Abstract:

BACKGROUND: As one of the important post-translation modifications, the protein glycosylation inhere in the biosome extensively, and its synthetize process is influenced by the surroundings of the cells.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the study on the protein glycosylation with the immune reaction under hypoxia developed in the bacteria, virus and tumors infecting, so as to discuss the mechanism of the protein glycosylation with the immune reaction in the plateau hypoxia.
METHODS: PubMed database between January 1988 and January 2019 was retrieved for relevant articles on the effect of glycosylation induced by bacteria, virus and tumors. The keywords were “protein glycosylation, immune reaction, hypoxia”. Finally 61 articles eligible for inclusion and exclusion criteria were included for result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In recent years, hypoxia has been shown to cause the changes of glycosylation in organism or cells, and moreover can change the biologic activity of protein. Protein glycosylation modification plays an important role in the virus infection, virus particle formation and immune escape. Lack of oxygen and increased sugar intake lead to glycolysis in the progress of tumor cells, and elevated blood glucose levels induce non-enzymatic glycosylation or saccharification, further resulting in the accumulation of advanced glycosylation product. Plateau environment of oxygen is the basis of airframe damage, can lead to a series of diseases, and whether glycosylation change is involved needs to be investigated in depth.

Key words: protein glycosylation, immune reaction, hypoxia, bacteria, virus, tumor
