In this study, an enzymatic inactive mutant of GnT-V (Delta cGnT-V) was constructed and transfected in SMMC 7721 cell line. Integrin beta 1 in Delta cGnT-V transfectants (Delta c-7721) showed attenuation of the number of beta 1-6 GlcNAc branching, whereas those in wtGnT-V transfectants (wt-7721) presented a beta 1-6 GlcNAc-rich pattern. High integrin beta 1 expression was observed in wt-7721 compared with mock cells (7721 cell transfected with the vector pcDNA3), while transfection of Delta cGnT-V decreased the integrin beta 1 expression, despite of no significant changes on integrin beta 1 mRNA level in these cell lines. Pulse-chase experiment showed that Integrin beta 1 in Delta c-7721 was prone to quick degradation and its half-life was less than 3 h, on the contrary, the alleviating degradation of beta 1 subunit was observed in wt-7721 where the beta 1 subunit half-life was about 16 h, meanwhile, the degradation rate of beta 1 subunit in mock cells was in between, about 10 h. More effective in promoting cell migration toward fibronectin and invasion through Matrigel was observed in wt-7721 while this was almost suppressed in Delta c-7721. Our results suggest that the addition of beta 1-6 GlcNAc branching caused more fully glycosylated mature form on integrin beta 1 and inhibited beta 1 protein degradation. Glycosylation caused by GnT-V directs integrin beta 1 stability and more delivery to plasma membrane, subsequently promotes Fn-based cell migration and invasion.
