Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis is one of the frequently used separation techniques for the analysis of complex carbohydrates. Since sugars lack chromophore or fluorophore groups, their capillary electrophoresis analysis usually requires tagging by a charged fluorophore. To speed up the derivatization reaction, a large excess of the labeling reagent is typically used; therefore, a purification step is necessary prior to CE analysis using the industry standard low-pH gel-buffer system. In addition to representing an extra sample preparation step with the associated labor and cost, the purification process also holds the risk of losing some of the sample components. In this paper we introduce an online electrokinetic sample cleanup process with electroosmotic flow (EOF)-assisted separation in a bare fused silica capillary using alkaline pH background electrolyte and normal polarity separation voltage. 8-Aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS)-labeled maltooligosaccharides were analyzed first to understand the complex effect of the downstream EOF and the counter current electromigration of the sample components including the labeling dye. The use of 150 mM caproic acid-253 mM Tris (pH 8.1) running buffer facilitated the entrance of the sample components of interest into the separation capillary, while the excess labeling reagent was excluded and, therefore, did not interfere with the detection. The alkaline caproic acid-Tris running buffer was then applied to the N-glycome analysis of human serum samples, showing excellent separation performance, and more importantly, the extra sample purification step was not required.

Abstract
Many analytical challenges in biomedicine arise from the generally high heterogeneity and complexity of glycan- and glycoconjugate-containing samples, which are often only available in minute amounts. Therefore, highly sensitive workflows and detection methods are required. In this review mass spectrometric workflows and detection methods are evaluated for glycans and glycoproteins. Furthermore, glycomic methodologies and innovations that are tailored for enzymatic treatments, chemical derivatization, purification, separation, and detection at high sensitivity are highlighted. The discussion is focused on the analysis of mammalian N-linked and GalNAc-type O-linked glycans.

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

Development and application of a sensitive phosphonium-hydrazide oligosaccharide labelling reagent in capillary electrophoresis- electrospray ionization- mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2022; 1680:463409. [PMID: 35998551 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.463409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most ubiquitous post-translational modifications (PTM) of proteins. Although the ionization efficiency of native glycans is fairly low, with the assistance of chemical derivation strategies, mass spectrometry (MS) has been extensively used in glycomics because of its high sensitivity, accuracy, and speed. In this study, a novel glycan labelling reagent, (4-hydrazidebutyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide (P4HZD), with a permanent positive charge was developed. The comprehensive capabilities of P4HZD for MS analysis of oligosaccharides were evaluated in detail using maltodextrin as a standard. This labelling reagent can be used in common biological MS techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry. The MS signal intensity of maltodextrin species could be enhanced up to 96-fold in MALDI-MS by labelling with P4HZD, making P4HZD favorable for MALDI-MS-based high-throughput screening of oligosaccharides. Moreover, P4HZD-labelled oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) from 1 to 18 could be separated and analysed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) combined with positive ion mode ESI-MS. In comparison with a commercialized oligosaccharide tag, Girard's reagent P (GirP), P4HZD was more effective for enhancing the signal of oligosaccharides in the middle or higher mass range using both ESI and MALDI ion sources. Two biologics, immunoglobulin G 2 (IgG 2) and fusion protein (FP), were chosen as model complex biological samples to test the efficacy of detection and separation of oligosaccharides by MALDI-MS and CE-ESI-MS analysis with P4HZD labelling. The results indicated that P4HZD is a promising labelling reagent for the detection of oligosaccharides in complex biological samples. The tandem workflow combines the strengths of MALDI-MS and CE-ESI-MS to fulfil the analytical demands of high-throughput screening, while affording good separation.

Abstract
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) exhibit various biological activities for infants, such as serving as prebiotics, blocking pathogens, and aiding in brain development. HMOs are a complex mixture of hetero-oligosaccharides that are generally highly branched, containing multiple structural isomers and no intrinsic chromophores, presenting a challenge to both their resolution and quantitative detection. While liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become the primary strategy for analysis of various compounds, the very polar and chromophore-free properties of native glycans hinder their separation in LC and ionization in MS. Various labeling approaches have been developed to achieve separation of glycans with higher resolution and greater sensitivity of detection. Here, we compared five commonly used labeling techniques [by 2-aminobenzamide, 2-aminopyridine, 2-aminobenzoic acid (2-AA), 2,6-diaminopyridine, and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone] for analyzing HMOs specifically under hydrophilic-interaction chromatography-mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS) conditions. The 2-AA labeling showed the most consistent deprotonated molecular ions, the enhanced sensitivity with the least structural selectivity, and the sequencing-informative tandem MS fragmentation spectra for the widest range of HMOs; therefore, this labeling technique was selected for further optimization under the porous graphitized carbon chromatography-mass spectrometry (PGC-MS) conditions. The combination strategy of 2-AA labeling and PGC-MS techniques provided online decontamination (removal of excess 2-AA, salts, and lactose) and resolute detection of many HMOs, enabling us to characterize the profiles of complicated HMO mixtures comprehensively in a simple protocol.

Abstract
Glycans in tissues are structurally diverse and usually include a large number of isomers that cannot be easily distinguished by mass spectrometry (MS). To address this issue, we developed a combined method that can efficiently separate and identify glycan isomers. First, we separated 2-aminopyridine (PA)-derivatized N-glycans from chicken colon by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) and directly analyzed them by electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS and MS/MS to obtain an overview of the structural features of tissue glycans. Next, we deduced the structures of isomers based on their elution positions, full MS, and MS/MS data, before or after digestions with several exoglycosidases. In this method, the elution position differed greatly depending on the core structure and branching pattern, allowing multiantennary N-glycan structures to be easily distinguished. To further determine linkages of branch sequences, we modified PA-N-glycans with sialic acid linkage-specific alkylamidation and/or permethylation, and analyzed the products by LC–MS and multistage MS. We determined the relative abundances of core structures, branching patterns, and branch sequences of N-glycans from chicken colon, and confirmed presence of characteristic branch sequences such as Lex, sialyl Lex, sulfated LacNAc, LacNAc repeat, and LacdiNAc. The results demonstrated that our method is useful for comparing N-glycomes among various tissue samples.

Abstract
Background Extracellular polysaccharides (ECPs) produced by biofilm-producing marine bacterium have great applications in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food engineering, bioremediation, and bio-hydrometallurgy industries. The ECP-producing strain was identified as Acinetobacter indicus M6 species by 16S rDNA analysis. The polymer produced by the isolate was quantified and purified and chemically analyzed, and antioxidant activities have been studied. The face-centered central composite design (FCCCD) was used to design the model. Results The results have clearly shown that the ECP was found to be endowed with significant antioxidative activities. The ECP showed 59% of hydroxyl radical scavenging activity at a concentration of 500 μg/mL, superoxide radical scavenging activity (72.4%) at a concentration of 300 μg/mL, and DPPH˙ radical scavenging activity (72.2%) at a concentration of 500 μg/mL, respectively. Further, HPLC and GC-MS results showed that the isolated ECP was a heteropolymer composed of glucose as a major monomer, and mannose and glucosamine were minor monomers. Furthermore, the production of ECP by Acinetobacter indicus M6 was increased through optimization of nutritional variables, namely, glucose, yeast extract, and MgSO4 by “Response Surface Methodology”. Moreover the production of ECP reached to 2.21 g/L after the optimization of nutritional variables. The designed model is statistically significant and is indicated by the R2 value of 0.99. The optimized medium improved the production of ECP and is two folds higher in comparison with the basal medium. Conclusions Acinetobacter indicus M6 bacterium produces a novel and unique extracellular heteropolysaccharide with highly efficient antioxidant activity. GC-MS analyses elucidated the presence of quite uncommon (1→4)-linked glucose, (1→4)-linked mannose, and (→4)-GlcN-(1→) glycosidic linkages in the backbone. The optimized medium improved the production of ECP and is two folds higher in comparison with the basal medium. The newly optimized medium could be used as a promising alternative for the overproduction of ECP.

Abstract
The glycoprotein uromodulin (UMOD) is the most abundant protein in urine, and N-glycans are critical for many biological functions of UMOD. Comprehensive glycan profiling of UMOD provides valuable information to understand the exact mechanisms of glycan-regulated functions. To perform comprehensive glycosylation analysis of UMOD from urine samples with limited volumes, we developed a streamlined workflow that included UMOD isolation from 5 mL of urine from 6 healthy adult donors (3 males and 3 females) and a glycosylation analysis using a highly sensitive and reproducible nanoLC-MS/MS based glycomics approach. In total, 212 N-glycan compositions were identified from the purified UMOD, and 17% were high-mannose glycans, 2% were afucosylated/asialylated, 3% were neutral fucosylated, 28% were sialylated (with no fucose), 46% were fucosylated and sialylated, and 4% were sulfated. We found that isolation of UMOD resulted in a significant decrease in the relative quantity of high-mannose and sulfated glycans with a significant increase of neutral fucosylated glycans in the UMOD-depleted urine relative to the undepleted urine, but depletion had little impact on the sialylated glycans. To our knowledge, this is the first study to perform comprehensive N-glycan profiling of UMOD using nanoLC-MS/MS. This analytical workflow would be very beneficial for studies with limited sample size, such as pediatric studies, and can be applied to larger patient cohorts not only for UMOD interrogation but also for global glycan analysis.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin (Ig) glycosylation has been shown to dramatically affect its structure and effector functions. Ig glycosylation changes have been associated with different diseases and show a promising biomarker potential for diagnosis and prognosis of disease advancement. On the other hand, therapeutic biomolecules based on structural and functional features of Igs demand stringent quality control during the production process to ensure their safety and efficacy. Liquid chromatography (LC) and lectin-based methods are routinely used in Ig glycosylation analysis complementary to other analytical methods, e.g., mass spectrometry and capillary electrophoresis. This chapter covers analytical approaches based on LC and lectins used in low- and high-throughput N- and O-glycosylation analysis of Igs, with the focus on immunoglobulin G (IgG) applications. General principles and practical examples of the most often used LC methods for Ig purification are described, together with typical workflows for N- and O-glycan analysis on the level of free glycans, glycopeptides, subunits, or intact Igs. Lectin chromatography is a historical approach for the analysis of lectin-carbohydrate interactions and glycoprotein purification but is still being used as a valuable tool in Igs purification and glycan analysis. On the other hand, lectin microarrays have found their application in the rapid screening of glycan profiles on intact proteins.

Abstract
Glycoanalytical technology is required for a wide variety of scientific research, including basic glycobiological pharmaceutical, and biomarker research. Although several innovative analytical techniques have been developed for these purposes, quantitative glycan analysis based on electrophoretic separation, has often been impeded by the lack of cost-effective and facile sample preparation approaches. Here, we developed a rapid and facile sample preparation workflow for cost-effective glycan analysis and demonstrated its use with fully automated microchip electrophoresis (ME). Purification of 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (APTS)-labeled glycans was based on the combination of ion-pair assisted extraction (IPAE) with hydrophilic interaction chromatography-solid phase extraction (HILIC-SPE). Compared to commonly used sample preparation methods, the IPAE/HILIC-SPE method undergoes minimal nonspecific loss and undesirable degradation of N-glycans during the purification step. Furthermore, our method required only 10 min, and the entire workflow, including glycan release, labeling, and concentration processes was completed within 4 h. Although the present system should be improved to enable analysis of more complex mixtures, ME-based separation of APTS-labeled N-glycans offers a fully automated operation including conditioning, sample loading, separation, and can be analyzed with a sample-to-sample throughput of 120 s in parallel processes. The present workflow is easy to implement, does not require expensive reagents and instruments and may be useful for glycoscientists across disciplines.

Abstract
Glycosylation affects the properties of biologics; thus regulatory bodies classified it as critical quality attribute and force biopharma industry to capture and control it throughout all phases, from R&D till end of product lifetime. The shift from originators to biosimilars further increases importance and extent of glycoanalysis, which thus increases the need for technology platforms enabling reliable high-throughput and in-depth glycan analysis. In this chapter, we will first summarize on established glycoanalytical methods based on liquid chromatography focusing on hydrophilic interaction chromatography, capillary electrophoresis focusing on multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry focusing on matrix-assisted laser desorption; we will then highlight two emerging technologies based on porous graphitized carbon liquid chromatography and on ion-mobility mass spectrometry as both are highly promising tools to deliver an additional level of information for in-depth glycan analysis; additionally we elaborate on the advantages and challenges of different glycoanalytical technologies and their complementarity; finally, we briefly review applications thereof to biopharmaceutical products. This chapter provides an overview of current state-of-the-art analytical approaches for glycan characterization of biopharmaceuticals that can be employed to capture glycoprotein heterogeneity in a biopharmaceutical context.

[PMID: 32329121 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/22/2019] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
N-glycans from glycoproteins are complex, branched structures whose structural determination presents many analytical problems. Mass spectrometry, usually conducted in positive ion mode, often requires extensive sample manipulation, usually by derivatization such as permethylation, to provide the necessary structure-revealing fragment ions. The newer but, so far, lesser used negative ion techniques, on the contrary, provide a wealth of structural information not present in positive ion spectra that greatly simplify the analysis of these compounds and can usually be conducted without the need for derivatization. This review describes the use of negative ion mass spectrometry for the structural analysis of N-linked glycans and emphasises the many advantages that can be gained by this mode of operation. Biosynthesis and structures of the compounds are described followed by methods for release of the glycans from the protein. Methods for ionization are discussed with emphasis on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and methods for producing negative ions from neutral compounds. Acidic glycans naturally give deprotonated species under most ionization conditions. Fragmentation of negative ions is discussed next with particular reference to those ions that are diagnostic for specific features such as the branching topology of the glycans and substitution positions of moieties such as fucose and sulfate, features that are often difficult to identify easily by conventional techniques such as positive ion fragmentation and exoglycosidase digestions. The advantages of negative over positive ions for this structural work are emphasised with an example of a series of glycans where all other methods failed to produce a structure. Fragmentation of derivatized glycans is discussed next, both with respect to derivatives at the reducing terminus of the molecules, and to methods for neutralization of the acidic groups on sialic acids to both stabilize them for MALDI analysis and to produce the diagnostic fragments seen with the neutral glycans. The use of ion mobility, combined with conventional mass spectrometry is described with emphasis on its use to extract clean glycan spectra both before and after fragmentation, to separate isomers and its use to extract additional information from separated fragment ions. A section on applications follows with examples of the identification of novel structures from lower organisms and tables listing the use of negative ions for structural identification of specific glycoproteins, glycans from viruses and uses in the biopharmaceutical industry and in medicine. The review concludes with a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of the technique. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Mass Spec Rev.

Abstract
2-Aminobenzoic acid (2-AA) is widely used as a labeling reagent to derivatize released N-glycans at their free reducing terminus by reductive amination. 2-AA-labeled glycans have increased mass spectrometric sensitivity for their identification and enable fluorescence-chromatography-based glycan quantification. Drawbacks are that the labeling process is labor intensive and time consuming. Clean up of labeled glycans via removal of excess of labeling reagents often leads to sample losses. Here, we report use of 2-AA for labeling N-glycans on a MALDI target through nonreductive amination, while simultaneously functioning as a matrix in MALDI-MS glycan analysis. Coupling 2-AA to glycans results in significant increases of glycan anionic signals as compared to that using the traditional 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHB) matrix. The on-MALDI-target sample preparation is a single-step protocol with high derivatization efficiency. It is also noticed that 2-AA-labeled glycan generated dominant deprotonated molecular anions with much fewer and low-intensity sodium adducts and therefore greatly simplified glycan profiles. We further explored its application in the N-glycan profile of a biotherapeutic monoclonal antibody and was able to achieve sensitive glycan identification at a low microgram level of glycoprotein. This 2-AA on-MALDI-target glycan derivatization eliminates tedious sample preparation and avoids sample loss. It is generally applicable for other applications (e.g., glycomics), where limited amounts of glycoproteins are available for analysis.

Abstract
We performed an in-depth characterization and comparison of the pediatric and adult urinary glycomes using a nanoLC-MS/MS based glycomics method, which included normal healthy pediatric (1-10 years, n = 21) and adult (21-50 years, n = 22) individuals. A total of 116 N-glycan compositions were identified, and 46 of them could be reproducibly quantified. We performed quantitative comparisons of the 46 glycan compositions between different age and sex groups. The results showed significant quantitative changes between the pediatric and adult cohorts. The pediatric urinary N-glycome was found to contain a higher level of high-mannose (HM), asialylated/afucosylated glycans (excluding HM), neutral fucosylated and agalactosylated glycans, and a lower level of trisialylated glycans compared with the adult. We further analyzed gender-associated glycan changes in the pediatric and adult group, respectively. In the pediatric group, there was almost no difference of glycan levels between males and females. In adult, the majority of glycans were more abundant in males than females, except the high-mannose and tetrasialylated glycans. These findings highlight the importance to consider age-matching and adult sex-matching for urinary glycan studies. The identified normal pediatric and adult urinary glycomes can serve as a baseline reference for comparisons to other disease states affected by glycosylation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protein glycosylation influences characteristics such as folding, stability, protein interactions, and solubility. Therefore, glycan moieties of therapeutic proteins and proteins that are likely associated with disease pathogenesis should be analyzed in-depth, including glycan heterogeneity and modification sites. Recent advances in analytical methods and instrumentation have enabled comprehensive characterization of highly complex glycosylated proteins. AREA COVERED The following aspects should be considered when analyzing glycosylated proteins: sample preparation, chromatographic separation, mass spectrometry (MS) and fragmentation methods, and bioinformatics, such as software solutions for data analyses. Notably, analysis of glycoproteins with heavily sialylated glycans or multiple glycosylation sites requires special considerations. Here, we discuss recent methodological advances in MS that provide detailed characterization of heterogeneous glycoproteins. EXPERT OPINION As characterization of complex glycosylated proteins is still analytically challenging, the function or pathophysiological significance of these proteins is not fully understood. To reproducibly produce desired forms of therapeutic glycoproteins or to fully elucidate disease-specific patterns of protein glycosylation, a highly reproducible and robust analytical platform(s) should be established. In addition to advances in MS instrumentation, optimization of analytical and bioinformatics methods and utilization of glycoprotein/glycopeptide standards is desirable. Ultimately, we envision that an automated high-throughput MS analysis will provide additional power to clinical studies and precision medicine.

A practical method for preparing fluorescent-labeled glycans with a 9-fluorenylmethyl derivative to simplify a fluorimetric HPLC-based analysis. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2020; 186:113267.

Abstract
Analysis of glycans in glycoproteins is often performed by liquid chromatography (LC) separation coupled with fluorescence detection and/or mass spectrometric detection. Enzymatically or chemically released glycans from glycoproteins are usually labeled by reductive amination with a fluorophore reagent. Although labeling techniques based on reductive amination have been well-established as sample preparation methods for fluorometric HPLC-based glycan analysis, they often include time-consuming and tedious purification steps. Here, we reported an alternative fluorescent labeling method based on the synthesis of hydrazone and its reduction using 9-fluorenylmethyl carbazate (Fmoc-hydrazine) as a fluorophore reagent. Using isomaltopentaose and N-glycans from human IgG, we optimized the Fmoc-labeling conditions and purification procedure of Fmoc-labeled N-glycans and applied the optimized method for the analysis of N-glycans released from four glycoproteins (bovine RNase B, human fibrinogen, human α1-acid glycoprotein, and bovine fetuin). The complete workflow for preparation of fluorescent-labeled N-glycans takes a total of 3.5 h and is simple to implement. The method presented here lowers the overall cost of a fluorescently labeled N-glycan and will be practically useful for the screening of disease-related glycans or routine analysis at an early stage of development of biopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The maintenance of homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium depends on the complex process of epithelial cells differentiation, which repeatedly continues throughout the entire life. Many studies suggest, that cellular differentiation is regulated by glycosylation, or at least that changes of the latter are the hallmark of the process. The detailed description and understanding of this relationship are important in the context of gastrointestinal tract disease, including cancer. Here we employ a broadly used in vitro model of intestinal cell differentiation to track the glycosylation changes in details. We analyzed the glycoproteome- and glycosecretome-derived N-glycomes of undifferentiated Caco-2 adenocarcinoma cells and Caco-2-derived enterocyte-like cells. We used HILIC-HPLC and MALDI-ToF-MS approach together with exoglycosidases digestions to describe qualitative and quantitative N-glycosylation changes upon differentiation. Derived glycan traits analysis revealed, that differentiation results in substantial upregulation of sialylation of glycoproteome and increment of fucosylation within glycosecretome. This was also clearly visible when we analyzed the abundances of individual glycan species. Moreover, we observed the characteristic shift within oligomannose N-glycans, suggesting the augmentation of mannose trimming, resulting in downregulation of H8N2 and upregulation of H5N2 glycan. This was supported by elevated expression of Golgi alpha-mannosidases (especially MAN1C1). We hypothesize, that intensified mannose trimming at the initial steps of N-glycosylation pathway during differentiation, together with the remodeling of the expression of key glycosyltransferases leads to increased diversity of N-glycans and enhanced fucosylation and sialylation of complex structures. Finally, we propose H4N5F1 glycan as a potential biomarker of intestinal epithelial cell differentiation.

Abstract
The cell membrane plays an important role in protecting the cell from its extracellular environment. As such, extensive work has been devoted to studying its structure and function. Crucial intercellular processes, such as signal transduction and immune protection, are mediated by cell surface glycosylation, which is comprised of large biomolecules, including glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids. Because perturbations in glycosylation could result in dysfunction of cells and are related to diseases, the analysis of surface glycosylation is critical for understanding pathogenic mechanisms and can further lead to biomarker discovery. Different mass spectrometry-based techniques have been developed for glycan analysis, ranging from highly specific, targeted approaches to more comprehensive profiling studies. In this review, we summarized the work conducted for extensive analysis of cell membrane glycosylation, particularly those employing liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in combination with various sample preparation techniques.

Abstract
Analysis of carbohydrate structures is an integral part of understanding the structure-function relationship of glycans as well as whole glycoproteins. Glycan profiling by HPLC with fluorescence detection is a powerful technique that sheds considerable light into understanding glycan structures. Profiling of N-linked glycans by HPLC and mass spectrometry is well established. However procedures for profiling Ser/Thr-linked sugar chains are still a challenge since there is no enzyme capable of releasing the intact glycans. Simplistic profiling of O-linked sugar chains is possible only by the virtue of anthranilic acid (AA, 2-aminobenzoic acid, 2-AA) labeling chemistry (Anumula, Anal Biochem 457:31-37, 2014), which eliminates the need for intermediary isolation steps, e.g., desalting and chromatographic purification, for labeling. O-linked sugar chains were released by hydrazinolysis at 60 °C for 6 h. Hydrazine was evaporated, and sugar chains were N-acetylated and derivatized with 2-AA in the same reaction mixture and separated on an Amide-80 column. Such simple hydrazinolysis protocols should benefit not only the biotechnology industry but also academic laboratories for characterization of glycoproteins. Detailed structure analysis is possible with AA-labeled glycans using mass spectrometry and NMR.

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

Abstract
Typical crystallizable fragment (Fc) glycans attached to the CH2 domain in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are core-fucosylated and asialo-biantennary complex-type glycans, e.g., G2F (full galactosylation), G1aF (terminal galactosylation on the Man α1-6 arm), G1bF (terminal galactosylation on the Man α1-3 arm), and G0F (non-galactosylation). Terminal galactose (Gal) residues of Fc-glycans are known to influence effector functions such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), but the impact of the G1F isomers (G1aF and G1bF) on the effector functions has not been reported. Here, we prepared four types of glycoengineered anti-CD20 mAbs bearing homogeneous G2F, G1aF, G1bF, or G0F (G2F mAb, G1aF mAb, G1bF mAb, or G0F mAb, respectively), and evaluated their biological activities. Interestingly, G1aF mAb showed higher C1q- and FcγR-binding activities, CDC activity, and FcγR-activation property than G1bF mAb. The activities of G1aF mAb and G1bF mAb were at the same level as G2F mAb and G0F mAb, respectively. Hydrogen–deuterium exchange/mass spectrometry analysis of dynamic structures of mAbs revealed the greater involvement of the terminal Gal residue on the Man α1-6 arm in the structural stability of the CH2 domain. Considering that mAbs interact with FcγR and C1q via their hinge proximal region in the CH2 domain, the structural stabilization of the CH2 domain by the terminal Gal residue on the Man α1-6 arm of Fc-glycans may be important for the effector functions of mAbs. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing the impact of G1F isomers on the effector functions and dynamic structure of mAbs.

Abstract
Mucin-type O-glycosylation (O-glycans, O-glycome) characterized by GalNAc linked to Serine/Threonine or even tyrosine residues in proteins is one of the major types of glycosylations. In animals, O-glycans on glycoproteins participate in many critical biological processes such as cell adhesion, development, and immunity. Importantly, the O-glycome is different in a tissue/cell-specific manner, and often altered in cells at their pathological states; and this alteration, in turn, affects cellular properties and functions. Clearly, the Functional O-glycomics, which concerns biological roles of O-glycans, requires a comprehensive understanding of O-glycome. Structural and/or quantitative analysis of O-glycans, however, is an unmet demand because no enzyme can universally release O-glycans from glycoproteins. Furthermore, the preparation of complex O-glycans for biological studies is even more challenging. To meet these demands, we have developed a novel technology termed Cellular O-glycome Reporter/Amplification (CORA) for profiling cellular O-glycan structures and amplifying/preparing complex O-glycans from cultured cells. In this chapter, we describe the recent advances of CORA: quantitative-CORA (qCORA) and preparative-CORA (pCORA). qCORA takes the strategy of “metabolic stable isotopic labeling O-glycome of culture cells (SILOC),” and pCORA adapts cells to “O-glycan factories” when supplied with R-α-GalNAc(Ac)3 derivatives. qCORA and pCORA technologies can facilitate the cellular O-glycomics and functional O-glycomics studies.

Abstract
Background BAY 81-8973 (Kovaltry) is an unmodified full-length recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) for treatment of hemophilia A. The BAY 81-8973 manufacturing process results in a product of enhanced purity with a consistently high degree of branching and sialylation of N-linked glycans. This study evaluated whether a relationship exists between N-linked glycosylation patterns of BAY 81-8973 and two other rFVIII (sucrose-formulated rFVIII [rFVIII-FS; Kogenate FS]) and antihemophilic factor (recombinant) plasma/albumin-free method (rAHF-PFM; Advate) and their pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics. Materials and methods N-linked glycans or terminal carbohydrates were enzymatically removed from immobilized BAY 81-8973, rFVIII-FS, and rAHF-PFM proteins and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the percentage of individual N-linked glycan structures and degree of sialylation of each structure. PK data were available from two separate phase 1 crossover studies in which the PK profile of BAY 81-8973 was compared with that of rFVIII-FS (n=26) and rAHF-PFM (n=18) in patients with severe hemophilia A who received a single 50 IU/kg dose of each product. Results BAY 81-8973 and rFVIII-FS had increased N-linked glycan branching with higher levels of sialylation compared with rAHF-PFM. Levels of trisialylated glycans were 29.0% for BAY 81-8973 vs 11.5% for rFVIII-FS and 4.8%-5.5% for rAHF-PFM; tetrasialylated glycans were 12.0% vs 2.8% and 0.6%, respectively. Degree of sialylation was 96% for BAY 81-8973, 94% for rFVIII-FS, and 78%-81% for rAHF-PFM. Based on chromogenic assay results from the single-dose phase 1 PK studies, BAY 81-8973 half-life was 15% longer than that for rFVIII-FS and 16% longer than rAHF-PFM. Conclusion Increased N-glycan branching and sialylation were seen for BAY 81-8973 vs rFVIII-FS and rAHF-PFM. Improved PK for BAY 81-8973 relative to rFVIII-FS and rAHF-PFM as seen in single-dose crossover PK studies might be related to this greater level of branching and sialylation, which can prolong the time BAY 81-8973 remains in the circulation.

Abstract
This work demonstrates a mass spectrometry technique to improve data reliability when analyzing degree of polymerization (DP) of high-mass polysialic acids (PSAs). Matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry is the technique of choice for analyzing large molecules due to its wide mass working range; however, the observed DP of PSAs using such an instrument is unreliable owing to sensitivity bias towards low-mass ions. A multi-layer MALDI sample preparation protocol is demonstrated in the current study to improve PSA sensitivity, and a dynamic instrument optimization method (DIOM) is employed to minimize detector saturation over a wide mass range. The DP information obtained in the DIOM combines a series of mass spectral data obtained with individually optimized instrument parameters to minimize the problem of sensitivity bias in respective mass ranges. The resultant mass spectra facilitate unambiguous determination of DP in the high-mass range due to significantly improved spectral quality. The main instrument parameters involved in the optimization process include extraction delay in MALDI ion source as well as the cutoff mass of the ion detector. In comparison to conventional methods, the DIOM doubles the maximum DP that can be unambiguously identified by mass spectrometry.

Abstract
N-Glycosylation is the most complex post-translational modification of proteins and involved in many physiological processes and is therefore of major interest in academic research and in the biopharmaceutical industry. Reliable, robust, reproducible, and selective analysis of N-glycans is essential to understand the multitude of biological roles of N-glycosylation. So far, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography analysis of 2-AB or 2-AA derivatized N-glycans has been the standard method. In this work, the superiority of reversed-phase chromatography for complex N-glycosylation analysis is demonstrated. Separation of N-glycans derivatized with anthranilic acid on polar-embedded stationary alkyl phases with sub-2-μm particles results in outstanding selectivity and resolution. In combination with the highly mass spectrometry–compatible mobile phase, even very complex glycan mixtures can be separated, identified, and quantified precisely and accurately. The presented methodology can be applied broadly from basic research to analytical control and release testing of biological drug products and can be implemented in analytical laboratories with minimal effort. ᅟ ![]()

Abstract
BACKGROUND For regulatory approval, the comparability of a biosimilar product to an originator product should be ensured through thorough physicochemical and biological characterization. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the biosimilarity between LBDE, the proposed biosimilar darbepoetin alfa, and NESP®, its originator, we performed a comprehensive physicochemical and biological characterization study. METHODS Primary and higher-order protein structures were analyzed using Lys-C peptide mapping with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), disulfide bond identification, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Glycosylation and isoform distribution were analyzed using MS, LC, and capillary zone electrophoresis. Size variants were evaluated with size-exclusion chromatography-high-performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Biological characterization included binding affinity for human erythropoietin receptor, in vitro cell proliferation, and in vivo potency. Pharmacokinetics (PK) were evaluated using rats through two injection routes. RESULTS Non-reducing and reducing Lys-C peptide mapping showed a highly similar peak profile, confirming that LBDE and NESP® have the same primary structure and disulfide bonds. Glycosylation and isoform analyses showed that the attached N-glycan and O-glycan structures were the same and their relative contents were similar. Spectroscopic analysis of LBDE showed indistinguishable spectra with NESP®. For both LBDE and NESP®, a very small amount of size variants was found in SEC-HPLC, and no minor bands were detected in SDS-PAGE. Furthermore, LBDE did not show any difference with NESP® in the in vitro and in vivo functional analyses. PK parameters of LBDE were in good agreement with those of NESP®. CONCLUSION LBDE shows high similarity to NESP® with regard to structure and function.

Abstract
The identification of trace components from an individual cell can require derivatization under mild conditions for successful analysis by mass spectrometry (MS).
The identification of trace components from biological media can require derivatization under mild conditions for successful analysis by mass spectrometry (MS). When aqueous droplets (ca. 500 nL) containing a sugar and an amine as reagents are allowed to evaporate they may form long-lasting microthin films in which derivatization reactions can occur fast relative to reaction rates in bulk solution. Evidence is presented that these reactions are heterogeneous in nature and comparisons are made with reactions in pastes and in neat reagent mixtures. Moreover, these thin film reactors can be made stable for the long periods of time that may be necessary to give high product yields. The situation is typified by imine formation from reducing sugars which have reaction times of much more than 1 hour provided that small concentrations (e.g. 20 ppm) of nonvolatile solvents are included. After evaporation of almost all the water, the reaction occurs at an approximately constant rate for the first hour. The rate is two orders of magnitude faster than the reaction in the corresponding homogeneous saturated bulk solution. Conversion of the reagent to the Schiff base product is 67% to 96% efficient in these long-lasting thin films, in sharp contrast to the corresponding derivatization efficiencies in the bulk of less than 1%. This method was used to chemically derivatize and thus to identify, using tandem mass spectrometry, 29 reducing sugars in ca. 1 nL of intracellular fluid from a single onion epidermis cell. A formal description of the kinetics of reversible and irreversible second order reactions in thin films is provided. The effects of thermodynamic and kinetic factors are separated and the measured apparent acceleration factor is shown to represent the ratio of intrinsic rate constants for the microthin film reactor relative to the bulk reaction.

Abstract
With recent advancements of analytical techniques and mass spectrometric instrumentations, proteomics has been widely exploited to study the regulation of protein expression associated with disease states. Many proteins may undergo abnormal change in response to the stimulants, leading to regulation of posttranslationally modified proteins. In this review, the physiological and pathological roles of protein glycosylation in cardiac hypertrophy is discussed, and how the signal pathways regulate heart function and leading to heart failure. The analytical methods for analysis of protein glycosylation, including glycans, glycosite, occupancy, and heterogeneity is emphasized. The rationale on glycoproteins as disease biomarkers is also discussed. The authors also propose potential research in this field and challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Abstract
N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III) is known to catalyze N-glycan "bisection" and thereby modulate the formation of highly branched complex structures within the Golgi apparatus. While active, it inhibits the action of other GlcNAc transferases such as GnT-IV and GnT-V. Moreover, GnT-III is considered as an inhibitor of the metastatic potential of cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. However, the effects of GnT-III may be more diverse and depend on the cellular context. We describe the detailed glycomic analysis of the effect of GnT-III overexpression in WM266-4-GnT-III metastatic melanoma cells. We used MALDI-TOF and ESI-ion-trap-MS/MS together with HILIC-HPLC of 2-AA labeled N-glycans to study the N-glycome of membrane-attached and secreted proteins. We found that the overexpression of GnT-III in melanoma leads to the modification of a broad range of N-glycan types by the introduction of the "bisecting" GlcNAc residue with highly branched complex structures among them. The presence of these unusual complex N-glycans resulted in stronger interactions of cellular glycoproteins with the PHA-L. Based on the data presented here we conclude that elevated activity of GnT-III in cancer cells does not necessarily lead to a total abrogation of the formation of highly branched glycans. In addition, the modification of pre-existing N-glycans by the introduction of "bisecting" GlcNAc can modulate their capacity to interact with carbohydrate-binding proteins such as plant lectins. Our results suggest further studies on the biological function of "bisected" oligosaccharides in cancer cell biology and their interactions with carbohydrate-binding proteins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glycosylation is recognized as a Critical Quality Attribute for therapeutic glycoproteins such as monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins and therapeutic replacement enzymes. Hence, efficient and quantitative glycan analysis techniques have been increasingly important for their discovery, development and quality control. The aim of this review is to highlight relevant and recent advances in analytical technologies for characterization of biotherapeutic glycoproteins. Areas covered: The review gives an overview of the glycosylation trends of biotherapeutics approved in 2016 and 2017 by FDA. It describes current and novel analytical technologies for characterization of therapeutic glycoproteins and is explored in the context of released glycan, glycopeptide or intact glycoprotein analysis. Ultra performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and capillary electrophoresis technologies are explored in this context. Expert commentary: There is a need for the biopharmaceutical industry to incorporate novel state of the art analytical technologies into existing and new therapeutic glycoprotein workflows for safer and more efficient biotherapeutics and for the improvement of future biotherapeutic design. Additionally, at present, there is no 'gold-standard' approach to address all the regulatory requirements and as such this will involve the use of orthogonal glycoanalytical technologies with a view to gain diagnostic information about the therapeutic glycoprotein.

Abstract
The oxidation of cereal (1→3,1→4)-β-D-glucan can influence the health promoting and technological properties of this linear, soluble homopolysaccharide by introduction of new functional groups or chain scission. Apart from deliberate oxidative modifications, oxidation of β-glucan can already occur during processing and storage, which is mediated by hydroxyl radicals (HO•) formed by the Fenton reaction. We present four complementary sample preparation strategies to investigate oat and barley β-glucan oxidation products by hydrophilic interaction ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), employing selective enzymatic digestion, graphitized carbon solid phase extraction (SPE), and functional group labeling techniques. The combination of these methods allows for detection of both lytic (C1, C3/4, C5) and non-lytic (C2, C4/3, C6) oxidation products resulting from HO•-attack at different glucose-carbons. By treating oxidized β-glucan with lichenase and β-glucosidase, only oxidized parts of the polymer remained in oligomeric form, which could be separated by SPE from the vast majority of non-oxidized glucose units. This allowed for the detection of oligomers with mid-chain glucuronic acids (C6) and carbonyls, as well as carbonyls at the non-reducing end from lytic C3/C4 oxidation. Neutral reducing ends were detected by reductive amination with anthranilic acid/amide as labeled glucose and cross-ring cleaved units (arabinose, erythrose) after enzyme treatment and SPE. New acidic chain termini were observed by carbodiimide-mediated amidation of carboxylic acids as anilides of gluconic, arabinonic, and erythronic acids. Hence, a full characterization of all types of oxidation products was possible by combining complementary sample preparation strategies. Differences in fine structure depending on source (oat vs. barley) translates to the ratio of observed oxidized oligomers, with in-depth analysis corroborating a random HO•-attack on glucose units irrespective of glycosidic linkage and neighborhood. The method was demonstrated to be (1) sufficiently sensitive to allow for the analysis of oxidation products also from a mild ascorbate-driven Fenton reaction, and (2) to be specific for cereal β-glucan even in the presence of other co-oxidized polysaccharides. This opens doors to applications in food processing to assess potential oxidations and provides the detailed structural basis to understand the effect oxidized functional groups have on β-glucan's health promoting and technological properties.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Much of the efforts to develop a vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have focused on the design of recombinant mimics of the viral attachment glycoprotein (Env). The leading immunogens exhibit native-like antigenic properties and are being investigated for their ability to induce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). Understanding the relative abundance of glycans at particular glycosylation sites on these immunogens is important as most bNAbs have evolved to recognize or evade the dense coat of glycans that masks much of the protein surface. Understanding the glycan structures on candidate immunogens enables triaging between native-like conformations and immunogens lacking key structural features as steric constraints limit glycan processing. The sensitivity of the processing state of a particular glycan to its structural environment has led to the need for quantitative glycan profiling and site-specific analysis to probe the structural integrity of immunogens. Areas covered: We review analytical methodologies for HIV immunogen evaluation and discuss how these studies have led to a greater understanding of the structural constraints that control the glycosylation state of the HIV attachment and fusion spike. Expert commentary: Total composition and site-specific glycosylation profiling are emerging as standard methods in the evaluation of Env-based immunogen candidates.

Abstract
Mucin-type O-glycans (O-glycans) are one of the most common glycans attached to proteins. To develop an optimized glycomic analysis protocol, O-glycans were released from glycoproteins using hydrazine, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide treatment, followed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography to evaluate O-glycan release. We found that porcine gastric mucin or bovine fetuin treated at 60 °C for 6 h with hydrazine gas in the presence of malonic acid yielded O-glycans with only a small amount of degraded, so-called "peeled" products. Ammonia treatment also yielded intact O-glycans but with additional peeled products containing GlcNAc at the reducing end. In contrast, sodium hydroxide treatment yielded mainly peeled glycans, including those containing GlcNAc at the reducing end. Importantly, O-glycans obtained from rat gastric mucin treated with hydrazine and labeled with anthranilic acid had a nearly identical profile following hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography as permethylated O-glycan alditols analyzed by mass spectroscopy. Taken together, the data suggest that glycan release using hydrazine treatment, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography after fluorescent labeling, is a suitable method for glycomic analysis of mucin-type O-glycans.

Abstract
The culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) production. The quality by design (QbD) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. An important step in QbD is determination of the main quality attributes. During the media optimization, some of the main quality attributes such as glycosylation pattern, charge variants, aggregates, and low-molecular-weight species, could be significantly altered. Here, we provide an overview of how cell culture medium components affects the main quality attributes of the mAbs. Knowing the relationship between the culture media components and the main quality attributes could be successfully utilized for a rational optimization of mammalian cell culture media for industrial mAbs production.

Comprehensive N-Glycan Profiling of Cetuximab Biosimilar Candidate by NP-HPLC and MALDI-MS. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0170013.

Abstract
Monitoring glycosylation of the mAbs have been emphasized and routinely characterized in biopharmaceutical industries because the carbohydrate components are closely related to the safety, efficacy, and consistency of the antibodies. In this study, the comprehensive glycan profiling of a biosimilar candidate of cetuximab was successfully characterized using Normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) in combination with Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The presence of minor N-linked glycans containing sialic acid lactone residues (NeuAcLac) was observed in the biosimilar for the first time, which could influence the quantitative analysis of sialylated glycans and interfere with quantification of neutral glycans when it was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography fluorescence (HPLC-FL). To overcome this issue, mild alkali treatment was used to hydrolyze lactone of the sialic acid to their neutral formation, which had no impact on the analysis of other glycans before and after the treatment. As a result, the mild alkali treatment might be helpful to obtain quantitative glycan profiling of the mAbs drugs with enhanced accuracy and robustness.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of glycans is a template-free process; hence compositionally identical glycans may contain highly heterogeneous structures. Meanwhile, the functions of glycans in biological processes are significantly influenced by the glycan structure. Structural elucidation of glycans is an essential component of glycobiology. Although NMR is considered the most powerful approach for structural glycan studies, it suffers from low sensitivity and requires highly purified glycans. Although mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods have been applied in numerous glycan structure studies, there are challenges in preserving glycan structure during ionization. Permethylation is an efficient derivatization method that improves glycan structural stability. In this report, permethylated glycans are isomerically separated; thus facilitating structural analysis of a mixture of glycans by LC-MS/MS. Separation by porous graphitic carbon liquid chromatography at high temperatures in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (PGC-LC-MS/MS) was utilized for unequivocal characterization of glycan isomers. Glycan fucosylation sites were confidently determined by eliminating fucose rearrangement and assignment of diagnostic ions, achieved by permethylation and PGC-LC at high temperatures, respectively. Assigning monosaccharide residues to specific glycan antennae was also achieved. Galactose linkages were also distinguished from each other by CID/HCD tandem MS. This was attainable because of the different bond energies associated with monosaccharide linkages. Graphical Abstract LC-MS and tandem MS of terminal galactose isomers.

Polysaccharide Capsule Composition of Pneumococcal Serotype 19A Subtypes Is Unaltered among Subtypes and Independent of the Nutritional Environment. Infect Immun 2016; 84:3152-3160. [PMID: 27550933 DOI: 10.1128/iai.00474-16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2016] [Accepted: 08/12/2016] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Serotype 19A strains have emerged as a cause of invasive pneumococcal disease after the introduction of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7), and serotype 19A has now been included in the recent 13-valent vaccine (PCV13). Genetic analysis has revealed at least three different capsular serotype 19A subtypes, and nutritional environment-dependent variation of the 19A capsule structure has been reported. Pneumococcal vaccine effectiveness and serotyping accuracy might be impaired by structural differences in serotype 19A capsules. We therefore analyzed the distribution of 19A subtypes collected within a Swiss national surveillance program and determined capsule composition under different nutritional conditions with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. After the introduction of PCV7, a significant relative increase of subtype 19A-II and decrease of 19A-I occurred. Chemical analyses showed no difference in the composition as well as the linkage of 19A subtype capsular saccharides grown in defined and undefined growth media, which is consistent with a trisaccharide repeat unit composed of rhamnose, N-acetyl-mannosamine, and glucose. In summary, our study suggests that no structural variance dependent of the nutritional environment or the subtype exists. The serotype 19A subtype shift observed after the introduction of the PCV7 can therefore not be explained by selection of a capsule structure variant. However, capsule composition analysis of emerging 19A clones is recommended in cases where there is no other explanation for a selective advantage, such as antibiotic resistance or loss or acquisition of other virulence factors.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has become an important technology for glycan analysis due to its ease of operation, short analysis time and impurity tolerance. However, the low ionization efficiency of N-glycans led to the difficulty in analyzing glycans of low abundance in complex biological samples due to the lack of basic site for protonation. Therefore, highly sensitive method for the glycans analysis is in urgent demand. Here we report a new strategy to introduce a permanent charge at the reducing end of N-linked glycans by a one pot reaction, where glycosylamines that were obtained by rapid deglycosylation within 5min were labeled with N-succinimidyloxycarbonylmethyl tris (2,4,6- trimethoxyphenyl) phosphonium bromide (TMPP-Ac-OSu). With TMPP-Ac labeling, more than 50 fold enhancement in the sensitivity of method was achieved for neutral glycans from ribonuclease B (RNase B) in comparison to their native counterparts. In combination with methylamidation of sialic acid residues, this novel developed strategy could also be used for sialylated glycans analysis from sialoglycoproteins and complex serum sample. As a result, more than 50 glycans were detected with only 25nL human serum sample.
