Abstract

The ability to distinguish malignant from indolent prostate cancer cells is critically important for identification of clinically significant prostate cancer to minimize unnecessary overtreatment and sufferings endured by patients who have indolent cancer. Recently, we discovered that loss of giantin function as the primary Golgi targeting site for endoplasmic reticulum-derived transport vesicles in aggressive prostate cancer cells caused a shift of the Golgi localization site of α-mannosidase 1A to 130 KDa Golgi matrix protein (GM130)-65 KDa Golgi reassembly-stacking protein (GRASP65) site resulting in emergence of high mannose N-glycans on trans-Golgi enzymes and cell surface glycoproteins. To extend this observation, we isolated two cell clones (Clone 1 and Clone 2) from high passage LNCaP cells, which exhibited androgen refractory property missing in low passage LNCaP cells, and characterized their malignant property. We have found that comparing to Clone 2, which does not have cell surface high mannose N-glycans and exhibits localization of α-mannosidase 1A at giantin site, Clone 1 displays cell surface high mannose N-glycans, exhibits localization of α-mannosidase 1A at GM130-GRASP65 site, and shows a faster rate of closing the wound in a wound healing assay. The results indicate that Golgi localization of α-mannosidase 1A at GM130-GRASP65 site and appearance of cell surface high mannose N-glycans may serve as markers of malignant prostate cancer cells.
