High-Mannose-Type Glycan of Basigin in Endothelial Cells Is Essential for the Opening of the Blood-Brain Barrier Induced by Hypoxia, Cyclophilin A, or Tumor Necrosis Factor-α. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2024; 194:612-625. [PMID: 38040091 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2023.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Pathologic opening of the blood-brain barrier accelerates the progression of various neural diseases. Basigin, as an essential molecule for the opening of the blood-brain barrier, is a highly glycosylated transmembrane molecule specified in barrier-forming endothelial cells. This study analyzed the involvement of basigin in the regulation of the blood-brain barrier focusing on its glycosylation forms. First, basigin was found to be expressed as cell surface molecules with complex-type glycan as well as those with high-mannose-type glycan in barrier-forming endothelial cells. Monolayers of endothelial cells with suppressed expression of basigin with high-mannose-type glycan were then prepared and exposed to pathologic stimuli. These monolayers retained their barrier-forming properties even in the presence of pathologic stimuli, although their expression of basigin with complex-type glycan was maintained. In vivo, the blood-brain barrier in mice pretreated intravenously with endoglycosidase H was protected from opening under pathologic stimuli. Pathologically opened blood-brain barrier in streptozotocin-injected mice was successfully closed by intravenous injection of endoglycosidase H. These results show that high-mannose-type glycan of the basigin molecule is essential for the opening of the blood-brain barrier and therefore a specific target for protection as well as restoration of pathologic opening of the blood-brain barrier.

Abstract
Glycan node analysis (GNA) is a molecularly bottom-up glycomics technique based on the relative quantification of glycan linkage-specific monosaccharide units ("glycan nodes"). It was originally applied to blood plasma/serum, where it detected and predicted progression, reoccurrence, and survival in different types of cancer. Here, we have adapted this technology to previously inaccessible membrane glycoproteins from cultured cells. The approach is facilitated by methanol/chloroform precipitation of cell lysates and a "liquid phase permethylation" (LPP) procedure. LPP gave better signal-to-noise, yield and precision for most of the glycan nodes from membrane glycoproteins/glycolipids than the conventional solid phase permethylation approach. This GNA approach in cell lysates revealed that specific glycan features such as antennary fucosylation, N-glycan branching, and α2,6-sialylation were elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells relative to leukemia cells (THP-1 and K562) and normal donor PBMCs. Additional nodes commonly associated with glycolipids were elevated in the leukemia cells relative to HepG2 cells and PBMCs. Exposure of HepG2 cells to a fucosyltransferase inhibitor resulted in a significant reduction in the relative abundance of 3,4-substituted GlcNAc, which represents antennary fucosylation-providing further proof-of-concept that downregulation of glycosyltransferase activity is detected by shifts in glycan node expression-now detectable in membrane glycoproteins.

Abstract
Breast cancer is responsible for the highest mortality all over the world. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) along with epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) are identified as a driver of cancer which are responsible for cancer metastasis and drug resistance. Several signaling pathways are associated with drug resistance. Additionally, glycosyltransferases regulate different types of glycosylation which are involved in drug resistance. To the end, it is urgent to figure out the knowledge on cell-surface altered N-glycosylation and putative markers. Here, differential cell-surface intact N-glycopeptides in adriamycin (ADR)-resistant michigan breast cancer foundation-7 stem cells (MCF-7/ADR CSCs) relative to ADR-sensitive MCF-7 CSCs were analyzed with site- and structure-specific quantitative N-glycoproteomics. The intact N-glycopeptides and differentially expressed intact N-glycopeptides (DEGPs) were determined and quantified via intact N-glycopeptide search engine GPSeeker. Totally, 4777 intact N-glycopeptides were identified and N-glycan sequence structures among 2764 IDs were distinguished from their isomers by structure-diagnostic fragment ions. Among 1717 quantified intact N-glycopeptides, 104 DEGPs were determined (fold change ≥ 1.5 and p value < 0.05). Annotation of protein-protein interaction and biological processes among others of DEGPs were finally carried out; down-regulated intact N-glycopeptide with bisecting GlcNAc from p38-interacting protein and up-regulated intact N-glycopeptide with β1,6-branching N-glycan from integrin beta-5 were found.

Abstract
A cell, the fundamental unit of life, contains the requisite blueprint information necessary to survive and to build tissues, organs, and systems, eventually forming a fully functional living creature. A slight structural alteration can result in data misprinting, throwing the entire life process off balance. Advances in synthetic biology and cell engineering enable the predictable redesign of biological systems to perform novel functions. Individual functions and fundamental processes at the core of the biology of cells can be investigated by employing a synthetically constrained micro or nanoreactor. However, constructing a life-like structure from nonliving building blocks remains a considerable challenge. Chemical compartments, cascade signaling, energy generation, growth, replication, and adaptation within micro or nanoreactors must be comparable with their biological counterparts. Although these reactors currently lack the power and behavioral sophistication of their biological equivalents, their interface with biological systems enables the development of hybrid solutions for real-world applications, such as therapeutic agents, biosensors, innovative materials, and biochemical microreactors. This review discusses the latest advances in cell membrane-engineered micro or nanoreactors, as well as the limitations associated with high-throughput preparation methods and biological applications for the real-time modulation of complex pathological states.

Abstract
Glycosylation, especially N-glycosylation, is one of the most common protein modifications, with immense importance at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level. Thus, accurate and reliable N-glycan analysis is essential in many areas of pharmaceutical and food industry, medicine, and science. However, due to the complexity of the cellular glycosylation process, in-depth glycoanalysis is still a highly challenging endeavor. Contamination of samples with oligosaccharide impurities (OSIs), typically linear glucose homo-oligomers, can cause further complications. Due to their physicochemical similarity to N-glycans, OSIs produce potentially overlapping signals, which can remain unnoticed. If recognized, suspected OSI signals are usually excluded in data evaluation. However, in both cases, interpretation of results can be impaired. Alternatively, sample preparation can be repeated to include an OSI removal step from samples. However, this significantly increases sample amount, time, and effort necessary. To overcome these issues, we investigated the option to enzymatically degrade and thereby remove interfering OSIs as a final sample preparation step. Therefore, we screened ten commercially available enzymes concerning their potential to efficiently degrade maltodextrins and dextrans as most frequently found OSIs. Of these enzymes, only dextranase from Chaetomium erraticum and glucoamylase P from Hormoconis resinae enabled a degradation of OSIs within only 30 min that is free of side reactions with N-glycans. Finally, we applied the straightforward enzymatic degradation of OSIs to N-glycan samples derived from different standard glycoproteins and various stem cell lysates.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the highly differentiated urothelial apical surface glycome. The functions of the mammalian urothelium, lining the majority of the urinary tract and providing a barrier against toxins in urine, are dependent on the correct differentiation of urothelial cells, relying on protein expression, modification, and complex assembly to regulate the formation of multiple differentiated cell layers. Protein glycosylation, a poorly studied aspect of urothelial differentiation, contributes to the apical glycome and is implicated in the development of urothelial diseases. To enable surface glycome characterization, we developed a method to collect tissue apical surface N- and O-glycans. A simple, novel device using basic laboratory supplies was developed for enzymatic shaving of the luminal bladder urothelial surface, with subsequent release and mass spectrometric analysis of apical surface O- and N-glycans, the first normal mammalian urothelial N-glycome to be defined. Trypsinization of superficial glycoproteins was tracked using immunolabeling of the apically expressed uroplakin 3a protein to optimize enzymatic release, without compromising the integrity of the superficial urothelial layer. The approach developed for releasing apical tissue surface glycans allowed for comparison with the N-glycome of the total porcine bladder urothelial cells and thus identification of apical surface glycans as candidates implicated in the urothelial barrier function. Data are available in MassIve: MSV000087851.

Abstract
Cell membranes have recently emerged as a new source of materials for molecular delivery systems. Cell membranes have been extruded or sonicated to make nanoscale vesicles. Unlike synthetic lipid or polymeric nanoparticles, cell membrane-derived vesicles have a unique multicomponent feature, comprising lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Because cell membrane-derived vesicles contain the intrinsic functionalities and signaling networks of their parent cells, they can overcome various obstacles encountered in vivo. Moreover, the different natural combinations of membranes from various cell sources expand the range of cell membrane-derived vesicles, creating an entirely new category of drug-delivery systems. Cell membrane-derived vesicles can carry therapeutic agents within their interior or can coat the surfaces of drug-loaded core nanoparticles. Cell membranes typically come from single cell sources, including red blood cells, platelets, immune cells, stem cells, and cancer cells. However, recent studies have reported hybrid sources from two different types of cells. This review will summarize approaches for manufacturing cell membrane-derived vesicles and treatment applications of various types of cell membrane-derived drug-delivery systems, and discuss challenges and future directions.

Abstract
A competitive strategy for glycan determination on cell surface with organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) has been developed. The carboxylic multi-wall carbon nanotubes were firstly immobilized on the gate interface to cross-link the specific monose with adipic dihydrazide as the linker, which could then competitively recognize horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled lectin with the target monose on the cell surface. The HRP captured on the gate interface through the affinity of lectin to monose finally catalyzed the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to produce the output current signal for detection of cell surface monose under the optimal gate voltage of 0.9 V. Using mannose and galactose groups as the target models, HRP-labeled concanavalin A and peanut agglutinin were used to competitively recognize these groups on both cell surface and gate interface, respectively. The amounts of mannose and galactose on HeLa cells were measured to be 3.41 × 108 and 2.92 × 108 molecules per cell, respectively. The changes of the mannose and galactose expressions upon external stimulation were also observed with the proposed biosensors, which showed consistent results with flow cytometric analysis, indicating that the OECT-based biosensor is suitable for analysis of different glycan expressions on cell surface.

Abstract
An engineered cyanovirin-N homologue that exhibits specificity for high mannose N-glycans has been constructed to aid type I α 1,2-mannosidase inhibitor discovery and development. Engineering the lectins C-terminus permitted facile functionalization with fluorophores via a sortase and click strategy. The resulting lectin constructs exhibit specificity for cells presenting high mannose N-glycans. Importantly, these lectin constructs can also be applied to specifically assess changes in cell surface glycosylation induced by type I mannosidase inhibitors. Testing the utility of these lectin constructs led to the discovery of type I mannosidase inhibitors with nanomolar potency. Cumulatively, these findings reveal the specificity and utility of the functionalized cyanovirin-N homologue constructs, and highlight their potential in analytical contexts that require high mannose-specific lectins.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is a common posttranslational modification of proteins in eukaryotic cells. The modification is often analyzed in cells which are able to produce extracellular, glycosylated proteins. Here we report an improved method of the use of genetically modified, secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) as a reporter glycoprotein which may be used for glycoanalysis. Additional N-glycosylation sites introduced by site-directed mutagenesis significantly increased secretion of the protein. An improved purification protocol of recombinant SEAP from serum or serum-free media is also proposed. The method enables fast and efficient separation of reporter glycoprotein from a relatively small amount of medium (0.5-10 ml) with a high recovery level. As a result, purified SEAP was ready for enzymatic de-glycosylation without buffer exchange, sample volume reductions or other procedures, which are usually time-consuming and may cause partial loss of the reporter glycoprotein.

Abstract
Glycoprotein therapeutics are among the leading products in the biopharmaceutical industry. The heterogeneity of glycans in therapeutic proteins is an issue for maintaining quality, activity, and safety during bioprocessing. In this study, we knocked out genes encoding Golgi α-mannosidase-II, MAN2A1 and MAN2A2 in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, establishing an M2D-KO cell line that can produce recombinant proteins mainly with hybrid-type N-glycans. Furthermore, FUT8, which encodes α1,6-fucosyltransferase, was knocked out in the M2D-KO cell line, establishing a DF-KO cell line that can express non-core fucosylated hybrid-type N-glycans. Two recombinant proteins, lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA) and constant fragment (Fc) of human IgG1, were expressed in the M2D-KO and DF-KO cell lines. Glycan structural analysis revealed that complex-type N-glycans were removed in both M2D-KO and DF-KO cells. Our results suggest that these cell lines are suitable for the production of therapeutic proteins with hybrid-type N-glycans. Moreover, KO cell lines would be useful as models for researching the mechanism of antimetastatic effects in human tumors by swainsonine treatment.

Abstract
Genome-editing technology has emerged as a potential tool for treating incurable diseases for which few therapeutic modalities are available. In particular, discovery of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system together with the design of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) has sparked medical applications of genome editing. Despite the great promise of the CRISPR/Cas system, its clinical application is limited, in large part, by the lack of adequate delivery technology. To overcome this limitation, researchers have investigated various systems, including viral and nonviral vectors, for delivery of CRISPR/Cas and sgRNA into cells. Among nonviral delivery systems that have been studied are nanovesicles based on lipids, polymers, peptides, and extracellular vesicles. These nanovesicles have been designed to increase the delivery of CRISPR/Cas and sgRNA through endosome escape or using various stimuli such as light, pH, and environmental features. This review covers the latest research trends in nonviral, nanovesicle-based delivery systems that are being applied to genome-editing technology and suggests directions for future progress.

Ectopic expression of 35 kDa and knocking down of 78 kDa SG2NAs induce cytoskeletal reorganization, alter membrane sialylation, and modulate the markers of EMT. Mol Cell Biochem 2020; 476:633-648.

Abstract
SG2NA is a protein of the striatin family that organizes STRIPAK complexes. It has splice variants expressing differentially in tissues. Its 78 kDa isoform regulates cell cycle, maintains homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum, and prevents oxidative injuries. The 35 kDa variant is devoid of the signature WD-40 repeats in the carboxy terminal, and its function is unknown. We expressed it in NIH 3T3 cells that otherwise express 78 kDa variant only. These cells (35 EE) have altered morphology, faster rate of migration, and enhanced growth as measured by the MTT assay. Similar phenotypes were also seen in cells where the endogenous 78 kDa isoform was downregulated by siRNA (78 KD). Proteomic analyses showed that several cancer-associated proteins are modulated in both 35 EE and 78 KD cells. The 35 EE cells have diffused actin fibers, distinctive ultrastructure, reduced sialylation, and increased expression of MMP2 & 9. The 78 KD cells also had diffused actin fibers and an upregulated expression of MMP2. In both cells, markers epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) viz, E- & N-cadherins, β-catenin, slug, vimentin, and ZO-1 were modulated partially in tune with the EMT process. Since NIH 3T3 cells are mesenchymal, we also expressed 35 kDa SG2NA in MCF-7 cells of epithelial origin. In these cells (MCF-7-35), the actin fibers were also diffused and the modulation of the markers was more in tune with the EMT process. However, unlike in 35 EE cells, in MCF-7-35 cells, membrane sialylation rather increased. We infer that ectopic expression of 35 kDa and downregulation of 78 kDa SG2NAs partially induce transformed phenotypes.

N- and O-glycosylation patterns and functional testing of CGB7 versus CGB3/5/8 variants of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) beta subunit. Glycoconj J 2020; 37:599-610.

Abstract
The classical function of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is its role in supporting pregnancy. hCG is a dimer consisting of two highly glycosylated subunits, alpha (CGA) and beta (CGB). The beta-hCG protein is encoded by CGB3, CGB5, CGB7 and CGB8 genes. CGB3, 5 and 8 code for an identical protein, CGB3/5/8, whereas CGB7 differs in three amino acids from CGB3/5/8. We had observed earlier that CGB7 and CGB3/5/8 display very distinct tissue expression patterns and that the tumor suppressor and transcription factor p53 can activate expression of CGB7 but not of CGB3/5/8 genes. Here, we investigate the glycan structures and possible functional differences of the two CGB variants. To this end, we established a system to produce and isolate recombinant CGA, CGB7 and CGB3/5/8 proteins. We found that N- and O-glycosylation patterns of CGB7 and CGB3/5/8 are quite similar. Functional assays were performed by testing activation of the ERK1/2 pathway and demonstrated that CGB7 and CGB5/5/8 appear to be functionally redundant isoforms, although a slight difference in the kinetics of ERK1/2 pathway activation was observed. This is the first time that biological activity of CGB7 is shown. In summary, the results lead to the hypothesis that CGB7 and CGB3/5/8 do not hold significant functional differences but that timing and cell type of their expression is the key for understanding their divergent evolution.

Abstract
Characterisation of protein function based solely on homology searches may overlook functions under specific environmental conditions, or the possibility of a protein having multiple roles. In this study we investigated the role of YtfB, a protein originally identified in a genome-wide screen to cause inhibition of cell division, and has demonstrated to localise to the Escherichia coli division site with some degree of glycan specificity. Interestingly, YtfB also shows homology to the virulence factor OapA from Haemophilus influenzae, which is important for adherence to epithelial cells, indicating the potential of additional function(s) for YtfB. Here we show that E. coli YtfB binds to N’acetylglucosamine and mannobiose glycans with high affinity. The loss of ytfB results in a reduction in the ability of the uropathogenic E. coli strain UTI89 to adhere to human kidney cells, but not to bladder cells, suggesting a specific role in the initial adherence stage of ascending urinary tract infections. Taken together, our results suggest a role for YtfB in adhesion to specific eukaryotic cells, which may be additional, or complementary, to its role in cell division. This study highlights the importance of understanding the possible multiple functions of proteins based on homology, which may be specific to different environmental conditions.

Abstract
Changes in glycosylation signatures of cells have been associated with pathological processes in cancer as well as infectious and autoimmune diseases. The current protocols for comprehensive analysis of N-glycomics and O-glycomics derived from cells and tissues often require a large amount of biological material. They also only allow the processing of very limited numbers of samples at a time. Here we established a workflow for sequential release of N-glycans and O-glycans based on PVDF membrane immobilization in 96-well format from 5 × 105 cells. Released glycans are reduced, desalted, purified, and reconstituted, all in 96-well format plates, without additional staining or derivatization. Glycans are then analyzed with porous graphitized carbon nano-liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry using negative-mode electrospray ionization, enabling the chromatographic resolution and structural elucidation of glycan species including many compositional isomers. The approach was demonstrated using glycoprotein standards and further applied to analyze the glycosylation of the murine mammary gland NMuMG cell line. The developed protocol allows the analysis of N- and O-glycans from relatively large numbers of samples in a less time consuming way with high repeatability. Inter- and intraday repeatability of the fetuin N-glycan analysis showed two median intraday coefficients of variations (CVs) of 7.6% and 8.0%, and a median interday CV of 9.8%. Median CVs of 7.9% and 8.7% for the main peaks of N- and O-glycans released from the NMuMG cell line indicate a very good repeatability. The method is applicable to purified glycoproteins as well as to biofluids and cell- or tissue-based samples.

Abstract
Dual-acting virucidal entry inhibitors (DAVEIs) have previously been shown to cause irreversible inactivation of HIV-1 Env-presenting pseudovirus by lytic membrane transformation. This study examined whether this transformation could be generalized to include membranes of Env-presenting cells. Flow cytometry was used to analyze HEK293T cells transiently transfected with increasing amounts of DNA encoding JRFL Env, loaded with calcein dye, and treated with serial dilutions of microvirin (Q831K/M83R)-DAVEI. Comparing calcein retention against intact Env expression (via Ab 35O22) on individual cells revealed effects proportional to Env expression. "Low-Env" cells experienced transient poration and calcein leakage, while "high-Env" cells were killed. The cell-killing effect was confirmed with an independent mitochondrial activity-based cell viability assay, showing dose-dependent cytotoxicity in response to DAVEI treatment. Transfection with increasing quantities of Env DNA showed further shifts toward "High-Env" expression and cytotoxicity, further reinforcing the Env dependence of the observed effect. Controls with unlinked DAVEI components showed no effect on calcein leakage or cell viability, confirming a requirement for covalently linked DAVEI compounds to achieve Env transformation. These data demonstrate that the metastability of Env is an intrinsic property of the transmembrane protein complex and can be perturbed to cause membrane disruption in both virus and cell contexts.

Abstract
Many invertebrates are either parasites themselves or vectors involved in parasite transmission; thereby, the interactions of parasites with final or intermediate hosts are often mediated by glycans. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the glycan structures or motifs present across invertebrate species. While a typical vertebrate modification such as sialic acid is rare in lower animals, antennal and core modifications of N-glycans are highly varied and range from core fucose, galactosylated fucose, fucosylated galactose, methyl groups, glucuronic acid and sulphate through to addition of zwitterionic moieties (phosphorylcholine, phosphoethanolamine and aminoethylphosphonate). Only in some cases are the enzymatic bases and the biological function of these modifications known. We are indeed still in the phase of discovering invertebrate glycomes primarily using mass spectrometry, but molecular biology and microarraying techniques are complementary to the determination of novel glycan structures and their functions.

Abstract
Cell-surface N-glycans play important roles in both inter- and intracellular processes, including cell adhesion and development, cell recognition, as well as cancer development and metastasis; detailed structural characterization of these N-glycans is thus paramount. Here we report our comparative N-glycomics study of cell-surface N-glycans of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) HepG2 cells vs the normal liver LO2 cells. With sequential trypsin digestion of proteins, C18 depletion of peptides without glycosylation, PNGase F digestion of N-glycopeptides, PGC enrichment of N-glycans, CH3I permethylation of the enriched N-glycans, cell-surface N-glycomes of the HepG2 and LO2 cells were analyzed using C18-RPLC-MS/MS (HCD). With spectrum-level FDR no bigger than 1%, 351 and 310 N-glycans were identified for HepG2 and LO2, respectively, with comprehensive structural information (not only monosaccharide composition, but also sequence and linkage) by N-glycan database search engine GlySeeker. The percentage of hybrid N-glycans with tetra-antennary structures was substantially increased in the HepG2 cells. This comprehensive discovery study of differentially expressed cell-surface N-glycans in HepG2 vs LO2 serves as a solid reference for future validation study of glycosylation markers in HCC.

Abstract
Glycome modulations have been described in the onset and progression of many diseases. Thus, many studies have proposed glycans from blood glycoproteins as disease markers. Astonishingly, little effort has been given unraveling preanalytical conditions potentially influencing glycan analysis prior to blood biomarker studies. In this work, we evaluate for the first time the effect of hemolysis, storage and blood collection, but also influence of various times and temperatures between individual processing steps on the total N-glycome and on a glycan-biomarker score. Venous blood was collected from 10 healthy donors in 11 blood collection tubes with different additives, processed variously to obtain 16 preanalytical variables and N-glycans released from serum or plasma were analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS and capillary electrophoresis coupled with fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) for the first time. Long time storage of deep frozen samples at -20°C or -80°C exerted only a minor influence on the glycome as demonstrated by CE-LIF. The N-glycome was very stable evidenced by MALDI-TOF when stored at 4°C for at least 48 hours and blood collected in tubes devoid of additives. The glycome was stable upon storage after centrifugation and aliquoting, which is an important information considering future diagnostic applications. Hemolysis, however, negatively correlated with an established glycan score for ovarian cancer, when evaluated by MALDI-TOF-MS measurement by affecting relative intensities of certain glycans, which could lead to false negative / positive results in glycan biomarker studies.

Abstract
This review is the eighth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2014.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the smallest partially double-stranded DNA virus known to infect humans. Worldwide, more than 50% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases are related to chronic Hepatitis B. Development of HCC from normal liver cells is characterized by changes in cell surface N-glycans, which can promote the invasive behavior of tumor cells, leading ultimately to the progression of cancer. However, little is understood about the cell surface N-glycans of HBV-infected liver cells. We try to address this by taking advantage of the HepAD38 cell line, which can replicate HBV in the absence of tetracycline [tet(-)] in growth medium. In the presence of tetracycline [tet(+)], this cell line is free from the virus due to the repression of pregenomic (pg) RNA synthesis. In culture medium without tetracycline, cells express viral pgRNA and start to secrete virions into the supernatant. Here we studied the expression of glycosyltransferases and the cell surface N-glycan composition of tet(+) and tet(-) HepAD38. Among the glycosyltransferases upregulated by the expression of HBV were GnT-II, GnT-IVa, ST6Gal1, and GnT-V, whereas GnT-I, GnT-III, β4GalT1, and FUT8 were downregulated. About one-third of the total cell surface N-glycans found on tet(-)HepAD38 were sialylated. As for tet(+)HepAD38, sialylation was 6% lower compared to the tet(-) cells. Neither treatment changed the cell surface N-glycans expression of the total complex type or the total fucosylated type, which were about 50% or 60%, respectively. Our results showed that the expression of HBV triggers higher sialylation in HepAD38 cells. Altogether, the results show that HBV expression triggered the alteration of the cell surface N-glycosylation pattern and the expression levels of glycosyltransferases of HepAD38 cells.

Abstract
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent stem cells that offer a wide range of applications in regenerative medicine. In addition, they have been proposed as an appropriate alternative source of hepatocytes. In this work, hESCs were differentiated into definitive endodermal cells (DECs), followed by maturation into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs). Their cell-surface N-glycome was profiled and also compared with that of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). Undifferentiated hESCs contained large amounts of high-mannose N-glycans. In contrast, complex-type N-glycans such as asialylated or monosialylated biantennary and triantennary N-glycans were dominant in HLCs, and fully galactosylated structures were significantly more abundant than in undifferentiated hESCs. The cell-surface N-glycosylation of PHHs was more biologically processed than that of HLCs, with bisialylated biantennary and trisialylated triantennary structures predominant. This is the first report of the cell surface N-glycome of PHHs and of HLCs being directly generated from hESCs without embryoid body formation.

The underestimated N-glycomes of lepidopteran species. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2017; 1861:699-714.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insects are significant to the environment, agriculture, health and biotechnology. Many of these aspects display some relationship to glycosylation, e.g., in case of pathogen binding or production of humanised antibodies; for a long time, it has been considered that insect N-glycosylation potentials are rather similar and simple, but as more species are glycomically analysed in depth, it is becoming obvious that there is indeed a large structural diversity and interspecies variability. METHODS Using an off-line LC-MALDI-TOF MS approach, we have analysed the N-glycomes of two lepidopteran species (the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni and the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar) as well as of the commonly-used T. ni High Five cell line. RESULTS We detected not only sulphated, glucuronylated, core difucosylated and Lewis-like antennal fucosylated structures, but also the zwitterion phosphorylcholine on antennal GlcNAc residues, a modification otherwise familiar from nematodes; in L. dispar, N-glycans with glycolipid-like antennae containing α-linked N-acetylgalactosamine were also revealed. CONCLUSION The lepidopteran glycomes analysed not only display core α1,3-fucosylation, which is foreign to mammals, but also up to 5% anionic and/or zwitterionic glycans previously not found in these species. SIGNIFICANCE The occurrence of anionic and zwitterionic glycans in the Lepidoptera data is not only of glycoanalytical and evolutionary interest, but is of biotechnological relevance as lepidopteran cell lines are potential factories for recombinant glycoprotein production.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most common posttranslational modifications of proteins that plays essential roles in various biological processes, including protein folding, host-pathogen interaction, immune response, and inflammation and aberrant protein glycosylation is a well-known event in various disease states including cancer. As a result, it is critical to develop rapid and sensitive methods for the analysis of abnormal glycoproteins associated with diseases. Mass spectrometry (MS) in conjunction with different separation methods, such as capillary electrophoresis (CE), ion mobility (IM), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has become a popular tool for glycoprotein analysis, providing highly informative fragments for structural identification of glycoproteins. This review provides an overview of the developments and accomplishments in the field of glycomics and glycoproteomics reported between 2014 and 2016.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a prevalent and lethal infectious disease. The glycobiology associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of frontline alveolar macrophages is still unresolved. Herein, we investigated the regulation of protein N-glycosylation in human macrophages and their secreted microparticles (MPs) used for intercellular communication upon M. tb infection. LC-MS/MS-based proteomics and glycomics were performed to monitor the regulation of glycosylation enzymes and receptors and the N-glycome in in vitro-differentiated macrophages and in isolated MPs upon M. tb infection. Infection promoted a dramatic regulation of the macrophage proteome. Most notably, significant infection-dependent down-regulation (4-26 fold) of 11 lysosomal exoglycosidases, e.g., β-galactosidase, β-hexosaminidases and α-/β-mannosidases, was observed. Relative weak infection-driven transcriptional regulation of these exoglycosidases and a stronger augmentation of the extracellular hexosaminidase activity demonstrated that the lysosome-centric changes may originate predominantly from infection-induced secretion of the lysosomal content. The macrophages showed heterogeneous N-glycan profiles and displayed significant up-regulation of complex-type glycosylation and concomitant down-regulation of paucimannosylation upon infection. Complementary intact N-glycopeptide analysis supported a subcellular-specific manipulation of the glycosylation machinery and altered glycosylation patterns of lysosomal N-glycoproteins within infected macrophages. Interestingly, the corresponding macrophage-derived MPs displayed unique N-glycome and proteome signatures supporting a preferential packaging from plasma membranes. The MPs were devoid of infection-dependent N-glycosylation signatures, but interestingly displayed increased levels of the glyco-initiating oligosaccharyltransferase complex and associated α-glucosidases that correlated with increased formation, N-glycan precursor levels and N-glycan density of infected MPs. In conclusion, this system-wide study provides new insight into the host- and pathogen-driven N-glycoproteome manipulation of macrophages in TB.

Abstract
AIM To show the existence of a structural formative role of magnetic fields (MFs) with respect to biological objects by using our proposed model of an acupoint. METHODS We introduced a magnetised 10-100 μT metal rod (needle) into culture dishes with a negatively charged working surface and observed during 24 h how cells were arranged by MFs and by electrical fields (EFs) when attached. Rat and human bone marrow-derived stromal stem cells (rBMSCs and hBMSCs), human nonadherent mononuclear blood cells, NCTCs and A172 cells, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were evaluated. The dish containing BMSCs was defined as the model of an acupoint. rBMSCs proliferative activity affected by the needle was investigated. For investigating electromagnetic field structures, we used the gas discharge visualisation (GDV) method. RESULTS During 24 h of incubation in 50-mm culture dishes, BMSCs or the nonadherent cells accumulated into a central heap in each dish. BMSCs formed a torus (central ring) with an inner diameter of approximately 10 mm only upon the introduction of the needle in the centre of the dish. The cells did not show these effects in 35- or 90-mm culture dishes or hydrophobic dishes or rectangular cuvettes. NCTCs and A172 cells showed unstable the effects and only up to two weeks after thawing. Moreover, we observed that the appearance of these effects depended on the season. In winter, BMSCs showed no the effects. GDV experiments revealed that the resonant annular illumination gradually formed from 10 to 18-20 s in polar solutions with and without cell suspension of BMSCs, NCTCs and E. coli when using circular 50-mm dishes, stimulation at 115 V and switching of the electrode poles at 1 kHz. All these data demonstrate the resonant nature of the central ring. Significant influence of MFs on the rBMSC proliferation rate was not observed. CONCLUSION BMSCs can be moved by MFs when in the presence of a constant EF and MF, when the cells are in the responsive functional state, and when there is a resonant relationship between them.

Abstract
Environmental and metabolic processes shape the profile of glycoprotein glycans expressed by cells, whether in culture, developing tissues, or mature organisms. Quantitative characterization of glycomic changes associated with these conditions has been achieved historically by reductive coupling of oligosaccharides to various fluorophores following release from glycoprotein and subsequent HPLC or capillary electrophoretic separation. Such labeling-based approaches provide a robust means of quantifying glycan amount based on fluorescence yield. Mass spectrometry, on the other hand, has generally been limited to relative quantification in which the contribution of the signal intensity for an individual glycan is expressed as a percent of the signal intensity summed over the total profile. Relative quantification has been valuable for highlighting changes in glycan expression between samples; sensitivity is high, and structural information can be derived by fragmentation. We have investigated whether MS-based glycomics is amenable to absolute quantification by referencing signal intensities to well-characterized oligosaccharide standards. We report the qualification of a set of N-linked oligosaccharide standards by NMR, HPLC, and MS. We also demonstrate the dynamic range, sensitivity, and recovery from complex biological matrices for these standards in their permethylated form. Our results indicate that absolute quantification for MS-based glycomic analysis is reproducible and robust utilizing currently available glycan standards.

Abstract
Although the importance of glycosylation has been thoroughly recognized in association with a number of biological processes, efficient assessments of glycans have been hampered by both the limited size of specimens and lengthy sample preparations, particularly in clinical settings. Here we report a simple preparative method for N-glycan analyses. It involves only short one-step chloroform-methanol extraction in presence or absence of water prior to PNGase F deglycosylation. The procedure was successfully applied to the investigation of N-glycans obtained from small numbers of in vitro cultured cancer cells (≤1 × 10(5)) and to tumor tissues, including patient biopsies of small size. MALDI-MS analysis confirmed the efficient release of all N-glycan types including complex forms with poly-N-acetyllactosamine chains. In addition, nonaqueous extraction of specimens from several established cancer cell lines, as well as patient tumor tissues, yielded high-mannose glycans with one GlcNAc moiety (Man3-9GlcNAc), strongly suggesting preservation of enzymatic activity analogous to Endo H enzyme. In summary, the method is both a step toward the practical use of glycan profiling and a way to detect Endo H-like activity in cancer specimens.

Abstract
Membrane proteins mediate cell-cell interactions and adhesion, the transfer of ions and metabolites, and the transmission of signals from the extracellular environment to the cell interior. The extracellular domains of most cell membrane proteins are glycosylated, often at multiple sites. There is a growing awareness that glycosylation impacts the structure, interaction, and function of membrane proteins. The application of glycoproteomics and glycomics methods to membrane proteins has great potential. However, challenges also arise from the unique physical properties of membrane proteins. Successful analytical workflows must be developed and disseminated to advance functional glycoproteomics and glycomics studies of membrane proteins. This review explores the opportunities and challenges related to glycomic and glycoproteomic analysis of membrane proteins, including discussion of sample preparation, enrichment, and MS/MS analyses, with a focus on recent successful workflows for analysis of N- and O-linked glycosylation of mammalian membrane proteins.

Abstract
Various cancers such as colorectal cancer (CRC) are associated with alterations in protein glycosylation. CRC cell lines are frequently used to study these (glyco)biological changes and their mechanisms. However, differences between CRC cell lines with regard to their glycosylation have hitherto been largely neglected. Here, we comprehensively characterized the N-glycan profiles of 25 different CRC cell lines, derived from primary tumors and metastatic sites, in order to investigate their potential as glycobiological tumor model systems and to reveal glycans associated with cell line phenotypes. We applied an optimized, high-throughput membrane-based enzymatic glycan release for small sample amounts. Released glycans were derivatized to stabilize and differentiate between α2,3- and α2,6-linked N-acetylneuraminic acids, followed by N-glycosylation analysis by MALDI-TOF(/TOF)-MS. Our results showed pronounced differences between the N-glycosylation patterns of CRC cell lines. CRC cell line profiles differed from tissue-derived N-glycan profiles with regard to their high-mannose N-glycan content but showed a large overlap for complex type N-glycans, supporting their use as a glycobiological cancer model system. Importantly, we could show that the high-mannose N-glycans did not only occur as intracellular precursors but were also present at the cell surface. The obtained CRC cell line N-glycan features were not clearly correlated with mRNA expression levels of glycosyltransferases, demonstrating the usefulness of performing the structural analysis of glycans. Finally, correlation of CRC cell line glycosylation features with cancer cell markers and phenotypes revealed an association between highly fucosylated glycans and CDX1 and/or villin mRNA expression that both correlate with cell differentiation. Together, our findings provide new insights into CRC-associated glycan changes and setting the basis for more in-depth experiments on glycan function and regulation.

Abstract
Glypicans are multifunctional cell surface proteoglycans involved in several important cellular signaling pathways. Glypican-1 (Gpc1) is the predominant heparan sulfate proteoglycan in the developing and adult human brain. The two N-linked glycans and the C-terminal domain that attach the core protein to the cell membrane are not resolved in the Gpc1 crystal structure. Therefore, we have studied Gpc1 using crystallography, small angle x-ray scattering, and chromatographic approaches to elucidate the composition, structure, and function of the N-glycans and the C terminus and also the topology of Gpc1 with respect to the membrane. The C terminus is shown to be highly flexible in solution, but it orients the core protein transverse to the membrane, directing a surface evolutionarily conserved in Gpc1 orthologs toward the membrane, where it may interact with signaling molecules and/or membrane receptors on the cell surface, or even the enzymes involved in heparan sulfate substitution in the Golgi apparatus. Furthermore, the N-glycans are shown to extend the protein stability and lifetime by protection against proteolysis and aggregation.
