Core 2 β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases accelerate the escape of choriocarcinoma from natural killer cell immunity.

Hyperglycosylated human chorionic gonadotropin (H-hCG) is secreted from choriocarcinoma and contains a core2 O-glycan formed by core2 β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase (C2GnT). Choriocarcinoma is considered immunogenic as it is gestational and contains paternal chromosomal components. Here we examined the function of C2GnT in the evasion of choriocarcinoma cells from natural killer (NK) cell-mediating killing. We determined that C2GnT is highly expressed in malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasms. C2GnT KO downregulates core2 O-glycan expression in choriocarcinoma cells, which are more efficiently killed by NK cells than control cells. C2GnT KO cell containing tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand have lower viability than control cells. Additionally, poly-N-acetyllactosamine in core2 branched oligosaccharides on MHC class I-related chain A (MICA) and mucin1 (MUC1) is significantly reduced in C2GnT KO cells. Meanwhile, the cumulative survival rate of nude mice inoculated with C2GnT KO tumors was higher than that of the control group. These findings suggest that choriocarcinoma cells may escape NK cell-mediated killing via glycosylation of MICA and MUC1.
