound 3h (E)-N'-((6-ethyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl) methylene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonohydrazide was identified as most potent compound. Additional expression studies conducted on HeLa cell line proved that this compound successfully decreased the expression level of CD73 and thus inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.

Putative Precursor

We have identified mature and putative precursor forms of glycophorins expressed in a virus-transformed murine erythroleukaemia (MEL) cell line and compared them with their normal erythroblast counterparts. The following differences were found: (1) the two major MEL cell glycophorins (apparent Mr values 29–30 and 43(x10(3] have greater mobility on polyacrylamide gels than their normal gp-3 and gp-2 counterparts, due at least in part to differences in their oligosaccharide sidechains; (2) MEL cell gp-3 consists of two discrete proteins; and (3) there are more potential glycophorin precursors in MEL cells than in normal mouse erythroblasts. Four proteins, with apparent Mr values of 21, 23, 26 and 27(x10(3], have tentatively been identified as glycophorin precursors, based on the following findings: (1) they are immunologically related to the glycophorins; and (2) their synthesis was induced by dimethyl sulphoxide coincidentally with that of gp-3 and gp-2. They do not appear to be glycoproteins, as evidenced by their lack of incorporation of [3H]galactose, [3H]glucosamine or [3H]mannose. In contrast, gp-3 and gp-2 incorporated [3H]galactose and [3H]glucosamine but not [3H]mannose. Partial characterization of the glycan moieties of MEL cell glycophorins indicates that they consist mostly of tri- and tetrasaccharides, with no indication of any N-linked chains. Hence, the glycans of MEL cell glycophorins are mostly (if not all) O-linked. Furthermore, treatment with N-glycanase did not change their electrophoretic mobility on polyacrylamide gels. MEL cell glycophorins were also shown to be modified by phosphoryl and fatty acyl groups.

Nmr Study

This work focuses on the design, synthesis and evaluation of imine-containing heterocyclic and acyclic compounds with special focus on their bioactivity against parasitic protozoans (P. falciparum and T. brucei) - given the context of drug resistance in the treatment of malaria and Human African sleeping sickness and the fact that several bioactive organic compounds have been reported to possess the imino group. Starting from 2-aminopyridine, novel #-alkylated-5-bromo-7-azabenzimidazoles and substituted 5-bromo-1-(carbamoylmethy)-7-azabenzimidazole derivatives were prepared, and their bioactivity against parasitic protozoans was assessed. NMR spectra of the substituted 5- bromo-1-(carbamoylmethy)-7-azabenzimidazole derivatives exhibited rotational isomerism, and a dynamic NMR study was used in the estimation of the rate constants and the free- energies of activation for rotation. The free-energy differences between the two rotamers were determined and the more stable conformations were predicted. Novel 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazoles were also synthesised from 2-aminopyridine. A convenient method for the regioselective formylation of 2,3-diaminopyridines into 2-amino- 7-(benzylimino)pyridine analogues of 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazole was developed, and some of the resulting imino derivatives were hydrogenated to verify the importance of the imino moiety for bioactivity. The 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazoles and the 2-amino-7- (benzylimino)pyridine analogues were screened for their anti-protozoal activity and their cytotoxicity level was determined against the HeLa cell line. In order to validate the importance of the pyridine moiety, novel #-(phenyl)-2- hydroxybenzylimines, #-(benzyl)-2-hydroxybenzylimines and (±)-trans-1,2-bis[2- hydroxybenzylimino]cyclohexanes were also synthesized and screened for activity against the parasitic protozoans and for cytotoxicity against the HeLa cell line. The biological assay results indicated that these compounds are not significantly cytotoxic and a good number of them show potential as lead compounds for the development of new malaria and trypanosomiasis drugs.
