Mass spectrometry for glycan biomarker discovery

O. Aizpurua-Olaizola, J. Sastre Toraño, J.M. Falcon-Prez, C. Williams, N. Reichardt, G.-J. Boons

The association between aberrant glycosylation of proteins and many cancers, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases has been known for many years. Altered glycosylation can occur at the onset and during disease progression and identifying these changes at an early stage may greatly increase survival and improve quality of life. However, the identification of these biomarkers has not been easy, mainly due to the structural diversity and numerous possible glycan isomers. Fortunately, glycomics is becoming more feasible due to major improvements in mass spectrometry and separation science. The present review discusses recent methods for mass-spectrometry (MS) based glycomics for the identification of glycan biomarkers. Recent MS techniques with and without coupling to liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis or ion mobility spectrometry are described, and the most recent glycan biomarker studies are presented and future prospects discussed.

Review Article: Glycosylation of extracellular vesicles: current knowledge, tools and clinical perspectives

Charles Williams, Felix Royo, Oier Aizpurua-Olaizola, Raquel Pazos, Geert-Jan Boons, Niels-Christian Reichardt, Juan M. Falcón-Pérez

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles 2018, 7:1, 1442985

DOI: 10.1080/20013078.2018.1442985

It is now acknowledged that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important effectors in a vast number of biological processes through intercellular transfer of biomolecules. Increasing research efforts in the EV field have yielded an appreciation for the potential role of glycans in EV function. Indeed, recent reports show that the presence of glycoconjugates is involved in EV biogenesis, in cellular recognition and in the efficient uptake of EVs by recipient cells. It is clear that a full understanding of EV biology will require researchers to focus also on EV glycosylation through glycomics approaches. This review outlines the major glycomics techniques that have been applied to Evs in the context of the recent findings. Beyond understanding the mechanisms by which EVs mediate their physiological functions, glycosylation also provides opportunities by which to engineer EVs for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Studies characterising the glycan composition of EVs have highlighted glycome changes in various disease states, thus indicating potential for EV glycans as diagnostic markers. Meanwhile, glycans have been targeted as molecular handles for affinity-based isolation in both research and clinical contexts. An overview of current strategies to exploit EV glycosylation and a discussion of the implications of recent findings for the burgeoning EV industry follows the below review of glycomics and its application to EV biology.

Chemistry - A European Journal, 2018

DOI: 10.1002/chem.201802577

A library of mannose- and fucose-based glycomimetics was synthesized and screened in a microarray format against a set of C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) that included DC-SIGN, DCSIGNR, langerin and dectin-2. Glycomimetic ligands able to interact with dectin-2 were identified for the first time. Comparative analysis of binding profiles allowed to probe their selectivity against other CLRs.

Glycan Microarray-Assisted Identification of IgG Subclass Targets in Schistosomiasis

Y. Y. Michelle Yang, Angela van Diepen, Katarzyna Brzezicka, Niels-Christian Reichardt and Cornelis H. Hokke

Frontiers in Immunology, 09 October 2018, Volume 9, Article 2331

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.02331 Infection with schistosomes is accompanied by the induction of antibodies against the parasite. Despite having IgG against both protein and glycan antigens, infected individuals remain chronically infected until treated, and re-infection is common in endemic areas as immunity does not develop effectively. Parasite specific IgG subclasses may differ in functionality and effectivity with respect to effector functions that contribute to parasite killing and immunity. In this study, we investigated if specific IgG subclasses target specific antigenic schistosome glycan motifs during human infection. Sera from 41 S. mansoni infected individuals from an endemic area in Uganda were incubated on two glycan microarrays, one consisting of a large repertoire of schistosome glycoprotein- and glycolipid- derived glycans and the other consisting of chemically synthesized core xylosylated and fucosylated N-glycans also expressed by schistosomes. Our results show that highly antigenic glycan motifs, such as multi-fucosylated terminal GalNAc(b1-4)GlcNAc (LDN) can be recognized by all IgG subclasses of infection sera, however with highly variable intensities. Detailed examination of core-modified N-glycan targets revealed individual antibody responses specific for core-xylosylated and core a3-fucosylated glycan motifs that are life stage specifically expressed by schistosomes. IgG1 and IgG3 were detected against a range of N-glycan core structures, but IgG2 and IgG4, when present, were specific for the core a3-fucose and xylose motifs that were previously found to be IgE targets in schistosomiasis, and in allergies. This study is the first to address IgG subclass responses to defined helminth glycans.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of N-glycan Positional Isomers and Evidence for Branch Selective Binding by Monoclonal Antibodies and Human C-type Lectin Receptors

Begoña Echeverria, Sonia Serna, Silvia Achilli, Corinne Vivès, Julie Pham, Michel Thépaut, Cornelis H. Hokke, Franck Fieschi, Niels-Christian Reichardt

ACS Chemical Biology 2018

DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.8b00431

Here, we describe a strategy for the rapid preparation of pure positional isomers of complex N-glycans to complement an existing array comprising a larger number of N- glycans and smaller glycan structures. The expanded array was then employed to study context-dependent binding of structural glycan fragments by monoclonal antibodies and C-type lectins. A partial enzymatic elongation of semiprotected core structures was combined with the protecting-group-aided separation of positional isomers by preparative HPLC. This methodology, which avoids the laborious chemical differentiation of antennae, was employed for the preparation of eight biantennary N-glycans with Galβ1,4GlcNAc (LN), GalNAcβ1,4GlcNAc (LDN), and GalNAcβ1,4-[Fucα1,3]GlcNAc (LDNF) motifs presented on either one or both antennae. Screening of the binding specificities of three anti-LeX monoclonal IgM antibodies raised against S. Mansoni glycans and three C-type lectin receptors of the innate immune system, namely DC-SIGN, DC-SIGNR, and LSECtin, revealed a surprising context-dependent fine specificity for the recognition of the glycan motifs. Moreover, we observed a triking selection of one individual positional isomer over the other by the C-type lectins tested, underscoring the biological relevance of the structural context of glycan elements in molecular recognition.

Measuring Bacterial Glycosyl Hydrolase Activity with a Soluble Capture Probe by Mass Spectrometry

Sonia Serna, María Ercibengoa, Jose María Marimon, and Niels-Christian Reichardt

Analytical Chemistry, 2018, Article ASAP

DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.8b02434

A solution-phase enzymatic assay has been developed to track bacterial glycosyl hydrolase activity by surface-assisted MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Lactose was equipped with an azide-functionalized linker and was supplemented to bacterial cultures as an artificial substrate for bacterial β-galactosidase enzyme. The azide linked glycoside probe was then covalently captured on an alkynefunctionalized indium tin oxide sample plate via a bioorthogonal copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The noncovalent immobilization of the alkyne capture tag via hydrophobic interactions on the ITO-sample plate allowed the analysis of the probe conjugate by surface-based mass spectrometry. The ratio of digested to nondigested lactose probe was then employed as a measure for bacterial hydrolase activity, which correlated well with bacterial growth measured by optical density. In addition, we established in a proof of concept experiment that the setup was well suited to identify antibiotic susceptibility of bacterial strains with a performance comparable to current state-of-the-art methods. While the proof of concept version is limited to the identification of a single enzyme activity, we envisage that the use of multiple substrate probes in a multiplexed version will allow the quantification of various glycosyl hydrolase activities with clinical relevance in a single experiment.

Fluorescent Neoglycoprotein Gold Nanoclusters: Synthesis and Applications in Plant Lectin Sensing and Cell Imaging Katarzyna Alicja Brzezicka, Sonia Serna, Niels-Christian Reichardt

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2018, 13:360

DOI: 10.1186/s11671-018-2772-2

Carbohydrate-protein interactions mediate fundamental biological processes, such as fertilization, cell signaling, or host-pathogen communication. However, because of the enormous complexity of glycan recognition events, new tools enabling their analysis or applications emerge in recent years. Here, we describe the first preparation of neoglycoprotein functionalized fluorescent gold nanoclusters, containing a biantennary N-glycan G0 as targeting molecule, ovalbumin as carrier/model antigen, and a fluorescent gold core as imaging probe (G0-OVA-AuNCs). Subsequently, we demonstrate the utility of generated G0-OVA-AuNCs for specific sensing of plant lectins and in vitro imaging of dendritic cells.
