Abstract

Altered expression of ABH blood group substances is a common feature of human colorectal carcinoma, yet it remains unclear how these structural changes influence the biological properties of tumor cells. Azoxymethane-induced rat colon tumors display many features of the human disease, thereby providing a potentially useful model to study the role of blood group substances in colon cancer progression. We have prepared monoclonal antibodies to a microsomal fraction isolated from an azoxymethane-induced rat colon tumor and selected an antibody that detects cancer-associated changes. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) 3A7 recognizes a determinant on type 2 chain blood group A (GalNAc alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-R) and B (Gal alpha 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-2]Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-R) oligosaccharides. Expression of the epitope detected by this antibody was developmentally regulated in rat colon, with maximal expression from day 4-21 after birth. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting analyses of azoxymethane-induced colon tumors revealed increased expression of the epitope in all of the 21 colonic tumors examined, including preneoplastic glands within transitional mucosa. Conventional and signet-ring adenocarcinomas that had inv...Continue Reading
