Abstract
Mammalian sperm glycans directly mediate several key life events. However, previous studies have not focused on two key factors that regulate these processes, the terminal glycan pattern and the anchoring sites. Herein, we group the capping monosaccharide sialic acid (Sia) and its capping substrates galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine (Gal/GalNAc) into a "correlated terminal glycan pair" (glycopair) and, for the first time, reveal the differences in the aglycone pattern of this pair on spermatozoa using glyco-selective in situ covalent labeling techniques. Sia is mainly found in glycoproteins, whereas terminal Gal/GalNAc is mainly found in glycolipids. We quantitatively track the dynamic changes of the glycopair during sperm epididymal migration and find that the Sia capping ratio decreases with the increased expression of the glycopair; caudal upswim spermatozoa also show a lower Sia capping ratio than down spermatozoa. We thus propose two new parameters reflecting the terminal glycoforms of spermatozoa, which can well distinguish the maturity of spermatozoa. By fluorescence imaging of the glycopair in different regions of the sperm, we find that different parts of the sperm contribute differently to the overall glycan changes.

Cancer Lett 2024; 598:217101. [PMID: 38969156 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2024.217101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of tumor cells, non-tumor cells, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules, which can contribute to tumor initiation, progression, and therapy resistance. In response to starvation, hypoxia, and drug treatments, tumor cells undergo a variety of deleterious endogenous stresses, such as hypoxia, DNA damage, and oxidative stress. In this context, to survive the difficult situation, tumor cells evolve multiple conserved adaptive responses, including metabolic reprogramming, DNA damage checkpoints, homologous recombination, up-regulated antioxidant pathways, and activated unfolded protein responses. In the last decades, the protein O-GlcNAcylation has emerged as a crucial causative link between glucose metabolism and tumor progression. Here, we discuss the relevant pathways that regulate the above responses. These pathways are adaptive adjustments induced by endogenous stresses in cells. In addition, we systematically discuss the role of O-GlcNAcylation-regulated stress-induced adaptive response pathways (SARPs) in TME remodeling, tumor progression, and treatment resistance. We also emphasize targeting O-GlcNAcylation through compounds that modulate OGT or OGA activity to inhibit tumor progression. It seems that targeting O-GlcNAcylated proteins to intervene in TME may be a novel approach to improve tumor prognosis.

Abstract
Living acute brain slices provide a practical platform for imaging sialylation in human brain pathology. However, the limited lifespan of acute brain slices has impeded the use of metabolic glycan labeling (MGL), which requires long-term incubation of clickable unnatural sugars such as N-azidoacetylmannosamine (ManNAz) to metabolically incorporate azides into sialoglycans. Here, we report a fast variant of MGL (fMGL), in which ManNAz-6-phosphate enables efficient azidosugar incorporation within 12 h by bypassing the bottleneck step in the sialic acid biosynthesis pathway, followed by click-labeling with fluorophores and imaging of sialoglycans in acute brain slices from mice and human patients. In the clinical samples of ganglioglioma, fMGL-based imaging reveals specific upregulation of sialylation in astrocyte-like but not neuron-like tumor cells. In addition, fMGL is integrated with click-expansion microscopy for high-resolution imaging of sialoglycans in brain slices. The fMGL strategy should find broad applications in the tissue imaging of glycans and surgical pathology.

Abstract
Glycans, particularly sialic acids (SAs), play crucial roles in diverse biological processes. Despite their significance, analyzing specific glycans, such as sialic acids, on individual small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) has remained challenging due to the limited glycan capacity and substantial heterogeneity of sEVs. To tackle this issue, we introduce a chemical modification method of surface SAs on sEVs named PALEV-nFCM, which involves periodate oxidation and aniline-catalyzed oxime ligation (PAL), in conjunction with single-particle analysis using a laboratory-built nano-flow cytometer (nFCM). The specificity of the PALEV labeling method was validated using SA-decorated liposomes, enzymatic removal of terminal SA residues, lectin preblocking, and cellular treatment with an endogenous sialyltransferase inhibitor. Comprehensive mapping of SA distributions was conducted for sEVs derived from different sources, including conditioned cell culture medium (CCCM) of various cell lines, human saliva, and human red blood cells (RBCs). Notably, treatment with the calcium ionophore substantially increases the population of SA-positive RBC sEVs and enhances the SA content on individual RBC sEVs as well. nFCM provides a sensitive and versatile platform for mapping SAs of individual sEVs, which could significantly contribute to resolving the heterogeneity of sEVs and advancing the understanding of their glycosignature.

Abstract
Heart transplantation offers life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure; however, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and subsequent immune responses remain significant challenges. Current therapies primarily target adaptive immunity, with limited options available for addressing IRI and innate immune activation. Although plant-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles show promise in managing diseases, their application in organ transplantation complications is unexplored. Here, this work develops a novel reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive multifunctional fusion extracellular nanovesicles carrying rapamycin (FNVs@RAPA) to address early IRI and Ly6C+Ly6G- inflammatory macrophage-mediated rejection in heart transplantation. The FNVs comprise Exocarpium Citri grandis-derived extracellular nanovesicles with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and mesenchymal stem cell membrane-derived nanovesicles expressing calreticulin with macrophage-targeting ability. A novel ROS-responsive bio-orthogonal chemistry approach facilitates the active targeting delivery of FNVs@RAPA to the heart graft site, effectively alleviating IRI and promoting the polarization of Ly6C+Ly6G- inflammatory macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Hence, FNVs@RAPA represents a promising therapeutic approach for mitigating early transplantation complications and immune rejection. The fusion-targeted delivery strategy offers superior heart graft site enrichment and macrophage-specific targeting, promising improved transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Tn antigen (CD175), recognized as the precursor monosaccharide (α-GalNAc) of mucin O-glycan, is a well-known tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA). It has emerged as a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, the role it plays in cancer biology remains elusive due to the absence of a sensitive and selective detection method. In this study, we synthesized two new probes based on a unique uridine-5'-diphospho-α-d-galactose (UDP-Gal) derivative, each functionalized with either a fluorescence or a cleavable biotin tag, to develop an innovative one-step enzymatic labeling strategy, enabling the visualization, enrichment, and site-specific mapping of the Tn antigen with unparalleled sensitivity and specificity. Our versatile strategy has been successfully applied to detect and image Tn antigen across various samples, including the complex cell lysates, live cells, serum, and tissue samples. Compared to the traditional lectin method, this one-step enzymatic method is simpler and more efficient (>10/100-fold in sensitivity). Furthermore, it allowed us to map 454 Tn-glycoproteins and 624 Tn-glycosylation sites from HEK293FTn+ and Jurkat cells. Therefore, our strategy provides an exceptionally promising tool for revealing the biological functions of the Tn antigen and advancing cancer diagnostics.

Abstract
All multicellular systems produce and dynamically regulate extracellular matrices (ECM) that play important roles in both biochemical and mechanical signaling. Though the spatial arrangement of these extracellular assemblies is critical to their biological functions, visualization of ECM structure is challenging, in part because the biomolecules that compose the ECM are difficult to fluorescently label individually and collectively. Here, we present a cell-impermeable small molecule fluorophore, termed Rhobo6, that turns on and red shifts upon reversible binding to glycans. Given that most ECM components are densely glycosylated, the dye enables wash-free visualization of ECM, in systems ranging from in vitro substrates to in vivo mouse mammary tumors. Relative to existing techniques, Rhobo6 provides a broad substrate profile, superior tissue penetration, nonperturbative labeling, and negligible photobleaching. This work establishes a straightforward method for imaging the distribution of ECM in live tissues and organisms, lowering barriers for investigation of extracellular biology.

Abstract
Recent strides in nanomaterials science have paved the way for the creation of reliable, effective, highly accurate, and user-friendly biomedical systems. Pioneering the integration of natural cell membranes into sophisticated nanocarrier architectures, cell membrane camouflage has emerged as a transformative approach for regulated drug delivery, offering the benefits of minimal immunogenicity coupled with active targeting capabilities. Nevertheless, the utility of nanomaterials with such camouflage is curtailed by challenges like suboptimal targeting precision and lackluster therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Cell surface glycans (CSGs) are essential for cell recognition, adhesion, and invasion, and they also serve as disease biomarkers. Traditional CSG recognition using lectins has limitations such as limited specificity, low stability, high cytotoxicity, and multivalent binding. Aptamers, known for their specific binding capacity to target molecules, are increasingly being employed in the biosensing of CSGs. Aptamers offer the advantage of high flexibility, small size, straightforward modification, and monovalent recognition, enabling their integration into the profiling of CSGs on living cells. In this review, we summarize representative examples of aptamer-based CSG biosensing and identify two strategies for harnessing aptamers in CSG detection: direct recognition based on aptamer-CSG binding and indirect recognition through protein localization. These strategies enable the generation of diverse signals including fluorescence, electrochemical, photoacoustic, and electrochemiluminescence signals for CSG detection. The advantages, challenges, and future perspectives of using aptamers for CSG biosensing are also discussed.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a cell-surface glycoprotein that is involved mainly in cell proliferation. Overexpression of this receptor is intimately related to the development of a broad spectrum of tumors. In addition, glycans linked to the EGFR are known to affect its EGF-induced activation. Because of the pathophysiological significance of the EGFR, we prepared a fluorescently labeled EGFR (EGFR128-AZDye 488) on the cell surface by employing the genetic code expansion technique and bioorthogonal chemistry. EGFR128-AZDye 488 was initially utilized to investigate time-dependent endocytosis of the EGFR in live cells. The results showed that an EGFR inhibitor and antibody suppress endocytosis of the EGFR promoted by the EGF, and that lectins recognizing glycans of the EGFR do not enhance EGFR internalization into cells. Observations made in studies of the effects of appended glycans on the entry of the EGFR into cells indicate that a de-sialylated or de-fucosylated EGFR is internalized into cells more efficiently than a wild-type EGFR. Furthermore, by using the FRET-based imaging method of cells which contain an EGFR linked to AZDye 488 (a FRET donor) and cellular glycans labeled with rhodamine (a FRET acceptor), sialic acid residues attached to the EGFR were specifically detected on the live cell surface. Taken together, the results suggest that a fluorescently labeled EGFR will be a valuable tool in studies aimed at gaining an understanding of cellular functions of the EGFR.

Abstract
A significant portion of mammalian proteomes is secreted to the extracellular space to fulfill crucial roles in cell-to-cell communication. To best recapitulate the intricate and multi-faceted crosstalk between cells in a live organism, there is an ever-increasing need for methods to study protein secretion in model systems that include multiple cell types. In addition, posttranslational modifications further expand the complexity and versatility of cellular communication. This review aims to summarize recent strategies and model systems that employ cellular coculture, chemical biology tools, protein enrichment, and proteomic methods to characterize the composition and function of cellular secretomes. This is all geared towards gaining better understanding of organismal biology in vivo mediated by secretory signaling.

Abstract
Metabolic oligosaccharide engineering (MOE) is a classical chemical approach to perturb, profile and perceive glycans in physiological systems, but probes upon bioorthogonal reaction require accessibility and the background signal readout makes it challenging to achieve glycan quantification. Here we develop SeMOE, a selenium-based metabolic oligosaccharide engineering strategy that concisely combines elemental analysis and MOE,enabling the mass spectrometric imaging of glycome. We also demonstrate that the new-to-nature SeMOE probes allow for detection, quantitative measurement and visualization of glycans in diverse biological contexts. We also show that chemical reporters on conventional MOE can be integrated into a bifunctional SeMOE probe to provide multimodality signal readouts. SeMOE thus provides a convenient and simplified method to explore the glyco-world.

Abstract
The complexity and heterogeneity of protein glycosylation present an analytical challenge to the studies of characterization and quantitation. Various LC-MS-based quantitation strategies have emerged in recent decades. Metabolic stable isotope labeling has been developed to enhance the accurate LC/MS-based quantitation between different cell lines. Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in a cell culture (SILAC) is the most widely used metabolic labeling method in proteomic analysis. However, it can only label the peptide backbone and is thus limited in glycomic studies. Here, we present a metabolic isotope labeling strategy, named GlyProSILC (Glycan Protein Stable Isotope Labeling in Cell Culture), that can label both the glycan motif and peptide backbone from the same batch of cells. It was performed by feeding cells with a heavy medium containing amide-15N-glutamine, 13C6-arginine (Arg6), and 13C6-15N2-lysine (Lys8). No significant change of cell line metabolism after GlyProSILC labeling was observed based on transcriptomic, glycomic, and proteomic data. The labeling conditions, labeling efficiency, and quantitation accuracy were investigated. After quantitation correction, we simultaneously quantified 62 N-glycans, 574 proteins, and 344 glycopeptides using the same batch of mixed 231BR/231 cell lines. So far, GlyProSILC provides an accurate and effective quantitation approach for glycomics, proteomics, and glycoproteomics in a cell culture system.

Abstract
Executing glycan editing at a molecular level not only is pivotal for the elucidation of complicated mechanisms involved in glycan-relevant biological processes but also provides a promising solution to potentiate disease therapy. However, the precision control of glycan modification or glyco-editing on a selected glycoprotein is by far a grand challenge. Of note is to preserve the intact cellular glycan landscape, which is preserved after editing events are completed. We report herein a versatile, traceless glycan modification methodology for customizing the glycoforms of targeted proteins (subtypes), by orchestrating chemical- and photoregulation in a protein-selective glycoenzymatic system. This method relies on a three-module, ligand-photocleavable linker-glycoenzyme (L-P-G) conjugate. We demonstrated that RGD- or synthetic carbohydrate ligand-containing conjugates (RPG and SPG) would not activate until after the ligand-receptor interaction is accomplished (chemical regulation). RPG and SPG can both release the glycoenzyme upon photoillumination (photoregulation). The adjustable glycoenzyme activity, combined with ligand recognition selectivity, minimizes unnecessary glycan editing perturbation, and photolytic cleavage enables precise temporal control of editing events. An altered target protein turnover and dimerization were observed in our system, emphasizing the significance of preserving the native physiological niche of a particular protein when precise modification on the carbohydrate epitope occurs.

Abstract
Multicolor labeling for monitoring the intracellular localization of the same target type in the native environment using chemical fluorescent dyes is a challenging task. This approach requires both bioorthogonal and biocompatible ligations with an excellent fluorescence signal-to-noise ratio. Here, we present a metabolic glycan labeling technique that uses homemade fluorogenic dyes to investigate glycosylation patterns in live cells. These dyes allowed us to demonstrate rapid and efficient simultaneous multilabeling of glycoconjugates with minimum fluorescence noise. Our results demonstrate that this approach is capable of not only probing sialylation and GlcNAcylation in cells but also specifically labeling the cell-surface and intracellular sialylated glycoconjugates in live cells. In particular, we performed site-specific dual-channel fluorescence imaging of extra and intracellular sialylated glycans in HeLa and PC9 cancer cells as well as identified fluorescently labeled sialylated glycoproteins and glycans by a direct enrichment approach combined with an MS-based proteomic analysis in the same experiment. In conclusion, this study provides multilabeling tools in cellular systems for simultaneous site-specific glycan imaging and glycoproteomic analysis to study potential cancer- and disease-associated glycoconjugates.

Abstract
Proteins are ubiquitously modified with glycans of varied chemical structures through distinct glycosidic linkages, making the landscape of protein glycosylation challenging to map. Profiling of intact glycopeptides with mass spectrometry (MS) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for revealing matched information of the glycosylation sites and attached glycans (i.e., intact glycosites), but is largely limited to individual glycosylation types. Herein, we describe Click-iG, which integrates metabolic labeling of glycans with clickable unnatural sugars, an optimized MS method, and a tailored version of pGlyco3 software to enable simultaneous enrichment and profiling of three types of intact glycopeptides: N-linked, mucin-type O-linked, and O-GlcNAcylated glycopeptides. We demonstrate the utility of Click-iG by the identification of thousands of intact glycosites in cell lines and living mice. From the mouse lung, heart, and spleen, a total of 2053 intact N-glycosites, 262 intact O-GalNAc glycosites, and 1947 O-GlcNAcylation sites were identified. Click-iG-enabled comprehensive coverage of the protein glycosylation landscape lays the foundation for interrogating crosstalk between different glycosylation pathways.

Abstract
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) regulates metabolism and cell growth in response to nutrient levels. Dysregulation of mTORC1 results in a broad spectrum of diseases. Glucose is the primary energy supply of cells, and therefore, glucose levels must be accurately conveyed to mTORC1 through highly responsive signaling mechanisms to control mTORC1 activity. Here, we report that glucose-induced mTORC1 activation is regulated by O-GlcNAcylation of Raptor, a core component of mTORC1, in HEK293T cells. Mechanistically, O-GlcNAcylation of Raptor at threonine 700 facilitates the interactions between Raptor and Rag GTPases and promotes the translocation of mTOR to the lysosomal surface, consequently activating mTORC1. In addition, we show that AMPK-mediated phosphorylation of Raptor suppresses Raptor O-GlcNAcylation and inhibits Raptor-Rags interactions. Our findings reveal an exquisitely controlled mechanism, which suggests how glucose coordinately regulates cellular anabolism and catabolism.

Abstract
It is of great interest to probe glycosylation in primary neuron cultures. However, per-O-acetylated clickable unnatural sugars, which have been routinely utilized in metabolic glycan labeling (MGL) for analyzing glycans, showed cytotoxicity to cultured primary neurons and thus led to the speculation that MGL was not compatible with primary neuron cell cultures. Here, we uncovered that neuron cytotoxicity of per-O-acetylated unnatural sugars was related to their reactions with protein cysteines via non-enzymatic S-glyco-modification. The modified proteins were enriched in biological functions related to microtubule cytoskeleton organization, positive regulation of axon extension, neuron projection development, and axonogenesis. We thus established MGL in cultured primary neurons without cytotoxicity using S-glyco-modification-free unnatural sugars including ManNAz, 1,3-Pr2ManNAz, and 1,6-Pr2ManNAz, which allowed for visualization of cell-surface sialylated glycans, probing the dynamics of sialylation, and large-scale identification of sialylated N-linked glycoproteins and the modification sites in primary neurons. Particularly, a total of 505 sialylated N-glycosylation sites distributed on 345 glycoproteins were identified by 1,6-Pr2ManNAz.

Abstract
Despite the rich information about the physiological state of a cell encoded in the dynamic changes of cell-surface glycans, chemical methods to capture specific glycan epitopes at the single-cell level are quite limited. Here, we report a chemoenzymatic method for the single-cell detection of N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) by labeling LacNAc with a specific DNA barcode. The chemoenzymatic labeling does not alter the transcriptional status of immune cells and is compatible with multiple scRNA-seq platforms. Integrated analysis of LacNAc and the transcriptome of T cells at the single-cell level reveals that the amount of cell-surface LacNAc is significantly upregulated in activated CD8+ T cells but maintained at basal levels in resting CD8+ T cells (i.e., naive and central memory T cells). Further analysis confirms that LacNAc levels are positively correlated with the glycolytic activity of CD8+ T cells during differentiation. Taken together, our study demonstrates the feasibility of the chemoenzymatic detection of cell-surface glycan in single-cell RNA sequencing-based multiomics with TCR sequence and cell-surface epitope information (i.e., scTCR and CITE-seq), and provides a new way to characterize the biological role of glycan in diverse physiological states.

Abstract
Protein O-glycosylation is widely identified in various proteins involved in diverse biological processes. Recent studies have demonstrated that O-glycosylation plays crucial and multifaceted roles in modulating protein amyloid aggregation and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) under physiological conditions. Dysregulation of these processes is closely associated with human diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and cancers. In this review, we first summarize the distinct roles of O-glycosylation in regulating pathological aggregation of different amyloid proteins related to NDs and elaborate the underlying mechanisms of how O-glycosylation modulates protein aggregation kinetics, induces new aggregated structures, and mediates the pathogenesis of amyloid aggregates under diseased conditions. Furthermore, we introduce recent discoveries on O-GlcNAc-mediated regulation of synaptic LLPS and phase separation potency of low-complexity domain-enriched proteins. Finally, we identify challenges in future research and highlight the potential for developing new therapeutic strategies of NDs by targeting protein O-glycosylation.

Chemoproteomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals that O-GlcNAc Regulates Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Fate through the Pluripotency Network. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202300500.

Abstract
Self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are influenced by protein O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification, but the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Herein, we report the identification of 979 O-GlcNAcylated proteins and 1340 modification sites in mouse ESCs (mESCs) by using a chemoproteomics method. In addition to OCT4 and SOX2, the third core pluripotency transcription factor (PTF) NANOG was found to be modified and functionally regulated by O-GlcNAc. Upon differentiation along the neuronal lineage, the O-GlcNAc stoichiometry at 123 sites of 83 proteins-several of which were PTFs-was found to decline. Transcriptomic profiling reveals 2456 differentially expressed genes responsive to OGT inhibition during differentiation, of which 901 are target genes of core PTFs. By acting on the core PTF network, suppression of O-GlcNAcylation upregulates neuron-related genes, thus contributing to mESC fate determination.

Abstract
Bioconjugation, a synthetic tool that endows small molecules with biocompatibility and target specificity through covalent attachment of a biomolecule, holds promise for next-generation diagnosis or therapy. Besides the establishment of chemical bonding, such chemical modification concurrently allows alteration of the physicochemical properties of small molecules, but this has been paid less attention in designing novel bioconjugates. Here, we report a "two birds one stone" methodology for irreversible porphyrin bioconjugation based on β-fluoropyrrolyl-cysteine SNAr chemistry, in which the β-fluorine of porphyrin is selectively replaced by a cysteine in either peptides or proteins to generate novel β-peptidyl/proteic porphyrins. Notably, due to the distinct electronic nature between fluorine and sulfur, such replacement makes the Q band red-shift to the near-infrared region (NIR, >700 nm). This facilitates intersystem crossing (ISC) to enhance the triplet population and thus singlet oxygen production. This new methodology features water tolerance, a fast reaction time (15 min), good chemo-selectivity, and broad substrate scope, including various peptides and proteins under mild conditions. To demonstrate its potential, we applied porphyrin β-bioconjugates in several scenarios, including (1) cytosolic delivery of functional proteins, (2) metabolic glycan labeling, (3) caspase-3 detection, and (4) tumor-targeting phototheranostics.

Abstract
Clickable unnatural sugars have been widely used in studying glycosylation in living systems via the metabolic glycan labelling (MGL) strategy. Partial protection of unnatural sugars by 1,6-di-O-acylation increases the labelling efficiency while avoiding the non-specific S-glyco-modification. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of a series of clickable unnatural sugars in both the unprotected and 1,6-di-O-acylated forms at the ten-gram scale. By evaluation of the labelling specificity, efficiency, and biocompatibility of various 1,6-di-O-acylated sugars for MGL in cell lines and living mice, we demonstrate that 1,6-di-O-propionylated unnatural sugars are optimal chemical reporters for glycan labelling. The synthetic routes developed in this work should facilitate the widespread use of MGL with no artificial S-glyco-modification for investigating the functional roles of glycans.

Abstract
The introduction of unnatural chemical moieties into glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) has enormous potential to facilitate studies of the mechanism and application of these critical, widespread molecules. Unnatural N-acetylhexosamine analogs were metabolically incorporated into the capsule polysaccharides of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis via bacterial metabolism. Targeted metabolic labeled hyaluronan and the precursors of heparin and chondroitin sulfate were obtained. The azido-labeled polysaccharides (purified or in capsules) were reacted with dyes, via bioorthogonal chemistry, to enable detection and imaging. Site-specific introduction of fluorophores directly onto cell surfaces affords another choice for observing and quantifying bacteria in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, azido-polysaccharides retain similar biological properties to their natural analogs, and reliable and predictable introduction of functionalities, such as fluorophores, onto azido-N-hexosamines in the disaccharide repeat units provides chemical tools for imaging and metabolic analysis of GAGs in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Mucins represent a largely untapped class of polymeric building block for biomaterials, therapeutics, and other biotechnology. Because the mucin polymer backbone is genetically encoded, sequence-specific mucins with defined physical and biochemical properties can be fabricated using recombinant technologies. The pendent O-glycans of mucins are increasingly implicated in immunomodulation, suppression of pathogen virulence, and other biochemical activities. Recent advances in engineered cell production systems are enabling the scalable synthesis of recombinant mucins with precisely tuned glycan side chains, offering exciting possibilities to tune the biological functionality of mucin-based products. New metabolic and chemoenzymatic strategies enable further tuning and functionalization of mucin O-glycans, opening new possibilities to expand the chemical diversity and functionality of mucin building blocks. In this review, we discuss these advances, and the opportunities for engineered mucins in biomedical applications ranging from in vitro models to therapeutics.

Abstract
Rare and undiagnosed diseases tend to be diverse, misdiagnosed, and difficult to diagnose. In some cases, the disease is progressive and life-threatening. Yet, to date, an estimated 95% of rare diseases have no approved therapy. Therefore, rare and undiagnosed diseases are considered the ultimate challenges for understanding human diseases. Here, we review the research progress, research frontiers, and important scientific issues related to rare and undiagnosed diseases. We mainly focus on five topics: (1) the identification and functional analysis of disease-causing genes; (2) the construction of cells, organoids, and animal models for mechanism validation; (3) subtyping and diagnosis; (4) treatment and drug screening based on causative genes and mutations; and (5) new technologies and methods for studying rare and undiagnosed diseases. In this review, we briefly update and discuss the pathogenic mechanisms and precision medicine for rare and undiagnosed diseases.

Abstract
The emergence of optochemical approaches has had a diverse impact over a broad range of biological research due to spatiotemporal regulation. Herein, we integrate this feature into the bioorthogonal chemical reporter strategy, which enables visible light-controlled spatiotemporal labeling of cell-surface glycans, lipids, and proteins. The metabolic precursors were first incorporated into live cells, and next the bioorthogonal reaction converted the azide/alkyne into a photo-active functional group, which allowed for subsequent photo-click reaction. We demonstrated this strategy by specifically labeling sialome, mucin-type O-glycome, phospholipids and newly-synthesized membrane proteins, respectively. The sequential photoirradiation-orthogonal reporter tagging (SPORT) should facilitate the probing of biomolecules in complex biological systems with high spatiotemporal precision.

Abstract
Cell-surface glycans are central to many biological processes, yet methods for their site-selective modification are limited. Strategies for interrogating the structure and function of proteins have been enabled by chemoselective reactions of sidechain functionality for covalent modification, capture, or imaging. However, unlike protein sidechains, glycan building blocks lack distinguishing reactivity. Moreover, glycans are not primary gene products, so encoding glycan variants through genetic manipulation is challenging. Reactive functional groups can be introduced into glycans through metabolic engineering, which involves the generation of modified nucleotide-sugar building blocks. Lipid-linked building blocks, which are also used in glycan biosynthesis, have the advantage that they can be delivered directly to glycosyltransferases to function as surrogate substrates. This process, termed "biosynthetic incorporation," takes advantage of the properties of bacterial glycosyltransferase: they are selective for the products they generate yet promiscuous in their donor preferences. We describe how this strategy can be implemented to label arabinofuranose-containing glycans on the surface of mycobacterial cells. We anticipate that this platform can be expanded to develop chemoselective labeling agents for other important bacterial monosaccharides.
