N-glycoproteome analysis of the secretome of human metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines combining hydrazide chemistry, HILIC enrichment and mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Cancer cell metastasis is a major cause of cancer death. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown, which results in the lack of efficient diagnosis, therapy and prevention approaches. Nevertheless, the dysregulation of the cancer cell secretome is known to play key roles in tumor transformation and progression. The majority of proteins in the secretome are secretory proteins and membrane-released proteins, and, mostly, the glycosylated proteins. Until recently, few studies have explored protein N-glycosylation changes in the secretome, although protein glycosylation has received increasing attention in the study of tumor development processes. Here, the N-glycoproteins in the secretome of two human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines with low (MHCC97L) or high (HCCLM3) metastatic potential were investigated with a in-depth characterization of the N-glycosites by combining two general glycopeptide enrichment approaches, hydrazide chemistry and zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction chromatography (zic-HILIC), with mass spectrometry analysis. A total of 1,213 unique N-glycosites from 611 N-glycoproteins were confidently identified. These N-glycoproteins were primarily localized to the extracellular space and plasma membrane, supporting the important role of N-glycosylation in the secretory pathway. Coupling label-free quantification with a hierarchical clustering strategy, we determined the differential regulation of several N-glycoproteins that are related to metastasis, among which AFP, DKK1, FN1, CD151 and TGF?2 were up-regulated in HCCLM3 cells. The inclusion of the well-known metastasis-related proteins AFP and DKK1 in this list provides solid supports for our study. Further western blotting experiments detecting FN1 and FAT1 confirmed our discovery. The glycoproteome strategy in this study provides an effective means to explore potential cancer biomarkers.

Project description:Glycosylation is one of the most common and important protein modifications in biological systems. Many glycoproteins naturally occur at low abundances, which makes comprehensive analysis extremely difficult. Additionally, glycans are highly heterogeneous, which further complicates analysis in complex samples. Lectin enrichment has been commonly used, but each lectin is inherently specific to one or several carbohydrates, and thus no single or collection of lectin(s) can bind to all glycans. Here we have employed a boronic acid-based chemical method to universally enrich glycopeptides. The reaction between boronic acids and sugars has been extensively investigated, and it is well known that the interaction between boronic acid and diols is one of the strongest reversible covalent bond interactions in an aqueous environment. This strong covalent interaction provides a great opportunity to catch glycopeptides and glycoproteins by boronic acid, whereas the reversible property allows their release without side effects. More importantly, the boronic acid-diol recognition is universal, which provides great capability and potential for comprehensively mapping glycosylation sites in complex biological samples. By combining boronic acid enrichment with PNGase F treatment in heavy-oxygen water and MS, we have identified 816 N-glycosylation sites in 332 yeast proteins, among which 675 sites were well-localized with greater than 99% confidence. The results demonstrated that the boronic acid-based chemical method can effectively enrich glycopeptides for comprehensive analysis of protein glycosylation. A general trend seen within the large data set was that there were fewer glycosylation sites toward the C termini of proteins. Of the 332 glycoproteins identified in yeast, 194 were membrane proteins. Many proteins get glycosylated in the high-mannose N-glycan biosynthetic and GPI anchor biosynthetic pathways. Compared with lectin enrichment, the current method is more cost-efficient, generic, and effective. This method can be extensively applied to different complex samples for the comprehensive analysis of protein glycosylation.

Project description:HILIC (hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography) materials enrich glycopeptides. The non-specific interactions because of support material and inadequate hydrophilicity render loss of less abundant glycopeptides in SPE-based enrichments. In this work, magnetic terpolymer (Fe3O4@MAA/DVB/1,2-Epoxy-5-hexene) is functionalized with Ranachrome-5 to generate enhanced hydrophilicity. Amine, carboxylic, and amide groups of ranachrome-5 provide zwitterionic chemistry. Material's magnetic core contributes to ease of operation while higher surface area 97.0711 m2 g-1 immobilizes better quantities of Ranachrome-5. Homogeneous morphology, nano-size, and super hydrophilicity enhance enrichment. Ranachrome-5 functionalized polymeric core-shell beads enrich 25, 18 and 16 N-linked glycopeptides via SPE strategy from tryptic digests of model glycoproteins i.e., immunoglobulin G (IgG), horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and chicken avidin, respectively. Zwitterionic chemistry of ranachrome-5 helps in achieving higher selectivity (1:250, HRP / Bovine Serum Albumin), and lower detection limit (100 attomole, HRP digest) with complete glycosylation profile of each standard digest. High binding capacity (137.1 mg/g) and reuse of affinity material up to seven cycles reduce the cost and amount of affinity material for complex sample analysis. A recovery of 91.76% and relative standard deviation (RSD) values less than 1 define the application of HILIC beads for complex samples like plasma. 508 N-linked intact low abundant glycopeptides corresponding to 50 glycoproteins are identified from depleted human plasma samples via nano-Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS). Using Single Nucleotide Variances (BioMuta) for low abundant plasma glycoproteins, the potential association of proteins to four cancers, i.e., breast, lung, uterine, and melanoma is evaluated. Via the bottom-up approach, HILIC beads can analyze clinically important low-abundant glycoproteins.
