AI Article Synopsis

  • The study enhanced glycome profiling in cancer by using a new lectin-assisted fractionation technique.
  • Analysis of tissue samples from 45 colorectal cancer patients showed that certain glycoproteins (unfucosylated/α2,6-sialylated) were more prevalent in patients with poorer outcomes.
  • This research provides crucial insights that could help in discovering glyco-biomarkers related to cancer.

Article Abstract

To survey the glycome shift in cancer, single-dot tissue glycome profiling was improved by incorporating a lectin-assisted fractionation. The differential analysis of tissue specimens from colorectal cancer patients (n = 45) revealed that unfucosylated/α2,6-sialylated glycoproteins significantly increased in patients with poor prognoses. The detailed annotation will be an indispensable supplement for cancer-related glyco-biomarker discovery.
