N-glycan profiling of Pseudomyxoma peritonei

ABSTRACT: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a subtype of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix, We compared N-linked glycan profiles of PMP tissues to those of normal appendix. N-glycosidase F liberated N-glycan profiles of eight normal appendix samples and eight low-grade and eight high-grade PMP specimens were analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The most prominent alteration was increased and complex fucosylation in high-grade carcinoma.

Project description:Alterations in glycosylation are seen in many types of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is known to display glycosylation alterations. Glycans, the sugar moieties of glycoconjugates, are involved in many important functions relevant to cancer, such as cell signaling and adhesion, and may can be of value as biomarkers. In this study, we have used mass spectrometry to analyze the N-glycan profiles of 35 CRC tissue samples from patients with tumors in the right or left colon and 10 healthy tissue samples from non-CRC patients who underwent operations for other reasons. The tumor samples were divided into groups depending on tumor location (right or left colon) and stage (II or III), while the healthy samples were divided into right or left side of the colon. The levels of neutral and acidic N-glycan compositions and glycan classes were analyzed in a total of ten different groups. Surprisingly, there were no significant differences in glycan levels when all right- and left-sided CRC samples were compared, and few differences (such as in the abundance of the neutral N-glycan H3N5) were seen when the samples were divided according to both location and stage. Multiple significant differences were found in the levels of glycans and glycan classes when stage II and III samples were compared, and these glycans could be of value as candidates for new markers of cancer progression. In order to validate our findings, we analyzed healthy tissue samples from the right and left colon and found no significant differences in the levels of any of the glycans analyzed, confirming that our findings when comparing CRC samples from the right and left colon are not due to normal variations in the levels of glycans between the healthy right and left colon. Additionally, the levels of the acidic glycans H4N3F1P1, H5N4F1P1, and S1H5N4F1 were found to change in a cancer-specific but colon location-nonspecific manner, indicating that CRC affects glycan levels in similar ways, regardless of tumor location.

Project description:This is the glycopeptide part of the above project. Purpose: No blood-based biomarkers to detect OPSCC early before symptoms develop or before clinically visible. Diagnosis is solely based on histology of a visible tumour. Most OPSCC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, which leads to significant morbidity and poor survival. If high-risk patients were identified with blood-based biomarkers before clear clinical manifestations, tumours could be detected and treated at an earlier stage. Causes of OPSCC include smoking, alcohol misuse, and human papillomavirus (HPV). Tumours are separated according to WHO recommendations into HPV+ OPSCC and HPV- OPSCC using the proxy histological marker p16. We additionally separated our patients into these groups to determine whether the serum glycopeptides would differ between HPV+ and HPV- tumours, as these are distinct clinical entities. Patients and Methods: Pre-treatment sera from 74 patients with OPSCC (including 26 p16- tumours and 48 p16+ tumours) and 12 controls were used, collected between the years 2012 and 2015 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland. Samples were grouped as follows: early stage p16+ OPSCC (stage I only), early stage p16- OPSCC (stage I-II), p16+ (any stage), p16- (any stage), controls. In-parallel quantitative bulk serum proteomics and serum glycopeptidomics were performed. Results: We identified 78 bulk proteins in the serum, of which 33 significantly differed between early-stage p16- OPSCC and controls, 22 between early-stage p16+ OPSCC and controls, 1 between early-stage p16+ and early-stage p16- OPSCCs, and 30 between all p16+ and p16- OPSCCs. We identified glycopeptides from proteins including but not limited to alpha-1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and Immunoglobulin heavy constant alpha 1, and compared these with the protein expression levels in each comparison. Conclusions: We have identified novel serum glycopeptide biomarkers detect early-stage OPSCCs, to be evaluated further as a diagnostic panel to detect preclinical OPSCC in at-risk patients.
