    Abstract The study objective was to determine the relationship of selected enzyme activities with carbon sequestration and N, P, K, Mg, Zn and Cu contents in Phaeozem soils. Soil samples were taken from a 10 ha area. A selection of their physical and chemical properties and the contents of the available forms of selected macro- and microelements were determined. The activities of dehydrogenases (DEH), catalase (CAT), peroxidases (PER), alkaline (AlP) and acid (AcP) phosphatase, β-glucosidase (BG) and proteases (PR) were also determined. The relationship between enzymatic soil fertility indices (AlP/AcP, BIF, GMea, TEI, BA12 and BA13) and selected soil parameters was also determined. The research used principal component analysis (PCA) to distinguish significantly correlated parameters of a Phaeozem used for agricultural purposes. The study area showed low TOC and K contents and average P and Mg contents. Significant positive correlations were found between the TOC content and activity of the tested enzymes, evidencing that soil enzymes are an important parameter in carbon sequestration and soil nutrient dynamics.

    Abstract Although both uveal (UM) and cutaneous (CM) melanoma cells derive from the transformed melanocytes, their biology varies significantly in several aspects. Malignant transformation is frequently associated with alternations in cell glycosylation, in particular those concerning branched complex-type N-glycans. These changes occur principally in β1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III) that catalyzes the synthesis of glycans with bisected N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) that is involved in forming β1,6-branched antenna in complex-type glycans. We searched for the reasons of a different behavior of CM and UM cells in the expression of GnT-III and GnT-V and their oligosaccharide products. Our study showed that UM cells have more β1,6-branched glycans than CM cells, what results from a higher expression of MGAT5 gene encoding GnT-V. The higher β1,6-branching of glycans in UM may contribute to their higher potential to migrate on fibronectin and weaker binding to main extracellular matrix proteins, observed in our previous studies.

    Abstract N-glycosylation of integrins plays an important role in cancer progression. Increased αvβ3 integrin expression during melanoma progression is well-documented but the role of its glycans in tumorigenesis is still poorly understood. In the present study we used the WM793 primary melanoma cell line and its highly metastatic variant, WM1205Lu, to examine αvβ3 glycosylation. Lectin precipitation, enzyme digestion and the use of swainsonine (SW) showed that αvβ3 integrin glycosylation differs significantly between primary and metastatic melanoma cells. High-mannose structures and complex glycans with bisecting N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) were more abundant in both subunits of primary cells. We also observed a shift in the sialylation of αvβ3 integrin related to reduction of α2-6-linked sialic acid expression and an increase of α2-3 sialylation of both subunits in melanoma progression. Metastatic melanoma migration on vitronectin (VN) was reduced in the presence of antibody against αvβ3 and the lectins phytohemagglutinin-L (PHA-L), Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA) and Maackia amurensis (MAA) in woundhealing assays. Our results show that the acquisition of metastatic competence by melanoma cells is accompanied by alteration of αvβ3 integrin glycosylation and that both αvβ3 and β1-6-branched sialylated complex-type N-glycans promote metastatic melanoma migration on VN.

    Abstract Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are the most common group of autoimmune diseases, associated with lymphocyte infiltration and the production of thyroid autoantibodies, like thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), in the thyroid gland. Immunoglobulins and cell-surface receptors are glycoproteins with distinctive glycosylation patterns that play a structural role in maintaining and modulating their functions. We investigated associations of total circulating IgG and peripheral blood mononuclear cells glycosylation with AITD and the influence of genetic background in a case-control study with several independent cohorts and over 3,000 individuals in total. The study revealed an inverse association of IgG core fucosylation with TPOAb and AITD, as well as decreased peripheral blood mononuclear cells antennary α1,2 fucosylation in AITD, but no shared genetic variance between AITD and glycosylation. These data suggest that the decreased level of IgG core fucosylation is a risk factor for AITD that promotes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity previously associated with TPOAb levels.
