Differentiation-associated decrease in the proportion of fucosylated polylactosaminoglycans of CaCo-2 human colonic adenocarcinoma cells
Abstract
CaCo-2 cells are human colonic adenocarcinoma cells which can differentiate spontaneously into enterocytes when maintained confluent for extended periods of time. Cells kept in culture for 4 days (rapidly growing), 7-9 days (early confluence) and 19-22 days (late confluence) were incubated for 24 h with L-[5,6-3H]fucose or D-[6-3H]glucosamine in order to examine the changes in glycoprotein carbohydrate structure that occur during this differentiation. Labelled glycopeptides obtained by exhaustive Pronase digestion of the cell-surface and cell-pellet fractions were fractionated on Bio-Gel P-6. A high-Mr glycopeptide fraction which was excluded from Bio-Gel P-6 was present in all cases. These glycopeptides were then fractionated by affinity chromatography on Datura stramonium agglutinin-agarose. The glycopeptides which were specifically bound to the lectin column were largely degraded by endo-beta-galactosidase, thereby indicating that they consisted of fucosylated polylactosaminoglycans. The proportion of labelled polylactosaminoglycans decreased with increasing time in culture, whereas sucrase activity, which is characteristic of differentiated enterocytes, increased. These results demonstrate that a relatively large decrease in the proportion of fucosylated polylactosaminoglycans occurs with differentiation of CaCo-2 cells.
