An Emerging Role of N-glycosylation in Cancer Chemoresistance
Carbohydrate research(2024)
摘要
Chemoresistance poses a significant obstacle in the effective treatment of cancer, limiting the success of chemotherapy regimens. N-glycosylation, the most important post-translational modification (PTM), plays multifaceted roles in the intricate landscape of cancer progression, particularly drug resistance in cancer cells. This review explores the complex relationship between N-glycosylation and chemoresistance in cancer. Altered glycosylation patterns have been proven to impact drug efflux mechanisms in cancer cells, which can further influence the intracellular concentration of chemotherapy drugs. Moreover, N-glycosylation also plays a regulatory role in cell signaling pathways and apoptosis regulators, continuously affecting the stemness and survival of cancer cells under the selective pressure of chemotherapy. Additionally, the impact of the tumor microenvironment on glycosylation patterns adds complexity to this interplay. This review discusses current research findings, challenges, and future directions based on the roles of N-glycosylation in cancer chemoresistance, emphasizing the potential for targeted therapeutic interventions to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and improve patient outcomes.
