Poly (alpha 2,8-deaminoneuraminic acid) is expressed in lung on a single 150-kDa glycoprotein and is an oncodevelopmental antigen (original) (raw)

Abstract

Homopolymers of alpha 2,8-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid [poly(alpha 2,8-Neu5Ac)] of the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM have been shown to be temporally expressed during lung development and represent a marker for small cell lung carcinoma. We report the presence of a further polysialic acid in lung that consists of oligo/polymers of alpha 2,8-linked deaminoneuraminic acid residues [poly (alpha 2,8-KDN)], as detected with a monoclonal antibody in conjunction with a specific sialidase. Although the various cell types forming the bronchi, alveolar septs, and blood vessels were positive for poly (alpha 2,8-KDN) by immunohistochemistry, this polysialic acid was found on a single 150-kDa glycoprotein by immunoblot analysis. The poly(alpha 2,8-KDN)-bearing glycoprotein was not related to an NCAM protein based on immunochemical criteria. The expression of the poly (alpha 2,8-KDN) was developmentally regulated as evidenced by its gradual disappearance in the rat lung parenchyma commencing 1 week after birth. In adult lung the blood vessel endothelia and the smooth muscle fibers of both blood vessels and bronchi were positive but not the bronchial and alveolar epithelium. The poly (alpha 2,8-KDN)-bearing 150-kDa glycoprotein became reexpressed in various histological types of lung carcinomas and cell lines derived from them and represents a new oncodevelopmental antigen in lung.
