Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of the expression levels of N -glycans and related glycosyltransferases between WT and WT/NaBu cells . The same amounts of cell lysates from WT and NaBu-induced K562 cells were subjected to 7.5% SDS-PAGE gel and stained with various lectins to assess glycosylation changes, such as E4-PHA ( A ), DSA ( B ), L4-PHA ( C ), LCA ( D ), MAA ( E ), and SNA ( F ) lectins, which preferentially recognizes the bisecting GlcNAc, GlcNAcβ1,4 mannosyl-, GlcNAcβ1,6 mannosyl-, α1,6 fucose, α2,3 sialylated, and α2,6 sialylated N -glycans, respectively. α-Tubulin was used as a loading control. G , expression levels of bisected N -glycans on the cell surface were detected by flow cytometry using E4-PHA lectin. H , mRNA levels of several N -acetylglucosaminyltransferases involved in the synthesis of GlcNAc branched N -glycans were determined using qPCR. GAPDH was used as an internal control, and values were normalized to WT cells without NaBu (set as 1.0). Statistical significance was assessed using the unpaired Student’s t test, with p values indicated as ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, or denoted as no significance (ns).
