Figure 5 Glycosylation of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 in colorectal cancer. The main form in colorectal cancer tissues is the glycosylated 72 kDa protein. This glycosylated prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) is also expressed in several tumor colonic cell lines and can be deglycosylated after incubation of the cells with glucosamine or tunikamycin. After this treatment, PTGS2 is rapidly degraded via proteasomal activity. CRC: Colorectal cancer; PTGS: Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase.
