New Biomarkers

Glycans stand out from all classes of biomolecules because of their unsurpassed structural complexity. This is generated by variability in anomeric status of the glycosidic bond and its linkage points, ring size, potential for branching and introduction of diverse site-specific substitutions. What poses an enormous challenge for analytical processing is, at the same time, the basis for the fingerprint-like glycomic profiles of glycoconjugates and cells. What's more, the glycosylation machinery is sensitive to disease manifestations, earning glycan assembly a reputation as a promising candidate to identify new biomarkers. Backing this claim for a perspective in clinical practice are recent discoveries that even seemingly subtle changes in the glycan structure of glycoproteins, such as a N-glycan core substitution by a single sugar moiety, have far-reaching functional consequences. They are brought about by altering the interplay between the glycan and (i) its carrier protein and (ii) specific receptors (lectins). Glycan attachment thus endows the protein with a molecular switch and new recognition sites. Co-ordinated regulation of glycan display and presentation of the cognate lectin, e.g. in cancer growth regulation exerted by a tumour suppressor, further exemplifies the broad functional dimension inherent to the non-random shifts in glycosylation. Thus studies on glycobiomarkers converge with research on how distinct carbohydrate determinants are turned into bioactive signals.

Multiple Signaling

Abstract The extracellular matrix is a network of secreted macromolecules that provides a harmonious meshwork for the growth and homeostatic development of organisms. It conveys multiple signaling cascades affecting specific surface receptors that impact cell behavior. During cancer growth, this bioactive meshwork is remodeled and enriched in newly formed blood vessels, which provide nutrients and oxygen to the growing tumor cells. Remodeling of the tumor microenvironment leads to the formation of bioactive fragments that may have a distinct function from their parent molecules, and the balance among these factors directly influence cell viability and metastatic progression. Indeed, the matrix acts as a gatekeeper by regulating the access of cancer cells to nutrients. Here, we will critically evaluate the role of selected matrix constituents in regulating tumor angiogenesis and provide up-to-date information concerning their primary mechanisms of action.
