Effects of statins on the immunoglobulin G glycome.

ABSTRACT: Statins are among the most widely prescribed medications worldwide and usually many individuals involved in clinical and population studies are on statin therapy. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation has been associated with numerous cardiometabolic risk factors.The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association of statin use with N-glycosylation of IgG. The association was analyzed in two large population cohorts (TwinsUK and KORA) using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC-UPLC) in the TwinsUK cohort and reverse phase liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) in the KORA cohort. Afterwards we investigated the same association for only one statin (rosuvastatin) in a subset of individuals from the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled JUPITER study using LC-ESI-MS for IgG glycome and HILIC-UPLC for total plasma N-glycome.In the TwinsUK population, the use of statins was associated with higher levels of core-fucosylated biantennary glycan structure with bisecting N-acetylglucosamine (FA2B) and lower levels of core-fucosylated biantennary digalactosylated monosialylated glycan structure (FA2G2S1). The association between statin use and FA2B was replicated in the KORA cohort. In the JUPITER trial we found no statistically significant differences between the randomly allocated placebo and rosuvastatin groups.In the TwinsUK and KORA cohorts, statin use was associated with a small increase of pro-inflammatory IgG glycan, although this finding was not confirmed in a subset of participants from the JUPITER trial.Even if the association between IgG N-glycome and statins exists, it is not large enough to pose a problem for glycomic studies.

Project description:Background: Peritoneal metastasis, associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer, is difficult to discriminate from advanced gastric cancer preoperatively. However, operative diagnosis could bring both mental and physical trauma and economic burden for patients. Consequently, a non-invasive biomarker is necessary to reduce the burden of operative diagnosis and improve survival quality of patients. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between Immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycome and peritoneal metastasis and find potential biomarkers in preoperative discrimination of peritoneal metastasis from advanced gastric cancer based on the comprehensive sample set. Methods: A total of 373 gastric cancer patients were enrolled and randomly sorted into training cohort (n=249) and validation cohort (n=124). The IgG N-glycome composition was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Results: Twenty-four glycan peaks were directly detected and 15 traits based on the same structures were evaluated between peritoneal metastasis group and advanced gastric cancer group. Several differences in IgG glycosylation were found: sialylation and fucosylation were increased in peritoneal metastasis, while neutral glycosylation, monogalacosylation and bisecting GlcNAc were decreased. Based on the significant glycomics profile, a glyco-model composed of five glycan peaks (GP6, GP9, GP11, GP21 and GP23) was established with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.80 (training cohort) and 0.77 (validation cohort), which showed good potential in discriminating peritoneal metastasis from advanced gastric cancer. The diagnostic performance of this model was further validated in a combined cohort (AUC=0.79). Two patients with gastric cancer were selected to perform and demonstrate the usage of the diagnostic workflow. Conclusions: Here we firstly present IgG glycome profiles in a large number of preoperative peritoneal metastasis serums. The IgG glycan was highly associated with peritoneal metastasis. These findings enhance the understanding of peritoneal metastasis. Besides, our results suggested that the newly established glyco-model could be a reliable predictor of the presence of peritoneal metastasis in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundAlterations in protein glycosylation patterns have potentially been targeted for biomarker discovery in a wide range of diseases including cancer. Although there have been improvements in patient diagnosis and survival for breast cancer (BC), there is no clinically validated serum biomarker for its early diagnosis. Here, we profiled whole serum and purified Immunoglobulin G (IgG) fraction N-glycome towards identification of non-invasive glycan markers of BC.MethodsWe employed a comprehensive glycomics approach by integrating glycoblotting-based glycan purification with MALDI-TOF/MS based quantitative analysis. Sera of BC patients belonging to stages I-IV and normal controls (NC) were collected from Ethiopian women during 2015-2016. IgG was purified by affinity chromatography using protein G spin plate and further subjected to glycoblotting for glycan release. Mass spectral data were further processed and evaluated rigorously, using various bioinformatics and statistical tools.ResultsOut of 35?N-glycans that were significantly up-regulated in the sera of all BC patients compared to the NC, 17 complex type N-glycans showed profound expression abundance and diagnostic potential (AUC?=?0.8-1) for the early stage (I and II) BC patients. Most of these glycans were core-fucosylated, multiply branched and sialylated structures, whose abundance has been strongly associated with greater invasive and metastatic potential of cancer. N-glycans quantified form IgG confirmed their abundance in BC patients, of which two core-fucosylated and agalactosylated glycans (m/z 1591, 1794) could specifically distinguish (AUC?=?0.944 and 0.921, p???0.001) stage II patients from NC. Abundance of such structural features in IgG is associated with a decrease in its immunosuppressive potential towards tumor cells, which in part may correlate with the aggressive nature of BC commonly noticed in black population.ConclusionsOur comprehensive study has addressed for the first time both whole serum and IgG N-glycosylation signatures of native black women suffering from BC and revealed novel glyco-biomarkers with marked overexpression and distinguishing ability at early stage patients. Further studies on direct identification of the intact glycoproteins using a glycoprteomics approach will provide a deeper understanding of specific biomarkers towards their clinical utility.
