Membrane glycopeptides were examined in human colonic adenocarcinoma and normal colonic mucosa. The carbohydrates of membrane glycopeptides were found to be markedly reduced in tumor tissue and the relative proportions of the various sugars were altered. Although all of the sugars were lower in tumor tissue when compared to the adjacent normal mucosa, galactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid were more significantly reduced. Examination of the blood group activity and lectin-binding properties of membrane glycopeptides revealed that specific carbohydrate structures had changed in the tumor tissue. Most striking of these changes was the disappearance of glycoprotein-associated blood group A activity. Assay of the enzyme responsible for synthesis of the blood group A determinant showed that this glycosyltransferase activity was greatly diminished in tumor tissue. A galactosyltransferase and a fucosyltransferase were also significantly lower in the tumor tissue whereas the levels of another galactosyltransferase and a sialyltransferase were unaltered. Glycosidase activities in the normal and tumor tissues were similar. The results show that an alteration in glycoprotein biosynthesis occurred during tumorigenesis that resulted in a modified membrane glycoprotein composition and that these changes are probably a reflection of reduced levels of the enzymes responsible for glycoprotein synthesis.
