Cancer is one of serious human diseases that cause angiogenesis, metastasis, and abnormal cell divisions including genetic change. Thus, lots of researchers have been investigated to inhibit cancer. Human 90K (h90K) protein has very crucial role for inhibition of cancer metastasis. h90K is a glycoprotein having potential 7 N-glycosylation sites (4 sites are clear but remaining 3 sites are not yet). In the present work, we performed expression of recombinant h90K glycoprotein in insect Drosophila S2 cell system. We constructed stably-transfected S2-h90K cells by antibiotic selection and confirmed h90K expression using Western blot and in vitro bioactivity analyses. We found that recombinant h90K has anti-cancer activity. We also identified N-glycan patterns of recombinant h90K glycoprotein using HPLC and MALDI-TOF MS. Based on the identified N-glycan structures, we next engineered N-glycosylation pathway to develop advanced N-glycan patterns using multiple expression platform strategy with recombinant baculoviruses. We found that infection with recombinant baculovirus having galactosyltransferase resulted in advancement of bi-antennary galactosyl form of N-glycans in recombinant h90K glycoprotein.
