The impact of this unique glycan under-sulfating mutation on inhibiting early Kras G12D mutant bronchocentric adenoma formation along with a cellular phenotype of inhibited tumor infiltration by cells involved in suppressive T-regulatory cell signaling (FOXP3+ cells) or tumor-permissive M2 macrophage functions (CD163+ cells) provides insight on how glycan targeting may modulate innate cellular mechanisms during early lung tumor development. This evidence concerns the gene CD163 and adenoma.
