New research on gene therapy from K.S. Lau and co-authors summarized

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, November 6th, 2008

According to recent research published in the journal Proteomics, "Metabolite flux to UDP-GlcNAc and Golgi N-glycan biosynthesis regulates surface residency of glycoprotein receptors and transporters, and thus sensitivities of cells to extracellular cues. Salvage of GlcNAc increases UDP-GlcNAc and branching of N-glycans progressively, but displays an optimum for cell proliferation and bulk endocytosis in mouse NMuMG and human HEK293T epithelial cells."

"In this report, we measured global changes in gene expression in low and high GlcNAc-supplemented cells. Genes upregulated by high GlcNAc included the EGF and TGF-beta signaling pathways and cell cycle checkpoint,...
