Intracellular inhibition of blood group A glycosyltransferase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report the intracellular inhibition of blood group A N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase in the human colorectal carcinoma cell line HT29 by 3-amino-3-deoxy-[Fucalpha(1-2)]Galbeta-O(CH2)7CH3. Inhibition was demonstrated with a novel capillary electrophoresis assay that monitored decreased intracellular conversion of fluorescently labelled Fucalpha(1-2)Gal-R acceptor to the corresponding A epitope, GalNAcalpha(1-3)[Fucalpha(1-2)]Galbeta-R. Growth of HT29 cells with either the amino-inhibitor or a competitive substrate, Fucalpha(1-2)Galbeta-O(CH2)7CH3, also resulted in decreased expression of blood group A determinants on cell-associated glycoproteins, as detected by immunoprecipitation analysis using A-specific monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, exposure of these cells to the amino-inhibitor or competitive substrate resulted in significant reduction of cell-surface expression of blood group A determinants. As integrin alpha3beta1, a cell-surface receptor mediating cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions, was shown previously to be a major carrier of blood group A determinants on HT29 cells, the studies described herein highlight the potential usefulness of these compounds for elucidating the role of blood group A determinants in biological phenomena.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
