Changes in the glycosylation of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides have been shown in various tumor cells, including human colon cancer. Attempts were made to elucidate the difference in Asn-linked oligo- saccharides attached to lysosomal membrane glycopro- teins isolated from sublines of human colon carcinoma exhibiting high and low metastatic potentials in nude mice. Lysosomal membrane glycoproteins (lamp) 1 and 2 were immunoprecipitated from the cells after label- ing with radioactive sugars, and the glycopeptides pre- pared were fractionated by serial lectin affinity chro- matography employing immobilized concanavalin A, Datura stramonium agglutinin, and tomato lectin. Comparison of Asn-linked oligosaccharides from the different colonic carcinoma cells revealed the follow- ing features. First, the highly metastatic carcinoma cells express more poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl side chains with branched galactose residues than cells with low metastatic potential. Second, sialylation is more significant in the highly metastatic carcinoma cells than in the poorly metastatic ones.

prompted us to examine the carbohydrate structures of lamp- 1 and lamp-2 isolated from highly metastatic and poorly metastatic sublines derived from a human colon tumor, in order to determine whether lamp-1 and lamp-2 are the major carriers for polylactosaminoglycans on the cell surface of these tumor cells, and whether the glycosylation of these glycopro- teins is different in cells exhibiting distinct metastatic poten- tials.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES

Cell Lines-Four cell lines derived from a single human colon carcinoma specimen, designated KM12-C, KM12-SP, KM12-SM, and KM12-L4, were kindly provided by Dr. Isaiah J. Fidler (M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX). After intrasplenic injection, KM12-C and KM12-SP are poorly metastatic to liver, whereas KM12-SM and KM12-L4 are highly metastatic to liver (26, 27). The sublines were established from a primary colon carcinoma (Duke's stage B2) as described previously (26) and shown schematically in Fig. 1. Briefly, tumor tissue was dissociated into single cells or small cell clumps by treatment with collagenase type I and deoxyribonucle- ase. The cell suspension was divided into several aliquots, one of which was used directly to establish the cell line designated KM12- C. Other aliquota of the same cell suspension were injected into the spleen of several male athymic BALB/c nude mice, and cell line KM12-L4 was developed after four cycles of intrasplenic injections and production of experimental hepatic metastases in nude mice (see Fig. 1). Cell line KM12-SM was derived from a rare liver metastasis produced by parental KM12-C cells growing in the cecum wall of a nude mouse (Fig. 1) (27).

Cell Culture and Metabolic Labeling-The carcinoma cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, 1% sodium pyruvate (11.0 mg/ml), 1% penicillin (10,000 units/ml), and streptomycin (10 mg/ml). For metabolic labeling, the cells were cultured in 98% of RPMI 1640 glucose-deficient medium supple- mented with 10% dialyzed fetal calf serum and 2% of regular RPMI 1640 that contained 10% fetal calf serum (final glucose concentration, 0.28 mM) (28). [3H]Glucosamine and [3H]galactose, or [3H]fucose or [3H]mannose were added at a concentration of 10 pCi/ml and 20 pCi/ ml, respectively, and cells were metabolically labeled for 24 h a t 37 "C.

Immunoprecipitation and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrykamide Gel Electrophoresis-Radiolabeled cells were lysed in PBS (6.7 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.002% NaN3) containing 1% Nonidet P-40 and protease inhibitors as described (28). Lamp-1 and lamp-2 were sequentially immunoprecipitated from the cell lysates by addition of rabbit anti-human lamp-1 antibodies or rabbit anti-human lamp-2 antibodies as described (28). Anti-lamp- 1 and lamp-2 antibodies were kindly provided by Dr. Sven Carlsson, University of Umei, Umei, Sweden. Aliquots of radiolabeled samples were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electro- phoresis on a 7.5% polyacrylamide gel according to Laemmli (29),

followed by fluorography using Enlighting (Du Pont-New England Nuclear).

Lectin Affinity Chromatography of Glycopeptides-Glycopeptides were released by Pronase digestion of immunoprecipitates and frac- tionated by serial lectin affinity chromatography employing concan- avalin A (ConA)-Sepharose, tomato lectin-Sepharose, and Datura stramonium (DSA)-agarose. The conditions for these chromatogra- phies were described previously (28, 30). Briefly, the glycopeptides were first applied to a column of ConA-Sepharose, and complex-type triantennary and tetraantennary asparagine-linked glycopeptides (Fraction I) were separated from biantennary asparagine-linked gly- copeptides (Fraction 11) and high-mannose glycopeptides (Fraction 111). Fraction I that contains tri- and tetraantennary glycopeptides was then applied to a column of tomato lectin-Sepharose. The gly- copeptides that bound to this column, IB, contain poly-N-acetyllac- tosaminyl side chains with three or more N-acetyllactosamine repeats (28,30). Glycopeptides unbound to tomato lectin-Sepharose, IA, were then applied to a column of DSA-agarose. DSA-agarose binds glyco- peptides containing N-acetyllactosamine repeats and/or containing R4lcNAc@1+6(R4lcNAc~l+2)Man- branchings (Fraction IA2) (31).

Endo-@-galactosidase Treatment-Radiolabeled glycopeptides were digested with endo-@-galactosidase under the conditions described

freundii (32) and kindly donated by Dr. Michiko N. Fukuda of our previously (28). Endo-@-galactosidase was purified from Escherichia

institute. In the second set of experiments, radiolabeled glycopeptides were hydrolyzed in 0.1 N trichloroacetic acid at 100 "C for 1 h (4) before they were subjected to the treatment by endo-@galactosidase. The hydrolysate was neutralized by 1 N NaOH and desalted by Sephadex G-15 gel filtration using water as eluent. This acid hydrol- ysis removes both fucose and sialic acid.

Methylation Analy~k-[~H]Mannose-, [3H]galactose-, or [3H]glu- cosamine-labeled glycopeptides were methylated, together with un- labeled fetuin glycopeptides as carriers by the procedure of Hakomori (33) as described previously (28). The methylated galactose, mannose, and fucose residues were separated directly by thin layer chromatog- raphy as described (28). The methylated glucosamine derivatives were N-acetylated (4) and then separated by thin layer chromatography on a Silica Gel G, using the solvent system of acetone/water/ammo- nium hydroxide (2503:1.5, v/v/v). The sample lane was separated into 0.5-cm sections, and the radioactivity was determined by scintil- lation counting. Methylated standards of [3H]glucosamine were ob- tained from lamp-1 IB glycopeptides of HL-60 cells (28).

Estimation of the Number of Sialic Acid Residues-In order to estimate the number of sialic acid residues/mole of glycopeptide, glycopeptides were applied to a column of QAE-Sephadex A-25 equil- ibrated with 10 mM pyridine/acetic acid buffer, pH 5.5. After washing with the same buffer, monosialo, disialo, trisialo, tetrasialo, and pentasialo (plus more highly sialylated) glycopeptides were eluted step-wise in 20, 70, 150, 200 mM NaCl, and 1 M NaCl in the same buffer (28).

Assay of Glycosyltransferases-All enzymes except a 1 4 fucosyl- transferase were assayed under the same conditions as described previously (28, 34). Briefly, Gal@1-*4GlcNAc@1+3Gal@l+ 4GlcNAc@1+3Ga1@14G1c~14-(CH2),CH3 and GlcNAc@l+ 2Mana14Gl~@l+O-(CH~)~CH~ (35) were used as acceptors for UDP-GlcNAc:@-Gal @1+3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferas.e, "exten- sion enzyme," and UDP-G1cNAc:a-Man @14-N-acetylglucosami- nyltransferase (V), respectively. These two substrates were kindly provided by Dr. 014 Hindsgaul, University of Alberta, Canada. Asialo a,-acid glycoprotein was used as an acceptor for CMP-NeuNAc @- Gala2-3 sialyltransferase and a 2 4 sialyltransferase and the prod- uct was treated by Newcastle disease virus neuraminidase as described (34). The radioactivity remaining after neuraminidase digestion was regarded as the product due to a 2 4 sialyltransferase, whereas the difference between nontreated and neuraminidase-treated producta was regarded as the product due to a2+3 sialyltransferase (34). In order to measure the activity of al+3 fucosyltransferase, Fucal- 2Gala14Glc was used as an acceptor under the conditions described (36).

Estimation of Number of Lamp-1 and Lamp-2 Molecules and Sialyl L? Structures on the Cell Surface-To estimate the number of lamp- 1 and lamp-2 molecules and sialyl LeX termini on the surface of the colon tumor cell lines, the number of binding sites of monoclonal antibodies was measured according to the procedure of Ho and Springer (37). Since monoclonal antibody specific to sialyl LeX (CSLEX1, provided by UCLA tissue typing laboratory, Ref. 10) is an IgM, the sandwich method was used for the determination of binding

sites. Thus, adherent carcinoma cells were washed with PBS contain- ing 4 mg/ml BSA, and then various amounts of the monoclonal antibodies were added. After incubation at 4 “C for 1 h, the cells were washed with cold PBS containing BSA and ‘*’I-labeled goat anti- mouse IgM diluted in PBS containing BSA was added. In preliminary experiments, the amount of the second antibody was determined to saturate the binding sites. The number of binding sites was calculated from the determination of the specific activity by measuring the total radioactivity of the aliquots used for each experiment. Similarly, the binding sites of lamp-1 and lamp-2 were estimated by using mouse monoclonal antibodies BB6 (specific to lamp-1) and CD3 (specific to lamp-2, Ref. 20) followed by the addition of ‘251-labeled goat anti- mouse IgG. ‘*’I-Labeled goat anti-mouse IgM and anti-mouse IgG were purchased from Du Pont-New England Nuclear. In order to estimate the binding sites a t the cell surface, the whole procedure was carried out on ice. In order to estimate the binding sites including the cytoplasm, the cells were fixed with 0.5% formaldehyde, and perme- abilized with 0.5% saponin, as described (38). The monoclonal anti- bodies were then added on the fixed, permeabilized cells on ice.

Indirect Immunofluorescence-Indirect immunofluorescence was carried out exactly as described previously (38). Briefly, the cells were fixed first with 0.5% formaldehyde in PBS for 20 min at room temperature and then permeabilized with 0.5% saponin and 4 mg/ml BSA in PBS. The fixed and permeabilized cells were then incubated with anti-lamp-1 or lamp-2 monoclonal antibody followed by fluores- cein isothiocyanate-conjugated F(ab’), fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG. Alternatively, the cells were incubated on ice with appropriate antibody, then fixed with paraformaldehyde. The cells were then incubated in the second antibody conjugated with fluorescein isothi- ocyanate: The latter procedure is to detect lamp molecules on the cell surface while the former procedure can detect the intracellular lamp molecules as well. Similarly, the cells were incubated with mouse anti-sialyl Le” monoclonal antibody (purchased from Signet Labora- tories, Dedham, MA) followed by fluorescein isocyanate-conjugated F(ab’), fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG.

RESULTS~

Lamp-1 and Lamp-2 from High and Low Metastatic Colonic Carcinoma Cells-The colonic carcinoma cell lines with vary- ing metastasic potentials were metabolically labeled in the presence of one of the radioactive monosaccharides, and lamp- 1 and lamp-2 were then immunoprecipitated. As shown in Fig. 2A, the major glycoproteins in the total cell lysates are glycoproteins with M , -170 to -180 and M , -130. The latter glycoproteins correspond to lamp-1 and lamp-2 as shown in Fig. 2B, indicating that lamp-1 and lamp-2 are the major glycoproteins even in the total cell lysate. Fig. 2 also reveals that [‘H]fucose was incorporated more in the poorly met- astatic cells than in the highly metastatic cells (compare SP versus LA in Fig. 2). Examination by sodium dodecyl sulfate- gel electrophoresis did not reveal an obvious difference in the molecular weight of lamps between highly metastatic and poorly metastatic colonic carcinoma cells.

Fractionation of Glycopeptides by Serial Lectin Affinity Chromatography-The difference in carbohydrate moieties attached to lamps was demonstrated when the glycopeptides were fractionated by serial lectin chromatography. Glycopep- tides were prepared from immunoprecipitated lamp-1 and lamp-2, and the radioactive glycopeptides were fractionated as shown in Fig. 3. The results indicate clearly that lamp-1 from the highly metastatic colon carcinoma cells, L4, yield a greater proportion of glycopeptides that are bound by tomato lectin-Sepharose than glycopeptides from the poorly met- astatic SP cells. Similar results were obtained when lamp-2 glycopeptides were analyzed as shown in Fig. 4. Furthermore, the highly metastatic cells (LA) contained a higher amount of

Aliquots were taken for determination of radioactivity. The samples were pooled as indicated by horizontal bars.

glycopeptides, which bound to DSA-agarose (Fraction fA2), in both lamp-1 and lamp-2 than the poorly metastatic SP cells (Figs. 3 and 4 and Table I). Another pair of highly and poorly metastatic cell lines, SM and C, was also metabolically labeled with [3H]galactose and [3H]mannose, and glycopep- tides were prepared from immunoprecipitated lamp-1 and lamp-2, As shown in Table I, the highly metastatic cell line ( S M ) again yielded a greater proportion of glycopeptides bound to tomato lectin-Sepharose and DSA-agarose than the poorly metastatic cell line (C). These results indicate that highly metastatic colon carcinoma cells contain more glyco- peptides bound to tomato lectin-Sepharose and to DSA-Seph- arose than poorly metastatic colon carcinoma cells.

Structures of Asparagine-linked Oligosaccharides-To un- derstand the difference in Asn-linked oligosaccharides be- tween high and low metastatic colon carcinoma cells, the structural analysis of glycopeptides was carried out as shown in the Miniprint. To simplify the description of the structural analysis, the glycopeptides obtained from lamps of the highly metastatic carcinoma cell line L4 are described first in detail.

Structures of IB Glycopeptides-Based on the results de- scribed in the Miniprint, the structures of the glycopeptides bound to the tomato lectin-Sepharose column can be pro- posed, as shown in Fig. 13A. IB glycopeptides are tetraanten- nary saccharides which contain 5 to 6 mol of N-acetyllac- tosaminyl units/mol of glycopeptides, thus 1-2 mol of N - acetyllactosamine are present in poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl extension. The longest poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl extension has the backbone of linear, Gal@14GlcNAc@l+3Gal@l+ 4GlcNAc@l+3Gal@1+4G1cNAc@l+Man or branched struc- ture, Gal@l4GlcNAc@l+3(Gal@l4GlcNAc@l+6)Gal@1+ 4GlcNAc@l+Man. 63% of the N-acetyllactosaminyl units are substituted with cu1-3 fucose residues, which are apparently attached uniformly to N-acetylglucosamine residues at var- ious positions. In addition, 0.4 mol of the terminal galactose is substituted with al+2-linked fucose. The majority of IB glycopeptides contain 2 or 3 sialic acid residues. Together, the termini of IB glycopeptides contain sialyl LeX structure, NeuNAc~2+3Gal@l+4(Fucal+3)GlcNAc and LeY struc- ture, Fucal+2Gal@l+4(Fuca1+3)GlcNAc. Portions of these structures were released by endo-@-galactosidase (Fig. 7).

In Fig. 13, the structures were proposed for the glycopep- tides that contain Gal@1+4GlcNAc, namely type 2 chain in the side chains. However, it has been reported that some of the oligosaccharide side chains in colonic epithelial cells could contain the Gal@l+3GlcNAc structure, namely the type 1 chain (39). In order to estimate the ratio of Gal@ldGlcNAc to Gal@l+3GlcNAc linkages, the desialylated, defucosylated IB glycopeptides were digested by @-galactosidase and @-N- acetylglucosaminidase, both purified from Diplococcus pneu- monia. Diplococcal @-galactosidase was shown to hydrolyze only Gal(314GlcNAc linkage but not Gal@l+3GlcNAc link- age (40). The results indicate that more than 70% of the side chains are composed of Gal@l4GlcNAc linkages (data not shown). This number needs to be taken as a minimal estimate since diplococcal 8-N-acetylglucosaminidase may not cleave all of the GlcNAc@l+4Gal@l4G1cNAc~l+4/6Man~R structures (39). In order to determine whether these cells express type 1 structures, we examined the cells by indirect immunofluorescence using anti-sialyl Le" antibody. The re- sults showed that both SP and L4 cells express a small but detectable amount of sialyl Le" structure (data not shown). These results therefore indicate that the great majority of the side chains consists of N-acetyllactosamine units (type 2 chain), whereas a small portion of the side chains (less than 30%) have Gal@l+3GlcNAc structures (type 1 chain).

FIG. 13. Proposed structures of Asn-linked glycopeptides obtained from lamp-1 and lamp-2 in highly and poorly met- astatic carcinoma cells. Proposed structures for major saccharides in IB glycopeptides ( A ) , IA2 glycopeptides (B), and IA1 glycopeptides ( C ) are shown. On the average, IB glycopeptides contain 5-6 N- acetyllactosaminyl units with a branched galactose. IA2 and IA1 glycopeptides contain, on the average, 4-5 N-acetyllactosamine units. About 20% of terminal galactose residues is substituted with (~1-2 fucose instead of sialic acid residues. A very small portion of N- acetyllactosaminyl side chains are composed of type 1 chain, Galj31+ 3GlcNAc. IA1 glycopeptides are extensively fucosylated at N-acetyl- lactosamine units. The highly metastatic cells ( L 4 ) are more sialyl- ated and less fucosylated than the poorly metastatic cells ( S P ) (see text for details).

Structures of IA2 Glycopeptides-Based on the results de- scribed in the Miniprint, the structures of IA2, the glycopep- tides that were bound to DSA-agarose, are proposed as shown in Fig. 13B. IA2 glycopeptides have on the average 4.6-4.9 mol of N-acetyllactosaminyl units in tetraantennary struc- tures, thus 0.6-0.9 mol of N-acetyllactosaminyl units are present as poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl extensions. The major- ity of IA2 glycopeptides contains 4,3, or 2 sialic acid residues. IA2 glycopeptides contain the least amount of fucose residues attached to N-acetyllactosaminyl side chains among IB, IA1, and IA2 glycopeptides. A high proportion of N-acetyllactosa- mines directly attached to a-mannose are non-fucosylated N - acetylglucosamines. Otherwise, endo-@-galactosidase treat- ment should have shown a greater release of oligosaccharides after defucosylation (see Fig. 10). Fucose residues therefore must be attached preferentially to the external positions of N-acetyllactosaminyl side chains. In addition, fucose is at- tached to the terminal galactose. As a whole, IA2 glycopep- tides therefore have sialyl LeX and LeY terminal structures.

Structures of I A l Glycopeptides-Based on the results de- scribed in the Miniprint, the structures of IA1 glycopeptides that were not bound to DSA-agarose are proposed as shown in Fig. 13C. The majority of IA1 glycopeptides are tetraanten- nary saccharides containing 0 or 1 mol of poly-N-acetyllac-

tosaminyl extensions. IA1 glycopeptides contain, on the av- erage, 2 sialic acid residues. IA1 glycopeptides are highly fucosylated and more than 75% of N-acetyllactosaminyl units are substituted with fucose. These fucose residues are uni- formly distributed. Thus, a majority of IA1 glycopeptides must have at least 1 mol of sialyl LeX and a maximum of 0.5 mol of LeY/mol of the glycopeptides.

Comparison of Glycopeptide Structures from Poorly Met- astatic and Highly Metastatic Colon Carcinoma Cell Lines- Glycopeptides obtained from poorly metastatic cells were subjected to structural analysis in the same way as was done for those from highly metastatic cells, and the following conclusions can be drawn. (a) Lamps from highly metastatic cells contain more polylactosamine-containing Asn-linked ol- igosaccharides, both IB and IA2 glycopeptides, than poorly metastatic carcinoma cells (Table I). Concomitantly, much less IA1 glycopeptides were obtained from highly metastatic cells compared to poorly metastatic cells. (b) The glycopep- tides from highly metastatic carcinoma cells are appreciably more sialylated than the counterparts from poorly metastatic cells (Table IV). Conversely, the fucose content is much higher in the glycopeptides isolated from poorly metastatic carci- noma cells (Tables I11 and V). Methylation analysis and fucose content indicated that IA1 glycopeptides from poorly metastatic carcinoma cells contain almost fully fucosylated N-acetyllactosamine units. (c) Since ConA I and ConA I1 glycopeptides contain 3 mol of mannose/mol of glycopeptides, the number of Asn-linked oligosaccharides can be estimated as shown in Table VI, assuming that high mannose oligosac- charides contain about 7.5 mol of mannose/molecules as shown in the previous studies for HL-60 cells (28). The results indicate that the major difference between highly and poorly metastatic cells is that more sialylated but less fucosylated in the N-acetyllactosamines in the highly metastatic carcinoma cells. In addition, slightly more N-glycosylation sites are modified to acquire poly-N-acetyllactosamine in the highly metastatic cells. On the other hand, the number of N-acetyl- lactosamine units in each glycopeptide fraction does not differ irrespective of the metastatic potential of the cells.

Although no appreciable difference was observed in the first two enzymes, the latter two enzymes show a dramatic differ- ence between high and low metastatic cells. Table VI1 reveals that poorly metastatic SP cells express twice as much (~1-3 fucosyltransferase as highly metastatic L4 cells, whereas highly metastatic L4 cells express 50% more a2+3 sialyl- transferase than poorly metastatic SP cells. These results are in good agreement with the above results that the highly metastatic cells contain more sialylated but less fucosylated glycopeptides than the low metastatic cells.

Comparison of Cell Surface Lamp Expression between High and Low Metastatic Carcinoma Cells-It has been shown that a small portion of lamp molecules can be expressed on the cell surface, and these molecules can be the carriers of poly- N-acetyllactosamine chains on the cell surface (20, 23-25). To test if highly metastatic carcinoma cells express more lamp on the cell surface, the expression of lamp molecules was examined by indirect immunofluorescence. As shown in Fig. 14A, the intensity of immunofluorescence staining of the lamp-1 molecule on the surface of the poorly metastatic cells was relatively weak. In contrast, the immunofluorescence on the surface of highly metastatic cells was obvious and stronger than that on the poorly metastatic ones (compare C with A

SP ( A and B ) and L4 (C and D) cells were examined either as intact cells for surface expression of lamp-1 ( A and C) or after permeabilizing with saponin for visualization of the intracellular distribution of lamp-1 ( B and D). The cells were incubated with monoclonal anti-(h-lamp-1) antibody followed by fluorescein isothi- ocyanate-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG. The bar indicates 20 nm.

in Fig. 14). When the cells were permeabilized, intracellular lysosomal structures were stained with similar intensity in both cell types (Fig. 14, B and D). These results suggest that more lamp molecules are exposed on the surface of highly metastatic carcinoma cells than on poorly metastatic ones.

In order to quantitate this difference, the number of lamp- 1 and lamp-2 molecules was estimated by determination of the number of antibody-binding sites. As shown in Fig. 15A, more of the antibodies were bound to the surface of highly metastatic cells than poorly metastatic cells. The number of binding sites/cell was found to be 2.2 X lo4 and 1.4 X lo4 for highly and poorly metastatic cells, SP and L4, respectively (Table VIII). A similar difference was also found between another pair of cells, and 2.4 X lo4 and 1.2 X lo4 lamp-l/cell, respectively, were found to express on the cell surface of SM and C cells. In these experiments, nonspecific binding was less than 2% of the total binding. In addition, the size of the highly and poorly metastatic cells is very similar. We also estimated the number of lamp-1 and lamp-2 molecules in the whole cell, including the cytoplasm by the analysis of perme- abilized cells. Table VI11 reveals that highly metastatic cells

Comparison of Cell Surface Sialyl Lex Expression between Highly and Poorly Metastatic Carcinoma Cells-The number of sialyl LeX determinants on the cell surface was estimated in order to test whether the expression of cell surface sialyl LeX correlates with the expression of lamp-1 and lamp-2 molecules. Table VI11 shows that the number of binding sites for anti-sialyl LeX antibodies/cell is close to that estimated for lamp-1 and lamp-2. Simple calculations, based on the number of binding sites, suggest that as much as 30% of sialyl LeX structures can be carried by cell surface lamp molecules. However, the anti-sialyl LeX antibody is of the IgM type, so that some antibodies could bind pentavalently, whereas some of the anti-lamp antibody binds divalently due to its IgG nature. Because of this difference in valency, these experi- ments do not provide the actual number of sialyl LeX deter- minants carried by cell surface lamp molecules.

Fig. 15B and Table VI11 also reveal that the highly met- astatic cell expresses more of sialyl LeX structures with high affinity to the monoclonal antibody. This difference in the binding curve was reproduced in repeated experiments. This result is consistent with the above findings that highly met- astatic cells express more of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl gly- copeptides (see Table VI), assuming that sialyl LeX structures at the termini of poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl side chains have higher affinity to the monoclonal antibody than those at short chains. The same experiments also showed that the number of sialyl LeX sites is almost the same at saturating antibody concentrations, regardless of cell types. This is probably due to the fact that low metastatic cells express more of shorter N-glycans enriched with sialyl LeX structure (IA1 glycopep- tides). As a result, both highly and poorly metastatic tumor cells express a similar amount of sialyl LeX structure which has low affinity to the anti-sialyl LeX antibody.

DISCUSSION

The present studies revealed differences in Asn-linked oli- gosaccharides attached to lysosomal membrane glycoproteins 1 and 2 synthesized in poorly and highly metastatic human colon carcinoma cells. The results can be summarized as follows. First, the highly metastatic colon carcinoma cell lines (L4 and SM) synthesize more of Asn-linked oligosaccharides that contain poly-N-acetyllactosamines than their poorly metastatic counterparts (C and SP). Second, the po1y-N- acetyllactosamine chains are sialylated more extensively in

the highly metastatic colonic cells. Third, the poly-N-acetyl- lactosamine units are fucosylated to a lower degree in the highly metastatic colonic carcinoma cell lines. Table VI illus- trates that the number of Asn-linked oligosaccharides con- taining poly-N-acetyllactosaminyl units with branched galac- tose moieties (IB glycopeptides) increases from 0.5 to 1.9 mol for lamp-1 and from 0.6 to 1.7 mol for lamp-2, after the cells are selected for liver metastasis. The number of Asn-linked oligosaccharides containing linear N-acetyllactosaminyl re- peats but fewer fucose residues (IA2 glycopeptides) increases dramatically after the same selection. Concomitant with this increase, the amount of oligosaccharides with a minimum amount of poly-N-acetyllactosamines but with higher fuco- sylation (IA1 glycopeptides) decreases dramatically in the highly metastatic cells (Table VI). These results indicate that the degree of sialylation increases but fucosylation decreases in the highly metastatic cell lines. These results were obtained because the highly metastatic cells express an increased amount of a2-3 sialyltransferase and a decreased amount of a1-3 fucosyltransferase than the poorly metastaic cells (Table VII). In addition, the increased sialylation may result in the decreased fucosylation in the highly metastatic colonic carcinoma cells, since sialylation in general hinders fucosy- lation at N-acetyllactosamine units and fucosylation follows after sialylation (42, 43). On the other hand, it is not clear at this point how the highly metastatic cells express a slightly increased amount of poly-N-acetyllactosamine. Consistent with our results it has been reported that a B16 melanoma variant, which is resistant to wheat germ agglutinin, is en- riched in the Galp14(Fucal+3)GlcNAc structure but con- tains only a trace amount of sialic acid (44).

Our studies demonstrated that serial lectin affinity chro- matography is useful in fractionating glycopeptides exhibiting differences in poly-N-acetyllactosamine. As reported previ- ously (28,30), tomato lectin-bound fraction was preferentially enriched with glycopeptides containing longer poly-N-acetyl- lactosaminyl repeats. All of the glycopeptides with branched galactose were apparently bound to this immobilized lectin. In contrast, DSA-agarose can bind oligosaccharides even with short poly-N-acetyllactosamines. However, it is significant to note that the glycopeptides with short poly-N-acetyllactosa- mines were not bound to DSA when they were also heavily fucosylated, which is consistent with a previous report (31). It was reported that triantennary oligosaccharides lacking 2,6-di-O-substituted a-mannose also fails to bind to DSA (45). The present studies extend these observations in that they show not only the extent of poly-N-acetyllactosamine and the number of antennae but also other substitutions, such as fucosylation, can be discriminated efficiently by the serial lectin affinity chromatography employing ConA, tomato lec- tin, and DSA. It is worthwhile to mention that the effect of fucose substitution was not evident in fractionation of glyco- peptides from HL-60 lamp molecule (28). This is most likely because glycopeptides from HL-60 lamps contain longer poly- N-acetyllactosaminyl side chains with less fucose substitution than those from colon carcinoma cells.

The present results are consistent with the previous reports on the expression of polylactosaminoglycans in transformed cells. It has been shown that baby hamster kidney cells transformed by the Rous sarcoma virus or polyoma ViNS express more polylactosaminoglycans than their untrans- formed parent cell lines (13-15). It is noteworthy that met- astatic tumor cells transformed by various oncogenes also increase in the synthesis of the side chain arising from GlcNAc/314Manal-&, which is formed by N-acetylglucos- aminyltransferase V (16,17). Since this side chain is the most

preferable site for poly-N-acetyllactosamine extension by ~1+3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, the increased amount of the GlcNAc@l4Mand+R branch leads to an increase in poly-N-acetyllactosamine (18,45,46). Conversely, it was reported that tumor metastasis in animal models was reduced by the addition of glycosylation inhibitors such as swainsonine and castanospermine (47-49). Since these two inhibitors block the formation of side chains elongating from C-6 of a-mannose (50), they presumably inhibit poly-N-ace- tyllactosamine formation. Thus, the inhibition of poly-N- acetyllactosamine synthesis apparently reduces tumorigenic- ity. Similarly, we have shown recently that the major carriers for poly-N-acetyllactosamine in human CaCo-2 colonic tumor cells are lamp-1 and lamp-2 and that their poly-N-acetyllac- tosamine content is decreased after the CaCo-2 cells are differentiated and lose their tumorigenicity (51). These results indicate that the amount of poly-N-acetyllactosamine in lamp-1 and lamp-2 is positively correlated to the tumorigenic- ity. Our study extended these findings in that we compared two pairs of highly metastatic and poorly metastatic sublines, all derived from a single humen colon cancer specimen. The increased amount of poly-N-acetyllactosamine in lamp-1 and lamp-2 of the highly metastatic cells implies that they are related to tumor progression and the acquisition of the met- astatic phenotype.

The present study also revealed that the highly metastatic sublines express more lamp molecules on the cell surface than the lower metastatic sublines. The increased expression of lamp-1 and lamp-2 on the surface of the highly metastatic cells may be related to the metastatic properties, especially as mediators of cell adhesion. In order for tumorigenic cells to establish metastasis, blood-borne tumor cells need to lodge in capillary beds at junctions between endothelial cells (52). Studies from several laboratories suggest that this process can be mediated by interaction between adhesive molecules, selectins, on endothelial cells and the surface of tumorigenic cells (53,54). It has been demonstrated recently that adhesive molecules, named selectins, such as ELAM-1 on endothelium and GMP-140 on platelets bind to sialyl LeX or its related structures on neutrophils and monocytes (6-9, 55). Further- more, several laboratories showed that human epithelial car- cinoma cells in situ, in particular those derived from colon, stomach, and breast, express a significant amount of the sialyl LeX and sialyl Le" structures on the cell surface (10-12, 56). This raises the possibility that blood-borne metastatic tumor cells aggregate with platelets in the circulation and succeed in attaching to endothelial cells through the interaction be- tween tumor cell surface sialyl LeX (8) or sialyl Le" (57) structures and selectins present on endothelial cells. The present study revealed, however, that both highly and poorly metastatic tumor cells express almost the same number of sialyl LeX determinants at saturating antibody concentra- tions, whereas the highly metastatic cells express more of the sialyl Lex determinants with high affinity to the antibody (Table VIII). The results therefore indicate that the role of sialyl LeX is independent of the total number of sialyl LeX structures, if sialyl LeX plays any role in the metastatic differences shown by these cell lines. It is also possible that sialyl LeX determinants on highly metastatic cell lines are recognized more favorably by mouse ELAM-1 because of a more favorable structure in underlying glycans such as poly- lactosaminoglycans or protein backbone. However, further studies are necessary to determine if the differences in the affinity of anti-sialyl LeX antibody binding can be extended to differences in ELAM-1 binding affinity.

It has been shown that one of the important factors that

enable tumor cells to become invasive is their ability to secrete lysosomal enzymes that can degrade surrounding extracellular matrix (58-60). This release of lysosomal enzymes could be most efficient if intact lysosomes are transported to the cell surface and the lysosomal enzymes exocytosed en masse. In fact, it has recently been shown that cytotoxic T-lymphocytes release lysosomal enzymes by fusing secretory lysosomes with plasma membrane when they attack target cells (61). In addition, we have shown recently that polylactosaminoglycans attached to lamp molecules apparently contribute to the sta- bility of lamps, by protecting the polypeptide moiety from proteolytic digestion in the lumen of lysosomes (28). It is then most likely that secretory lysosomes can reach the cell surface more efficiently in highly metastatic cells and increase their ability to degrade extracellular matrix components and sub- sequent invasion. It will be interesting to determine in future studies if poly-N-acetyllactosamines on cell surface lamps are actually major ligands on metastatic tumor cells recognized by selectins and if more stable secretory lysosomes are present in highly metastatic tumor cells.
