In mammalian cells, SLC35A2 delivers UDP–galactose for galactosylation reactions that take place predominantly in the Golgi lumen. Mutations in the corresponding gene cause a subtype of a congenital disorder of glycosylation (SLC35A2-CDG). Although more and more patients are diagnosed with SLC35A2-CDG, the link between defective galactosylation and disease symptoms is not fully understood. According to a number of reports, impaired glycosylation may trigger the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We therefore examined whether the loss of SLC35A2 activity would promote EMT in a non-malignant epithelial cell line. For this purpose, we knocked out the SLC35A2 gene in Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The resulting clones adopted an elongated, spindle-shaped morphology and showed impaired cell–cell adhesion. Using qPCR and western blotting, we revealed down-regulation of E-cadherin in the knockouts, while the fibronectin and vimentin levels were elevated. Moreover, the knockout cells displayed reorganization of vimentin intermediate filaments and altered subcellular distribution of a vimentin-binding protein, formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (FTCD). Furthermore, depletion of SLC35A2 triggered Golgi compaction. Finally, the SLC35A2 knockouts displayed increased motility and invasiveness. In conclusion, SLC35A2-deficient MDCK cells showed several hallmarks of EMT. Our findings point to a novel role for SLC35A2 as a gatekeeper of the epithelial phenotype.
