Glycosylation detection of carcinoembryonic antigen in human plasma

ABSTRACT: We develop a method with high sensitivity and reproducibility to comprehensively illustrated the glycosylation of plasma CEA based on trifunctional probe and multi-enzymatic approach. Site-specific glycoforms of plasma CEA differed in patients with different cancers and the progression of CRC.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) of human plasma is a biomarker of many cancer diseases, and its N-glycosylation accounts for 60% of molecular mass. It is highly desirable to characterize its glycoforms for providing additional dimension of features to increase its performance in prognosis and diagnosis of cancers. However, to systematically characterize its site-specific glycosylation is challenging because of its low abundance. Here, we developed a highly sensitive strategy for in-depth glycosyl ...[more]

Project description:Various cancers such as colorectal cancer (CRC) are associated with alterations in protein glycosylation. CRC cell lines are frequently used to study these (glyco)biological changes and their mechanisms. However, differences between CRC cell lines with regard to their glycosylation have hitherto been largely neglected. Here, we comprehensively characterized the N-glycan profiles of 25 different CRC cell lines, derived from primary tumors and metastatic sites, in order to investigate their potential as glycobiological tumor model systems and to reveal glycans associated with cell line phenotypes. We applied an optimized, high-throughput membrane-based enzymatic glycan release for small sample amounts. Released glycans were derivatized to stabilize and differentiate between a2,3- and a2,6-linked N-acetylneuraminic acids, followed by N-glycosylation analysis by MALDI-TOF(/TOF)-MS. Our results showed pronounced differences between the N-glycosylation patterns of CRC cell lines. CRC cell line profiles differed from tissue-derived N-glycan profiles with regard to their high-mannose N-glycan content but showed a large overlap for complex type N-glycans, supporting their use as a glycobiological cancer model system. Importantly, we could show that the high-mannose N-glycans did not only occur as intracellular precursors but were also present at the cell surface. The obtained CRC cell line N-glycan features were not clearly correlated with mRNA expression levels of glycosyltransferases, demonstrating the usefulness of performing the structural analysis of glycans. Finally, correlation of CRC cell line glycosylation features with cancer cell markers and phenotypes revealed an association between highly fucosylated glycans and CDX1 and/or villin mRNA expression that both correlate with cell differentiation. Together, our findings provide new insights into CRC-associated glycan changes and setting the basis for more in-depth experiments on glycan function and regulation.

Project description:Changes in IgG glycosylation have been reported to be associated with colorectal cancer (CRC), but the alteration in specific subclass of IgG is unknown. Herein, we optimized five common IgG glycopeptides enrichment methods to acquire comprehensive profiling of IgG glycoproteomics in CRC. Notably, incomplete tryptic digestion of IgG occurred when using ordinary ratio of protease to protein, which significantly impacted the final statistical analysis of association between IgG glycosylation and CRC. We introduced a method based on two-step enzymatic digestion, enabling the complete digestion of IgG glycopeptides and further improving the detection intensity of the target glycopeptides. By this approach, total 47 IgG glycopeptides can be identified by nanoLC-ESI-MS/MS. Following rapid and automatic data processing through the self-developed program, we observed that IgG1_H3N4F1 and IgG1_H3N4 were substantially increased in CRC, while IgG1_H5N5F1, IgG1_H5N4F1S1and IgG2_H5N4F1 were markedly decreased. Strikingly, these four glycopeptides were continually significantly changed in early and late stages of CRC. Further evaluation of the diagnostic performance showed they all obtained a fair performance in discriminating the patients from the normal. In terms of the glycan features, it demonstrated that CRC progression associates with the increased agalactosylation, and the decreased digalactosylation and galactosylation per antenna on diantennay glycans of IgG1 and IgG2. Concurrently, the decreased sialylation of IgG1 was strongly correlated with CRC. Moreover, tumor-specific glycosylation analysis showed that the alterations of subclass-specific IgG glycosylation were more significant in colon cancer, and no obvious difference between colon and rectal cancer was found. More importantly, all these findings were validated in an independent cohort. This two-step enzymatic approach is crucial to explore the relationship between the disease progression and IgG glycosylation.
