Systems analysis of plasma IgG intact N-glycopeptides from pa-tients with chronic kidney diseases via combined electron-transfer/higher-energy collisional dissociation and stepped colli-sion energy/higher-energy collisional dissociation mass spectrom-etry within half an hour

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules modulate an immune response. However, site-specific N-glycosylation signatures of plasma IgG in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. This study aimed to propose a novel method to explore the N-glycosylation pattern of IgG and to compare it with reported methods. We separated human plasma IgG from 58 healthy controls (HC) and 111 patients with CKD. Purified IgG molecules were digested by trypsin. Tryptic peptides with-out enrichment were analyzed using a combination of electron-transfer/higher-energy collisional dissociation (EThcD) and stepped collision energy/higher-energy collisional dissociation (sceHCD) mass spectrometry (EThcD-sceHCD-MS/MS). This resulted in higher spectral quality, more informative fragment ions, higher Byonic score, and nearly twice the depth of intact N-glycopeptide identification than sceHCD or EThcD alone. Site-specific N-glycosylation mapping revealed that intact N-glycopeptides were differentially expressed in HC and CKD patients; thus, it can be a diagnostic tool. This study provides a method for the determination of glycosylation patterns in CKD and a framework for understanding the role of IgG in the pathophysiology of CKD.
