Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glycosylation is the most common post-translational modification and is altered in disease. The typical glycosylation change in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) is a decrease in galactosylation levels on IgG. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of anti-TNF therapy on whole serum glycosylation from IA patients and determine whether these alterations in the glycome change upon treatment of the disease. METHODS Serum samples were collected from 54 IA patients before treatment and at 1 and 12 months after commencing anti-TNF therapy. N-linked glycans from whole serum samples were analysed using a high-throughput hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-based method. RESULTS Glycosylation on the serum proteins of IA patients changed significantly with anti-TNF treatment. We observed an increase in galactosylated glycans from IgG, also an increase in core-fucosylated biantennary galactosylated glycans and a decrease in sialylated triantennary glycans with and without outer arm fucose. This increase in galactosylated IgG glycans suggests a reversing of the N-glycome towards normal healthy profiles. These changes are strongly correlated with decreasing CRP, suggesting a link between glycosylation changes and decreases in inflammatory processes. CONCLUSION Glycosylation changes in the serum of IA patients on anti-TNF therapy are strongly associated with a decrease in inflammatory processes and reflect the effect of anti-TNF on the immune system.

Abstract
A recent genome-wide association study identified hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-α (HNF1A) as a key regulator of fucosylation. We hypothesized that loss-of-function HNF1A mutations causal for maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) would display altered fucosylation of N-linked glycans on plasma proteins and that glycan biomarkers could improve the efficiency of a diagnosis of HNF1A-MODY. In a pilot comparison of 33 subjects with HNF1A-MODY and 41 subjects with type 2 diabetes, 15 of 29 glycan measurements differed between the two groups. The DG9-glycan index, which is the ratio of fucosylated to nonfucosylated triantennary glycans, provided optimum discrimination in the pilot study and was examined further among additional subjects with HNF1A-MODY (n = 188), glucokinase (GCK)-MODY (n = 118), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-α (HNF4A)-MODY (n = 40), type 1 diabetes (n = 98), type 2 diabetes (n = 167), and nondiabetic controls (n = 98). The DG9-glycan index was markedly lower in HNF1A-MODY than in controls or other diabetes subtypes, offered good discrimination between HNF1A-MODY and both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (C statistic ≥ 0.90), and enabled us to detect three previously undetected HNF1A mutations in patients with diabetes. In conclusion, glycan profiles are altered substantially in HNF1A-MODY, and the DG9-glycan index has potential clinical value as a diagnostic biomarker of HNF1A dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with an excess of agalactosylated (G0) IgG that is considered relatively proinflammatory. Assessment of this association in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is complicated by age-dependent IgG glycan variation. The aim of this study was to conduct the first large-scale survey of IgG glycans in healthy children and patients with JIA, with a focus on early childhood, the time of peak JIA incidence. METHODS IgG glycans from healthy children and disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-naive patients with JIA were characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography. Agalactosylated glycans were quantitated with reference to monogalactosylated (G1) species. Associations were sought between the G0:G1 ratio and disease characteristics. RESULTS Among healthy children ages 9 months to 16 years (n = 165), the G0:G1 ratio was highly age dependent, with the ratio peaking to 1.19 in children younger than age 3 years and declining to a nadir of 0.83 after age 10 years (Spearman's ρ = 0.60, P < 0.0001). In patients with JIA (n = 141), the G0:G1 ratio was elevated compared with that in control subjects (1.32 versus 1.02; P < 0.0001). The G0:G1 ratio corrected for age was abnormally high in all JIA subtypes (enthesitis-related arthritis was not assessed), most strikingly in systemic JIA. Glycosylation aberrancy was comparable in patients with and those without antinuclear antibodies and in both early- and late-onset disease and exhibited at most a weak correlation with markers of inflammation. CONCLUSION IgG glycosylation is skewed toward proinflammatory G0 variants in healthy children, in particular during the first few years of life. This deviation is exaggerated in patients with JIA. The role for IgG glycan variation in immune function in children, including the predilection of JIA for early childhood, remains to be defined.

Abstract
The majority of proteins present in human serum/plasma are glycoproteins, validating this fluid as an ideal starting material for N-glycan analysis and discovery of potential biomarkers. The glycoprotein content for both serum and plasma is very similar, except for proteins removed in the coagulation process, including fibrinogen. Our aim was to characterize fibrinogen glycosylation in order to determine its contribution to differences between serum and plasma N-glycomes. N-Glycans from human fibrinogen were released, labeled, and analyzed by HILIC-HPLC and MS. Structural characterization of fibrinogen subunits revealed that the α chain was not N-glycosylated, whereas β and γ contained identical oligosaccharide structures, mainly biantennary digalactosylated monosialylated structures (A2G2S1) and biantennary digalactosylated disialylated structures (A2G2S2). Blood was collected from five healthy volunteers into four testing tubes: silicone-coated glass for serum and EDTA, Na-heparin, and Li-heparin glass tubes for plasma. N-Glycans were analyzed using the high-throughput HILIC-HPLC method. N-Glycan profiles from serum and plasma samples differed largely in glycans identified in fibrinogen, suggesting that this glycoprotein represents a major factor distinguishing these body fluids. This result emphasizes the important of consistent body fluid collection practices in biomarker discovery studies.

Abstract
Many post-translational modifications, including glycosylation, are pivotal for the structural integrity, location and functional activity of glycoproteins. Sub-populations of proteins that are relocated or functionally changed by such modifications can change resting proteins into active ones, mediating specific effector functions, as in the case of monoclonal antibodies. To ensure safe and efficacious drugs it is essential to employ appropriate robust, quantitative analytical strategies that can (i) perform detailed glycan structural analysis, (ii) characterise specific subsets of glycans to assess known critical features of therapeutic activities (iii) rapidly profile glycan pools for at-line monitoring or high level batch to batch screening. Here we focus on these aspects of glycan analysis, showing how state-of-the-art technologies are required at all stages during the production of recombinant glycotherapeutics. These data can provide insights into processing pathways and suggest markers for intervention at critical control points in bioprocessing and also critical decision points in disease and drug monitoring in patients. Importantly, these tools are now enabling the first glycome/genome studies in large populations, allowing the integration of glycomics into other 'omics platforms in a systems biology context.

Abstract
Glycosylation is highly variable depending on many environmental factors. Using our fully quantitative high-throughput normal phase hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography platform we have identified glycosylation changes associated with medication in the plasma N-glycome from three different population cohorts: ORCADES from the Orkney Islands in Scotland and CROATIA-Vis and CROATIA-Korcula from the Croatian islands of Vis and Korcula. Associations between glycosylation and the use of hormones (oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin and other NSAIDs), oral steroids (prednisolone) and steroid inhalers (beclomethasone) were investigated. Significant differences associated with usage of oral contraceptives were found with increased core-fucosylated biantennary glycans. Decreases in core-fucosylated biantennary glycans, core-fucosylated triantennary glycans with outer-arm fucose, and high mannosylated glycans were associated with the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. All of the changes in glycosylation were independent of blood group status. In conclusion, hormones and anti-inflammatory medication were associated with changes in glycosylation, possibly as a result of the modulatory effect of these drugs on the inflammatory response. In general, cancer is associated with inflammation, and many glycoproteins in the plasma are acute phase related to the host response. These preliminary data indicate the importance of correcting the levels of glycans used as biomarkers for the effects of medication.

Abstract
N-glycan processing and assembly defects have been demonstrated in untreated and partially treated patients with Classical Galactosaemia. These defects may contribute to the ongoing pathophysiology of this disease. The aim of this study was to develop an informative method of studying differential galactose tolerance levels and diet control in individuals with Galactosaemia, compared to the standard biochemical markers. Ten Galactosaemia adults with normal intellectual outcomes were analyzed in the study. Five subjects followed galactose liberalization, increments of 300 mg to 4000 mg/day over 16 weeks, and were compared to five adult Galactosaemia controls on a galactose restricted diet. All study subjects underwent clinical and biochemical monitoring of red blood cell galactose-1-phosphate (RBC Gal-1-P) and urinary galactitol levels. Serum N-glycans were isolated and analyzed by normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) with galactosylation of IgG used as a specific biomarker of galactose tolerance. IgG N-glycan profiles showed consistent individual alterations in response to diet liberalization. The individual profiles were improved for all, but one study subject, at a galactose intake of 1000 mg/day, with decreases in agalactosylated (G0) and increases in digalactosylated (G2) N-glycans. We conclude that IgG N-glycan profiling is an improved method of monitoring variable galactosylation and determining individual galactose tolerance in Galactosaemia compared to the standard methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive biomarkers, such as those from serum, are ideal for disease prognosis, staging and monitoring. In the past decade, our understanding of the importance of glycosylation changes with disease has evolved. SCOPE OF REVIEW We describe potential biomarkers derived from serum glycoproteins for liver, pancreatic, prostate, ovarian, breast, lung and stomach cancers. Methods for glycan analysis have progressed and newly developed high-throughput platform technologies have enabled the analysis of large cohorts of samples in an efficient manner. We also describe this evolution and trends to follow in the future. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Many convincing examples of aberrant glycans associated with cancer have come about from glycosylation analyses. Most studies have been carried out to identify changes in serum glycan profiles or through the isolation and identification of glycoproteins that contain these irregular glycan structures. In a majority of cancers the fucosylation and sialylation expression are found to be significantly modified. Therefore, these aberrations in glycan structures can be utilized as targets to improve existing cancer biomarkers. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The ability to distinguish differences in the glycosylation of proteins between cancer and control patients emphasizes glycobiology as a promising field for potential biomarker identification. Furthermore, the high-throughput and reproducible nature of the chromatography platform have highlighted extensive applications in biomarker discovery and allowed integration of glycomics with other -omics fields, such as proteomics and genomics, making systems glycobiology a reality. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Glycoproteomics.

Abstract
All immunoglobulin G molecules carry N-glycans, which modulate their biological activity. Changes in N-glycosylation of IgG associate with various diseases and affect the activity of therapeutic antibodies and intravenous immunoglobulins. We have developed a novel 96-well protein G monolithic plate and used it to rapidly isolate IgG from plasma of 2298 individuals from three isolated human populations. N-glycans were released by PNGase F, labeled with 2-aminobenzamide and analyzed by hydrophilic interaction chromatography with fluorescence detection. The majority of the structural features of the IgG glycome were consistent with previous studies, but sialylation was somewhat higher than reported previously. Sialylation was particularly prominent in core fucosylated glycans containing two galactose residues and bisecting GlcNAc where median sialylation level was nearly 80%. Very high variability between individuals was observed, approximately three times higher than in the total plasma glycome. For example, neutral IgG glycans without core fucose varied between 1.3 and 19%, a difference that significantly affects the effector functions of natural antibodies, predisposing or protecting individuals from particular diseases. Heritability of IgG glycans was generally between 30 and 50%. The individual's age was associated with a significant decrease in galactose and increase of bisecting GlcNAc, whereas other functional elements of IgG glycosylation did not change much with age. Gender was not an important predictor for any IgG glycan. An important observation is that competition between glycosyltransferases, which occurs in vitro, did not appear to be relevant in vivo, indicating that the final glycan structures are not a simple result of competing enzymatic activities, but a carefully regulated outcome designed to meet the prevailing physiological needs.

Abstract
This paper reports on the role of proteases secreted by roots in nitrogen capture by plants. The study was conducted on aseptically cultivated wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum cv. Tacher) obtained from embryos isolated from grains. Seedlings were cultivated for 21 days on deionised water, Murashige Skoog medium (MS), MS without inorganic nitrogen (IN), and MS without IN, in which IN was replaced by casein (0.01%, 0.1% or 1%). Comparison of seedlings grown on these media showed that casein entirely compensated for the lack of inorganic nitrogen in the medium. Shoots and roots of seedlings cultivated on MS medium with this protein had higher fresh weight than those cultivated on MS medium without casein. The increase in fresh weight of seedlings was correlated with casein concentration and proteolytic activity in the medium. In conclusion, wheat that uses proteases secreted by the roots can directly utilise proteins in the medium as a source of nitrogen without prior digestion by microbial proteases and without protein mineralisation. These results suggest the important role of organic nitrogen fertilisers in increasing wheat yield.

Abstract
The study presents the comparison of the effects of reverberation transmitted via single and combined channels (auditory, visual and tactile) on the speech of stutterers. The dependence of stuttering intensity and speech velocity upon reverberation time was determined. For all transmission channels the stuttering intensities and the speech velocities decreased with the increase in reverberation time. The results were analyzed statistically by means of the ANOVA method. It was proven that the corrective effects of visual reverberation and tactile reverberation were comparable. Reverberation transmitted via the auditory channel was more effective than when transmitted via the visual or tactile channels. Connecting the visual and tactile channels with the auditory channel has no influence on the effectiveness of reverberation.

Abstract
The study presents the comparison of the effects of echo transmitted via single and combined channels (auditory, visual and tactile) on the speech of stutterers. The dependence of stuttering intensity and speech velocity upon echo delay time was determined. For all transmission channels the stuttering intensities and the speech velocities decreased with the increase in the delay time of the echo. The results were analyzed statistically by means of the ANOVA method. It was proven that the corrective effects of visual echo and tactile echo were comparable. Echo transmitted via the auditory channel was more effective than when transmitted via the visual or tactile channels. The greatest efficiency could be observed by transmitting echo via three connected channels: auditory, visual and tactile. The results obtained show that in stuttering therapy it is justified to use echo transmitted via three connected channels (auditory, visual, tactile).

Abstract
Measurements of the dissociative ionization cross-sections of CO, CO2, NO and N2O molecules for electrons from 20 up to 1000 eV were performed. Total collection of ions was achieved by using a specially constructed cycloidal mass spectrometer, an ion source without slit and a collector with large area. In that open ion source the effusion molecular beam formed by a capillary was crossed by the electron beam. Owing to such parameters of the mass spectrometer the mass discrimination effects were reduced. At the ionization of CO molecules, the ions CO+, C+, O+ and CO2+ were registered; at CO2, the ions CO2+, CO+, O+, C+ and CO2(2)+; at NO, the ions NO+, N+, O+ and NO2+; at N2O, the ions N2O+, NO+, N2+, O+, (N+,N2(2)+) and N2O2+. The relative values of the partial cross-sections were normalized to the absolute total ionization cross-sections obtained by Rapp and Englander-Golden.
