Popis: Elevated expression of β-galactoside α2,6-sialyltranferase 1 (ST6GAL1) has been observed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and demonstrated to be important for its tumorigenesis. Here, we found that ST6GAL1 expression was significantly higher in non-metastatic tumors (stage I and II) than that in metastatic tumors (stage III and IV) using 62 pair-matched tumor/normal tissues. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of how ST6GAL1 affected the CRC progression, we performed a global identification of the substrates of ST6GAL1 in the colon adenocarcinoma cell line SW480. A total of 318 membrane proteins were identified differentially affected by ST6GAL1 overexpression using metabolic labeling and proteomic analysis. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed a list of potential substrates that might mediate the different functions of ST6GAL1 in CRC including cell movement, cell death and survival. Taken together, these results indicate a dynamic change in the expression of ST6GAL1 during the CRC progression and provide a list of sialylated proteins potentially relevant to the different functions of ST6GAL1 in CRC.
