The presence of blood group A-active glycolipids in cancer tissues from blood group O patients. 1981

H Hattori, and K Uemura, and T Taketomi

Glycolipids were isolated from human gastric cancer tissues and normal mucosae. Sulfogalactosylceramide, ganglioside and neutral glycolipid fractions were separated by DEAE-Sephadex and silica gel column chromatography. Sulfogalactosylceramide contents were higher in the cancer tissues than in the normal mucosae. Ganglioside contents showed considerable variations but in the cancer tissues in mole percentage of ganglioside GM3 was higher than in the normal mucosae. The cancer tissues contained more neutral glycolipids than normal tissues. Glycolipids of lacto-series, including fucolipids, were markedly increased in the cancer tissues. Blood group A-active glycolipids were found in the cancer tissues from two patients with blood group O but not found in the uninvolved tissue associated with the cancer tissue.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D006017 Glycolipids Any compound containing one or more monosaccharide residues bound by a glycosidic linkage to a hydrophobic moiety such as an acylglycerol (see GLYCERIDES), a sphingoid, a ceramide (CERAMIDES) (N-acylsphingoid) or a prenyl phosphate. (From IUPAC's webpage) Glycolipid
D006028 Glycosphingolipids Lipids containing at least one monosaccharide residue and either a sphingoid or a ceramide (CERAMIDES). They are subdivided into NEUTRAL GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS comprising monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylsphingoids and monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylceramides; and ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS which comprises sialosylglycosylsphingolipids (GANGLIOSIDES); SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS (formerly known as sulfatides), glycuronoglycosphingolipids, and phospho- and phosphonoglycosphingolipids.

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
