Glycosylation alterations are frequently observed in cancer cells and shape tumor progression. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Nguyen et al. show that GALNT1 relocation from Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum drives liver tumor growth and invasion, due to enhanced glycosylation and consequential activation of the extracellular matrix-degrading metalloproteinase MMP14.
糖基化修饰在癌细胞中经常被观察到,并且塑造了肿瘤的进展。在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,Nguyen 等人表明,GALNT1 从高尔基体到内质网的重新定位导致了肝脏肿瘤的生长和侵袭,这是由于糖基化增强以及随后细胞外基质降解金属蛋白酶 MMP14 的激活所致。
