Abstract：
:Structural analysis of the sugar chains of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has revealed that abnormal biantennary structures appear specifically on hCG in the urine of choriocarcinoma patients. However, the enzymatic and molecular mechanisms of the biosynthesis of abnormal biantennary sugar chains have not yet been elucidated. In this report, the enzyme activities and the expression levels of mRNAs of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases (GnT)-I to -V, beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase, and alpha-mannosidase II in normal human placentae and three human choriocarcinoma cell lines were investigated. GnT-IV activities in choriocarcinoma cell lines were increased from 16- to 66-fold and GnT-III activity was increased from 15- to 25-fold as compared with those in human placentae, whereas other enzyme activities were not increased significantly. The mRNA expression levels generally correlated with their enzyme activities. Among the two GnT-IV genes found in human tissues only GnT-IVa gene was strongly expressed in the cancer cells: from three to seven times as much as in the normal tissue, whereas that of GnT-IVb remained constant. On the basis of these results, we proposed that ectopic expression of GnT-IVa gene should occur along with the malignancy of trophoblastic tissues, and that the increased GnT-IV activity should be the main cause of the formation of abnormal biantennary sugar chains in choriocarcinoma. A possible enzymatic basis of the biosynthesis of abnormal biantennary sugar chains is discussed.
