Deconstructing the regulation of protein, cellular origin and tumour grade-specific N and O-glycosylation associated with prostate cancer progression

ABSTRACT: Glycobiology plays a central role in prostate cancer (PCa), as evidenced by the aberrant glycosylation in PCa-derived glycoproteins. Understanding the protein glycosylation changes underling PCa onset and progression may open opportunities for the discovery of novel biomarkers for PCa detection and stratification as well as targets for PCa metastasis. Advances in mass spectrometry-based glycomics and glycoproteomics have opened up exciting avenues for deep characterisation of the immensely, yet poorly understood complex glycoproteome. In this study, we have used integrated glycomics and glycoproteomics to explore the protein, cell and tumour-grade specific N- and O- glycosylation signatures in surgically-removed fresh PCa tissues grouped into five PCa disease grades and tissues from benign prostatic hyperplasia patients (BPH). Porous graphitised carbon–liquid chromatography (PGC–LC)-MS/MS analysis was used to profile the N-and O-glycome, revealing PCa grade specific N and O glycosylation changes, including oligomannosidic and paucimannosidic, bisecting-GlcNAc and highly branched tri- and tetra-antennary fucosylated and sialylated N-glycans as well as sialylated core 1 and 2 type O-glycans. High resolution LC-MS/MS was then employed to capture the micro and macroheterogeneity of 1,085 N-glycosites (>7,400 unique N-glycopeptides) from 540 N-glycoproteins and 360 O-glycosites (>500 unique O-glycopeptides) from 178 O-glycoproteins and reveal protein and cell specific N- and O- glycosylation changes associated with PCa progression. We also showed PCa grade-specific increase in the expression of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) subunits that correlate with changes in the site occupancy of N-glycoproteins. In conclusion, this study shows that integrated glycomics and glycoproteomics can provide unprecedented insight into key molecular features and site-specific glycan heterogeneity contributing to the highly diverse tumour-microenvironment and allow us to deconstruct the regulation of the protein, cell and tumour-grade-specific glycosylation associated with PCa onset and development.

The complexity and dynamics of the immensely heterogeneous glycoproteome of the prostate cancer (PCa) tumor microenvironment remain incompletely mapped, a knowledge gap that impedes our molecular-level understanding of the disease. To this end, we have used sensitive glycomics and glycoproteomics to map the protein-, cell-, and tumor grade-specific N- and O-glycosylation in surgically removed PCa tissues spanning five histological grades (n = 10/grade) and tissues from patients with benign prost ...[more]

Project description:Neutrophils are short-lived yet vital innate immune cells equipped with bioactive glycoproteins packed in cytosolic granules that can readily be mobilised to elicit an effective and timely response against invading pathogens. Since the dynamic glycosylation processes underpinning the dramatic metamorphosis associated with myeloid progenitor-to-neutrophil differentiation remain unmapped, we here perform a comprehensive spatiotemporal profiling of the complex N-glycoproteome of isolated granule populations from blood-derived neutrophils and during maturation of bone marrow-derived progenitors using glycomics-assisted glycoproteomics. Firstly, glycomics indicated that the granule populations of mature (resting) neutrophils exhibit distinctive glycophenotypes including, most strikingly, unusual paucimannosidic- and monoantennary complex-type N-glycans in azurophilic granules. The granule-specific N-glycosylation features were recapitulated by glycoproteomics, which also uncovered extensive site- and protein-specific N-glycosylation decorating 4,772 N-glycopeptides from 352 N-glycoproteins across the neutrophil granules. Excitingly, comprehensive mining of proteomics and transcriptomics data collected from discrete myeloid progenitor stages for glycopeptide and glyco-enzyme expression revealed that dramatic glycoproteome remodelling underpins the promyelocytic-to-metamyelocyte transition and that remodelling is driven predominantly by proteome expression changes rather than modulation of the glycosylation machinery. Notable exceptions were the oligosaccharyltransferase subunits responsible for initiation of N-glycoprotein biosynthesis that were strongly reduced with myeloid differentiation leading to reduced N-glycosylation efficiency in late-stage neutrophil maturation and in corresponding granules. Our study provides new spatiotemporal insights into the dynamic neutrophil N-glycoproteome, which exhibits intriguingly complex site-, protein- and granule-specific N-glycosylation features and which undergoes strong remodelling during myeloid progenitor-to-neutrophil metamorphosis.
