As a well-known glycolysis inhibitor for anticancer treatment, 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) inhibits the growth and survival of cancer cells by interfering with the ATP produced by the metabolism of D-glucose. In addition, 2DG inhibits protein glycosylation in vivo by competing with D-mannose, leading to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and unfolded protein responses in cancer cells. However, the molecular details underlying the impact of 2DG on protein glycosylation remain largely elusive. With an integrated approach to glycoproteomics and proteomics, we characterized the 2DG-induced alterations in -glycosylation, as well as the cascading impacts on the whole proteome using the HT29 colorectal cancer cell line as a model system. More than 1700 site-specific glycoforms, represented by unique intact glycopeptides (IGPs), were identified. The treatment of 2DG had a broad effect on the -glycoproteome, especially the high-mannose types. The glycosite occupancy of the high-mannose -glycans decreased the most compared with the sialic acid and fucose-containing -glycans. Many of the proteins with down-regulated high-mannose were implicated in functional networks related to response to topologically incorrect protein, integrin-mediated signaling, lysosomal transport, protein hydroxylation, vacuole, and protein -glycosylation. The treatment of 2DG also functionally disrupted the global cellular proteome, evidenced by significant up-regulation of the proteins implicated in protein folding, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial function, cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, and translational termination. Taken together, these findings reveal the complex changes in protein glycosylation and expression underlying the various effects of 2DG on cancer cells, and may provide insightful clues to inform therapeutic development targeting protein glycosylation.
作为一种用于抗癌治疗的知名糖酵解抑制剂,2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖(2DG)通过干扰 D-葡萄糖代谢产生的 ATP,抑制癌细胞的生长和存活。此外,2DG 通过与 D-甘露糖竞争,抑制体内蛋白质糖基化,导致癌细胞内质网(ER)应激和未折叠蛋白反应。然而,2DG 对蛋白质糖基化影响的分子细节在很大程度上仍不清楚。我们采用糖蛋白质组学和蛋白质组学的综合方法,以 HT29 结肠癌细胞系为模型系统,对 2DG 诱导的 -糖基化改变以及对整个蛋白质组的级联影响进行了表征。鉴定出超过 1700 个特异性糖基化位点的独特完整糖肽(IGP)。2DG 的处理对 -糖蛋白质组有广泛的影响,特别是对高甘露糖型。与含有唾液酸和岩藻糖的 -聚糖相比,高甘露糖 -聚糖的糖基化位点占有率下降最多。许多下调的高甘露糖蛋白质与拓扑结构不正确的蛋白质反应、整合素介导的信号转导、溶酶体运输、蛋白质羟化、液泡和蛋白质 -糖基化等功能网络有关。2DG 的处理还破坏了全局细胞蛋白质组的功能,这表现在与蛋白质折叠、内质网、线粒体功能、细胞呼吸、氧化磷酸化和翻译终止相关的蛋白质的显著上调。综上所述,这些发现揭示了 2DG 对癌细胞的各种影响下蛋白质糖基化和表达的复杂变化,并可能为靶向蛋白质糖基化的治疗开发提供有见地的线索。
