Abstract
The expression of complex carbohydrates recognised by Helix pomatia lectin (HPA, nominal monosaccharide binding specificity alpha-GalNAc) has been shown to predict unfavourable prognosis in breast and other cancers. It has been suggested that the prognostic significance of HPA binding may be through recognition of either Tn epitope (alpha-GalNAc-O-serine/threonine) or blood group A antigen (terminal alpha-1-->3GalNAc attached to the basic H-antigen, Fuc-alpha-1-->2-Gal-beta-1-->4(or 3) GlcNAc-->R). In this study, the expression of glycoproteins terminating in alpha-GalNAc residues was investigated immunohistochemically using HPA and two monoclonal antibodies--BRIC 66 (anti-alpha-GalNAc) and BRIC 111 (anti-Tn). In paraffin sections, 74/87 (85%) of breast cancers expressed HPA-binding ligands, while 28/87 (32%) were positive for BRIC 66 binding and 25/87 (29%) expressed Tn. Distribution of staining patterns were distinctive and different with the three markers. BRIC 66, BRIC 111 and HPA binding to glycoproteins derived from breast cancer homogenates and to blood group A and Tn positive glycoproteins in Western blots confirmed the immunohistochemistry data. The results suggest that the prognostic significance of HPA binding in bre...Continue Reading
