Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of N-glycosylation inhibition on the expression of neutral glycosphingolipids(N-GSLs)in cells. Methods The influence of tunicamycin on the expression of N-glycoprotein and N-GSLs in glioma cell line SWO-38 in vitro was studied. Results When incubated with tunicamycin 5ug/ml for more than eight hours,the cells' expression of N-glycoprotein and N-GSLs was inhibited. Conclusion At the time and concentration of N-glycosylation inhibitor influence on the expression of N-glycoprotein,it can also inhibit the expression of N-GSLs in cells.
