Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05475-7. [PMID: 39138658 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05475-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSL) are a highly heterogeneous class of lipids representing the majority of the sphingolipid category. GSL are fundamental constituents of cellular membranes that have key roles in various biological processes, such as cellular signaling, recognition, and adhesion. Understanding the structural complexity of GSL is pivotal for unraveling their functional significance in a biological context, specifically their crucial role in the pathophysiology of various diseases. Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a versatile and indispensable tool for the structural elucidation of GSL enabling a deeper understanding of their complex molecular structures and their key roles in cellular dynamics and patholophysiology. Here, we provide a thorough overview of MS techniques tailored for the analysis of GSL, emphasizing their utility in probing GSL intricate structures to advance our understanding of the functional relevance of GSL in health and disease. The application of tandem MS using diverse fragmentation techniques, including novel ion activation methodologies, in studying glycan sequences, linkage positions, and fatty acid composition is extensively discussed. Finally, we address current challenges, such as the detection of low-abundance species and the interpretation of complex spectra, and offer insights into potential solutions and future directions by improving MS instrumentation for enhanced sensitivity and resolution, developing novel ionization techniques, or integrating MS with other analytical approaches for comprehensive GSL characterization.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are glycolipids with ceramide and carbohydrate head groups that play an important role in numerous biological processes. Previously, we performed GSL-glycan analysis of various cell lines and virus-infected cells using a glycoblotting approach. Recently, we developed several methods for sialic acid linkage-specific chemical modification to distinguish sialylated glycan isomers by mass spectrometry. In this chapter, we describe a method for analyzing GSL-glycans in human serum/plasma using glycoblotting combined with aminolysis-SALSA (sialic acid linkage-specific alkylamidation) and lactone-driven ester-to-amide derivatization (LEAD)-SALSA for comprehensive and detailed structural glycomics.

Glycosphingolipid GM3 prevents albuminuria and podocytopathy induced by anti-nephrin antibody. Sci Rep 2022; 12:16058. [PMID: 36163359 PMCID: PMC9513075 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-20265-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Podocytopathy, which is characterized by injury to podocytes, frequently causes proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome. There is currently a paucity of effective therapeutic drugs to treat proteinuric kidney disease. Recent research suggests the possibility that glycosphingolipid GM3 maintains podocyte function by acting on various molecules including nephrin, but its mechanism of action remains unknown. Here, various analyses were performed to examine the potential relationship between GM3 and nephrin, and the function of GM3 in podocytes using podocytopathy mice, GM3 synthase gene knockout mice, and nephrin injury cells. Reduced amounts of GM3 and nephrin were observed in podocytopathy mice. Intriguingly, this reduction of GM3 and nephrin, as well as albuminuria, were inhibited by administration of valproic acid. However, when the same experiment was performed using GM3 synthase gene knockout mice, valproic acid administration did not inhibit albuminuria. Equivalent results were obtained in model cells. These findings indicate that GM3 acts with nephrin in a collaborative manner in the cell membrane. Taken together, elevated levels of GM3 stabilize nephrin, which is a key molecule of the slit diaphragm, by enhancing the environment of the cell membrane and preventing albuminuria. This study provides novel insight into new drug discovery, which may offer a new therapy for kidney disease with albuminuria.

Abstract
Glycolipids are important components of cell membranes in several organisms. The major glycolipids in mammals are glycosphingolipids (GSLs), which are composed of ceramides. In mammals, GSLs are degraded stepwise from the non-reducing end of the oligosaccharides via exo-type glycosidases. However, endoglycoceramidase (EGCase), an endo-type glycosidase found in actinomycetes, is a unique enzyme that directly acts on the glycosidic linkage between oligosaccharides and ceramides to generate intact oligosaccharides and ceramides. Three molecular species of EGCase, namely EGCase I, EGCase II, and endogalactosylceramidase, have been identified based on their substrate specificity. EGCrP1 and EGCrP2, which are homologs of EGCase in pathogenic fungi, were identified as the first fungal glucosylceramide- and sterylglucoside-hydrolyzing glycosidases, respectively. These enzymes are promising targets for antifungal drugs against pathogenic fungi. This review describes the functions and properties of these microbial glycolipid-degrading enzymes, the molecular basis of their differential substrate specificity, and their applications.

Abstract
The glycocalyx is a layer of glycans that covers the surface of every cell. Glycans are covalently attached to proteins and lipids, and are classified into subclasses such as N-linked glycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycosphingolipid-glycans, free oligosaccharides, and O-linked glycans according to their biosynthetic pathways. These complex glycans affect various biological and pathological processes, such as cell growth, differentiation, and adhesion. During infection, bacteria and viruses often use glycans to recognize and attack host cells. In this chapter, we describe detailed protocols to prepare glycans, and perform comprehensive cellular glycomic analysis using glycoblotting and β-elimination with pyrazolone methods.

Abstract
This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2016. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions and applications to chemical synthesis. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and the enormous impact that MALDI imaging is having. MALDI, although invented over 30 years ago is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and range of applications show no sign of deminishing. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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

Abstract
ABO blood antigens on the human red blood cell membrane as well as different cells in various human tissues have been thoroughly studied. Anti-A and -B antibodies of IgM are present in serum/plasma, but blood group-specific glyco-antigens have not been extensively described. In this study, we performed comprehensive and quantitative serum glycomic analyses of various glycoconjugates and free oligosaccharides in all blood groups. Our comprehensive glycomic approach revealed that blood group-specific antigens in serum/plasma are predominantly present on glycosphingolipids on lipoproteins rather than glycoproteins. Expression of the ABO antigens on glycosphingolipids depends not only on blood type but also on secretor status. Blood group-specific glycans in serum/plasma were classified as type I, whereas those on RBCs had different structures including hexose and hexosamine residues. Analysis of free oligosaccharides revealed that low-molecular-weight blood group-specific glycans, commonly containing lacto-N-difucotetraose, were expressed in serum/plasma according to blood group. Furthermore, comprehensive glycomic analysis in human cerebrospinal fluid showed that many kinds of free oligosaccharides were highly expressed, and low-molecular-weight blood group-specific glycans, which existed in plasma from the same individuals, were present. Our findings provide the first evidence for low-molecular-weight blood group-specific glycans in both serum/plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSL) represent a highly heterogeneous class of lipids with many cellular functions, implicated in a wide spectrum of human diseases. Their isolation, detection, and comprehensive structural analysis is a challenging task due to the structural diversity of GSL molecules. In this work, GSL subclasses are isolated from human plasma using an optimized monophasic ethanol–water solvent system capable to recover a broad range of GSL species. Obtained deproteinized plasma is subsequently purified and concentrated by C18-based solid-phase extraction (SPE). The hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-ESI-LIT-MS/MS) is used for GSL analysis in the human plasma extract. Our results provide an in-depth profiling and structural characterization of glycosphingolipid and some phospholipid subclasses identified in the human plasma based on their retention times and the interpretation of tandem mass spectra. The structural composition of particular lipid species is readily characterized based on the detailed interpretation of mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra and further confirmed by specific fragmentation behavior following predictable patterns, which yields to the unambiguous identification of 154 GSL species within 7 lipid subclasses and 77 phospholipids representing the highest number of GSL species ever reported in the human plasma. The developed HILIC-ESI-MS/MS method can be used for further clinical and biological research of GSL in the human blood or other biological samples.

Abstract
Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can differentiate into a range of cell types during development, and this pluripotency is regulated by various extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Mucin-type O-glycosylation has been suggested to be a potential factor in the control of ESC pluripotency, and is characterized by the addition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to serine or threonine residues of membrane-anchored proteins and secreted proteins. To date, the relationship between mucin-type O-glycosylation and signaling in ESCs remains undefined. Here, we identify the elongation pathway via C1GalT1 that synthesizes T antigen (Galβ1-3GalNAc) as the most prominent among mucin-type O-glycosylation modifications in ESCs. Moreover, we show that mucin-type O-glycosylation on the Wnt signaling receptor frizzled-5 (Fzd5) regulates its endocytosis via galectin-3 binding to T antigen, and that reduction of T antigen results in the exit of the ESCs from pluripotency via canonical Wnt signaling activation. Our findings reveal a novel regulatory mechanism that modulates Wnt signaling and, consequently, ESC pluripotency.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Aberrant expression of glycosphingolipids has been implicated in a myriad of diseases, but our understanding of the strucural diversity, spatial distribution, and biological function of this class of biomolecules remains limited. These challenges partly stem from a lack of sensitive tools that can detect, identify, and quantify glycosphingolipids at the molecular level. Mass spectrometry has emerged as a powerful tool poised to address most of these challenges. Here, we review the recent developments in analytical glycosphingolipidomics with an emphasis on sample preparation, mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry-based structural characterization, label-free and labeling-based quantification. We also discuss the nomenclature of glycosphingolipids, and emerging technologies like ion mobility spectrometry in differentiation of glycosphingolipid isomers. The intrinsic advantages and shortcomings of each method are carefully critiqued in line with an individual's research goals. Finally, future perspectives on analytical sphingolipidomics are stated, including a need for novel and more sensive methods in isomer separation, low abundance species detection, and profiling the spatial distribution of glycosphingolipid molecular species in cells and tissues using imaging mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Glycans present extraordinary structural diversity commensurate with their involvement in numerous fundamental cellular processes including growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Unlike linear DNA and protein sequences, glycans have heterogeneous structures that differ in composition, branching, linkage, and anomericity. These differences pose a challenge to developing useful software for glycomic analysis. To overcome this problem, we developed the novel Toolbox Accelerating Glycomics (TAG) program. TAG consists of three units: ‘TAG List’ creates a glycan list that is used for database searching in TAG Expression; ‘TAG Expression’ automatically annotates and quantifies glycan signals and draws graphs; and ‘TAG Pathway’ maps the obtained expression information to biosynthetic pathways. Herein, we discuss the concepts, outline the TAG process, and demonstrate its potential using glycomic expression profile data from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and mutants lacking a functional Npc1 gene (Npc1 knockout (KO) CHO cells). TAG not only drastically reduced the amount of time and labor needed for glycomic analysis but also detected and quantified more glycans than manual analysis. Although this study was limited to the analysis of N-glycans and free oligosaccharides, the glycomic platform will be expanded to facilitate the analysis of O-glycans and glycans of glycosphingolipids.

Evaluation of Residual Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Human Chondrocytes by Cell Type-Specific Glycosphingolipid Glycome Analysis Based on the Aminolysis-SALSA Technique. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 21:ijms21010231.

Abstract
Cartilage damage may eventually lead to osteoarthritis because it is difficult to repair. Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived chondrocytes may potentially be used to treat cartilage damage, but the tumorigenicity of iPSCs is a major concern for their application in regenerative medicine. Many glycoconjugates serve as stem cell markers, and glycosphingolipids (GSLs) including H type 1 antigen (Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAc) have been expressed on the surface of iPSCs. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether GSL-glycome analysis is useful for quality control of residual iPSCs in chondrocytes. We performed GSL-glycome analysis of undifferentiated iPSCs in chondrocytes by combining glycoblotting and aminolysis-sialic acid linkage-specific alkylamidation (SALSA) method, enabling the detection of small quantities of iPSC-specific GSL-glycans from 5 × 104 cells. Furthermore, we estimated the residual amount of iPSCs using R-17F antibody, which possesses cytotoxic activity toward iPSCs that is dependent on the Lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFP I) of GSL. Moreover, we could detect a small number of LNFP I during mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation from iPSCs. This is the first demonstration that GSL-glycome analysis is useful for detecting undifferentiated iPSCs, and can thereby support safe regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In normal articular cartilage, chondrocytes do not readily proliferate or terminally differentiate, and exhibit a low level of metabolism. Hypertrophy-like changes of chondrocytes have been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis by inducing protease-mediated cartilage degradation and calcification; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes are unclear. Glycans are located on the outermost cell surface. Dynamic cellular differentiation can be monitored and quantitatively characterized by profiling the glycan structures of total cellular glycoproteins. This study aimed to clarify the alterations in glycans upon late differentiation of chondrocytes, during which hypertrophy-like changes occur. Primary mouse chondrocytes were differentiated using an insulin-induced chondro-osteogenic differentiation model. Comprehensive glycomics, including N-glycans, O-glycans, free oligosaccharides, glycosaminoglycan, and glycosphingolipid, were analyzed for the chondrocytes after 0-, 10- and 20-days cultivation. The comparison and clustering of the alteration of glycans upon hypertrophy-like changes of primary chondrocytes were performed. Comprehensive glycomic analyses provided complementary alterations in the levels of various glycans derived from glycoconjugates during hypertrophic differentiation. In addition, expression of genes related to glycan biosynthesis and metabolic processes was significantly correlated with glycan alterations. Our results indicate that total cellular glycan alterations are closely associated with chondrocyte hypertrophy and help to describe the glycophenotype by chondrocytes and their hypertrophic differentiation. our results will assist the identification of diagnostic and differentiation biomarkers in the future.

Abstract
Widely dispersed throughout the entire body tissues, gangliosides (GGs) are essential components of neuronal cell membranes, where exhibit a vital role in neuronal function and brain development, directly influencing the neural tube formation, neurogenesis, neurotransmission, etc. Due to several factors, partial or complete closing faults of the fetal neural tube may occur in the first trimester of pregnancy, generating a series of neural tube defects (NTD), among which anencephaly. The absence in anencephaly of the forebrain and skull bones determines the exposure to the amniotic fluid of the remaining brain tissue and the spinal cord, causing the degeneration of the nervous system tissue. Based on the previously achieved information related to the direct alteration of neural development with deficient concentration of several GGs, a systematic and comparative mass spectrometry (MS) mapping assay on GGs originating from fetuses in different intrauterine developmental stages, i.e. the 29th (denoted An29), 35th (An35) and the 37th (An37) gestational weeks was here conducted. Our approach, based on Orbitrap MS under high sensitivity, resolution and mass accuracy conditions, enabled for the first time the nanoelectrospray ionization, detection and identification of over 150 glycoforms, mainly novel, polysialylated species. Such a pattern, specific for incipient developmental stages reliably documents the brain development stagnation, characteristic for anencephaly. Further, the fragmentation MS2-MS3 experiments by collision induced dissociation (CID) confirmed the incidence in all three samples of GT2(d18:1/16:2) as a potential biomarker. Therefore, this fingerprinting of the anencephalic gangliosidome may serve in development of approaches for routine screening and early diagnosis.

Abstract
Application of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as tissue transplants in regenerative medicine depends on cell-surface marker-based characterization and/or purification. Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are a family of highly diverse surface-exposed biomolecules that have been neglected as potential surface markers for hiPSC-CMs due to significant analytical challenges. Here, we describe the development of a novel and high-throughput-compatible workflow for the analysis of GSL-derived glycans based on ceramide glycanase digestion, 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS) labeling, and multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis coupled to laser-induced fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF). GSL glycans were detected with highly reproducible migration times after repeated analysis by xCGE-LIF. We built up a migration time database comprising 38 different glycan species, and we showed exemplarily that as few as 10 pg of fucosyl lactotetra was detectable. GSL glycan profiling could be performed with 105 human induced pluripotent stem cells, and we quantitatively dissected global alterations of GSL glycosylation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and hiPSC-CMs by employing xCGE-LIF. In our study, we observed a general switch from complex GSLs with lacto- and globo-series core structures comprising the well-known human pluripotent stem cell marker stage-specific embryonic antigen 3 (SSEA3) and SSEA4 in hiPSCs toward the simple gangliosides GM3 and GD3 in hiPSC-CMs. This is the first description of GM3 and GD3 being highly abundant GSLs on the cell surface of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Post-translational modification of proteins by the attachment of glycans is governed by a variety of highly specific enzymes and is associated with fundamental impacts on the parent protein's physical, chemical and biological properties. The inherent connection between cellular physiology and specific glycosylation patterns has been shown to offer potential for diagnostic and prognostic monitoring of altered glycosylation in the disease state. Conversely, glycoprotein based biopharmaceuticals have emerged as dominant therapeutic strategies in the treatment of intricate diseases. Glycosylation present on these biopharmaceuticals represents a major critical quality attribute with impacts on both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The structural variety of glycans, based upon their non-template driven assembly, poses a significant analytical challenge for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Labile monosaccharide constituents, isomeric species and often low sample availability from biological sources necessitates meticulous sample handling, ultra-high-resolution analytical separation and sensitive detection techniques, respectively. In this article a critical review of analytical quantitation approaches using liquid phase separations coupled to mass spectrometry for released glycans of biopharmaceutical and biomedical significance is presented. Considerations associated with sample derivatisation strategies, ionisation, relative quantitation through isotopic as well as isobaric labelling, metabolic/enzymatic incorporation and targeted analysis are all thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
Endoglycoceramidases (EGCases) specifically hydrolyze the glycosidic linkage between the oligosaccharide and the ceramide moieties of various glycosphingolipids, and they have received substantial attention in the emerging field of glycosphingolipidology. However, the mechanism regulating the strict substrate specificity of these GH5 glycosidases has not been identified. In this study, we report a novel EGCase I from Rhodococcus equi 103S (103S_EGCase I) with remarkably broad substrate specificity. Based on phylogenetic analyses, the enzyme may represent a new subfamily of GH5 glycosidases. The X-ray crystal structures of 103S_EGCase I alone and in complex with its substrates monosialodihexosylganglioside (GM3) and monosialotetrahexosylganglioside (GM1) enabled us to identify several structural features that may account for its broad specificity. Compared with EGCase II from Rhodococcus sp. M-777 (M777_EGCase II), which possesses strict substrate specificity, 103S_EGCase I possesses a longer α7-helix and a shorter loop 4, which forms a larger substrate-binding pocket that could accommodate more extended oligosaccharides. In addition, loop 2 and loop 8 of the enzyme adopt a more open conformation, which also enlarges the oligosaccharide-binding cavity. Based on this knowledge, a rationally designed experiment was performed to examine the substrate specificity of EGCase II. The truncation of loop 4 in M777_EGCase II increased its activity toward GM1 (163%). Remarkably, the S63G mutant of M777_EGCase II showed a broader substrate spectra and significantly increased activity toward bulky substrates (up to >1370-fold for fucosyl-GM1). Collectively, the results presented here reveal the exquisite substrate recognition mechanism of EGCases and provide an opportunity for further engineering of these enzymes.

Altered gene expression of glycosyltransferases and sialyltransferases and total amount of glycosphingolipids following herpes simplex virus infection. Carbohydr Res 2016; 434:37-43.

Abstract
There is a case report of a patient with overlapping Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis after infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), who carried high titers of serum anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies. Several studies have linked viral infection to the modulation of ganglioside expression such as human T-lymphotropic virus to GD2 and simian virus 40 to GM3. Also, enhancement of the expression of GM2 on the cell membrane after cytomegalovirus infection has been reported. The objective of this study was to unveil the relationship between HSV-1 infection and the alteration of cellular ganglioside expression in neuronal and glial cell lines. In addition to these cell lines, several human tumor cell lines including astrocytoma cells, neuroblastoma cells, T-cell leukemia cells and kidney cells derived from normal human and monkey were infected with HSV-1 as well as HSV-2. To measure changes in ganglioside-related gene expressions and gangliosides levels in cells, quantitative PCR and glycosphingolipid-glycomic analysis were performed. Changes in gene expression of glycosyltransferases and sialyltransferases were observed in HSV-1- and HSV-2-infected cells, although with different trends. 39 glycosphingolipid-glycans were quantitatively analyzed. HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections resulted in changes in the total amount of gangliosides depending on the cell lines used and type of virus. Qualitative changes caused by each infection of HSV-1 and HSV-2 were almost negligible.

Abstract
The biological function of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) is largely determined by their glycan headgroup moiety. This has placed a renewed emphasis on detailed GSL headgroup structural analysis. Comprehensive profiling of GSL headgroups in biological samples requires the use of endoglycoceramidases with broad substrate specificity and a robust workflow that enables their high-throughput analysis. We present here the first high-throughput glyco-analytical platform for GSL headgroup profiling. The workflow features enzymatic release of GSL glycans with a novel broad-specificity endoglycoceramidase I (EGCase I) from Rhodococcus triatomea, selective glycan capture on hydrazide beads on a robotics platform, 2AB-fluorescent glycan labeling, and analysis by UPLC-HILIC-FLD. R. triatomea EGCase I displayed a wider specificity than known EGCases and was able to efficiently hydrolyze gangliosides, globosides, (n)Lc-type GSLs, and cerebrosides. Our workflow was validated on purified GSL standard lipids and was applied to the characterization of GSLs extracted from several mammalian cell lines and human serum. This study should facilitate the analytical workflow in functional glycomics studies and biomarker discovery.
