IgG Glycosylation Profiling of Peripheral Artery Diseases with Lectin Microarray.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammation plays a key role in the progression of atherosclerotic plaque for peripheral artery disease (PAD). Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation could modulate immunological effector functions and has been explored as biomarkers for various diseases.

Methods

Lectin microarray was applied to analyze the expression profile of serum IgG glycosylation in patients with lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (LEPAD), carotid artery stenosis (CAS), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and healthy controls. Lectin blot was performed to validate the differences.

Results

SNA (Sambucus nigra agglutinin) binding (preferred sialic acid) was significantly higher in the LEPAD (3.21 ± 2.06) and AAA (3.34 ± 2.42) groups compared to the CAS (2.47 ± 1.45) group. Significan
