Comparative glycoproteomic profiling of human body fluid between healthy controls and patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer among women worldwide. It is confirmed mainly by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), an invasive diagnostic method. The key proteins responsible for thyroid hormone biosynthesis are glycosylated. Changes in site-specific glycosylation are associated with thyroid cancer. Integrated quantitative proteomic and glycoproteomic analyses of body fluids from patients with PTC may identify potential noninvasive biomarkers, improve diagnostic accuracy, and elucidate the basic mechanisms of tumor development. In the present study, we demonstrated a novel integrated method of body fluid proteome and glycoproteome analysis. We showed that it is highly reproducible and fast. It may also quantitatively profile protein glycosylation. Intact N-glycopeptides from the urine and plasma of healthy controls (HC), PTC, and PTC with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (PHT) were enriched by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. Sialic acid was removed from the N-glycopeptides with trifluoroacetic acid and heat. The desialo-N-glycopeptides were analyzed by HCD-MS/MS using stepped collision energies and several search engines for quantitative profiling. Ninety-two altered proteins and 134 intact N-glycopeptides were isolated from the plasma and urine samples of the three groups (90 samples from 15 subjects). To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to compare the plasma and urinary proteomes and glycoproteomes of HC, PTC, and PHT. Moreover, we revealed a novel indicator (ratio of fucosylated to non-fucosylated N-glycopeptide or F/NF) through desialo-N-glycopeptide analysis. These differently expressed glycoproteins and F/NF may serve as biomarkers contributing to clinical cancer diagnostics and could be used to improve diagnostic accuracy noninvasively.

Project description:Large-scale identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides by liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in human serum is challenging due to the wide dynamic range of serum protein abundances, the lack of a complete serum N-Glycan database and the existence of non-specifically digested peptides and numerous modifications. In this regard, a spectral library search method was presented for serum N-linked intact glycopeptides identification with target-decoy and motif-specific false discovery rate (FDR) control. Low-abundant glycoproteins were firstly separated from high-abundant proteins by acetonitrile (ACN) precipitation. After digestion, the N-linked intact glycopeptides were enriched by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column and a portion of the enriched N-linked intact glycopeptides were processed by N-Glycosidase F (PNGase F) to generate de-glycopeptides. Both N-linked intact glycopeptides and de-glycopeptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. From N-linked de-glycopeptides datasets, 764 N-linked glycoproteins, 1,699 N-linked glycosites and 3,328 unique N-linked de-glycopeptides were identified. The spectra of these N-linked de-glycopeptides were utilized for N-linked de-glycopeptides library construction and identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides. Four types of N-linked glycosylation motifs (NXS/T/C/V, X≠P) were used to recognize the N-linked de-glycopeptides, and two different N-Glycan mass databases including 27 modified N-Glycan masses and 712 unmodified N-Glycan masses were combined and utilized during spectral library search for identification of N-linked intact glycopeptides. In total, from the N-linked intact glycopeptides datasets, 526 N-linked glycoproteins, 1,036 N-linked glycosites, 22,677 N-linked intact glycopeptides and 738 N-Glycan masses were identified under 1% FDR, representing the most in-depth serum N-glycoproteome identified by LC-MS/MS at N-linked intact glycopeptide level and N-linked de-glycopeptides level.

Project description:The most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) is caused by pathogenic variants in PMM2 (PMM2-CDG) that reduce phosphomannomutase activity and impair N-glycan synthesis. Patients present early in life with multi-system disabilities. Traditional diagnosis relies on measuring carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) and confirmation by genetic testing. However, tests for CDT can be normal in some patients, or normalize with age. Because patients also show subtle alterations in serum glycan structures, we considered that site-specific glycosylation changes might be diagnostic. We analyzed serum from 35 individuals with PMM2-CDG for discovery and validation of glycoproteomic changes. We carried out mass spectrometry-based discovery studies to profile the glycoproteome in an initial set of well-characterized affected individuals and matched controls. Next, we developed a streamlined method for analyzing additional affected individuals. Finally, targeted mass spectrometry was used to validate selected N-glycopeptides in an independent set of samples in a blinded fashion. Of the 3,342 N-glycopeptides derived from 284 glycoproteins identified in discovery experiments, individuals with PMM2-CDG exhibited a general decrease in complex-type N-glycans and an increase in truncated, mannose-rich and hybrid species. We identified a glycopeptide from complement C4 carrying the glycan Man5GlcNAc2, which was not detected in controls. Notably, this glycopeptide was also detected in five affected individuals with normal CDT, including one individual after liver transplant, two individuals with a known genetic variant associated with mild disease and two individuals with well characterized variants, indicating that this glycopeptide is more sensitive than CDT. Finally, this marker was also detected by targeted analysis in two individuals with variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in PMM2 gene. Overall, we believe that C4-derived Man5GlcNAc2 glycopeptide could serve as a novel next-generation biomarker for more accurate diagnosis and tracking progress of patients in therapeutic trials.
