Abstract
Glycosylated proteins or glycoproteins make up a large family of glycoconjugates, and they participate in a variety of fundamental biological events. Glycoproteins have become important biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of tumors. Biosensors are quite suitable for glycoprotein detection. The design and fabrication of a functional sensing interface play a crucial role in the biosensor construction to target glycoproteins. The functional interface, particularly receptors, typically determines the key characteristics of a biosensor, such as selectivity and sensitivity. Antibody, peptide, aptamer, boronic acid derivative, lectin, and molecularly imprinted polymer are all capable receptors for glycoprotein recognition, and each of these will be discussed. Most glycoproteins exist in low abundance, thus rendering signal amplification techniques indispensable. Nucleic acid-mediated and nanomaterial-mediated signal amplification for the detection of glycoproteins will be focused on herein. This review aims to highlight these different functional interfaces for glycoprotein sensing.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is a crucial factor that must be evaluated in biological pharmaceuticals. The glycoform profile of a protein can vary depending on the conditions of the cultivation, purification process, and the selection of a host cell. Lectin microarrays are reliable bioanalytical methods used in the early phases of bioprocesses for the detection of glycosylation. The concept of a fully automated glycan detection with a bead array has been previously reported; however, no simple system has been constructed on fluorescence-based detection using a microarray. Here, we present a fully automated detection system equipped with a novel fluorescence detector for a 13-lectin bead array with a single tip. The lattice-like arrangement of a set of fibers proximate to the tip of the light emitting diode and photomultiplier tube detector minimized the noise caused by the reflection of incident light on the plastic capillary tip and bead. A unique rolling-circle fiber unit with quadruple lattices stacked in two layers realizes the 8-parallel automeasurement with a drastic reduction in scanning time and machine size. The 8-glycan profiles obtained automatically within 25 min were identical with those obtained with the conventional lectin microarray after overnight incubation. The signals obtained were represented as lectin dotcodes. Therefore, autolectin dotcoding assisted by the twin 8 legs named as "detection and irradiation octopuses" may be a rapid glyco-evaluation system during the production and development of biopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
We attempted to construct and evaluate a novel detection method to realize simultaneous detection based on a multiplex liquid protein chip technique for nine nutrition-and-health-related protein markers to meet the requirement of an accurate, simultaneous and comprehensive analysis of the proteomics of nutrition and health. The lower limits of detection, biological limits of detection and regression equations of serum ferritin (SF), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), c-reactive protein (CRP), retinol-binding protein4 (RBP4), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), prealbumin (PA), carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and D-Dimmer (D-D) were determined after a series of optimal experiments. Then, the results of the methodological evaluation for this novel method indicated that the accuracies were between 70.12% and 127.07%, the within-run precisions were between 0.85% and 7.31%, the between-run precisions were between 3.53% and 19.07%, the correlation coefficients between this method and other methods were above 0.504 (p < 0.05), and the direct bilirubin (DBIL) of low concentration and the indirect bilirubin (IBIL) of high concentration could not interfere with the detected results of nine indicators. The novel multiplex detection method, which can increase accuracy and improve the ability of comprehensive analysis, can basically meet the requirement of detection and the diagnosis of the proteomics of nutrition and health.

Simplifying the detection and monitoring of protein glycosylation during in vitro glycoengineering. Sci Rep 2023; 13:567. [PMID: 36631484 PMCID: PMC9834283 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-27634-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The majority of mammalian proteins are glycosylated, with the glycans serving to modulate a wide range of biological activities. Variations in protein glycosylation can have dramatic effects on protein stability, immunogenicity, antibody effector function, pharmacological safety and potency, as well as serum half-life. The glycosylation of therapeutic biologicals is a critical quality attribute (CQA) that must be carefully monitored to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Notably, many factors can affect the composition of the glycans during glycoprotein production, and variations in glycosylation are among the leading causes of pharmaceutical batch rejection. Currently, the characterization of protein glycosylation relies heavily on methods that employ chromatography and/or mass spectrometry, which require a high level of expertise, are time-consuming and costly and, because they are challenging to implement during in-process biologics production or during in vitro glycan modification, are generally performed only post-production. Here we report a simplified approach to assist in monitoring glycosylation features during glycoprotein engineering, that employs flow cytometry using fluorescent microspheres chemically coupled to high-specificity glycan binding reagents. In our GlycoSense method, a range of carbohydrate-sensing microspheres with distinct optical properties may be combined into a multiplex suspension array capable of detecting multiple orthogonal glycosylation features simultaneously, using commonplace instrumentation, without the need for glycan release. The GlycoSense method is not intended to replace more detailed post-production glycan profiling, but instead, to complement them by potentially providing a cost-effective, rapid, yet robust method for use at-line as a process analytic technology (PAT) in a biopharmaceutical workflow or at the research bench. The growing interest in using in vitro glycoengineering to generate glycoproteins with well-defined glycosylation, provides motivation to demonstrate the capabilities of the GlycoSense method, which we apply here to monitor changes in the protein glycosylation pattern (GlycoPrint) during the in vitro enzymatic modification of the glycans in model glycoproteins.

Abstract
Lectins, discovered more than 100 years ago and defined by their ability to selectively recognize specific carbohydrate structures, are ubiquitous in living organisms. Their precise functions are as yet under-explored and incompletely understood but they are clearly involved, through recognition of their binding partners, in a myriad of biological mechanisms involved in cell identity, adhesion, signaling, and growth regulation in health and disease. Understanding the complex "sugar code" represented by the "glycome" is a major challenge and at the forefront of current biological research. Lectins have been widely employed in histochemical studies to map glycosylation in cells and tissues. Here, a brief history of the discovery of lectins and early developments in their use is presented along with a selection of some of the most interesting and significant discoveries to emerge from the use of lectin histochemistry. Further, an evaluation of the next generation of lectin-based technologies is presented, including the potential for designing recombinant lectins with more precisely defined binding characteristics, linking lectin-based studies with other technologies to answer fundamental questions in glycobiology and approaches to exploring the interactions of lectins with their binding partners in more detail.

Abstract
Many proteins in living organisms are glycosylated. As their glycan patterns exhibit protein-, cell-, and tissue-specific heterogeneity, changes in the glycosylation levels could serve as useful indicators of various pathological and physiological states. Thus, the identification of glycoprotein biomarkers from specific changes in the glycan profiles of glycoproteins is a trending field. Lectin microarrays provide a new glycan analysis platform, which enables rapid and sensitive analysis of complex glycans without requiring the release of glycans from the protein. Recent developments in lectin microarray technology enable high-throughput analysis of glycans in complex biological samples. In this review, we will discuss the basic concepts and recent progress in lectin microarray technology, the application of lectin microarrays in biomarker discovery, and the challenges and future development of this technology. Given the tremendous technical advancements that have been made, lectin microarrays will become an indispensable tool for the discovery of glycoprotein biomarkers.

Abstract
Lectin is a biomolecule that recognizes a specific part of glycans and, thus, has been used widely as a probe for glycoprotein analysis. Owing to the wide repertoire in nature combined with the recent two decades of advances in microarray technology, the multiplexed use of lectins has been widely used for glycan profiling of endogenous proteins. Because protein glycosylation is recognized as being biologically important and is expected to be a reliable disease marker, lectin microarray analysis with highly sensitive detection has been used to discover disease-relevant glycosylation alterations. However, the conventional system is limited to research purposes; thus, its implementation in clinical settings is warranted. Here, we provide an automatic glycan profiling method using GlycoBIST. A unique array format is used for 10-plexed lectin-glycoprotein interaction analysis on 1-mm-sized beads, which are arranged vertically in a capillary-shaped plastic tip. Using a one-boxed autopipetting machine, the whole process (including interaction, washing, and detection) is performed automatically and serially, resulting in reproducible measurements. In this article, a typical method for glycan profiling of a purified glycoprotein and the fabrication of GlycoBIST tips is explained. © 2020 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Abstract
Despite all major breakthroughs in recent years of research, we are still unsuccessful to effectively diagnose and treat cancer that has express and metastasizes. Thus, the development of a novel approach for cancer detection and treatment is crucial. Recent progress in Glyconanotechnology has allowed the use of glycans and lectins as bio-functional molecules for many biological and biomedical applications. With the known advantages of quantum dots (QDs) and versatility of carbohydrates and lectins, Glyco-functionalised QD is a new prospect in constructing biomedical imaging platform for cancer behaviour study as well as treatment. In this review, we aim to describe the current utilisation of Glyco-functionalised QDs as well as their future prospective to interpret and confront cancer.

Abstract
Cancer has high incidence and it will continue to increase over the next decades. Detection and quantification of cancer-associated biomarkers is frequently carried out for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring at various disease stages. It is well-known that glycosylation profiles change significantly during oncogenesis. Aberrant glycans produced during tumorigenesis are, therefore, valuable molecules for detection and characterization of cancer, and for therapeutic design and monitoring. Although glycoproteomics has benefited from the development of analytical tools such as high performance liquid chromatography, two-dimensional gel and capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, these approaches are not well suited for rapid point-of-care (POC) testing easily performed by medical staff. Lectins are biomolecules found in nature with specific affinities toward particular glycan structures and bind them thus forming a relatively strong complex. Because of this characteristic, lectins have been used in analytical techniques for the selective capture or separation of certain glycans in complex samples, namely, in lectin affinity chromatography, or to characterize glycosylation profiles in diverse clinical situations, using lectin microarrays. Lectin-based biosensors have been developed for the detection of specific aberrant and cancer-associated glycostructures to aid diagnosis, prognosis and treatment assessment of these patients. The attractive features of biosensors, such as portability and simple use make them highly suitable for POC testing. Recent developments in lectin biosensors, as well as their potential and pitfalls in cancer glycan biomarker detection, are presented in this chapter.

Abstract
Glycoproteins are major players in the mucus protective barrier in the gastrointestinal and other mucosal surfaces. In particular the mucus glycoproteins, or mucins, are responsible for the protective gel barrier. They are characterized by their high carbohydrate content, present in their variable number, tandem repeat domains. Throughout evolution the mucins have been maintained as integral components of the mucosal barrier, emphasizing their essential biological status. The glycosylation of the mucins is achieved through a series of biosynthetic pathways processes, which generate the wide range of glycans found in these molecules. Thus mucins are decorated with molecules having information in the form of a glycocode. The enteric microbiota interacts with the mucosal mucus barrier in a variety of ways in order to fulfill its many normal processes. How bacteria read the glycocode and link to normal and pathological processes is outlined in the review.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of lectins for screening of potential biomarkers has gained increased importance in cancer research, given the development in glycobiology that highlights altered structural changes of glycans in cancer associated processes. Lectins, having the properties of recognizing specific carbohydrate moieties of glycoconjugates, have become an effective tool for detection of new cancer biomarkers in complex bodily fluids and tissues. The specificity of lectins provides an added advantage of selecting peptides that are differently glycosylated and aberrantly expressed in cancer patients, many of which are not possibly detected using conventional methods because of their low abundance in bodily fluids. When coupled with mass spectrometry, research utilizing lectins, which are mainly from plants and fungi, has led to identification of numerous potential cancer biomarkers that may be used in the future. This article reviews lectin-based methods that are commonly adopted in cancer biomarker discovery research.

Kang JG, Ko JH, Kim YS. Application of cancer-associated glycoforms and glycan-binding probes to an in vitro diagnostic multivariate index assay for precise diagnoses of cancer. Proteomics 2016; 16:3062-3072. [PMID: 27005968 PMCID: PMC5217075 DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201500553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2015] [Revised: 03/09/2016] [Accepted: 03/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Personalized medicine has emerged as a widely accepted trend in medicine for the efficacious and safe treatment of various diseases. It covers every medical treatment tailored according to various properties of individuals. Cancer-associated glycosylation mirrors cancer states more precisely, and this "sweet side of cancer" is thus intended to spur the development of an advanced in vitro diagnostic system. The changes of glyco-codes are often subtle and thus not easy to trace, thereby making it difficult to discriminate changes from various compounding factors. Special glycan-binding probes, often lectins, can be paired with aglycosylated antibodies to enable quantitative and qualitative measurements of glycoforms. With the in vitro diagnosis multivariate index assay (IVDMIA) considered to be capable of yielding patient-specific results, the combinatorial use of multiple glycoproteins may be a good modality to ensure disease-specific, personalized diagnoses.

[PMID: 26841254 DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201500404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2015] [Revised: 01/25/2016] [Accepted: 01/28/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
The majority of cell differentiation associated tumor markers reported to date are either glycoproteins or glycolipids. Despite there being a large number of glycoproteins reported as candidate markers for various cancers, only a handful are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Lectins, which bind to the glycan part of the glycoproteins, can be exploited to identify aberrant glycosylation patterns, which in turn would help in enhancing the specificity of cancer diagnosis. Although conventional techniques such as HPLC and MS have been instrumental in performing the glycomic analyses, these techniques lack multiplexity. Lectin microarrays have proved to be useful in studying multiple lectin-glycan interactions in a single experiment and, with the advances made in the field, hold a promise of enabling glycomic profiling of cancers in a fast and efficient manner.

Abstract
The present review is an update of the previous one published in Proteomics 2015 Reviews special issue [Jorrin-Novo, J. V. et al., Proteomics 2015, 15, 1089-1112] covering the July 2014-2015 period. It has been written on the bases of the publications that appeared in Proteomics journal during that period and the most relevant ones that have been published in other high-impact journals. Methodological advances and the contribution of the field to the knowledge of plant biology processes and its translation to agroforestry and environmental sectors will be discussed. This review has been organized in four blocks, with a starting general introduction (literature survey) followed by sections focusing on the methodology (in vitro, in vivo, wet, and dry), proteomics integration with other approaches (systems biology and proteogenomics), biological information, and knowledge (cell communication, receptors, and signaling), ending with a brief mention of some other biological and translational topics to which proteomics has made some contribution.

Abstract
We summarize here the recent progress in fluorescence-based bioassays for the detection and evaluation of food materials by focusing on fluorescent dyes used in bioassays and applications of these assays for food safety, quality and efficacy. Fluorescent dyes have been used in various bioassays, such as biosensing, cell assay, energy transfer-based assay, probing, protein/immunological assay and microarray/biochip assay. Among the arrays used in microarray/biochip assay, fluorescence-based microarrays/biochips, such as antibody/protein microarrays, bead/suspension arrays, capillary/sensor arrays, DNA microarrays/polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based arrays, glycan/lectin arrays, immunoassay/enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based arrays, microfluidic chips and tissue arrays, have been developed and used for the assessment of allergy/poisoning/toxicity, contamination and efficacy/mechanism, and quality control/safety. DNA microarray assays have been used widely for food safety and quality as well as searches for active components. DNA microarray-based gene expression profiling may be useful for such purposes due to its advantages in the evaluation of pathway-based intracellular signaling in response to food materials.

Abstract
Osteopontin (OPN) plays a key role in multiple physiological and pathological processes such as cytokine production, mineralization, inflammation, immune responses, and tumorigenesis. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of OPN significantly affect its structure and biological properties; however, site-specific characterization of O-glycosylation in human OPN has not been reported. In this work, we profiled the overall glycan pattern of human recombinant OPN using a lectin array and completed detailed structural analysis of O-glycopeptides by mass spectrometry (MS). We detected 28 O-glycopeptides from 7 O-glycosylation regions of human OPN, occupied by highly heterogeneous O-glycans. These O-glycans carried, in part, functionally relevant epitopes such as T antigens (Galβ1-3GalNAcα1-), sialyl-Tn antigens, sialyl-T antigens, and sialyl-Le(x/a) antigens [Neuα2-3Galβ1-4(Fucα1-3)GlcNAc/Neuα2-3Galβ1-3(Fucα1-4)GlcNAc]. MS(3) spectra of the generated O-glycopeptides showed cleavages of the peptide backbone and provided essential information on the peptide sequence. Furthermore, 26 phosphorylation sites were identified by reverse-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS/MS), including a novel one (Y209). We provide a detailed, site-specific structural characterization of O-glycosylation and identify the phosphorylation sites of OPN. These data lay the foundation for further research into the role of oligosaccharides and phosphorylation of recombinant human OPN. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Medical Proteomics.
