Enzymatic basis for changes in fucoganglioside during chemical carcinogenesis. Induction of a specific alpha-fucosyltransferase and status of an alpha-galactosyltransferase in precancerous rat liver and hepatoma.

Previous studies indicated that accumulation of alpha-fucosyl-GM1 (IV2FucII3NeuAcGgOse4Cer) and alpha-galactosyl-alpha-fucosyl-GM1 (IV3GalIV2FucII3NeuAcGgOse4Cer) occurs in precancerous livers of rats fed the chemical carcinogen N-2-acetylaminofluorene, before development of hepatoma. Both fucogangliosides were completely absent in normal rat liver as well as in livers of rats fed a nonhepatic carcinogen and tumor promoters (Holmes, E.H., and Hakomori, S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 7698-7703). The enzymatic basis of the chemical changes described above is reported in this paper. The alpha-L-fucosyltransferase activity toward GM1 (II2NeuAcGgOse4Cer) as well as asialo-GM1 (GgOse4Cer) was almost undetectable in extracts from normal rat liver, but significant activity of this enzyme was detected in extracts of rat livers after 4 weeks of feeding a diet containing N-2-acetylaminofluorene. The same enzyme activity in cultured rat hepatoma cells was 18- to 47-fold higher than in N-2-acetylaminofluorene-fed rat liver. In contrast, alpha-galactosyltransferase activity with a broad substrate specificity was detected in normal as well as in N-2-acetylaminofluorene-fed liver, although the specific activity of this enzyme in Golgi membranes in precancerous liver was significantly higher than that of normal rat liver. Thus, the appearance of alpha-fucosyl-alpha-galactosyl-GMI in precancerous liver is due to an induction of synthesis of alpha-fucosyl-GMI which is the substrate for the normally existing alpha-galactosyltransferase. The activity of alpha-fucosyltransferase was highly specific toward a substrate structure Gal beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc beta 1 leads to R in GMI or asialo-GMI and showed an anomalous inhibition by a large variety of detergents tested. In contrast, the alpha-galactosyltransferase showed a wide substrate specificity, activated by detergents and Mn2+ ion. Membrane alterations in precancerous and malignant transformation of rat liver is associated with an induction of an unusual alpha-fucosyltransferase which is the key step in synthesis of both fucogangliosides.
