Abstract excerpt
The TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) triggers apoptosis in cells by signaling through the O-glycosylated death receptors (DR4 and DR5), but the sensitivity to TRAIL-induced apoptosis of cells varies, and the attributes of this phenomenon are complex. Human carcinoma cells often express truncated O-glycans, Tn (GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr), and Sialyl-Tn (Siaα2-6GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr, STn) on their surface...
