General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | core 1 beta1,3-galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) expression is upregulated in HNSCC tumors and is associated with adverse clinicopathologic features. Moreover, high C1GALT1 expression predicts poor disease-free and overall survivals. C1GALT1 overexpression enhances HNSCC cell viability, migration, and invasion, which can be reversed by erlotinib. Silencing of C1GALT1 suppresses the malignant behavior both in vitro and in vivo. Blocking O-glycan elongation on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by C1GALT1 knockdown decreases EGF-EGFR binding affinity and inhibits EGFR signaling, thereby suppressing malignant phenotypes. C1GALT1 knockout also decreases the EGFR signaling in SAS cells as shown in two independent clones. C1GALT1 overexpression in SAS cells increases EGF-induced phosphorylation of EGFR at Y1068. By contrast, C1GALT1 knockdown decreases the EGFR signaling in OEC-M1 and FaDu cells. Decreased C1GALT1 causes accumulation of Tn antigens, which is detected by vicia villosa agglutinin (VVA) lectin | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | core 1 beta1,3-galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) controls the crucial step of GalNAc-type O-glycosylation. C1GALT1 regulates phosphorylation, EGF-binding affinity, and O-glycosylation of EGFR to enhance malignant phenotypes in HNSCC cells. Itraconazole blocks C1GALT1-mediated malignant phenotypes and EGFR activity, overview. C1GALT1 transfers galactose to Tn antigen to form T antigen | Homo sapiens |
