N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V (GnT-V) has been reported to be up-regulated in invasive/metastatic cancer cells, but a comprehensive understanding of how the transferase correlates with the invasive/metastatic potential is not currently available. Through a glycomics approach, we identified 30 proteins, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), as a target protein for GnT-V in human colon cancer cell WiDr. TIMP-1 was aberrantly glycosylated as characterized by the addition of β1,6-N-acetylglucosamine, polylactosaminylation, and sialylation in GnT-V-overexpressing WiDr cells. Compared with normal TIMP-1, the aberrantly glycosylated TIMP-1 showed the weaker inhibition on both matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9, and this aberrancy was closely associated with cancer cell invasion and metastasis in vivo as well as in vitro. Integrated data, both of TIMP-1 expression level and aberrant glycosylation, could provide important information to aid to improve the clinical outcome of colon cancer patients.
