Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) harbor abundant glycans that mediate various functions, such as intercellular communication and disease advancement, which play significant roles in disease progression. However, the presence of EV heterogeneity in body fluids and the complex nature of the glycan structures have posed challenges for the detection of EV glycans. In this study, we provide a streamlined method integrated, membrane-specific separation with lectin-induced aggregation strategy (MESSAGE), for multiplexed profiling of EV glycans. By leveraging a rationally designed lectin-induced aggregation strategy, the expression of EV glycans is converted to size-based signals. With the assistance learning machine algorithms, the MESSAGE strategy with high sensitivity, specificity, and simplicity can be used for early cancer diagnosis and classification, as well as monitoring cancer metastasis via 20 μL plasma sample within 2 h. Furthermore, our platform holds promise for advancing the field of EV-based liquid biopsy for clinical applications, opening new possibilities for the profiling of EV glycan signatures in various disease states.

Abstract
The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has facilitated the profiling of glycosylation genes at a single-cell level in complex biological systems, but the significance of these gene signatures to the composition of the glycocalyx remains ambiguous. Here, we used lectin microarrays to characterize the composition of cell surface glycans in human and mouse corneas and determine its relationship to single-cell transcriptomic data. Our results identify a series of cell surface glycan signatures that are unique to the different cell types of the human cornea and that correlate, to a certain extent, with the transcriptional expression of glycosylation genes. These include pathways involved in the biosynthesis of O-glycans in epithelial cells and core fucose on stromal and endothelial cell surfaces. Moreover, we show that human and mouse corneas display some structural differences in terms of cell surface glycan composition. These results could provide insights into the specialized function of individual cell types in the cornea and foster the identification of novel cornea-specific biomarkers.

Simplifying the detection and monitoring of protein glycosylation during in vitro glycoengineering. Sci Rep 2023; 13:567.

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
Poor lifestyle choices and genetic predisposition are factors that increase the number of cancer cases, one example being breast cancer, the third most diagnosed type of malignancy. Currently, there is a demand for the development of new strategies to ensure early detection and treatment options that could contribute to the complete remission of breast tumors, which could lead to increased overall survival rates. In this context, the glycans observed at the surface of cancer cells are presented as efficient tumor cell markers. These carbohydrate structures can be recognized by lectins which can act as decoders of the glycocode. The application of plant lectins as tools for diagnosis/treatment of breast cancer encompasses the detection and sorting of glycans found in healthy and malignant cells. Here, we present an overview of the most recent studies in this field, demonstrating the potential of lectins as: mapping agents to detect differentially expressed glycans in breast cancer, as histochemistry/cytochemistry analysis agents, in lectin arrays, immobilized in chromatographic matrices, in drug delivery, and as biosensing agents. In addition, we describe lectins that present antiproliferative effects by themselves and/or in conjunction with other drugs in a synergistic effect.

Abstract
Glycomics aims to identify the structure and function of the glycome, the complete set of oligosaccharides (glycans), produced in a given cell or organism, as well as to identify genes and other factors that govern glycosylation. This challenging endeavor requires highly robust, sensitive, and potentially automatable analytical technologies for the analysis of hundreds or thousands of glycomes in a timely manner (termed high-throughput glycomics). This review provides a historic overview as well as highlights recent developments and challenges of glycomic profiling by the most prominent high-throughput glycomic approaches, with N-glycosylation analysis as the focal point. It describes the current state-of-the-art regarding levels of characterization and most widely used technologies, selected applications of high-throughput glycomics in deciphering glycosylation process in healthy and disease states, as well as future perspectives.

Abstract
Glycans are essential building blocks of life that are located at the outermost surface of all cells from mammals to bacteria and even viruses. Cell surface glycans mediate multicellular communication in diverse biological processes and are useful as "surface markers" to identify cells. Various single-cell sequencing technologies have already emerged that enable the high-throughput analysis of omics information, such as transcriptome and genome profiling on a cell-by-cell basis, which has advanced our understanding of complex multicellular interactions. However, there has been no robust technology to analyze the glycome in single cells, mainly because glycans with branched and heterogeneous structures cannot be readily amplified by polymerase chain reactions like nucleic acids. We hypothesized that the generation of lectins conjugated with DNA barcodes (DNA-barcoded lectins) would enable the conversion of glycan information to gene information, which may be amplified and measured using DNA sequencers. This technology will enable the simultaneous analysis of glycan and RNA in single cells. Based on this concept, we developed a technology to analyze glycans and RNA in single cells, which was referred to as scGR-seq. Using scGR-seq, we acquired glycan and gene expression profiles of individual cells constituting heterogeneous cell populations, such as tissues. We further extended Glycan-seq to the profiling of the surface glycans of bacteria and even gut microbiota. Glycan-seq and scGR-seq are new technologies that enable us to elucidate the function of glycans in cell-cell and cell-microorganism communication, which extends glycobiology to the level of single cells and microbiomes.

Abstract
The proteome represents all the proteins expressed by a genome, a cell, a tissue, or an organism at any given time under defined physiological or pathological circumstances. Proteomic analysis has provided unparalleled opportunities for the discovery of expression patterns of proteins in a biological system, yielding precise and inclusive data about the system. Advances in the proteomics field opened the door to wider knowledge of the mechanisms underlying various post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, including glycosylation. As of yet, the role of most of these PTMs remains unidentified. In this state-of-the-art review, we present a synopsis of glycosylation processes and the pathophysiological conditions that might ensue secondary to glycosylation shortcomings. The dynamics of protein glycosylation, a crucial mechanism that allows gene and pathway regulation, is described. We also explain how-at a biomolecular level-mutations in glycosylation-related genes may lead to neuropsychiatric manifestations and neurodegenerative disorders. We then analyze the shortcomings of glycoproteomic studies, putting into perspective their downfalls and the different advanced enrichment techniques that emanated to overcome some of these challenges. Furthermore, we summarize studies tackling the association between glycosylation and neuropsychiatric disorders and explore glycoproteomic changes in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We finally conclude with the role of glycomics in the area of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and provide perspectives on the clinical application of glycoproteomics as potential diagnostic tools and their application in personalized medicine.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous glycoconjugates present on the cell membrane; they play significant roles in many bioprocesses such as cell adhesion, embryonic development, signal transduction and carcinogenesis. Analyzing such amphiphilic molecules is a major challenge in the field of glycosphingolipidomics. We provide a step-by-step protocol that uses a lectin microarray to analyze GSL glycans from cultured cells. The procedure describes (i) extraction of GSLs from cell pellets, (ii) N-monodeacylation using sphingolipid ceramide N-deacylase digestion to form lyso-GSLs, (iii) fluorescence labeling at the newly exposed amine group, (iv) preparation of a lectin microarray, (v) GSL-glycan analysis by a lectin microarray, (vi) complementary mass spectrometry analysis and (vii) data acquisition and analysis. This method is high-throughput, low cost and easy to conduct, and it provides detailed information about glycan linkages. This protocol takes ~10 d.

Abstract
Found in virtually every organism, glycans are essential molecules that play important roles in almost every aspect of biology. The composition of glycome, the repertoire of glycans in an organism or a biological sample, is often found altered in many diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, metabolic and developmental disorders. Understanding how glycosylation and glycomic changes enriches our knowledge of the mechanisms of disease progression and sheds light on the development of novel therapeutics. However, the inherent diversity of glycan structures imposes challenges on the experimental characterization of glycomes. Advances in high-throughput glycomic technologies enable glycomic analysis in a rapid and comprehensive manner. In this review, we discuss the analytical methods currently used in high-throughput glycomics, including mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography and lectin microarray. Concomitant with the technical advances is the integration of glycomics into systems biology in the recent years. Herein we elaborate on some representative works from this recent trend to underline the important role of glycomics in such integrated approaches to disease.

Abstract
The glycosylation of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of immunoglobulins (Ig) is critical for the modulation of antibody effects on inflammation. Moreover, antibody glycosylation may induce pathologic modifications and ultimately contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases. Thanks to progress in the analysis of glycosylation, more data are available on IgG and its subclass structures in the context of autoimmune diseases. In this review, we focused on the impact of Ig glycosylation in autoimmunity, describing how it modulates the immune response and how glycome profiles can be used as biomarkers of disease activity. The analysis of antibody glycosylation demonstrated specific features in human autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune liver diseases, among others. Within the same disease, different patterns are associated with disease severity and treatment options. Future research may increase the information available on the distinct glycome profiles and expand their potential role as biomarkers and as targets for treatment, ultimately favoring an individualized approach.

Abstract
Abnormal glycan structures are valuable biomarkers for disease states; the development of glycan-specific binders is thereby significantly important. However, the structural homology and weak immunogenicity of glycans pose major hurdles in the evolution of antibodies, while the poor availability of complex glycans also has extremely hindered the selection of anti-glycan aptamers. Herein, we present a new approach to efficiently screen aptamers toward specific glycans with a complex structure, using a glycosylated peptide as a scaffold. In this method, using peptide-imprinted magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as a versatile platform, a glycopeptide tryptically digested from a native glycoprotein was selectively entrapped for positive selection, while a nonglycosylated analogue with an identical peptide sequence was synthesized for negative selection. Alternating positive and negative selection steps were carried out to guide the directed evolution of glycan-binding aptamers. As proof of the principle, the biantennary digalactosylated disialylated N-glycan A2G2S2, against which there have been no antibodies and lectins so far, was employed as the target. With the glycoprotein transferrin as a source of target glycan, two satisfied anti-A2G2S2 aptamers were selected within seven rounds. Since A2G2S2 is upregulated in cancerous liver cells, carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled aptamers were prepared as fluorescent imaging reagents, and successful differentiation of cancerous liver cells over normal liver cells was achieved, which demonstrated the application feasibility of the selected aptamers. This approach obviated a tedious glycan preparation process and allowed favorable expose of the intrinsic flexible conformation of natural glycans. Therefore, it holds great promise for developing glycan-specific aptamers for challenging applications such as cancer targeting.

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
Carbohydrates are one of the most powerful and versatile classes of biomolecules that nature
uses to regulate organisms’ biochemistry, modulating plenty of signaling events within cells, triggering
a plethora of physiological and pathological cellular behaviors. In this framework, glycan carrier
systems or carbohydrate-decorated materials constitute interesting and relevant tools for medicinal
chemistry applications. In the last few decades, efforts have been focused, among others, on the development
of multivalent glycoconjugates, biosensors, glycoarrays, carbohydrate-decorated biomaterials
for regenerative medicine, and glyconanoparticles. This review aims to provide the reader with a general
overview of the different carbohydrate carrier systems that have been developed as tools in different
medicinal chemistry approaches relying on carbohydrate-protein interactions. Given the extent of
this topic, the present review will focus on selected examples that highlight the advancements and potentialities
offered by this specific area of research, rather than being an exhaustive literature survey of
any specific glyco-functionalized system.

Glycosylation of Zika Virus is Important in Host-Virus Interaction and Pathogenic Potential. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20205206.

Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a global public health issue due to its association with severe developmental disorders in infants and neurological disorders in adults. ZIKV uses glycosylation of its envelope (E) protein to interact with host cell receptors to facilitate entry; these interactions could also be important for designing therapeutics and vaccines. Due to a lack of proper information about Asn-linked (N-glycans) on ZIKV E, we analyzed ZIKV E of various strains derived from different cells. We found ZIKV E proteins being extensively modified with oligomannose, hybrid and complex N-glycans of a highly heterogeneous nature. Host cell surface glycans correlated strongly with the glycomic features of ZIKV E. Mechanistically, we observed that ZIKV N-glycans might play a role in viral pathogenesis, as mannose-specific C-type lectins DC-SIGN and L-SIGN mediate host cell entry of ZIKV. Our findings represent the first detailed mapping of N-glycans on ZIKV E of various strains and their functional significance.

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
Glycosylation is a post-translational modification that is often altered in disease development and progression, including cancer. In cancerous patients, the abnormal expression of glycosylation enzymes leads to aberrant glycosylation, which has been linked to malignant tissues. Due to aberrant glycosylation, the presence of specific glycans can be used as biomarkers for identifying the type and stage of cancer. Glycan structures are heterogeneous, with different protein glycoforms having different functional activities. Lectins are an important tool in glycan analysis due to their specificity in binding to unique glycan linkages and monosaccharide units, which allows for the identification of unique glycan structural properties. In this review, we will discuss the use of lectins in microarrays and chromatography for characterizing glycan structures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aberrant glycosylation has been associated with many diseases. Decades of research activities have reported many reliable glycan biomarkers of different diseases which enable effective disease diagnostics and prognostics. However, none of the glycan markers have been approved for clinical diagnosis. Thus, a review of these studies is needed to guide the successful clinical translation. Area covered: In this review, we describe and discuss advances in analytical methods enabling clinical glycan biomarker discovery, focusing only on studies of released glycans. This review also summarizes the different glycobiomarkers identified for cancers, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, hepatitis B and C, and other diseases. Expert commentary: Along with the development of techniques in quantitative glycomics, more glycans or glycan patterns have been reported as better potential biomarkers of different diseases and proved to have greater diagnostic/diagnostic sensitivity and specificity than existing markers. However, to successfully apply glycan markers in clinical diagnosis, more studies and verifications on large biological cohorts need to be performed. In addition, faster and more efficient glycomic strategies need to be developed to shorten the turnaround time. Thus, glycan biomarkers have an immense chance to be used in clinical prognosis and diagnosis of many diseases in the near future.

Abstract
There is a high desire for novel targets/biomarkers to diagnose and treat colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, an approach starting from a polyacrylamide hydrogel-based lectin microarray is presented to screen the high expression of glycans on the CRC cell surface and to identify new lectin biomarkers for CRC. Three common CRC cell lines (SW480, SW620, and HCT116) and one normal colon cell line (NCM460) are profiled on the microarray with 27 lectins. The experimental results reveal that CRC cells highly express the glycans with d-galactose, d-glucose, and/or sialic acid residues, and Uelx Europaeus Agglutinin-I (UEA-I) exhibits reasonable specificity with SW480 cells. After conjugation of UEA-I with silica-coated NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+@NaGdF4 upconversion nanoparticles, the follow-up in vitro and in vivo experiments provide further evidence on that UEA-I can serve as tumor-targeting molecule to diagnose SW480 tumor by multimodal imaging including upconversion luminescence imaging, T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and X-ray computed tomography imaging.

Abstract
Lectins, characterized by their carbohydrate-binding ability, have extensive practical applications. However, their industrial use is limited due to impurity. Thus, quality-controlled production of recombinant lectin is necessary. In this study, the algal lectin BPL3 (Bryopsis plumosa lectin 3) was successfully produced using a bacterial expression system, BL21(DE3), with an artificial repeated structure (dimeric construct). Recombinant dimeric BPL3 (rD2BPL3) was confirmed by LC-MS/MS spectrometry. Expression efficiency was greater for the construct with the repeat structure (rD2BPL3) than the monomeric form (rD1BPL3). Optimal conditions for expression were 1 mM IPTG at 20 °C. Recombinant lectin was purified under denaturing conditions and refolded by the flash dilution method. Recombinant BPL3 was solubilized in 1× PBS containing 2 M urea. rD2BPL3 showed strong hemagglutination activity using human erythrocyte. rD2BPL3 had a similar sugar specificity to that of the native protein, i.e., to N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc). Glycan array results showed that recombinant BPL3 and native BPL3 exhibited different binding properties. Both showed weak binding activity to α-Man-Sp. Native BPL3 showed strong binding specificity to the alpha conformation of amino sugars, and rD2BPL3 had binding activity to the beta conformation. The process developed in this study was suitable for the quality-controlled large-scale production of recombinant lectins.

Abstract
The identification of carbohydrate-protein interactions is central to our understanding of the roles of cell-surface carbohydrates (the glycocalyx), fundamental for cell-recognition events. Therefore, there is a need for fast high-throughput biochemical tools to capture the complexity of these biological interactions. Here, we describe a rapid method for qualitative label-free detection of carbohydrate-protein interactions on arrays of simple synthetic glycans, more complex natural glycosaminoglycans (GAG), and lectins/carbohydrate binding proteins using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The platform can unequivocally identify proteins that are captured from either purified or complex sample mixtures, including biofluids. Identification of proteins bound to the functionalized array is achieved by analyzing either the intact protein mass or, after on-chip proteolytic digestion, the peptide mass fingerprint and/or tandem mass spectrometry of selected peptides, which can yield highly diagnostic sequence information. The platform described here should be a valuable addition to the limited analytical toolbox that is currently available for glycomics.

Abstract
This review covers the basics and some applications of methodologies for the analysis of glycoprotein glycans. Analytical techniques used for glycoprotein glycans, including liquid chromatography (LC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), mass spectrometry (MS), and high-throughput analytical methods based on microfluidics, were described to supply the essentials about biopharmaceutical and biomarker glycoproteins. We will also describe the MS analysis of glycoproteins and glycopeptides as well as the chemical and enzymatic releasing methods of glycans from glycoproteins and the chemical reactions used for the derivatization of glycans. We hope the techniques have accommodated most of the requests from glycoproteomics researchers.

Abstract
Compartmentalization of cellular components and their associated biological processes is crucial for cellular function. Protein glycosylation provides a basis for diversity of protein functions. Diversity of glycan composition in animal cells remains poorly understood. We used differential centrifugation techniques to isolate four subcellular protein fractions from homogenate of metastatic bladder YTS1 cells, low grade nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer KK47 cells and normal bladder epithelia HCV29 cells: microsomal (Mic), mitochondrial (Mito), nuclear (Nuc), and cytosolic (Cyto). An integrated strategy combining lectin microarray and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis was then applied to evaluate protein glycosylation of the four fractions. Lectin microarray analysis revealed significant differences among the four fractions in terms of glycan binding to the lectins LCA, AAL, MPL, WGA and PWM in YTS1 cell, STL, Jacalin, VVA, LCA and WGA in KK47, and ConA, GNA, VVA and ACA in HCV29 cell. Among a total of 40, 32 and 15 N-glycans in four fractions of three cells detected by MS analysis, high-mannose and fucosylated structures were predominant, 10 N-glycans in YTS1, 5 N-glycans in KK47 and 7 N-glycans in HCV29 were present in all four fractions; and 10 N-glycans in YTS1, 16 N-glycans in KK47, and 3 N-glycans in HCV29 were present in only one fraction. Glycans in the latter category are considered potential markers for the corresponding organelles. The integrated strategy described here allows detailed examination of glycomes subcellular fraction with high resolution and sensitivity, and will be useful for elucidation of the functional roles of glycans and corresponding glycosylated proteins in distinct organelles.

Abstract
A sialic acid-binding lectin (SRC) was created from the C-terminal domain of an R-type N-acetyl lactosamine-binding lectin (EW29Ch) by natural evolution-mimicry. Here, we clarified its sialic acid-binding mechanism using NMR spectroscopy. The NMR analysis showed differences between conformations of the 6'-sialyllactose-bound SRC in the solution state and that in the crystal state, and differences between the internal motion of the loop region in subdomain γ in SRC and that of the corresponding region in EW29Ch. The NMR analysis thus provided useful information to explain the manner of binding to 6'-sialyllactose in solution, which the previous X-ray crystal structure analysis lacked.

Lectin binding of human sperm associates with DEFB126 mutation and serves as a potential biomarker for subfertility. Sci Rep 2016; 6:20249.

Abstract
Coating on the sperm surface, glycocalyx, plays a key role in sperm motility, maturation and fertilization. A comprehensive profile of sperm surface glycans will greatly facilitate both basic researches and clinical studies. Because of the capability of recognizing different glycan moieties, lectins are widely used in glycobiology. However, lacking high-throughput technology, limited lectins have been reported for analyzing the glycan of human sperm. In this study, we employed a lectin microarray for profiling the surface glycans of human sperm, on which 54 out of 91 lectins showed positive binding. Based on this technique, we compared lectin binding profiling of sperm with homozygous DEFB126 mutation (del/del) with that of wild type (wt/wt). DEFB126 was reported to contribute to the sialylation on sperm surface and its homozygous mutation was related to male subfertility. Six lectins (Jacalin/AIA, GHA, ACL, MPL, VVL and ABA) were found to develop lower binding affinity to sperm with del/del. Further validation showed that these lectins, especially ABA and MPL, can be potential biomarkers for clinical diagnosis of subfertility due to the mutation of DEFB126. Our research provides insight into the detection of some unexplained male subfertility, and the lectin microarray is generally applicable for infertility/subfertility sperm biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are glycoproteins produced by living cell systems. The glycan moieties attached to the proteins can directly affect protein stability, bioactivity, and immunogenicity. Therefore, glycan variants of a glycoprotein product must be adequately analyzed and controlled to ensure product quality. However, the inherent complexity of protein glycosylation poses a daunting analytical challenge. This review provides an update of recent advances in glycan analysis, including the potential utility of lectin-based microarray for high throughput glycan profiling. Emphasis is placed on comparison of the major types of analytics for use in determining unique glycan features such as glycosylation site, glycan structure, and content.

Abstract
Changes in cell surface glycosylation occur during the development and differentiation of cells and have been widely correlated with the progression of several diseases. Because of their structural diversity and sensitivity to intra- and extracellular conditions, glycans are an indispensable tool for analyzing cellular transformations. Glycans present on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) mediate interactions with billions of native microorganisms, which continuously populate the mammalian gut. A distinct feature of IECs is that they differentiate as they migrate upwards from the crypt base to the villus tip. In this study, nano-LC/ESI QTOF MS profiling was used to characterize the changes in glycosylation that correspond to Caco-2 cell differentiation. As Caco-2 cells differentiate to form a brush border membrane, a decrease in high mannose type glycans and a concurrent increase in fucosylated and sialylated complex/hybrid type glycans were observed. At day 21, when cells appear to be completely differentiated, remodeling of the cell surface glycome ceases. Differential expression of glycans during IEC maturation appears to play a key functional role in regulating the membrane-associated hydrolases and contributes to the mucosal surface innate defense mechanisms. Developing methodologies to rapidly identify changes in IEC surface glycans may lead to a rapid screening approach for a variety of disease states affecting the GI tract.

Abstract
DNA/RNA and protein microarrays have proven their outstanding bioanalytical performance throughout the past decades, given the unprecedented level of parallelization by which molecular recognition assays can be performed and analyzed. Cell microarrays (CMAs) make use of similar construction principles. They are applied to profile a given cell population with respect to the expression of specific molecular markers and also to measure functional cell responses to drugs and chemicals. This review focuses on the use of cell-based microarrays for assessing the cytotoxicity of drugs, toxins, or chemicals in general. It also summarizes CMA construction principles with respect to the cell types that are used for such microarrays, the readout parameters to assess toxicity, and the various formats that have been established and applied. The review ends with a critical comparison of CMAs and well-established microtiter plate (MTP) approaches.

Abstract
Plant lectins have attracted much attention for biomedical applications including targeted drug delivery system and therapy against tumors and microbial infections. The main problem of using lectins as a biomedical tool is a batch-to-batch variation in isoforms content. The production of lectins using recombination tools has the advantage of obtaining high amounts of proteins with more precise properties, but there are only a handful of functional recombinant lectins presently available. A fetuin/asialo-fetuin specific lectin, Rhodobindin, has unique tandem repeats structure which makes it useful in exploiting for recombinant lectin. We developed three functional recombinant lectins using E. coli expression system: one from full cDNA sequence and two from fragmentary sequences of Rhodobindin. Hemagglutinating activity and solubility of the recombinant lectins were highest at OD 0.7 cell concentration at 20 °C. The optimized process developed in this study was suitable for the quality-controlled production of high amounts of soluble recombinant lectins.

Abstract
Recent research has uncovered unexpected ways that glycans contribute to biology, as well as new strategies for combatting disease using approaches involving glycans. To make full use of glycans for clinical applications, we need more detailed information on the location, nature, and dynamics of glycan expression in vivo. Such studies require the use of specimens acquired directly from patients. Effective studies of clinical specimens require low-volume assays, high precision measurements, and the ability to process many samples. Assays using affinity reagents-lectins and glycan-binding antibodies-can meet these requirements, but further developments are needed to make the methods routine and effective. Recent advances in the use of glycan-binding proteins involve improved determination of specificity using glycan arrays; the availability of databases for mining and analyzing glycan array data; lectin engineering methods; and the ability to quantitatively interpret lectin measurements. Here, we describe many of the challenges and opportunities involved in the application of these new approaches to the study of biological samples. The new tools hold promise for developing methods to improve the outcomes of patients afflicted with diseases characterized by aberrant glycan expression.

Abstract
Electrochemical enzyme-linked lectinsorbent assays (ELLA) were developed using nanoporous gold (NPG) as a solid support for protein immobilization and as an electrode for the electrochemical determination of the product of the reaction between alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and p-aminophenyl phosphate (p-APP), which is p-aminophenol (p-AP). Glycoproteins or concanavalin A (Con A) and ALP conjugates were covalently immobilized onto lipoic acid self-assembled monolayers on NPG. The binding of Con A - ALP (or soybean agglutinin - ALP) conjugate to glycoproteins covalently immobilized on NPG and subsequent incubation with p-APP substrate was found to result in square-wave voltammograms whose peak difference current varied with the identity of the glycoprotein. NPG presenting covalently bound glycoproteins was used as the basis for a competitive electrochemical assay for glycoproteins in solution (transferrin and IgG). A kinetic ELLA based on steric hindrance of the enzyme-substrate reaction and hence reduced enzymatic reaction rate after glycoprotein binding is demonstrated using immobilized Con A-ALP conjugates. Using the immobilized Con A-ALP conjugate, the binding affinity of immunoglobulin G (IgG) was found to be 105 nM, and that for transferrin was found to be 650 nM. Minimal interference was observed in the presence of 5 mg mL-1 BSA as a model serum protein in both the kinetic and competitive ELLA. Inhibition studies were performed with methyl D-mannoside for the binding of TSF and IgG to Con A-ALP; IC50 values were found to be 90 μM and 286 μM, respectively. Surface coverages of proteins were estimated using solution depletion and the BCA protein concentration assay.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy biosensor for selective detection and discrimination of the cancer-associated sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen was developed by using Sambucus nigra agglutinin type I (SNA-I) as the recognition element. The SNA-I biosensor was constructed by immobilizing the lectin on screen-printed gold electrodes. The formation of a complex between SNA-I and STn-containing glycoproteins (transferrin and bovine submaxillary mucin) was monitored by measuring the impedance increase of the biosensor. The increase in electron transfer resistance was linearly proportional to the concentration of the glycoproteins up to 70 ng of transferrin and 40 ng of bovine submaxillary mucin, with a limit of detection of 20 ng for transferrin. Albumin, the most abundant serum protein, did not interfere in the detection of the STn-glycoproteins up to a concentration of 0.2 mg ml(-1). The developed lectin-based biosensor was used to evaluate the STn-expression in serum samples and discriminate samples from healthy individuals and patients with different types of malignant tumors, mostly carcinomas, where the increased expression of STn aberrant glycans is well established. This work demonstrates the feasibility of employing SNA-I to selectively recognize the STn epitope in glycoproteins and the use of the constructed biosensor was effective in the analysis of serum samples with the ability to discriminate in a fast way between cancer and healthy status. The proposed biosensor could be used for high-throughput, label-free profiling of the cancer-associated STn glycan expression in serum for diagnosis and therapy monitoring.

Generating novel recombinant prokaryotic lectins with altered carbohydrate binding properties through mutagenesis of the PA-IL protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2014; 1840:2091-104. [PMID: 24462641 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2014.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2013] [Revised: 12/17/2013] [Accepted: 01/13/2014] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prokaryotic lectins offer significant advantages over eukaryotic lectins for the development of enhanced glycoselective tools. Amenability to recombinant expression in Escherichia coli simplifies their production and presents opportunities for further genetic manipulation to create novel recombinant prokaryotic lectins (RPLs) with altered or enhanced carbohydrate binding properties. This study explored the potential of the α-galactophilic PA-IL lectin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa for use as a scaffold structure for the generation of novel RPLs. METHOD Specific amino acid residues in the carbohydrate binding site of a recombinant PA-IL protein were randomly substituted by site-directed mutagenesis. The resulting expression clones were then functionally screened to identify clones expressing rPA-IL proteins with altered carbohydrate binding properties. RESULTS This study generated RPLs exhibiting diverse carbohydrate binding activities including specificity and high affinity for β-linked galactose and N-acetyl-lactosamine (LacNAc) displayed by N-linked glycans on glycoprotein targets. Key amino acid substitutions were identified and linked with specific carbohydrate binding activities. Ultimately, the utility of these novel RPLs for glycoprotein analysis and for selective fractionation and isolation of glycoproteins and their glycoforms was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS The carbohydrate binding properties of the PA-IL protein can be significantly altered using site-directed mutagenesis strategies to generate novel RPLs with diverse carbohydrate binding properties. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The novel RPLs reported would find a broad range of applications in glycobiology, diagnostics and in the analysis of biotherapeutics. The ability to readily produce these RPLs in gram quantities could enable them to find larger scale applications for glycoprotein or biotherapeutic purification.

Abstract
Probing the interaction forces that drive biomolecular recognition on cell surfaces is essential for understanding diverse biological processes. Force spectroscopy has been a widely used dynamic analytical technique, allowing measurement of such interactions at the molecular and cellular level. The capabilities of working under near physiological environments, combined with excellent force and lateral resolution make atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based force spectroscopy a powerful approach to measure biomolecular interaction forces not only on non-biological substrates, but also on soft, dynamic cell surfaces. Over the last few years, AFM-based force spectroscopy has provided biophysical insight into how biomolecules on cell surfaces interact with each other and induce relevant biological processes. In this review, we focus on describing the technique of force spectroscopy using the AFM, specifically in the context of probing cell surfaces. We summarize recent progress in understanding the recognition and interactions between macromolecules that may be found at cell surfaces from a force spectroscopy perspective. We further discuss the challenges and future prospects of the application of this versatile technique.

Abstract
Lectin-based glycomics is an emerging, comprehensive technology in the post-genome sciences. The technique utilizes a panel of lectins, which is a group of biomolecules capable of deciphering "glycocodes," with a novel platform represented by a lectin microarray. The method enables multiple glycan-lectin interaction analyses to be made so that differential glycan profiling can be performed in a rapid and sensitive manner. This approach is in clear contrast to another advanced technology, mass spectrometry, which requires prior glycan liberation. Although the lectin microarray cannot provide definitive structures of carbohydrates and their attachment sites, it gives useful clues concerning the characteristic features of glycoconjugates. These include differences not only in terminal modifications (e.g., sialic acid (Sia) linkage, types of fucosylation) but also in higher ordered structures in terms of glycan density, depth, and direction composed for both N- and O-glycans. However, before this technique began to be implemented in earnest, many other low-throughput methods were utilized in the late twentieth century. In this chapter, the author describes how the current lectin microarray technique has developed based on his personal experience.

Abstract
We report bovine serum albumin (BSA)-boronic acid (BA) conjugates as lectin mimetics and their glyco-capturing capacity. The BSA-BA conjugates were synthesized by amidation of carboxylic acid groups in BSA with aminophenyl boronic acid in the presence of EDC, and were characterized by Alizarin Red S (ARS) assay and SDS-PAGE gel. The BSA-BA conjugates were immobilized onto maleimide-functionalized silica beads and their sugar capturing capacity and specificity were confirmed by ARS displacement assay. Further, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis of the glyco-capturing activity of the BSA-BA conjugates was conducted by immobilizing BSA-BA onto SPR gold chip. Overall, we demonstrated a BSA-BA-based lectin mimetics for glyco-capturing applications. These lectin mimetics are expected to provide an important tool for glycomics and biosensor research and applications.
