| Research Abstract |
Sialidase catalyzes the removal of sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids, and consistently changes in the expression during cell differentiation, cell growth, and malignant transformation. Of four types of mammalian sialidases so far cloned, here we characterized the recently identified NEU4 and found its altered expression and influence on the malignant phenotype in colon cancers. NEU4 possessed short and long isoforms and the latter to be located in mitochondria, and unlike other sialidases, NEU4 was able to hydrolyze significantly mucins including sialylLe^x and sialylLe^a structures. Human colon mucosa was relatively rich in NEU4, but hardly contained the long form. In clear contrast to the NEU3 case, the level of mRNA was markedly decreased in colon cancers. In cultured human colon cancer cells, the enzyme was up-regulated in apoptosis induced by either the death ligand TRAIL or serum-depletion, and transfection of NEU4 resulted in acceleration of apoptosis and in decreased invasion and motility. The siRNA-mediated NEU4 targeting, on the other hand, caused the opposite. Lectin blot analyses revealed that desialylated forms of nearly 100 kDa glycoproteins were prominently increased with peanut agglutinin (PNA) in NEU4 transfectants, whereas only slight changes in glycolipids were detected. These results suggest that NEU4 plays important roles for maintenance of normal mucosa mostly through desialylation of glycoproteins and that down-regulation may contribute to malignant properties of colon cancers.
