[Our recent results on cancer-associated glycans, sialyl Lewis A and sialyl Lewis X, indicated that the repressed transcription of some glycan genes by epigenetic silencing during early carcinogenesis, and the transcriptional induction of some other glycan genes by tumor hypoxia accompanying cancer progression at locally advanced stages, are two major factors determining cancer-associated glycan expression.].
