PRM-MS Quantitative Analysis of Isomeric N-Glycopeptides Derived from Human Serum Haptoglobin of Patients with Cirrhosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Currently, surveillance strategies have inadequate performance for cirrhosis and early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The glycosylation of serum haptoglobin has shown to have significant differences between cirrhosis and HCC, thus can be used for diagnosis. We performed a comprehensive liquid chromatography-parallel reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (LC-PRM-MS) approach, where a targeted parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) strategy was coupled to a powerful LC system, to study the site-specific isomerism of haptoglobin (Hp) extracted from cirrhosis and HCC patients. We found that our strategy was able to identify a large number of isomeric N-glycopeptides, mainly located in the Hp glycosylation site Asn207. Four N-glycopeptides were found to have significant changes in abundance between cirrhosis and HCC samples (p < 0.05). Strategic combinations of the significant N-glycopeptides, either with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) or themselves, better estimate the areas under the curve (AUC) of their respective receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with respect to AFP. The combination of AFP with the isomeric sialylated fucosylated N-glycopeptides Asn207 + 5-6-1-2 and Asn207 + 5-6-1-3, resulted with an AUC value of 0.98, while the AUC value for AFP alone was 0.85. When comparing cirrhosis vs. early HCC, the isomeric N-glycopeptide Asn207 + 5-6-0-1 better estimated AUC with respect to AFP (AUC_AFP = 0.81, and AUC_Asn207 + 5-6-0-1 = 0.88, respectively).

Differential Quantitative Determination of Site-Specific Intact N-Glycopeptides in Serum Haptoglobin between Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Cirrhosis Using LC-EThcD-MS/MS.

Project description:Intact N-glycopeptide analysis remains challenging due to the complexity of glycopeptide structures, low abundance of glycopeptides in protein digests, and difficulties in data interpretation/quantitation. Herein, we developed a workflow that involved advanced methodologies, the EThcD-MS/MS fragmentation method and data interpretation software, for differential analysis of the microheterogeneity of site-specific intact N-glycopeptides of serum haptoglobin between early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis. Haptoglobin was immunopurified from 20 μL of serum in patients with early HCC, liver cirrhosis, and healthy controls, respectively, followed by trypsin/GluC digestion, glycopeptide enrichment, and LC-EThcD-MS/MS analysis. Identification and differential quantitation of site-specific N-glycopeptides were performed using a combination of Byonic and Byologic software. In total, 93, 87, and 68 site-specific N-glycopeptides were identified in early HCC, liver cirrhosis, and healthy controls, respectively, with high confidence. The increased variety of N-glycopeptides in liver diseases compared to healthy controls was due to increased branching with hyper-fucosylation and sialylation. Differential quantitation analysis showed that 5 site-specific N-glycopeptides on sites N184 and N241 were significantly elevated in early HCC compared to cirrhosis ( p < 0.05) and normal controls ( p ≤ 0.001). The result demonstrates that the workflow provides a strategy for detailed profiles of N-glycopeptides of patient samples as well as for relative quantitation to determine the level changes in site-specific N-glycopeptides between disease states.

LC-MS/MS isomeric profiling of permethylated N-glycans derived from serum haptoglobin of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhotic patients.

Project description:Early stage detection and cancer treatment demand the identification of reliable biomarkers. Over the past decades, efforts have been devoted to assess the variation of glycosylation level as well as the glycan structures of proteins in blood or serum, associated with the development and/or progression of several cancers, including liver. Herein, an LC-MS/MS-based analysis was conducted to define the glycosylation patterns of haptoglobin glycoprotein derived from sera collected from cirrhotic and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The haptoglobin samples were extracted from serum using an antibody-immobilized column prior to the release of N-glycans. A comparison of non-isomeric and isomeric permethylated glycan forms was achieved using C18 and porous graphitic carbon (PGC) columns, respectively. In the case of C18-LC-MS/MS analysis, 25 glycan structures were identified of which 10 sialylated structures were found to be statistically significant between the two cohorts. Also, 8 out of 34 glycan structures identified by PGC-LC-MS/MS were found to be statistically significant, suggesting that isomeric distributions of a particular glycan composition were different in abundances between the two cohorts. The glycan isoform patterns distinguished early stage HCC from cirrhotic patients. Both retention times and tandem mass spectra were utilized to determine the specific isomeric glycan structures. All of the glycan isomers, which were statistically significant, were either branch fucosylated or composed of α-2,6 linked sialic acid moieties. The result of this study demonstrates the potential importance of isomeric separation for defining disease prompted aberrant glycan changes. The levels of several glycan isoforms effectively distinguished early stage HCC from cirrhosis.

Isomeric Separation of N-Glycopeptides Derived from Glycoproteins by Porous Graphitic Carbon (PGC) LC-MS/MS.

Project description:Protein glycosylation is involved in many biological processes and physiological functions. Despite the recent advances in LC-MS/MS methodologies, the profiling of site-specific glycosylation is one of the major analytical challenges of glycoprotein analysis. Herein, we report that the separation of glycopeptide isomers on porous graphitic carbon (PGC)-LC was significantly improved by elevating the separation temperature under basic mobile phases. These findings permitted the isomeric separation of glycopeptides resulting from highly specific enzymatic digestions. The selectivity for different glycan types was studied using bovine fetuin, asialofetuin, IgG, ribonuclease B, and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) by PGC-LC-MS. Comprehensive structural isomeric separation of glycopeptides was observed by high-resolution MS and confirmed by MS/MS. The specific structures of the glycopeptide isomers were identified and confirmed through exoglycosidase digestions. Glycosylation analysis of human AGP revealed the potential use of PGC-LC-MS for extensive glycoprotein analysis for biomarker discovery. This newly developed separation technique was shown as a reproducible and useful analytical method to study site-specific isomeric glycosylation.

Discovery of Core-Fucosylated Glycopeptides as Diagnostic Biomarkers for Early HCC in Patients with NASH Cirrhosis Using LC-HCD-PRM-MS/MS.

Project description:Aberrant changes in site-specific core fucosylation (CF) of serum proteins contribute to cancer development and progression, which enables them as potential diagnostic markers of tumors. An optimized data-dependent acquisition (DDA) workflow involving isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation-labeling and enrichment of CF peptides by lens culinaris lectin was applied to identify CF of serum proteins in a test set of patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related cirrhosis (N = 16) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, N = 17), respectively. A total of 624 CF peptides from 343 proteins, with 683 CF sites, were identified in our DDA-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Subsequently, 19 candidate CF peptide markers were evaluated by a target parallel reaction-monitoring-MS workflow in a validation set of 58 patients, including NASH-related cirrhosis (N = 29), early-stage HCC (N = 21), and late-stage HCC (N = 8). Significant changes (p < 0.01) were observed in four CF peptides between cirrhosis and HCC, where peptide LGSFEGLVn160LTFIHLQHNR from LUM in combination with AFP showed the best diagnostic performance in discriminating HCC from cirrhosis, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.855 compared to AFP only (AUC = 0.717). This peptide in combination with AFP also significantly improved diagnostic performance in distinguishing early HCC from cirrhosis, with an AUC of 0.839 compared to AFP only (AUC = 0.689). Validation of this novel promising biomarker panel in larger cohorts should be performed.

Large Scale Screening and Quantitative Analysis of Site-Specific N-Glycopeptides from Human Serum in Early Alzheimer's Disease Using LC-HCD-PRM-MS.

Project description:Glycopeptide analysis by mass spectrometry may provide an important opportunity in discovery of biomarkers to aid in early detection of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In this work, we have used a NanoLC-Stepped-HCD-DDA-MS/MS platform and a NanoLC-Stepped-HCD-PRM-MS platform for large-scale screening and quantification of novel N-glycopeptide biomarkers for early detection of AD in patient serum. N-glycopeptides were retrieved from 10 μL of serum in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI, a prodromal phase of AD) and normal controls, respectively, after trypsin digestion, glycopeptide enrichment, fractionation, and NanoLC-Stepped-HCD-DDA-MS/MS or NanoLC-Stepped-HCD-PRM-MS analysis. Using a combination of Byonic, Byologic and Skyline softwares, we were able to accomplish both identification and label-free quantitation of site-specific N-glycopeptides between MCI and normal controls. Differential quantitation analysis by Byologic showed that 29 N-glycopeptides derived from 16 glycoproteins were significantly changed in MCI compared to normal controls. Further, HCD-PRM-MS quantitative analysis of the selected N-glycopeptide candidates confirmed that EHEGAIYPDN138TTDFQR_HexNAc(4)Hex(5)-Fuc(2)NeuAc(1) from CERU, and VCQDCPLLAPLN156DTR_HexNAc(4)Hex(5)NeuAc(2) from AHSG can significantly discriminate MCI from normal controls. These two glycopeptides had the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.850 (95% CI, 0.66-1.0) and 0.867 (95% CI, 0.68-1.0), respectively (p<0.05). The result demonstrates that changes in the expression level of the N-glycopeptides provide potential serum biomarkers for detection of AD at a very early stage.

Quantification of Intact O-Glycopeptides on Haptoglobin in Sera of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Liver Cirrhosis.

Project description:Haptoglobin (Hp) is one of the acute-phase response proteins secreted by the liver, and its aberrant N-glycosylation was previously reported in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Limited studies on Hp O-glycosylation have been previously reported. In this study, we aimed to discover and confirm its O-glycosylation in HCC based on lectin binding and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. First, serum Hp was purified from patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and HCC, respectively. Then, five lectins with Gal or GalNAc monosaccharide specificity were chosen to perform lectin blot, and the results showed that Hp in HCC bound to these lectins in a much stronger manner than that in LC. Furthermore, label-free quantification based on MS was performed. A total of 26 intact O-glycopeptides were identified on Hp, and most of them were elevated in HCC as compared to LC. Among them, the intensity of HYEGS 316TVPEK (H1N1S1) on Hp was the highest in HCC patients. Increased HYEGS 316TVPEK (H1N1S1) in HCC was quantified and confirmed using the MS method based on 18O/16O C-terminal labeling and multiple reaction monitoring. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the glycosylation of Hp in liver diseases.

ESI-LC-MS Method for Haptoglobin Fucosylation Analysis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Liver Cirrhosis.

Project description:A method for the detection of fucosylated glycans from haptoglobin in patient serum has been developed that provides enhanced sensitivity. The workflow involves isolation of the haptoglobin using an HPLC-based affinity column followed by glycan removal, extraction, and desialylation. The fucosylated glycans are then derivatized by Meladrazine, which significantly enhances the detection of the glycans in electrospray ionization. The separation of the derivatized glycans in a HILIC column shows that eight glycans from haptoglobin can be detected using less than 1 μL of a serum sample, with excellent reproducibility and quantitation, where without derivatization the glycans could not be detected. The ratio of the fucosylated peaks to their corresponding nonfucosylated forms shows that the fucosylated glycans are upregulated in the case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples versus cirrhosis samples, where the relatively low abundance bifucosylated tetra-antennary form can be detected and may be a particularly good marker for HCC.

Analysis of serum haptoglobin fucosylation in hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis of different etiologies.

Project description:We have developed herein a quantitative mass spectrometry-based approach to analyze the etiology-related alterations in fucosylation degree of serum haptoglobin in patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The three most common etiologies, including infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV), and heavy alcohol consumption (ALC), were investigated. Only 10 ?L of serum was used in this assay in which haptoglobin was immunoprecipitated using a monoclonal antibody. The N-glycans of haptoglobin were released with PNGase F, desialylated, and permethylated prior to MALDI-QIT-TOF MS analysis. In total, N-glycan profiles derived from 104 individual patient samples were quantified (14 healthy controls, 40 cirrhosis, and 50 HCCs). A unique pattern of bifucosylated tetra-antennary glycan, with both core and antennary fucosylation, was identified in HCC patients. Quantitative analysis indicated that the increased fucosylation degree was highly associated with HBV- and ALC-related HCC patients compared to that of the corresponding cirrhosis patients. Notably, the bifucosylation degree was distinctly increased in HCC patients versus that in cirrhosis of all etiologies. The elevated bifucosylation degree of haptoglobin can discriminate early stage HCC patients from cirrhosis in each etiologic category, which may be used to provide a potential marker for early detection and to predict HCC in patients with cirrhosis.
