JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2011; 22:1052-1062. [PMID: 21953046 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-011-0102-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2010] [Revised: 02/05/2011] [Accepted: 02/08/2011] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Collision induced dissociation (CID) fragmentation was compared between reducing and reduced sulfated, sialylated, and neutral O-linked oligosaccharides. It was found that fragmentation of the [M - H](-) ions of aldoses with acidic residues gave unique Z-fragmentation of the reducing end GalNAc containing the acidic C-6 branch, where the entire C-3 branch was lost. This fragmentation pathway, which is not seen in the alditols, showed that the process involved charge remote fragmentation catalyzed by a reducing end acidic anomeric proton. With structures containing sialic acid on both the C-3 and C-6 branch, the [M - H](-) ions were dominated by the loss of sialic acid. This fragmentation pathway was also pronounced in the [M - 2H](2-) ions revealing both the C-6 Z-fragment plus its complementary C-3 C-fragment in addition to glycosidic and cross ring fragmentation. This generation of the Z/C-fragment pairs from GalNAc showed that the charges were not participating in their generation. Fragmentation of neutral aldoses showed pronounced Z-fragmentation believed to be generated by proton migration from the C-6 branch to the negatively charged GalNAc residue followed by charge remote fragmentation similar to the acidic oligosaccharides. In addition, A-type fragments generated by charge induced fragmentation of neutral oligosaccharides were observed when the charge migrated from C-1 of the GalNAc to the GlcNAc residue followed by rearrangement to accommodate the (0,2)A-fragmentation. LC-MS also showed that O-linked aldoses existed as interchangeable α/β pyranose anomers, in addition to a third isomer (25% of the total free aldose) believed to be the furanose form.

Abstract
Xylan is a barrier to enzymatic hydrolysis of plant cell walls. It is well accepted that the xylan layer needs to be removed to efficiently hydrolyze cellulose; consequently, pretreatment conditions are (in part) optimized for maximal xylan depolymerization or displacement. Xylan consists of a long chain of β-1,4-linked xylose units substituted with arabinose (typically α-1,3-linked in grasses) and glucuronic acid (α-1,2-linked). Xylan has been proposed to have a structural function in plants and therefore may play a role in determining biomass reactivity to pretreatment. It has been proposed that substitutions along xylan chains are not random and, based upon studies of pericarp xylan, are organized in domains that have specific structural functions. Analysis of intact xylan is problematic because of its chain length (> degree of polymerization (d.p.) 100) and heterogeneous side groups. Traditionally, enzymatic end-point products have been characterized due to the limited products generated. Analysis of resultant arabino-xylo-oligosaccharides by mass spectrometry is complicated by the isobaric pentose sugars that primarily compose xylan. In this report, the variation in pentose ring structures was exploited for selective oxidation of the arabinofuranose primary alcohols followed by acid depolymerization to provide oligosaccharides with modified arabinose branches intact. Switchgrass samples were analyzed by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)-liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MSMS) and off-line nanospray MS to demonstrate the utility of this chemistry for determination of primary hydroxyl groups on oligosaccharide structures, with potential applications for determining the sequence of arabino-xylo-oligosaccharides present in plant cell wall material.

Abstract
Carbohydrates of laminin, a family of large multidomain glycoproteins, have been implicated in various cellular activities including maintaining the protein structure, its function and also basement membrane integrity. During the course of our investigation, we observed that purified laminin from kidneys of control, diabetic, and dietary fiber- and butyric acid-treated diabetic rats showed differences in binding to extracellular matrix components. This prompted us to determine whether there are structural changes in laminin oligosaccharides. In this study, we have characterized a few major N-linked oligosaccharides isolated from purified laminin in various experimental groups, viz. normal, diabetic and diabetic rats fed with dietary fiber and butyric acid. Sugar composition, as identified by GLC, revealed the presence of mannose, galactose and N-acetylglucosamine. In order to study fine structures of the oligosaccharides, N-linked oligosaccharides of laminin were released by Peptide-N-glycosidase F digestion, end-labeled with 2-anthranilic acid and fractionated by lectin affinity chromatography. Furthermore, structural elucidation carried out by MALDI-TOF MS/MS analysis showed variations in the oligosaccharide sequence of laminin during diabetes which were altered by the feeding of dietary fiber and butyric acid.

Abstract
Most methods for the analysis of oligosaccharides from biological sources require a glycan derivatization step: glycans may be derivatized to introduce a chromophore or fluorophore, facilitating detection after chromatographic or electrophoretic separation. Derivatization can also be applied to link charged or hydrophobic groups at the reducing end to enhance glycan separation and mass-spectrometric detection. Moreover, derivatization steps such as permethylation aim at stabilizing sialic acid residues, enhancing mass-spectrometric sensitivity, and supporting detailed structural characterization by (tandem) mass spectrometry. Finally, many glycan labels serve as a linker for oligosaccharide attachment to surfaces or carrier proteins, thereby allowing interaction studies with carbohydrate-binding proteins. In this review, various aspects of glycan labeling, separation, and detection strategies are discussed.

Abstract
Fast, sensitive, robust methods for "high-level" glycan screening are necessary during various stages of a biotherapeutic product's lifecycle, including clone selection, process changes, and quality control for lot release testing. Traditional glycan screening involves chromatographic or electrophoretic separation-based methods, and, although reproducible, these methods can be time-consuming. Even ultrahigh-performance chromatographic and microfluidic integrated LC/MS systems, which work on the tens of minute time scale, become lengthy when hundreds of samples are to be analyzed. Comparatively, a direct infusion mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycan screening method acquires data on a millisecond time scale, exhibits exquisite sensitivity and reproducibility, and is amenable to automated peak annotation. In addition, characterization of glycan species via sequential mass spectrometry can be performed simultaneously. Here, we demonstrate a quantitative high-throughput MS-based mapping approach using stable isotope 2-aminobenzoic acid (2-AA) for rapid "high-level" glycan screening.

Abstract
A novel polymeric microfluidic device with an on-chip enzyme reactor has been developed for the characterization of recombinant glycoproteins. The enzyme reactor chip packed with PNGase F-modified solid support material was combined with a microfluidic glycan cleanup chip and a commercially available HPLC-chip to perform glycoprotein deglycosylation, protein removal, glycan capture, glycan LC separation, and nanoelectrospray into a time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) system. With this integrated chip, the combined sample preparation and sample analysis time was reduced from multiple hours to less than 10 min. A once tedious and time-consuming glycan analysis workflow is now integrated into an HPLC-chip device. Glycan profiling analysis has been achieved with as little as 100 ng of monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, a single chip was shown to retain activity and perform equivalently for over 250 replicate glycan profiles from a recombinant antibody.

Abstract
Regulatory agencies' expectations for biotherapeutic approval are becoming more stringent with regard to product characterization, where minor species as low as 0.1% of a given profile are typically identified. The mission of this manuscript is to demonstrate a multi-method approach toward de novo glycan characterization and quantitation, including minor species at or approaching the 0.1% benchmark. Recently, unexpected isomers of the Man(5)GlcNAc(2) (M(5)) were reported (Prien JM, Ashline DJ, Lapadula AJ, Zhang H, Reinhold VN. 2009. The high mannose glycans from bovine ribonuclease B isomer characterization by ion trap mass spectrometry (MS). J Am Soc Mass Spectrom. 20:539-556). In the current study, quantitative analysis of these isomers found in commercial M(5) standard demonstrated that they are in low abundance (<1% of the total) and therefore an exemplary "litmus test" for minor species characterization. A simple workflow devised around three core well-established analytical procedures: (1) fluorescence derivatization; (2) online rapid resolution reversed-phase separation coupled with negative-mode sequential mass spectrometry (RRRP-(-)-MS(n)); and (3) permethylation derivatization with nanospray sequential mass spectrometry (NSI-MS(n)) provides comprehensive glycan structural determination. All methods have limitations; however, a multi-method workflow is an at-line stopgap/solution which mitigates each method's individual shortcoming(s) providing greater opportunity for more comprehensive characterization. This manuscript is the first to demonstrate quantitative chromatographic separation of the M(5) isomers and the use of a commercially available stable isotope variant of 2-aminobenzoic acid to detect and chromatographically resolve multiple M(5) isomers in bovine ribonuclease B. With this multi-method approach, we have the capabilities to comprehensively characterize a biotherapeutic's glycan array in a de novo manner, including structural isomers at >/=0.1% of the total chromatographic peak area.

Abstract
More than half of all human proteins are glycosylated. Glycosylation defines the adhesive properties of glycoconjugates and it is largely through glycan-protein interactions that cell-cell and cell-pathogen contacts occur. Not surprisingly, considering the central role they play in molecular encounters, glycoprotein and carbohydrate-based drugs and therapeutics represent a greater than $20 billion market. Glycomics, the study of glycan expression in biological systems, relies on effective analytical techniques for correlation of glycan structure with function. This overview summarizes techniques developed historically for glycan characterization as well as recent trends. Derivatization methods key to both traditional and modern approaches for glycoanalysis are described. Monosaccharide compositional analysis is fundamental to any effort to understand glycan structure-function relationships. Chromatographic and electrophoretic separations are key parts of any glycoanalytical workflow. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance are complementary instrumental techniques for glycan analysis. Finally, microarrays are emerging as powerful new tools for dynamic analysis of glycan expression.

Abstract
Separation by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with fluorescence detection utilizing a sub-2 microm glycan column for the separation of 2-aminobenzamide (2-AB) labeled N-linked glycans is described. The HILIC column packed with a 1.7 microm amide sorbent improves the peak capacity compared to a 3.0 microm HILIC column by a similar degree as observed in reversed-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography (RP-UPLC). The results indicated that the optimal peak capacity was achieved at flow rate 0.2-0.5 mL/min. HILIC method transfer guidelines were shown to further enhance the resolution of glycans by changing initial gradient conditions, flow rate, column temperature, and different column lengths. Additionally, excellent resolution can be achieved in the separation of 2-AB labeled glycans released from fetuin, RNase B, and human IgG with a rapid analysis time.

Abstract
This review discusses the challenges involved in the characterization of the glycosylation of therapeutic glycoproteins. The focus is on methods that are most commonly used in regulatory filings and lot release testing of therapeutic glycoproteins. The different types of assays for carbohydrate analysis are reviewed, including the distinction between assays appropriate for lot release or better suited to testing during early drug development or in-depth characterization of the glycosylation. Characteristics of the glycoprotein and production process that should be considered when determining the amount of testing, the number of different methods to employ and when the testing should be performed during development of protein therapeutics is also discussed.

Abstract
Human protein C (hPC) is glycosylated at three Asn-X-Ser/Thr and one atypical Asn-X-Cys sequons. We have characterized the micro- and macro-heterogeneity of plasma-derived hPC and compared the glycosylation features with recombinant protein C (tg-PC) produced in a transgenic pig bioreactor from two animals having approximately tenfold different expression levels. The N-glycans of hPC are complex di- and tri-sialylated structures, and we measured 78% site occupancy at Asn-329 (the Asn-X-Cys sequon). The N-glycans of tg-PC are complex sialylated structures, but less branched and partially sialylated. The porcine mammary epithelial cells glycosylate the Asn-X-Cys sequon with a similar efficiency as human hepatocytes even at these high expression levels, and site occupancy at this sequon was not affected by expression level. A distinct bias for particular structures was present at each of the four glycosylation sites for both hPC and tg-PC. Interestingly, glycans with GalNAc in the antennae were predominant at the Asn-329 site. The N-glycan structures found for tg-PC are very similar to those reported for a recombinant Factor IX produced in transgenic pig milk, and similar to the endogenous milk protein lactoferrin, which may indicate that N-glycan processing in the porcine mammary epithelial cells is more uniform than in other tissues.

Abstract
N-glycan structures released from miniature pig endothelial and islet cells were determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) MS/MS and normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) combined with exoglycosidase digestion. Totally, the identified structures were 181 N-glycans including 129 sialylated and 18 alpha-galactosylated glycans from pig endothelial cells and 80 N-glycans including 41 sialylated and one alpha-galactosylated glycans from pig islet cells. The quantity of the alpha-galactosylated glycans from pig islet cells was certainly neglectable compared to pig endothelial cells. A number of NeuGc-terminated N-glycans (80 from pig endothelial cells and 13 from pig islet cells) are newly detected by our mass spectrometric strategies. The detailed structural information will be a matter of great interest in organ or cell xenotransplantation using alpha 1,3-galactosyltransferase gene-knockout (GalT-KO) pig.

Abstract
Fluorescent labeling of oligosaccharides with anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid; 2AA), or 2-aminobenzamide (2AB) permits the rapid, sensitive analysis of structures present in cells and tissues. Normal-phase (NP)/hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is commonly used to separate fluorophore-derivatized oligosaccharides. Column elution is expressed as glucose units (GU) following calculation of relative retention when compared to an external glucose oligomer standard. However, there is significant overlap between sialylated and neutral oligosaccharides. Normal-phase anion-exchange (NP-AE) HPLC can separate differing classes of oligosaccharides according to the number of charged residues, but relative retention times in GU cannot be calculated across the entire gradient. We have overcome this difficulty by use of a Dionex AS11 column that combines both hydrophilic interaction and anion-exchange chromatographies, termed HIAX, which enables the calculation of GU values for oligosaccharides that carry sialylated or other negatively charged groups. The same method may also be employed for 2AB and other fluorophore-labeled oligosaccharides. Additionally, the same HPLC eluants are used for the differing HPLC columns. Therefore, analysis of HILIC- or HIAX-separated fluorophore-labeled oligosaccharides can be performed using a single HPLC system with a single set of eluents following a simple column change.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational events for proteins, affecting their functions in health and disease, and plays significant roles in various information trafficking for intercellular and intracellular biological events. The glycans which show such important effects are generally present as quite complex mixtures in minute amounts. The approach described here makes it possible to profile glycans for the analysis of post-translational modification of proteins with carbohydrates. The method is based on high-resolution separation of fluorescent-labeled carbohydrates by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescent detection in the presence of carbohydrate-binding proteins at different concentrations. The technique affords simultaneous determination of glycans having similar structures even in complex mixtures.

Abstract
A complex mixture of diverse oligosaccharides related to the carbohydrates in glycoconjugates involved in various biological events is found in animal milk/colostrum and has been challenging targets for separation and structural studies. In the current study, we isolated oligosaccharides having high molecular masses (MW approximately 3800) from the milk samples of bearded and hooded seals and analyzed their structures by off-line normal-phase-high-performance liquid chromatography-matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight (NP-HPLC-MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) by combination with sequential exoglycosidase digestion. Initially, a mixture of oligosaccharides from the seal milk was reductively aminated with 2-aminobenzoic acid and analyzed by a combination of HPLC and MALDI-TOF MS. From MS data, these oligosaccharides contained different numbers of lactosamine units attached to the nonreducing lactose (Galbeta1-4Glc) and fucose residue. The isolated oligosaccharides were sequentially digested with exoglycosidases and characterized by MALDI-TOF MS. The data revealed that oligosaccharides from both seal species were composed from lacto-N-neohexaose (LNnH, Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-6[Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3]Galbeta1-4Glc) as the common core structure, and most of them contained Fucalpha1-2 residues at the nonreducing ends. Furthermore, the oligosaccharides from both samples contained multibranched oligosaccharides having two Galbeta1-4GlcNAc (N-acetyllactosamine, LacNAc) residues on the Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3 branch or both branches of LNnH. Elongation of the chains was observed at 3-OH positions of Gal residues, but most of the internal Gal residues were also substituted with an N-acetyllactosamine at the 6-OH position.

Abstract
The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family of polysaccharides includes the unsulfated hyaluronan and the sulfated heparin, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin/dermatan sulfate. GAGs are biosynthesized by a series of enzymes, the activities of which are controlled by complex factors. Animal cells alter their responses to different growth conditions by changing the structures of GAGs expressed on their cell surfaces and in extracellular matrices. Because this variation is a means whereby the functions of the limited number of protein gene products in animal genomes is elaborated, the phenotypic and functional assessment of GAG structures expressed spatially and temporally is an important goal in glycomics. On-line mass spectrometric separations are essential for successful determination of expression patterns for the GAG compound classes due to their inherent complexity and heterogeneity. Options include size exclusion, anion exchange, reversed phase, reversed phase ion pairing, hydrophilic interaction, and graphitized carbon chromatographic modes and capillary electrophoresis. This review summarizes the application of these approaches to on-line MS analysis of the GAG classes.

Abstract
An improved analytical scheme for human milk neutral oligosaccharides determination was developed, in which, the oligosaccharides were pooled in two fractions (pools 1 and 2) after gel filtration, and then were quantitatively derivatized with a single fluorescent reagent, 2-anthranilic acid. Separation was by reversed-phase HPLC on an ODS-100Z column with a mobile phase of 50 mM ammonium acetate pH 4.0 and 150 mM citrate buffer pH 4.5 and monitored by a fluorescence detector at 360nm excitation and 425 nm emission wavelengths. The method improved on the separation of neutral tetra- and hexa-saccharide isomers, namely, lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) as well as of lacto-N-difucohexaose I (LNDFH I) and lacto-N-difucohexaose II (LNDFH II). The separation of trisacccharide isomers, 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL) and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) was also successful. Limits of detection and quantification were in the range of 1-10 ng/l and 2-30 ng/l, respectively. The methods' accuracy was good with its precision at <20% RSD and <1% RSD, respectively, for oligosaccharide concentration and retention time. The recoveries were in the range of 80-100%. This method was successfully applied to the separation and determination of representative neutral oligosaccharide contents in Samoa women milk.

Abstract
It is well known that most protein therapeutics such as monoclonal antibody pharmaceuticals and other biopharmaceuticals including cancer biomarkers are glycoproteins, and thus the development of high-throughput and sensitive analytical methods for glycans is essential in terms of their determination and quality control. We previously reported a novel alternative labeling method for glycans involving 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl) instead of the conventional reductive amination procedure. The derivatives were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Kamoda S, Nakano M, Ishikawa R, Suzuki S, Kakehi K. 2005. Rapid and sensitive screening of N-glycans as 9-fluorenylmethyl derivatives by high-performance liquid chromatography: A method which can recover free oligosaccharides after analysis. J Proteome Res. 4:146-152). This method was rapid and simple; however, it was time-consuming in terms of analysis by HPLC and did not provide so much information such as the detailed structures and mass numbers of glycans. Here we have developed a high-throughput and highly sensitive method. It comprises three steps, i.e., release of glycans, derivatization with Fmoc, and capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CE-ESI MS) analysis. We analyzed several glycoproteins such as fetuin, alpha1 acid glycoprotein, IgG, and transferrin in order to validate this method. We were able to analyze the above glycoproteins with the three-step procedure within only 5 h, which provided detailed N-glycan patterns. Moreover, the MS/MS analysis allowed identification of the N-glycan structures. As novel applications, the method was employed for the analysis of N-glycans derived from monoclonal antibody pharmaceuticals and also from alpha-fetoprotein; the latter is known as one of the tumor markers of hepatocellular carcinomas. We were able to easily and rapidly determine the detailed structures of the N-glycans. The present method is very useful for the analysis of large numbers of samples such as a routine analysis.

Abstract
N-glycan oligosaccharides of human serum alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP) samples isolated from 43 individuals (healthy individuals and patients with lymphoma and with ovarian tumor) were analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and a multivariate statistical method (linear discriminant analysis, LDA). 34 different glycan structures have been identified. From the glycosylation pattern determined by mass spectrometry fucosylation and branching indices have been calculated. These parameters show only small differences between the patient groups studied, but these differences are not sufficiently large to use as a potential biomarker. LDA analysis, on the other hand shows a very good separation between the three groups (with a classification of 88%). Cross-validation indicates that the method has predictive power: Identifying cancerous vs. healthy individuals shows 96% selectivity and 93% specificity; identification of lymphoma vs. the mixed group of healthy and ovarian tumor cases is also promising (72% selectivity and 84% specificity). The pilot study presented here demonstrates that mass spectrometry combined with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) may provide valuable data for identifying and studying the pathophysiology of malignant diseases.

Abstract
Glycosylation of recombinant proteins is of particular importance because it can play significant roles in the clinical properties of the glycoprotein. In this work, the N-glycan structures of recombinant human Factor IX (tg-FIX) produced in the transgenic pig mammary gland were determined. The majority of the N-glycans of transgenic pig-derived Factor IX (tg-FIX) are complex, bi-antennary with one or two terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) moieties. We also found that the N-glycan structures of tg-FIX produced in the porcine mammary epithelial cells differed with respect to N-glycans from glycoproteins produced in other porcine tissues. tg-FIX contains no detectable Neu5Gc, the sialic acid commonly found in porcine glycoproteins produced in other tissues. Additionally, we were unable to detect glycans in tg-FIX that have a terminal Galalpha(1,3)Gal disaccharide sequence, which is strongly antigenic in humans. The N-glycan structures of tg-FIX are also compared to the published N-glycan structures of recombinant human glycoproteins produced in other transgenic animal species. While tg-FIX contains only complex structures, antithrombin III (goat), C1 inhibitor (rabbit), and lactoferrin (cow) have both high mannose and complex structures. Collectively, these data represent a beginning point for the future investigation of species-specific and tissue/cell-specific differences in N-glycan structures among animals used for transgenic animal bioreactors.

Abstract
Most glycoproteins carry a very heterogeneous mixture of oligosaccharides and even a single glycosylation site of a pure glycoprotein is often heterogeneously glycosylated. The structural diversity of oligosaccharides arises from linkage variants, from differences in the size and number of charges of glycans, and from differences in the monosaccharide composition of glycans. Fortunately, the biosynthetic pathway is subject to certain restrictions, so that structural diversity is limited and amenable to laboratory investigation. Different approaches have been developed to the structural characterization of oligosaccharides, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass-spectrometry, linkage analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), sequence analysis using specific exoglycosidases and others, but a crucial part of these strategies is the separation of the glycan mixture into homogeneous glycan fractions. In this chapter some high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-techniques are described for the isolation of oligosaccharides, in particular N-linked glycans.

Abstract
Glycosylation in the Fc region of antibodies has been shown to play an important role in antibody function. In the current study, glycosylation of human monoclonal antibodies was metabolically modulated using a potent alpha-mannosidase I inhibitor, kifunensine, resulting in the production of antibodies with oligomannose-type N-glycans. Growing Chinese hamster ovary cells for 11 days in batch culture with a single treatment of kifunensine was sufficient to elicit this effect without any significant impact on cell viability or antibody production. Antibodies expressed in the presence of kifunensine at a concentration as low as 60 ng/mL contained mainly oligomannose-type glycans and demonstrated increased ADCC activity and affinity for FcgammaRIIIA, but reduced C1q binding. Although the kifunensine-mediated shift to oligomannose-type glycans could, in theory, result in rapid clearance of the antibody through increased mannose receptor binding, the serum levels of antibody in mice were not significantly altered up to 168 h following injection. The use of kifunensine provides a simple and rapid method for the production of antibodies with increased ADCC without the time-consuming need to re-engineer either the antibody molecule or the host cell line.

Abstract
Majority of protein drugs in development today are glycoproteins e.g. recombinant antibodies expressed in various cell lines. Oligosaccharides through conformational changes can modulate therapeutic value (potency) of glycoproteins e.g. complement dependent cell cytotoxicity (CDCC) and antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) activities of MAbs. Carbohydrate structure analysis in detail is an integral part of protein drug characterization. This not only allows understanding of carbohydrates, but may allow deeper insight into the structure-function of the whole protein molecule. Oligosaccharide mapping by HPLC with fluorescence detection is a powerful technique that sheds considerable light into understanding of glycan structures with minimal effort. Oligosaccharide analysis using pulsed amperometric and/or chromophore detection methods lack resolution, sensitivity and ease of operations. In addition, these older methods are not highly reproducible. Simple labeling chemistry of anthranilic acid (AA) described here provide robust methods with the highest sensitivity and resolution for oligosaccharide analysis. Further, post-chromatography techniques such as mass spectrometry and NMR are amenable to this AA technology for detailed structure analysis.

Abstract
One of the most important structural features of recombinant monoclonal antibodies produced in mammalian cells is the N-linked oligosaccharide profile. These profiles impact recombinant therapeutics in a multitude of ways affecting distribution, efficacy, and immunogenicity. High mannose, alpha-gal and other oligosaccharide species are highly immunogenic and in most cases should be minimized during manufacturing. A recombinant monoclonal antibody, h5G1.1, was produced in NS0 and CHO cell lines and tested to identify changes in the N-linked oligosaccharide profiles caused from a change in cell line. Traditional peak analysis using HPLC with fluorescence detection was augmented by mass spectrometric analysis. Nano LC-MS following tryptic digestion corroborated HPLC findings of the presence of several alpha-gal oligosaccharide species in the recombinant IgG (rIgG) from NS0 cell line. Both cell lines possessed rIgGs with complex and small amounts of high mannose glycans.

Abstract
A number of HPLC and mass spectrometric techniques are used to characterize post-translational modification in recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) using the intact glycoprotein and free glycans. LC separation utilizing fluorescent detection technique allows tentative structural assignment of MAb oligosaccharides. Intact molecular weight analysis via electrospray allows for an accurate mass determination and observation of the native glycoform mass envelope. N-linked oligosaccharides are then analyzed by MALDI-ToF. Their structures are further confirmed by analyzing the fragmentation patterns formed by MS/MS. All these techniques provide useful information when performed in isolation. However, the combined information allows for definitive and robust characterization of the N-linked glycans from recombinant MAbs.

Abstract
A reproducible high-throughput sample cleanup method for fluorescent oligosaccharide mapping of glycoproteins is described. Oligosaccharides are released from glycoproteins using PNGase F and labeled with 2-aminobenzoic acid (anthranilic acid, AA). A PhyNexus MEA system was adapted for automated isolation of the fluorescently labeled oligosaccharides from the reaction mixture prior to mapping by HPLC. The oligosaccharide purification uses a normal-phase polyamide resin (DPA-6S) in custom-made pipette tips. The resin volume, wash, and elution steps involved were optimized to obtain high recovery of oligosaccharides with the least amount of contaminating free fluorescent dye in the shortest amount of time. The automated protocol for sample cleanup eliminated all manual manipulations with a recycle time of 23 min. We have reduced the amount of excess AA by 150-fold, allowing quantitative oligosaccharide mapping from as little as 500 ng digested recombinant immunoglobulin G (rIgG). This low sample requirement allows early selection of a cell line with desired characteristics (e.g., oligosaccharide profile and high specific productivity) for the production of glycoprotein drugs. In addition, the use of Tecan or another robotic platform in conjunction with this method should allow the cleanup of 96 samples in 23 min, a significant decrease in the amount of time currently required to process such a large number of samples.

Abstract
Analysis of oligosaccharides by mass spectrometry (MS) has enabled the investigation of the glycan repertoire of organisms with high resolution and sensitivity. It is difficult, however, to correlate the expression of glycosyltransferases with the glycan structures present in a particular cell type or tissue because the use of MS for quantitative purposes has significant limitations. For this reason, in order to develop a technique that would allow relative glycan quantification by MS analysis between two samples, a procedure was developed for the isotopic labeling of oligosaccharides with (13)C-labeled methyl iodide using standard permethylation conditions. Separate aliquots of oligosaccharides from human milk were labeled with (12)C or (13)C methyl iodide; the labeled and non-labeled glycans were mixed in known proportions, and the mixtures analyzed by MS. Results indicated that the isotopic labeling described here was capable of providing relative quantitative data with a dynamic range of at least two orders of magnitude, adequate linearity, and reproducibility with a coefficient of variation that was 13% on average. This procedure was used to analyze N-linked glycans released from various mixtures of glycoproteins, such as alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, human transferrin, and bovine fetuin, using MS techniques that included matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS and electrospray ionization with ion cyclotron resonance-Fourier transformation MS. The measured (12)C:(13)C ratios from mixtures of glycans permethylated with either (12)CH(3)I or (13)CH(3)I were consistent with the theoretical proportions. This technique is an effective procedure for relative quantitative glycan analysis by MS.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder and is caused by inherited deficiencies of glucocerebrosidase, the enzyme responsible for the lysosomal breakdown of the lipid glucosylceramide. GD is characterized by the accumulation of pathological, lipid laden macrophages, so-called Gaucher cells. Following the development of enzyme replacement therapy for GD, the search for suitable surrogate disease markers resulted in the identification of a thousand-fold increased chitinase activity in plasma from symptomatic Gaucher patients and that decreases upon successful therapeutic intervention. Biochemical investigations identified a single enzyme, named chitotriosidase, to be responsible for this activity. Chitotriosidase was found to be an excellent marker for lipid laden macrophages in Gaucher patients and is now widely used to assist clinical management of patients. In the wake of the identification of chitotriosidase, the presence of other members of the chitinase family in mammals was discovered. Amongst these is AMCase, an enzyme recently implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Chitinases are omnipresent throughout nature and are also produced by vertebrates in which they play important roles in defence against chitin-containing pathogens and in food processing.

Abstract
Recombinant human glucocerebrosidase (imiglucerase, Cerezyme) is used in enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease. Complex oligosaccharides present on Chinese hamster ovary cell-expressed glucocerebrosidase (GCase) are enzymatically remodeled into a mannose core, facilitating mannose receptor-mediated uptake into macrophages. Alternative expression systems could be used to produce GCase containing larger oligomannose structures, offering the possibility of an improvement in targeting to macrophages. A secondary advantage of these expression systems would be to eliminate the need for carbohydrate remodeling. Here, multiple expression systems were used to produce GCase containing primarily terminal oligomannose, from Man2 to Man9. GCase from these multiple expression systems was compared to Cerezyme with respect to affinity for mannose receptor and serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL), macrophage uptake, and intracellular half-life. In vivo studies comparing clearance and targeting of Cerezyme and the Man9 form of GCase were carried out in a Gaucher mouse model (D409V/null). Mannose receptor binding, macrophage uptake, and in vivo targeting were similar for all forms of GCase. Increased MBL binding was observed for all forms of GCase having larger mannose structures than those of Cerezyme, which could influence pharmacokinetic behavior. These studies demonstrate that although alternative cell expression systems are effective for producing oligomannose-terminated glucocerebrosidase, there is no biochemical or pharmacological advantage in producing GCase with an increased number of mannose residues. The display of alternative carbohydrate structures on GCase expressed in these systems also runs the risk of undesirable consequences, such as an increase in MBL binding or a possible increase in immunogenicity due to the presentation of non-mammalian glycans.
