Core 2 and Core 4 O-glycan chains participate in adhesion and invasion of E.coli to intestinal epithelial cells in vitro
Objective To determine the effect of mucin type Core 2 and Core 4 O-glycans on the E.coli adhesion and invasion to intestinal epithelial cells. Methods Colon cancer epithelial HT-29 cells were transfected with shRNA-C2GnT-2 interfering plasmid and shRNA-Ctr control plasmid
respectively. A stably-transfected cell line was established by G418 screening. C2GnT-2 interfering
efficiency was confirmed by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The stably-transfected cell line having best interfering effects was incubated with enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC) or enterohemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC O157∶H7). Serial dilution cloning counting was applied to evaluate the effects of Core 2 and Core 4 O-glycan deficiency on E.coli adhesion and invasion to intestinal epithelial cells. Results The shRNA-C2GnT-2 and shRNA-Ctr stably-transfected HT-29 cells were obtained by screening with G418. Real-time PCR and Western blot results displayed that C2GnT-2 interfering could effectively inhibit C2GnT-2 expression in HT-29 cells at both mRNA and protein levels (

0.01). Adhesion of EPEC or EHEC O157∶H7 to shRNA-C2GnT-2/HT-29 cells was significantly decreased as compared to shRNA-Ctr/HT-29 or HT-29 cells (

while the numbers of EPEC or EHEC O157∶H7 invaded into the shRNA-C2GnT-2/HT-29 cells were significantly higher than those into shRNA-Ctr/HT-29 or HT-29 cells (
