Glycosylation is among the most complex posttranslational modifications with an extremely high level of diversity that has made it refractory to high-throughput analyses. Despite its resistance to high-throughput techniques, glycosylation is important in many critical cellular processes that necessitate a productive approach to their analysis. To facilitate studies in glycosylation, we developed a high-throughput lectin microarray for defining mammalian cell surface glycan signatures. Using the lectin microarray we established a binary analysis of cell binding and hierarchical organization of 24 mammalian cell lines. The array was also used to document changes in cell surface glycosylation during cell development and differentiation of primary murine immune system cells. To establish the biological and clinical importance of glycan signatures, the lectin microarray was applied in two systems. First, we analyzed the cell surface glycan signatures and were able to predict mannose-dependent tropism using a model pathogen. Second, we used the glycan signatures to identify novel lectin biomarkers for cancer stem-like cells in a murine model. Thus, lectin microarrays are an effective tool for analyzing diverse cell processes including cell development and differentiation, cell-cell communication, pathogen-host recognition, and cell surface biomarker identification.  相似文献

Antibody-overlay lectin microarray (ALM) has been used for targeted glycan profiling to identify disease-related protein glycoforms. In this context, high sensitivity is desired because it allows for the identification of disease-related glycoforms that are often present at low concentrations. We describe a new tyramide signal amplification (TSA) for the antibody-overlay lectin microarray procedure for sensitive profiling of glycosylation patterns. We demonstrate that TSA increased the sensitivity of the microarray over 100 times for glycan profiling using the model protein prostate specific antigen (PSA). The glycan profile of PSA enriched from LNCAP cells, obtained at a subnanogram level with the aid of TSA, was consistent with the previous reports. We also established the glycan profile of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) using the TSA and ALM. Thus, the TSA for antibody-overlay lectin microarray is a sensitive, rapid, comprehensive, and high-throughput method for targeted glycan profiling and can potentially be used for the identification of disease-related protein glycoforms.  相似文献

Among the “omics”, glycomics is one of the most complex fields and needs complementary strategies of analysis to decipher the “glycan dictionary”. As an alternative method, which has developed since the beginning of the 21st century, lectin array technology could generate relevant information related to glycan motifs, accessibility and a number of other valuable insights from molecules (purified and non-purified) or cells. Based on a cell line model, this study deals with the key parameters that influence the whole cell surface glycan interaction with lectin arrays and the consequences on the interpretation and reliability of the results. The comparison between the adherent and suspension forms of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, showed respective glycan signatures, which could be inhibited specifically by neoglycoproteins. The modifications of the respective glycan signatures were also revealed according to the detachment modes and cell growth conditions. Finally the power of lectin array technology was highlighted by the possibility of selecting and characterizing a specific clone from the mother cell line, based on the slight difference determination in the respective glycan signatures.  相似文献

Currently there is only a modest level knowledge of the glycosylation status of immortalised cell lines that are commonly used in cancer biology as well as their binding affinities to different glycan structures. Through use of glycan and lectin microarray technology, this study has endeavoured to define the different bindings of cell surface carbohydrate structures to glycan-binding lectins. The screening of breast cancer MDA-MB435 cells, cervical cancer HeLa cells and colon cancer Caco-2, HCT116 and HCT116-FM6 cells was conducted to determine their differential bindings to a variety of glycan and lectin structures printed on the array slides. An inverse relationship between the number of glycan structures recognised and the variety of cell surface glycosylation was observed. Of the cell lines tested, it was found that four bound to sialylated structures in initial screening. Secondary screening in the presence of a neuraminidase inhibitor (4-deoxy-4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en) significantly reduced sialic acid binding. The array technology has proven to be useful in determining the glycosylation signatures of various cell-lines as well as their glycan binding preferences. The findings of this study provide the groundwork for further investigation into the numerous glycan-lectin interactions that are exhibited by immortalised cell lines.  相似文献

Lectin microarray is an emerging technique, which will accelerate glycan profiling and discovery of glycan-related biomarkers. One of the most important stages in realizing the potential of the technique is to achieve sufficiently high sensitivity to detect even the low concentrations of some target glycoproteins which occur in sera or tissues. Previously, we developed a lectin microarray based on an evanescent-field fluorescence-assisted detection principle that allows rapid profiling of glycoproteins. Here, we report optimization of procedures for lectin spotting and immobilization to improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of the lectin microarray. The improved microarray allows high-sensitivity detection of even monovalent oligosaccharides that generally have a low affinity with lectins (K(d)>10(-6) M). The LOD observed for RCA120, a representative plant lectin, with asialofetuin, and an asialo-biantennary N-glycan probe were determined to be 100 pg/mL and 100 pM, respectively. With the improved lectin microarray system, closely related structural isomers, i.e., Le(a) and Le(x), were clearly differentiated by the difference in signal patterns on relevant multiple lectins, even though specific lectins to detect these glycan structures were not available. The result proved a previously proposed concept of lectin-based glycan profiling.  相似文献

The glycome represents the total set of glycans expressed in a cell. The glycome has been assumed to vary between cell types, stages of development and differentiation, and during malignant transformation. Analysis of the glycome provides a basis for understanding the functions of glycans in these cellular processes. Recently, a technique called lectin microarray was developed for rapid profiling of glycosylation, although its use was mainly restricted to glycoproteins of cell lysates, and thus unable to profile the intact cell surface glycans. Here we report a simple and sensitive procedure based on this technology for direct analysis of the live mammalian cell-surface glycome. Fluorescent-labeled live cells were applied in situ to the established lectin microarray consisting of 43 immobilized lectins with distinctive binding specificities. After washing, bound cells were directly detected by an evanescent-field fluorescence scanner in a liquid phase without fixing and permeabilization. The results obtained by differential profiling of CHO and its glycosylation-defective mutant cells, and splenocytes of wild-type and beta1-3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II knockout mice performed as model experiments agreed well with their glycosylation phenotypes. We also compared cell surface glycans of K562 cells before and after differentiation and found a significant increase in the expression of O-glycans on differentiated cells. These results demonstrate that the technique provides a novel strategy for profiling global changes of the mammalian cell surface glycome.  相似文献

Glycans or carbohydrates attached to therapeutic glycoproteins can directly affect product quality, safety and efficacy, and therefore must be adequately analyzed and controlled throughout product life cycles. However, the complexity of protein glycosylation poses a daunting analytical challenge. In this study, we evaluated the utility of a lectin microarray for assessing protein glycans. Using commercial lectin chips, which contain 45 lectins toward distinct glycan structures, we were able to determine the lectin binding patterns of a panel of 15 therapeutic proteins, including 8 monoclonal antibodies. Lectin binding signals were analyzed to generate glycan profiles that were generally consistent with the known glycan patterns for these glycoproteins. In particular, the lectin-based microarray was found to be highly sensitive to variations in the terminal carbohydrate structures such as galactose versus sialic acid epitopes. These data suggest that lectin microarray could be used for screening glycan patterns of therapeutic glycoproteins.  相似文献

High throughput (HT) platforms serve as a cost‐efficient and rapid screening method for evaluating the effect of cell‐culture conditions and screening of chemicals. We report the development of a HT cell‐based microarray platform to assess the effect of culture conditions on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Specifically, growth, transgene expression and metabolism of a GS/methionine sulphoximine (MSX) CHO cell line, which produces a therapeutic monoclonal antibody, was examined using a microarray system in conjunction with a conventional shake flask platform in a non‐proprietary medium. The microarray system consists of 60‐nL spots of cells encapsulated in alginate and separated in groups via an 8‐well chamber system attached to the chip. Results show the non‐proprietary medium developed allows cell growth, production, and normal glycosylation of recombinant antibody and metabolism of the recombinant CHO cells in both the microarray and shake flask platforms. In addition, 10.3 mM glutamate addition to the defined base medium results in lactate metabolism shift in the recombinant GS/MSX CHO cells in the shake flask platform. Ultimately, the results demonstrate that the HT microarray platform has the potential to be utilized for evaluating the impact of media additives on cellular processes, such as cell growth, metabolism, and productivity.  相似文献

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that exert their biological activity by binding to specific cell glycoreceptors. We have expressed CNL, a ricin B-like lectin from the basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis in Escherichia coli. The recombinant lectin, rCNL, agglutinates human blood group A erythrocytes and is specific for the unique glycan N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine (GalNAcβ1-4GlcNAc, LacdiNAc) as demonstrated by glycan microarray analysis. We here describe the crystal structures of rCNL in complex with lactose and LacdiNAc, defining its interactions with the sugars. CNL is a homodimeric lectin, each of whose monomers consist of a single ricin B lectin domain with its β-trefoil fold and one carbohydrate-binding site. To study the mode of CNL action, a nonsugar-binding mutant and nondimerizing monovalent CNL mutants that retain carbohydrate-binding activity were prepared. rCNL and the mutants were examined for their biological activities against Jurkat human leukemic T cells and the hypersensitive nematode Caenorhabditis elegans mutant strain pmk-1. rCNL was toxic against both, although the mutants were inactive. Thus, the bivalent carbohydrate-binding property of homodimeric CNL is essential for its activity, providing one of the rare pieces of evidence that certain activities of lectins are associated with their multivalency.  相似文献

An ultra-sensitive method for glycan analysis targeting small tissue sections (1.5 mm in diameter) is described as an application of a recently-established lectin microarray technology. The developed system achieved a high level of detection of a tissue section consisting of approximately 500 cells for differential profiling, where both N- and O-glycans attached to a pool of glycoproteins are subjected to multiplex analysis with 43 lectins. By using an optimized protocol for differential glycan analysis, sections of adenocarcinoma (n = 28) and normal epithelia (n = 12) of the colon were analyzed in an all-in-one manner. As a result, Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) was found to clearly differentiate cancerous from normal epithelia with P < 0.0001. The obtained results correlated well with the subsequent histochemical study using biotinylated WFA. Thus, the developed technology proved to be valid for expanding the lectin microarray applications to tissue-based glycomics, and hence, should accelerate a discovery phase of glycan-related biomarkers.  相似文献

In the past three decades a lot of research has been done on the extended family of carbohydrate-binding proteins from Sambucus nigra, including several so-called type 2 RIPs as well as hololectins. Although all these proteins have been studied for their carbohydrate-binding properties using hapten inhibition assays, detailed carbohydrate specificity studies have only been performed for a few Sambucus proteins. In particular SNA-I, has been studied extensively. Because of its unique binding characteristics this lectin was developed as an important tool in glycoconjugate research to detect sialic acid containing glycoconjugates. At present much less information is available with respect to the detailed carbohydrate binding specificity of other S. nigra lectins and RIPs, and as a consequence their applications remain limited. In this paper we report a comparative analysis of several lectins from S. nigra using the glycan microarray technology. Ultimately a better understanding of the ligands for each lectin can contribute to new/more applications for these lectins in glycoconjugate research. Furthermore, the data from glycan microarray analyses combined with the previously obtained sequence information can help to explain how evolution within a single lectin family eventually yielded a set of carbohydrate-binding proteins with a very broad specificity range.  相似文献

Protein glycosylation is a critical subject attracting increasing attention in the field of proteomics as it is expected to play a key role in the investigation of histological and diagnostic biomarkers. In this context, an enormous number of glycoproteins have now been nominated as disease-related biomarkers. However, there is no appropriate strategy in the current proteome platform to qualify such marker candidate molecules, which relates their specific expression to particular diseases. Here, we present a new practical system for focused differential glycan analysis in terms of antibody-assisted lectin profiling (ALP). In the developed procedure, (i) a target protein is enriched from clinic samples (e.g. tissue extracts, cell supernatants, or sera) by immunoprecipitation with a specific antibody recognizing a core protein moiety; (ii) the target glycoprotein is quantified by immunoblotting using the same antibody used in (i); and (iii) glycosylation difference is analyzed by means of antibody-overlay lectin microarray, an application technique of an emerging glycan profiling microarray. As model glycoproteins having either N-linked or O-linked glycans, prostate-specific antigen or podoplanin, respectively, were subjected to systematic ALP analysis. As a result, specific signals corresponding to the target glycoprotein glycans were obtained at a sub-picomole level with the aid of specific antibodies, whereby disease-specific or tissue-specific glycosylation changes could be observed in a rapid, reproducible, and high-throughput manner. Thus, the established system should provide a powerful pipeline in support of on-going efforts in glyco-biomarker discovery.  相似文献

We have recently demonstrated that Notch pathway blockade by γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI) depletes cancer stem cells (CSCs) in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) through reduced proliferation and induced apoptosis. However, the detailed mechanism by which the manipulation of Notch signal induces alterations on post-translational modifications such as glycosylation has not been investigated. Herein, we present a differential profiling work to detect the change of glycosylation pattern upon drug treatment in GBM CSCs. Rapid screening of differential cell surface glycan structures has been performed by lectin microarray on live cells followed by the detection of N-linked glycoproteins from cell lysates using multi-lectin chromatography and label-free quantitative mass spectrometry analysis. A total of 51 and 52 glycoproteins were identified in the CSC- and GSI-treated groups, respectively, filtered by a combination of decoy database searching and Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) processing. Although no significant changes were detected from the lectin microarray experiment, 7 differentially expressed glycoproteins with high confidence were captured after the multi-lectin column including key enzymes involved in glycan processing. Functional annotations of the altered glycoproteins suggest a phenotype transformation of CSCs toward a less tumorigenic form upon GSI treatment.  相似文献

Lectin microarrays have emerged as a novel platform for glycan analysis during recent years. Here, we have combined surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) with the lectin microarray for rapid and label-free profiling of stem cells. In this direction, 40 lectins from seven different glyco-binding motifs and three different cell lines—mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), mouse-induced pluripotent stem cells (miPSCs), and mouse embryonic fibroblast stem cells (MEFs)—were used. Pluripotent mouse stem cells were clearly distinguished from non-pluripotent stem cells. Eight lectins—DBA, MAL, PHA_E, PHA_L, EEL, AAL, PNA, and SNA—generated maximal value to define pluripotency of mouse stem cells in our experiments. The discriminant function based on lectin reactivities was highly accurate for the determination of stem cell pluripotency. These results suggested that glycomic analysis of stem cells leads to a novel comprehensive approach for quality control in cell-based therapy and regenerative medicine.  相似文献

Carbohydrate post-translational modifications on proteins are important determinants of protein function in both normal and disease biology. We have developed a method to allow the efficient, multiplexed study of glycans on individual proteins from complex mixtures, using antibody microarray capture of multiple proteins followed by detection with lectins or glycan-binding antibodies. Chemical derivatization of the glycans on the spotted antibodies prevented lectin binding to those glycans. Multiple lectins could be used as detection probes, each targeting different glycan groups, to build up lectin binding profiles of captured proteins. By profiling both protein and glycan variation in multiple samples using parallel sandwich and glycan-detection assays, we found cancer-associated glycan alteration on the proteins MUC1 and CEA in the serum of pancreatic cancer patients. Antibody arrays for glycan detection are highly effective for profiling variation in specific glycans on multiple proteins and should be useful in diverse areas of glycobiology research.  相似文献
