Abstract
Human diseases often correlate with changes in protein glycosylation, which can be observed in serum or plasma samples. N-glycosylation, the most common form, can provide potential biomarkers for disease prognosis and diagnosis. However, glycoproteins constitute a relatively small proportion of the total proteins in human serum and plasma compared to the non-glycosylated protein albumin, which constitutes the majority. The detection of microheterogeneity and low glycan abundance presents a challenge. Mass spectrometry facilitates glycoproteomics research, yet it faces challenges due to interference from abundant plasma proteins. Therefore, methods have emerged to enrich N-glycans and N-linked glycopeptides using glycan affinity, chemical properties, stationary phase chemical coupling, bioorthogonal techniques, and other alternatives. This review focuses on N-glycans and N-glycopeptides enrichment in human serum or plasma, emphasizing methods and applications. Although not exhaustive, it aims to elucidate principles and showcase the utility and limitations of glycoproteome characterization.

Abstract
Advances in mass spectrometry instrumentation, methods development, and bioinformatics have greatly improved the ease and accuracy of site-specific, quantitative glycoproteomics analysis. Data-dependent acquisition is the most popular method for identification and quantification of glycopeptides; however, complete coverage of glycosylation site glycoforms remains elusive with this method. Targeted acquisition methods improve the precision and accuracy of quantification, but at the cost of throughput and discoverability. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) holds great promise for more complete and highly quantitative site-specific glycoproteomics analysis, while maintaining the ability to discover novel glycopeptides without prior knowledge. We review additional features that can be used to increase selectivity and coverage to the DIA workflow: retention time modeling, which would simplify the interpretation of complex tandem mass spectra, and ion mobility separation, which would maximize the sampling of all precursors at a giving chromatographic retention time. The instrumentation and bioinformatics to incorporate these features into glycoproteomics analysis exist. These improvements in quantitative, site-specific analysis will enable researchers to assess glycosylation similarity in related biological systems, answering new questions about the interplay between glycosylation state and biological function.

Abstract
Glycans introduce complexity to the proteins to which they are attached. These modifications vary during the progression of many diseases; thus, they serve as potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. The immense structural diversity of glycans makes glycosylation analysis and quantitation difficult. Fortunately, recent advances in analytical techniques provide the opportunity to quantify even low-abundant glycopeptides and glycans derived from complex biological mixtures, allowing for the identification of glycosylation differences between healthy samples and those derived from disease states. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different quantitative glycomics analysis methods is important for selecting the best strategy to analyze glycosylation changes in any given set of clinical samples. To provide guidance towards selecting the proper approach, we discuss four widely used quantitative glycomics analysis platforms, including fluorescence-based analysis of released N-linked glycans and three different varieties of MS-based analysis: liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of glycopeptides, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS, and LC-ESI-MS analysis of released N-linked glycans. These methods' strengths and weaknesses are compared, particularly associated with the figures of merit that are important for clinical biomarker studies, including: the initial sample requirements, the methods' throughput, sample preparation time, the number of species identified, the methods' utility for isomer separation and structural characterization, method-related challenges associated with quantitation, repeatability, the expertise required, and the cost for each analysis. This review, therefore, provides unique guidance to researchers who endeavor to undertake a clinical glycomics analysis by offering insights on the available analysis technologies.

Abstract
Aiming to reduce the gap between in vitro and in vivo environment, a complex culture medium, Plasmax, was introduced recently, which includes nutrients and metabolites with concentrations normally found in human plasma. Herein, to study the influence of this medium on cellular behaviors, we utilized Plasmax to cultivate two cancer cell lines, including one breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231BR, and one brain cancer cell line, CRL-1620. Cancer cells were harvested and prepared for transcriptomics and proteomics analyses to assess the discrepancies caused by the different nutritional environments of Plasmax and two commercial media: DMEM, and EMEM. Total RNAs of cells were extracted using mammalian total RNA extract kits and analyzed by next-generation RNA sequencing; proteomics analyses were performed using LC-MS/MS. Gene oncology and pathway analysis were employed to study the affected functions. The cellular invasion and cell death were inhibited in MDA-MB-231BR cell line when cultured in Plasmax compared to DMEM and EMEM, whereas the invasion, migration and protein synthesis of CRL-1620 cell line were activated in Plasmax in relative to both commercial media. The expression changes of some proteins were more significant compared to their corresponding transcripts, indicating that Plasmax has more influence upon regulatory processes of proteins after translation. This work provides complementary information to the original study of Plasmax, aiming to facilitate the selection of appropriate media for in vitro cancer cell studies.

Abstract
The early complement components have emerged as mediators of pro-oncogenic inflammation, classically inferred to cause terminal complement activation, but there are limited data on the activity of terminal complement in cancer. We previously reported elevated serum and tissue C9, the terminal complement component, in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) compared to the precursor condition Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) and healthy controls. Here, we investigate the level and cellular fates of the terminal complement complex C5b-9, also known as the membrane attack complex. Punctate C5b-9 staining and diffuse C9 staining was detected in BE and EAC by multiplex immunohistofluorescence without corresponding increase of C9 mRNA transcript. Increased C9 and C5b-9 staining were observed in the sequence normal squamous epithelium, BE, low- and high-grade dysplasia, EAC. C5b-9 positive esophageal cells were morphologically intact, indicative of sublytic or complement-evasion mechanisms. To investigate this at a cellular level, we exposed non-dysplastic BE (BAR-T and CP-A), high-grade dysplastic BE (CP-B and CP-D) and EAC (FLO-1 and OE-33) cell lines to the same sublytic dose of immunopurified human C9 (3 µg/ml) in the presence of C9-depleted human serum. Cellular C5b-9 was visualized by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. Shed C5b-9 in the form of extracellular vesicles (EV) was measured in collected conditioned medium using recently described microfluidic immunoassay with capture by a mixture of three tetraspanin antibodies (CD9/CD63/CD81) and detection by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) after EV labelling with C5b-9 or C9 antibody conjugated SERS nanotags. Following C9 exposure, all examined cell lines formed C5b-9, internalized C5b-9, and shed C5b-9+ and C9+ EVs, albeit at varying levels despite receiving the same C9 dose. In conclusion, these results confirm increased esophageal C5b-9 formation during EAC development and demonstrate capability and heterogeneity in C5b-9 formation and shedding in BE and EAC cell lines following sublytic C9 exposure. Future work may explore the molecular mechanisms and pathogenic implications of the shed C5b-9+ EV.

Abstract
Glycoproteomics, or the simultaneous characterization of glycans and their attached peptides, is increasingly being employed to generate catalogs of glycopeptides on a large scale. Nevertheless, quantitative glycoproteomics remains challenging even though isobaric tagging reagents such as tandem mass tags (TMT) are routinely used for quantitative proteomics. Here, we present a workflow that combines the enrichment or fractionation of TMT-labeled glycopeptides with size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) for an in-depth and quantitative analysis of the glycoproteome. We applied this workflow to study the cellular glycoproteome of an isogenic mammary epithelial cell system that recapitulated oncogenic mutations in the PIK3CA gene, which codes for the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase catalytic subunit. As compared to the parental cells, cells with mutations in exon 9 (E545K) or exon 20 (H1047R) of the PIK3CA gene exhibited site-specific glycosylation alterations in 464 of the 1999 glycopeptides quantified. Our strategy led to the discovery of site-specific glycosylation changes in PIK3CA mutant cells in several important receptors, including cell adhesion proteins such as integrin β-6 and CD166. This study demonstrates that the SEC-based enrichment of glycopeptides is a simple and robust method with minimal sample processing that can easily be coupled with TMT-labeling for the global quantitation of glycopeptides.

Abstract
For the first time a hybrid molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) doped with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (γ-MPS)-modified mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15 for target peptide recognition has been developed. Zinc acrylate and methacrylic acid were used as binary functional monomers, and ethylene dimethacrylate was used as cross-linking agent to prepare an imprinted monolith against Val-Tyr-Ala-Leu-Lys(glutarylation) (VYALKglu). The morphology of the polymers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and 1H NMR. The SBA-15-MPS MIP showed high recovery of 87.1% and the IF of 12.9 for the enrichment of the template peptide. When the template peptide concentration ranged from 5 to 90 μg mL-1, the correlation coefficients (R2) for the calibration function obtained was better 0.999. The limit of detection (LOD, 0.30 μg mL-1) and limit of quantification (LOQ, 1.0 μg mL-1) were achieved for signal-to-noise ratios of 3:1 and 10:1, respectively. When other kinds of synthetic peptides were used as analogs, the selectivity of the SBA-15-MPS MIP was much better than the SBA-15-MPS NIP (without template peptides) with relative selectivity coefficients of 52.8-265. In contrast, little quinolones and biogenic amines are adsorbed with the SBA-15-MPS MIP. The SBA-15-MPS MIP could enrich VYALKglu from spiked histone digestion with the average recovery of 87.8% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.99%. As a conclusion, doping of SBA-15 is an effective approach to the improvement of performance of molecularly imprinted monolith.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mast cells are involved in many distinct pathologic conditions, suggesting that they recognize and respond to various stimuli and thus require a rich repertoire of cell surface proteins. However, mast cell surface proteomes have not been comprehensively characterized. OBJECTIVE We aimed to further characterize the mast cell surface proteome to obtain a better understanding of how mast cells function in health and disease. METHODS We enriched for glycosylated surface proteins expressed in mouse bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells (BMCMCs) and identified them using mass spectrometry analysis. The presence of novel surface proteins in mast cells was validated by real-time quantitative PCR and flow cytometry analysis in BMCMCs and peritoneal mast cells (PMCs). We developed a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) gene editing approach to disrupt genes of interest in BMCMCs. RESULTS The glycoprotein enrichment approach resulted in the identification of 1270 proteins in BMCMCs, 378 of which were localized to the plasma membrane. The most common protein classes among plasma membrane proteins were small GTPases, receptors, and transporters. One such cell surface protein was CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc), encoded by the Slc3a2 gene. Slc3a2 gene disruption resulted in a significant reduction in CD98hc expression, adhesion, and proliferation. CONCLUSIONS Glycoprotein enrichment coupled with mass spectrometry can be used to identify novel surface molecules in mast cells. Moreover, CD98hc plays an important role in mast cell function.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation governs key physiological and pathological processes in human cells. Aberrant glycosylation is thus closely associated with disease progression. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomics has emerged as an indispensable tool for investigating glycosylation changes in biological samples with high sensitivity. Following rapid improvements in methodologies for reliable intact glycopeptide identification, site-specific quantification of glycopeptide macro- and micro-heterogeneity at the proteome scale has become an urgent need for exploring glycosylation regulations. Here, we summarize recent advances in N- and O-linked glycoproteomic quantification strategies and discuss their limitations. We further describe a strategy to propagate MS data for multilayered glycopeptide quantification, enabling a more comprehensive examination of global and site-specific glycosylation changes. Altogether, we show how quantitative glycoproteomics methods explore glycosylation regulation in human diseases and promote the discovery of biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
In this study, a novel type of covalent organic framework (COF) material rich in boronic acid sites was prepared through post-synthesis modification (TbBD@PEI@Au@4-MPBA). The surface of COF material had abundant carboxylic acid groups, which could bind a large amount of polyethyleneimine (PEI) through electrostatic interaction. At the same time, the amino groups on the PEI can be grafted with Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) in situ, and then 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) was modified by the reaction of Au and sulfhydryl groups. The massive grafting of boronic acid groups made the material's enrichment effect on glycopeptides expected. The results of experiments indicated that the composite material has high sensitivity (5 amol μL-1) and selectivity (1:1000). In addition, the material has outstanding stability and reusability, with a load capacity of about 100 mg g-1 and a recovery of 99.3 ± 2.2%. What's more, after enriched by TbBD@PEI@Au@4-MPBA, 56 endogenous glycopeptides from fresh human saliva were detected by MALDI-TOF MS, 56 unique glycopeptides corresponding to 31 glycoproteins from human saliva and 513 unique glycopeptides corresponding to 208 glycoproteins from serum of throat cancer patient were detected by nano-LC-MS/MS, respectively, which was expected to be applied to glycoproteomics research.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most significant post-translational modifications occurring to proteins, since it affects some of their basic properties, such as their half-life or biological activity. The developments in analytical methodologies has greatly contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the glycosylation state of proteins. Despite those advances, the difficulty of a full characterization of glycosylation still remains, mainly due to the complexity of the glycoprotein and/or glycopeptide mixture especially when they are present in complex biological samples. For this reason, various techniques that allow a prior selective enrichment of exclusively glycosylated proteins or glycopeptides have been developed in the past and are coupled either on- or off- line with separation and detection methods. One of the most commonly implemented enrichment methods includes the use of lectin proteins immobilized on various solid supports. Lectins are a group of different, naturally occurring proteins that share a common characteristic, which concerns their affinity for specific sugar moieties of glycoproteins. This review presents the different formats and conditions for the use of lectins in affinity chromatography and in solid phase extraction, including their use in dispersive mode, along with the recent progress made on either commercial or home-made lectin-based affinity sorbents, which can lead to a fast and automated glycosylation analysis.

Abstract
Glycoproteins are related to many biological activities and diseases, and thereby their efficient capture and enrichment for diagnostics and proteomics have emerged to exhibit great significance. However, the lack of materials with high binding capacity and selectivity is still a big obstacle for further application. Herein, we reported a facile and eco-friendly approach to fabricate spherical polymer brushes with multiple boronic acid groups. Specifically, the whole process can be divided into three steps, the polystyrene (PS) core was obtained by traditional emulsion polymerization, followed by immobilization of a home-made photoinitiator. Subsequently, boronic acid-functionalized polymer chains (PBA) were chemically grafted via photo-emulsion polymerization, leading to spherical polymer brushes (PS-PBA) with boronate affinity. The particle size, morphology, and composition of as-prepared spherical polymer brushes were systematically characterized. The characteristics of glycoproteins binding to the spherical polymer brushes under different conditions, including pH values and ionic strength, were also investigated. PS-PBA brushes possess fast binding speed (30 min) and high binding capacity for glycoprotein ovalbumin (OVA) (377.0 mg g-1) under physiological pH conditions at 25 °C, because the low steric hindrance of flexible polymeric PBA chains facilitates the interaction between boronic acid groups and glycoproteins. Moreover, the binding capacity of PS-PBA brushes for glycoprotein OVA was ∼6.7 times higher than that for non-glycoprotein bovine serum albumin (BSA), indicating the excellent selective adsorption. This study provided a facile and efficient approach for the fabrication of boronic acid-functionalized materials that will be useful in the enrichment and separation of glycoproteins for the diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
A novel type of boric acid-functionalized magnetic covalent organic framework (mCOF) with polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a linker (denoted as mCOF@PEI@B(OH)2) has been prepared through a post-synthesis strategy, which points out an achievable path for the construction of boronic acid-functionalized COFs. Based on the boric acid chemistry, the obtained core-shell structured mCOF@PEI@B(OH)2 can selectively isolate glycopeptides through the modified boronic acid groups. The mCOF@PEI@B(OH)2 exhibits excellent performance with good reusability (ten cycles), low detection limit (0.5 fmol·μL-1), size-exclusion effect, and relatively high loading capacity (80 μg·mg-1), recovery yield (94.9 ± 2.8%), and selectivity (HRP digests:BSA digests = 1:500). Detection is done by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). In addition, 37 endogenous glycopeptides are captured from human saliva with mCOF@PEI@B(OH)2, providing effective proofs for its capability to capture low-abundance glycopeptides from actual biological samples.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) based analysis has received intense attention in diverse biological fields. However, direct MS interrogation of target biomolecules in complex biological samples is still challenging, due to the extremely low abundance and poor ionization potency of target biological species. Innovations in nanomaterials create new auxiliary tools for deep and comprehensive MS characterization of biomolecules. More recently, growing research interest has been directed to the compositional and structural engineering of nanomaterials for enriching target biomolecules prior to MS analysis, enhancing the ionization efficiency in MS detection and designing biosensing nanoprobes in sensitive MS readout. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent advances in the engineering of nanomaterials towards their applications in sample pre-treatment, desorption/ionization matrices and ion signal amplification for MS profiling of biomolecules. This review will provide a toolbox of nanomaterials for researchers devoted to developing analytical methods and practical applications in the biological MS field.

Abstract
N-Glycosylation of proteins, an important post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells, plays an essential role in the regulation of cell adhesion, migration, signal transduction, and apoptosis. Abnormal changes in protein glycosylation are closely related to the occurrence of many critical diseases, including diabetes, tumors, and neurological, kidney, and inflammatory diseases. A non-invasive type of liquid biopsy, urine sampling has the advantage of reducing the complexity of proteomic analysis. This facilitates the design of large-scale and continuous or multi-time point sampling strategies. However, the dynamic range of urinary protein abundance is relatively large, owing to individual differences and physiological conditions. Currently, there is a lack of specialized research on individual differences, physiological fluctuations, and physiological abundance ranges of urinary N-glycoproteins in large healthy populations. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately distinguish individual differences and normal physiological fluctuations from changes caused by disease; this poses a great challenge in disease marker research. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is an analytical technique widely used for the large-scale profiling of proteomes in biological systems, and the enrichment of N-glycopeptides is a prerequisite for their detection by MS.In this study, we established an approach based on hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) by optimizing the activation, cleaning, and elution processes of the enrichment method, for instance through the optimization of particle size and solvent composition, and investigated the identification number, selectivity, and stability of N-glycoprotein/N-glycopeptide enrichment under different experimental conditions. We found that N-glycoproteins and N-glycopeptides were highly enriched in a trifluoroacetic acid system with 5-μm filling particles in the HILIC column. On this basis, we analyzed the levels of N-glycoproteins/N-glycopeptides in urine samples. The consistency of N-glycoprotein/N-glycopeptide levels in urine samples taken from the same healthy person for five consecutive days was investigated by correlation analysis. This analysis revealed that the urinary N-glycoproteome of the same healthy person was relatively stable over a short period of time. Next, urinary samples from 20 healthy male volunteers and 20 healthy female volunteers were enriched for N-glycoproteins/N-glycopeptides, which were profiled by MS through qualitative and quantitative analyses. Screening and functional analysis of differential proteins were then carried out. A total of 1016 N-glycoproteins and 2192 N-glycopeptides were identified in the mid-morning urine samples of the 40 healthy volunteers. A label-free quantitation strategy was used to investigate the fluctuation range of the physiologically abundant urinary N-glycopeptides. The abundance of urinary N-glycopeptides spanned across approximately five orders of magnitude. Subsequently, gender differences in the N-glycosylation levels of urinary proteins were also explored in healthy people. Functional analysis of the N-glycoproteins that exhibited gender differences in abundance was performed. Based on multivariate statistical analysis, 206 differentially expressed proteins (p<0.05, fold change (FC)> 4) were identified. In females, we found 175 significantly down-regulated N-glycoproteins and 31 significantly up-regulated N-glycoproteins with respect to males. The expression levels of N-glycopeptides between the two groups suggested a clear gender difference. To investigate the biological processes and functions of these proteins, gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed on the N-glycoproteins/N-glycopeptides differentially expressed between males and females. Metabolic pathway analysis was also carried out based on the kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG). Differentially expressed N-glycoproteins were mostly associated with platelet degranulation, extracellular region, and ossification. The top three relevant pathways were glycan biosynthesis and metabolism, metabolism of cofactors and vitamins, and lipid metabolism. Overall, sex may be an important factor for urinary N-glycoproteome differences among normal individuals and should be considered in clinical applications. This study provides relevant information regarding the function and mechanisms of the urinary glycoproteome and the screening of clinical biomarkers.

Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early diagnosis of CRC is important for increasing the opportunity for treatment and receiving a good prognosis. The aim of our study was to develop a detection method that combined wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) chromatography with mass spectrometry (MS) for early detection of CRC. Further, machine learning algorithms and logistic regression were applied to combine multiple biomarkers we discovered. We validated in a population of 286 plasma samples the diagnostic performance of peptides corresponding to WGA-captured protein and its combination, which received a sensitivity of 84.5% and a specificity of 97.5% in the diagnoses of CRC. Proteomic biomarkers combined with algorithms can provide a powerful tool for discriminating patients with CRC and health controls (HCs). Measurements of WGA-captured PF4, ITIH4, and APOE with MS are then useful for early detection of CRC. Additionally, our study revealed the potential of applying lectin chromatography with MS for disease diagnosis. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved circulating tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and CA125 were used as prognostic biomarkers of CRC that attributed to low sensitivity in diagnosis of CRC. Therefore, our purpose is to develop a novel strategy for novel clinical biomarkers for early CRC diagnosis. We used mass spectrometry (MS) methods such as nanoLC-MS/MS, targeted LC-MS/MS, and stable isotope-labeled multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) MS coupled to test machine learning algorithms and logistic regression to analyze plasma samples from patients with early-stage CRC, late-stage CRC, and healthy controls (HCs). On the basis of our methods, 356 peptides were identified, 6 differential expressed peptides were verified, and finally three peptides corresponding wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-captured proteins were semi-quantitated in 286 plasma samples (80 HCs and 206 CRCs). The novel peptide biomarkers combination of PF454–62, ITIH4429–438, and APOE198–207 achieved sensitivity 84.5%, specificity 97.5% and an AUC of 0.96 in CRC diagnosis. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that WGA-captured plasma PF454–62, ITIH4429–438, and APOE198–207 levels in combination may serve as highly effective early diagnostic biomarkers for patients with CRC.

Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most crucial posttranslational modifications of proteins, containing a remarkable amount of biological information. The alteration of glycosylation is closely associated with certain diseases. Exploring glyco-code in the development of diseases is a hot topic in recent years. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the primary pathological histology in developing countries and a severe threat to human health. Although the glycan profiles in the blood samples of ESCC patients were analyzed using glycomic and glycoproteomic methods, the difference of salivary glycopatterns between healthy subjects and ESCC patients is not explicit yet. In the present study, ESCC patients (n = 16) and healthy volunteers (HVs, n = 25) were enrolled. The glycomic strategy combining lectin microarray and lectin blotting was employed to investigate and confirm the altered salivary glycopatterns. Datura stramonium (DSA) was selected to isolate the GlcNAc or Galβ1-4GlcNA-containing glycoproteins due to the distinct difference between ESCC patients and HVs. The N-glycans from DSA-enriched glycoproteins were released by PNGase F and further identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS to obtain the precise structural information of the altered glycans. As a result, the glycopatterns recognized by 13 lectins (e.g., ECA, RCA120, and DSA) showed significant alterations in ESCC patients' saliva. The ESCC patients showed higher levels of GalNAc and Gal, sialic acid, and GlcNAc expression profiles and lower levels of mannose and fucose expression profiles. The MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS results indicated that the proportion of the GlcNAc or Galβ1-4GlcNAc-containing N-glycans was increased in ESCC patients (79.04%) compared with HV (63.20%), which was consistent with the results of lectin microarrays. Our findings provide comprehensive information to understand the complex physiological changes in ESCC patients. And the altered salivary glycopatterns such as GlcNAc or Galβ1-4GlcNAc-containing N-glycans recognized by DSA might serve as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of ESCC patients.

Abstract
Growing implications of glycosylation in physiological occurrences and human disease have prompted intensive focus on revealing glycomic perturbations through absolute and relative quantification. Empowered by seminal methodologies and increasing capacity for detection, identification, and characterization, the past decade has provided a significant increase in the number of suitable strategies for glycan and glycopeptide quantification. Mass-spectrometry-based strategies for glycomic quantitation have grown to include metabolic incorporation of stable isotopes, deposition of mass difference and mass defect isotopic labels, and isobaric chemical labeling, providing researchers with ample tools for accurate and robust quantitation. Beyond this, workflows have been designed to harness instrument capability for label-free quantification, and numerous software packages have been developed to facilitate reliable spectrum scoring. In this review, we present and highlight the most recent advances in chemical labeling and associated techniques for glycan and glycopeptide quantification.

Abstract
Introduction: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a histopathologic subtype of esophageal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. This is primarily because patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage by the time symptoms appear. The genomics and mass spectrometry-based proteomics continue to provide important leads toward biomarker discovery for ESCC. However, such leads are yet to be translated into clinical utilities. Areas covered: We gathered information pertaining to proteomics and proteogenomics efforts in ESCC from the literature search until 2020. An overview of omics approaches to discover the candidate biomarkers for ESCC were highlighted. We present a summary of recent investigations of alterations in the level of gene and protein expression observed in biological samples including body fluids, tissue/biopsy and in vitro-based models. Expert opinion: A large number of protein-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets are being used in cancer therapy. Several candidates are being developed as diagnostics and prognostics for the management of cancers. High-resolution proteomic and proteogenomic approaches offer an efficient way to identify additional candidate biomarkers for diagnosis, monitoring of disease progression, prediction of response to chemo and radiotherapy. Some of these biomarkers can also be developed as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is involved in many biological processes and physiological functions. Despite the recent advances in LC-MS/MS methodologies, the profiling of site-specific glycosylation is one of the major analytical challenges of glycoprotein analysis. Herein, we report that the separation of glycopeptide isomers on porous graphitic carbon (PGC)-LC was significantly improved by elevating the separation temperature under basic mobile phases. These findings permitted the isomeric separation of glycopeptides resulting from highly specific enzymatic digestions. The selectivity for different glycan types was studied using bovine fetuin, asialofetuin, IgG, ribonuclease B, and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) by PGC-LC-MS. Comprehensive structural isomeric separation of glycopeptides was observed by high-resolution MS and confirmed by MS/MS. The specific structures of the glycopeptide isomers were identified and confirmed through exoglycosidase digestions. Glycosylation analysis of human AGP revealed the potential use of PGC-LC-MS for extensive glycoprotein analysis for biomarker discovery. This newly developed separation technique was shown as a reproducible and useful analytical method to study site-specific isomeric glycosylation.

Abstract
Esophageal (OC), gastric (GC) and colorectal (CRC) cancers are amongst the digestive track tumors with higher incidence and mortality due to significant molecular heterogeneity. This constitutes a major challenge for patients' management at different levels, including non-invasive detection of the disease, prognostication, therapy selection, patient's follow-up and the introduction of improved and safer therapeutics. Nevertheless, important milestones have been accomplished pursuing the goal of molecular-based precision oncology. Over the past five years, high-throughput technologies have been used to interrogate tumors of distinct clinicopathological natures, generating large-scale biological datasets (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics). As a result, GC and CRC molecular subtypes have been established to assist patient stratification in the clinical settings. However, such molecular panels still require refinement and are yet to provide targetable biomarkers. In parallel, outstanding advances have been made regarding targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy, paving the way for improved patient care; nevertheless, important milestones towards treatment personalization and reduced off-target effects are also to be accomplished. Exploiting the cancer glycoproteome for unique molecular fingerprints generated by dramatic alterations in protein glycosylation may provide the necessary molecular rationale towards this end. Therefore, this review presents functional and clinical evidences supporting a reinvestigation of classical serological glycan biomarkers such as sialyl-Tn (STn) and sialyl-Lewis A (SLeA) antigens from a tumor glycoproteomics perspective. We anticipate that these glycobiomarkers that have so far been employed in non-invasive cancer prognostication may hold unexplored value for patients' management in precision oncology settings.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis of glycoproteins and glycopeptides requires selective separation strategies to eliminate interferences from more abundant non-glycosylated biomolecules. In this work, we describe a two-phase liquid-liquid extraction method using supramolecular polymeric nanoassemblies that can selectively and efficiently enrich glycopeptides for enhanced MS detection. The polymeric nanoassemblies are made selective for glycopeptides via the incorporation of hydrazide functional groups that covalently bind to glycans. The enrichment efficiency is further enhanced via the incorporation of acidic functional groups that lead to a proximity-assisted catalysis of the hydrazide-glycan conjugation reaction. Our results further demonstrate the value of designer supramolecular nanomaterials for the selective enrichment of modified peptides from complicated mixtures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-linked glycoprotein is a highly interesting class of proteins for clinical and biological research. The large-scale characterization of N-linked glycoproteins accomplished by mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics has provided valuable insights into the interdependence of glycoprotein structure and protein function. However, these studies focused mainly on the analysis of specific sample type, and lack the integration of glycoproteomic data from different tissues, body fluids or cell types. METHODS In this study, we collected the human glycosite-containing peptides identified through their de-glycosylated forms by mass spectrometry from over 100 publications and unpublished datasets generated from our laboratory. A database resource termed N-GlycositeAtlas was created and further used for the distribution analyses of glycoproteins among different human cells, tissues and body fluids. Finally, a web interface of N-GlycositeAtlas was created to maximize the utility and value of the database. RESULTS The N-GlycositeAtlas database contains more than 30,000 glycosite-containing peptides (representing > 14,000 N-glycosylation sites) from more than 7200 N-glycoproteins from different biological sources including human-derived tissues, body fluids and cell lines from over 100 studies. CONCLUSIONS The entire human N-glycoproteome database as well as 22 sub-databases associated with individual tissues or body fluids can be downloaded from the N-GlycositeAtlas website at http://nglycositeatlas.biomarkercenter.org.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is ubiquitous in biological systems and plays essential roles in many cellular events. Global and site-specific analysis of glycoproteins in complex biological samples can advance our understanding of glycoprotein functions and cellular activities. However, it is extraordinarily challenging because of the low abundance of many glycoproteins and the heterogeneity of glycan structures. The emergence of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has provided us an excellent opportunity to comprehensively study proteins and their modifications, including glycosylation. In this review, we first summarize major methods for glycopeptide/glycoprotein enrichment, followed by the chemical and enzymatic methods to generate a mass tag for glycosylation site identification. We next discuss the systematic and quantitative analysis of glycoprotein dynamics. Reversible protein glycosylation is dynamic, and systematic study of glycoprotein dynamics helps us gain insight into glycoprotein functions. The last part of this review focuses on the applications of MS-based proteomics to study glycoproteins in different biological systems, including yeasts, plants, mice, human cells, and clinical samples. Intact glycopeptide analysis is also included in this section. Because of the importance of glycoproteins in complex biological systems, the field of glycoproteomics will continue to grow in the next decade. Innovative and effective MS-based methods will exponentially advance glycoscience, and enable us to identify glycoproteins as effective biomarkers for disease detection and drug targets for disease treatment. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
N-linked glycoprotein is a highly interesting class of proteins for clinical and biological research. Over the last decade, large-scale profiling of N-linked glycoproteins and glycosylation sites from biological and clinical samples has been achieved through mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomic approaches. In this paper, we reviewed the human glycoproteomic profiles that have been reported in more than 80 individual studies, and mainly focused on the N-glycoproteins and glycosylation sites identified through their deglycosylated forms of glycosite-containing peptides. According to our analyses, more than 30,000 glycosite-containing peptides and 7,000 human glycoproteins have been identified from five different body fluids, twelve human tissues (or related cell lines), and four special cell types. As the glycoproteomic data is still missing for many organs and tissues, a systematical glycoproteomic analysis of various human tissues and body fluids using a uniform platform is still needed for an integrated map of human N-glycoproteomes.

Abstract
Glycosylation is among the most important post-translational modifications for proteins and is of intrinsic complex character compared with DNAs and naked proteins. Indeed, over 50%-70% of proteins in circulation are glycosylated, and the "sweet attachments" have versatile structural and functional implications. Both the configuration and composition of the attached glycans affect the biological activities of consensus proteins significantly. Glycosylation is generated by complex biosynthetic pathways comprising hundreds of glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, transcriptional factors, transporters and the protein backbone. In addition, lack of direct genetic templates and glyco-specific antibodies such as those commonly used in DNA amplification and protein capture makes research on glycans and glycoproteins even more difficult, thus resulting in sparse knowledge on the pathophysiological implications of glycosylation. Fortunately, cutting-edge technologies have afforded new opportunities and approaches for investigating cancer-related glycosylation. Thus, glycans as well as aberrantly glycosylated protein-based cancer biomarkers have been increasingly recognized. This mini-review highlights the most recent developments in glyco-biomarker studies in an effort to discover clinically relevant cancer biomarkers using advanced analytical methodologies such as mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatographic/ultra-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and lectin-based technologies. Recent clinical-centered glycobiological studies focused on determining the regulatory mechanisms and the relation with diagnostics, prognostics and even therapeutics are also summarized. These studies indicate that glycomics is a treasure waiting to be mined where the growth of cancer-related glycomics and glycoproteomics is the next great challenge after genomics and proteomics.

Abstract
The cell surface is normally covered with sugars that are bound to lipids or proteins. Surface glycoproteins play critically important roles in many cellular events, including cell-cell communications, cell-matrix interactions, and response to environmental cues. Aberrant protein glycosylation on the cell surface is often a hallmark of human diseases such as cancer and infectious diseases. Global analysis of surface glycoproteins will result in a better understanding of glycoprotein functions and the molecular mechanisms of diseases and the discovery of surface glycoproteins as biomarkers and drug targets. Here, an enzyme is exploited to tag surface glycoproteins, generating a chemical handle for their selective enrichment prior to mass spectrometric (MS) analysis. The enzymatic reaction is very efficient, and the reaction conditions are mild, which are well-suited for surface glycoprotein tagging. For biologically triplicate experiments, on average 953 N-glycosylation sites on 393 surface glycoproteins per experiment were identified in MCF7 cells. Integrating chemical and enzymatic reactions with MS-based proteomics, the current method is highly effective to globally and site-specifically analyze glycoproteins only located on the cell surface. Considering the importance of surface glycoproteins, this method is expected to have extensive applications to advance glycoscience.

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
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is thought to develop from asymptomatic Barrett's esophagus (BE) with a low annual rate of conversion. Current endoscopy surveillance of BE patients is probably not cost-effective. Previously, we discovered serum glycoprotein biomarker candidates which could discriminate BE patients from EAC. Here, we aimed to validate candidate serum glycoprotein biomarkers in independent cohorts, and to develop a biomarker candidate panel for BE surveillance. Serum glycoprotein biomarker candidates were measured in 301 serum samples collected from Australia (4 states) and the United States (1 clinic) using previously established lectin magnetic bead array (LeMBA) coupled multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) tier 3 assay. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated as a measure of discrimination, and multivariate recursive partitioning was used to formulate a multi-marker panel for BE surveillance. Complement C9 (C9), gelsolin (GSN), serum paraoxonase/arylesterase 1 (PON1) and serum paraoxonase/lactonase 3 (PON3) were validated as diagnostic glycoprotein biomarkers in lectin pull-down samples for EAC across both cohorts. A panel of 10 serum glycoprotein biomarker candidates discriminated BE patients not requiring intervention (BE± low grade dysplasia) from those requiring intervention (BE with high grade dysplasia (BE-HGD) or EAC) with an AUROC value of 0.93. Tissue expression of C9 was found to be induced in BE, dysplastic BE and EAC. In longitudinal samples from subjects that have progressed toward EAC, levels of serum C9 were significantly (p < 0.05) increased with disease progression in EPHA (erythroagglutinin from Phaseolus vulgaris) and NPL (Narcissus pseudonarcissus lectin) pull-down samples. The results confirm alteration of complement pathway glycoproteins during BE-EAC pathogenesis. Further prospective clinical validation of the confirmed biomarker candidates in a large cohort is warranted, prior to development of a first-line BE surveillance blood test.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is a common protein post-translational modification (PTM) in living organisms and has been shown to associate with multiple diseases, and thus may potentially be a biomarker of such diseases. Efficient protein/glycoprotein extraction is a crucial step in the preparation of N-glycans derived from glycoproteins prior to LC-MS analysis. Convenient, efficient and unbiased sample preparation protocols are needed. Herein, we evaluated the use of sodium deoxycholate (SDC) acidic labile detergent to release N-glycans of glycoproteins derived from biological samples such as cancer cell lines. Compared to the filter-aided sample preparation approach, the sodium deoxycholate (SDC) assisted approach was determined to be more efficient and unbiased. SDC removal was determined to be more efficient when using acidic precipitation rather than ethyl acetate phase transfer. Efficient extraction of proteins/glycoproteins from biological samples was achieved by combining SDC lysis buffer and beads beating cell disruption. This was suggested by a significant overall increase in the intensities of N-glycans released from cancer cell lines. Additionally, the use of SDC approach was also shown to be more reproducible than those methods that do not use SDC.

Abstract
Most serum proteins are N-linked glycosylated, and therefore the glycoproteomic profiling of serum is essential for characterization of serum proteins. In this study, we profiled serum N-glycoproteome by our recently developed N-glycoproteomic method using solid-phase extraction of N-linked glycans and glycosite-containing peptides (NGAG) coupled with LC-MS/MS and site-specific glycosylation analysis using GPQuest software. Our data indicated that half of identified N-glycosites were modified by at least two glycans, with a majority of them being sialylated. Specifically, 3/4 of glycosites were modified by biantennary N-glycans and 1/3 of glycosites were modified by triantennary sialylated N-glycans. In addition, two novel atypical glycosites (with N-X-V motif) were identified and validated from albumin and α-1B-glycoprotein. The widespread presence of these two glycosites among individuals was further confirmed by individual serum analyses.

Abstract
As one of the most common post-translational modifications, protein N-glycosylation precipitates in many important biological processes and has closely correlations with the occurrence and progression of multiple diseases. Plasma exosomes secreted by cells contain various bioactive N-glycoproteins which may serve as potential biomarkers for early disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the protein N-glycosylation profile in human plasma exosome is largely unknown, due to the technical challenges in glycoprotein identification. Signals of the rare N-glycoproteins/N-glycopeptides are severely suppressed by the abundant coexisting non-glycosylated counterparts in mass spectrometry analysis. Therefore, specific enrichment of N-glycoprotein/glycopeptide is a prerequisite for large scale N-glycosylation profiling. In this work, we developed a hydrazide functionalized thermosensitive polymer for efficient enrichment and in-depth identification of protein N-glycosylation in human plasma exosome by mass spectrometry. The polymer chains completely dissolve in the enrichment system to form a homogeneous solution. Therefore, efficient covalent coupling between the N-glycoprotein/glycopeptide and the polymer chain is achieved, due to the reduced interfacial mass transfer resistance and the densely packed accessible functional groups on the polymer chains. Furthermore, the thermosensitive polymer can be easily precipitated and recovered by simply rising the system temperature to above 34 °C. As a result, 329 N-glycosylation sites corresponding to 180 N-glycoproteins were enriched and identified from plasma exosomes of glioma patients and healthy subjects using the thermosensitive polymer. By quantitative comparison, we found 26 N-glycoproteins significantly changed between the glioma patients and the healthy subjects, demonstrating the potential of this new strategy for N-glycoproteome research of plasma exosome and biomarker discovery.

Abstract
The low abundance of sialo-glycoprotein hampered the separation, enrichment, and analysis of sialo-glycoproteins, which are critical for studying their functions. Here, we designed cleavable amino-oxy functionalized magnetic materials and employed to fast and selective isolate sialo-glycoproteins. This includes the ligation of disulfide-linked amino-oxy-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles with periodate-treated glycoproteins or cells, followed by magnetic separation. A reductive reagent could release the sialo-glycoproteins with small molecular fragments on the terminal of glycan chains, and the sialo-glycoproteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. On-bead digestion of the peptides were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. The results indicated that this method could selectively separate the majority of cell-surface sialo-glycoproteins.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is of increasing interest due to its important roles in protein function and aberrant expression with disease. Characterizing protein glycosylation remains analytically challenging due to its low abundance, ion suppression issues, and microheterogeneity at glycosylation sites, especially in complex samples such as human plasma. In this study, the utility of three common N-linked glycopeptide enrichment techniques is compared using human plasma. By analysis on an LTQ-Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer, electrostatic repulsion hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography using strong anion exchange solid-phase extraction (SAX-ERLIC) provided the most extensive N-linked glycopeptide enrichment when compared with multilectin affinity chromatography (M-LAC) and Sepharose-HILIC enrichments. SAX-ERLIC enrichment yielded 191 unique glycoforms across 72 glycosylation sites from 48 glycoproteins, which is more than double that detected using other enrichment techniques. The greatest glycoform diversity was observed in SAX-ERLIC enrichment, with no apparent bias toward specific glycan types. SAX-ERLIC enrichments were additionally analyzed by an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer to maximize glycopeptide identifications for a more comprehensive assessment of protein glycosylation. In these experiments, 829 unique glycoforms were identified across 208 glycosylation sites from 95 plasma glycoproteins, a significant improvement from the initial method comparison and one of the most extensive site-specific glycosylation analysis in immunodepleted human plasma to date. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD005655.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications. Numerous biological functions are related to protein glycosylation. However, analytical challenges remain in the glycoprotein analysis. To overcome the challenges associated with glycoprotein analysis, many analytical techniques were developed in recent years. Enrichment methods were used to improve the sensitivity of detection, while HPLC and mass spectrometry methods were developed to facilitate the separation of glycopeptides/proteins and enhance detection, respectively. Fragmentation techniques applied in modern mass spectrometers allow the structural interpretation of glycopeptides/proteins, while automated software tools started replacing manual processing to improve the reliability and throughput of the analysis. In this chapter, the current methodologies of glycoprotein analysis were discussed. Multiple analytical techniques are compared, and advantages and disadvantages of each technique are highlighted.
