Our previous work has shown that long-term treatment of mucus-secreting HT-29 cells with 1-benzyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (GalNAcalpha-O-bn), a competitive inhibitor of O-glycosylation, induced several phenotypic changes, in particular a blockade in the secretion of mucins, which are extensively O-glycosylated glycoproteins. Here, we have analyzed the effects of GalNAcalpha-O-bn upon the intracellular trafficking of basolateral and apical membrane glycoproteins at the cellular and biochemical levels in two types of cells, HT-29 G(-) and Caco-2, differentiated into an enterocyte-like phenotype. In HT-29 G(-) cells, but not in Caco-2 cells, DPP-IV and CD44 failed to be targeted to the apical or basolateral membrane, respectively, and accumulated inside intracytoplasmic vesicles together with GalNAcalpha-O-bn metabolites. We observed a strong inhibition of alpha2,3-sialylation of glycoproteins in HT-29 G(-) cells correlated to the high expression of alpha2,3-sialyltransferases ST3Gal I and ST3Gal IV. In these cells, DPP-IV and CD44 lost the sialic acid residue substituting the O-linked core 1 structure Galbeta1-3GalNAc (T-antigen). In contrast, sialylation was not modified in Caco-2 cells, but a decrease of alpha1,2-fucosylation was observed, in correlation with the high expression of alpha1,2-fucosyltransferases Fuc-TI and Fuc-TII. In conclusion, in HT-29 G(-) cells, GalNAcalpha-O-bn induces a specific cellular phenotype, which is morphologically characterized by the formation of numerous intracellular vesicles, in which are accumulated defectively sialylated O-glycosylproteins originally targeted to basolateral or apical membranes, and GalNAcalpha-O-bn metabolites.
