| Abstract | The tyrosine kinase activity associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been a target in studies of pharmacological reagents to inhibit growth of cancer cells, which are mostly of epidermal origin. Lyso-GM3 dimer showed stronger inhibitory effect on the tyrosine kinase of EGFR than GM3, with minimal cytotoxicity [Y. Murozuka, et al. Lyso-GM3, its dimer, and multimer: their synthesis, and their effect on epidermal growth factor-induced receptor tyrosine kinase. Glycoconj. J. 24 (2007) 551-563]. Synthesis of lipids with sphingosine requires many steps, and the yield is low. A biocombinatory approach overcame this difficulty; however, products required a C(12) aliphatic chain, rather than the sphingosine head group [Y. Murozuka, et al. Efficient sialylation on azidododecyl lactosides by using B16 melanoma cells. Chemistry & Biodiversity 2 (2005) 1063-1078]. The present study was to clarify the effects of these lipid mimetics of GM3 and lyso-GM3 dimer on EGFR tyrosine kinase activity, and consequent changes of the A431 cell phenotype, as follows. (i) A lipid mimetic of lyso-GM3 dimer showed similar strong inhibitory effect on EGF-induced EGFR tyrosine kinase activity, and similar low cytotoxicity, as the authentic lyso-GM3 dimer. (ii) A lipid mimetic of lyso-GM3 dimer inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR or its dimer to a level similar to that of the authentic lyso-GM3 dimer, but more strongly than GM3 or a lipid mimetic of GM3. (iii) Associated with the inhibitory effect of a lipid mimetic of lyso-GM3 dimer on EGF-induced EGFR kinase activity, only Akt kinase activity was significantly inhibited, but kinases associated with other signal transducers were not affected. (iv) The cell cycle of A431 cells, and the effects of GM3 and a lipid mimetic of lyso-GM3 dimer, were studied by flow cytometry, measuring the rate of DNA synthesis with propidium iodide. Fetal bovine serum greatly enhanced S phase and G(2)/M phase. Enhanced G(2)/M phase was selectively inhibited by pre-incubation of A431 cells with a lipid mimetic of lyso-GM3 dimer, whereas GM3 had only a minimal effect. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
