Background MUC2 mucin produced by colonic goblet cells, form a mucus bilayer that provides a physical barrier between potential pathogens in the lumen and the underlying epithelial cells. Mucus is thus the first line of innate host defense in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Many GI diseases including inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer affect the glycosylation of mucus. Goblet cells produce a variety of proteins that are associated with the mucus layer. Of these proteins, FCGBP is of significant interest due to its structural similarities to MUC2 mucin with unknown functions. In this study, we investigated if a missense mutation in FCGBP altered the glycosylation of goblet cell MUC2 and affected its barrier functions. Aims Aims: 1) To determine mechanistically how FCGBP impeded the structural integrity of the mucus layer 2) To quantify MUC2 glycoprotein modifications in the altered mucus layer Methods To investigate whether FCGBP impaired mucus barrier functions, two cell types were investigated: wildtype LS174T (WT) MUC2 mucus-producing goblet cells and LS174T cells with a missense mutation in FCGBP (FCGBP-Mut). To determine if FCGBP-Mut led to loss in barrier function in the mucus layer, the penetration of 0.2, 1, and 2 μm fluorescent beads (to mimic bacteria) through the mucus layer were quantified. To determine if the differences in penetrability were caused by differences in MUC2 glycosylation in the goblet cell lines, sensitive glycomic analyses were performed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). Both cells and purified MUC2 mucin granules were analyzed and confirmed by lectin binding assays. To enumerate differences in the glycomics profiles, RT-PCR was performed on over 30 human glycosyltransferases. Results FCGBP-Mut cells exhibited an altered glycomics profile with a significant increase in sialylated/fucosylated glycans as quantified by HPLC-MS and an increase in sialyl- ...
