LC-MS/MS Quantitation of HILIC-Enriched N-glycopeptides Derived from Low-Abundance Serum Glycoproteins in Patients with Narcolepsy Type 1.

ABSTRACT: Glycoproteomic analysis is always challenging because of low abundance and complex site-specific heterogeneity. Glycoproteins are involved in various biological processes such as cell signaling, adhesion, and cell-cell communication and may serve as potential biomarkers when analyzing different diseases. Here, we investigate glycoproteins in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) disease, a form of narcolepsy characterized by cataplexy-the sudden onset of muscle paralysis that is typically triggered by intense emotions. In this study, 27 human blood serum samples were analyzed, 16 from NT1 patients and 11 from healthy individuals serving as controls. We quantified hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)-enriched glycopeptides from low-abundance serum samples of controls and NT1 patients via
