Abstract 한글 요약
A key function of naturally occurring antibodies is to control pathologically altered cells, such as those with aberrant glycosylation. Age-related diminution in the pool of B cells producing these immunoglobulins is linked to impaired anti-tumor immunity. In this study, the levels of antibodies against tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs)-common in gastric cancer (GC) and other malignancies-were analyzed in 235 treatment-naïve GC patients (stages I-IV) and 76 healthy donors using a printed glycan array (PGA). We found that anti-glycan IgM levels, but not IgG, reduced with age in both patients and donors. Crucially, IgM levels against most glycans were significantly lower in the GC cohort compared with healthy donors, a trend that remained after age adjustment. Furthermore, an immunohistochemical analysis revealed that human anti-GalNAcα (Tn) antibodies-a well-characterized TACA in gastrointestinal cancers-bound to tumor cells and exhibited perinuclear and membrane staining in non-tumor surface cells within the same organ. These data support the hypothesis that gastric cancer patients have reduced levels of anti-glycan IgMs, which are responsible for the early recognition of transformed cells. This specific immunodeficiency may contribute to a permissive environment for tumor development.
