Article Abstract

A facile online method coupling polymer monolithic microextraction (PMME) with mass spectrometry (MS) was developed for the detection of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) galactosylation glycopeptides. A peanut agglutinin-β-cyclodextrin (PNA-β-CD) functionalized poly(hydroxyethyl methylacrylate-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) monolith was designed via a click reaction. Thanking to the specificity of PNA-β-CD for the targets, the material exhibited enhanced enrichment selectivity and extraction efficiency for IgG galactosylation glycopeptides. Under optimal conditions, the developed method gave a linear range of 0.005-5 pmol for IgG glycopeptides with the regression coefficient greater than 0.9990, and the detection limit of IgG galactosylation glycopeptides as low as 0.5 fmol was achieved. The PMME-MS method was applied to IgG galactosylation glycopeptides in real samples including human serum and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cell lysate. A series of unique IgG galactosylation glycopeptides were captured by the monolith in the complex samples, indicating satisfactory enrichment ability for IgG galactosylation glycopeptides. The quick and integrated online PMME-MS method exhibited high selectivity for IgG galactosylation, demonstrating its perspectives on the development and broad applications of MS in studying galactosylation proteins regulated biological processes.

Parasitic infections during pregnancy in Gabon affect glycosylation patterns of maternal and child antibodies.

Antibody glycosylation patterns can affect antibody functionality and thereby contribute to protection against invading pathogens. During pregnancy, maternal antibodies can be transferred through the placenta and contribute to modulating both the mother's and her child's immune responses. Although several studies of IgG glycosylation during pregnancy have been carried out, very few cohorts studied were from sub-Saharan Africa, where exposure to microorganisms and parasites is high.

Background/objective: In a subset of participants from the CALERIE Phase 2 study we evaluated the effects of 2y of ~25% Calorie Restriction (CR) diet on IgG N-glycosylation (GlycAge), plasma and complement C3 N-glycome as markers of aging and inflammaging.

Methods: Plasma samples from 26 participants in the CR group who completed the CALERIE2 trial and were deemed adherent to the intervention (~>10 % CR at 12 mo) were obtained from the NIA AgingResearchBiobank. Glycomic investigations using UPLC or LC-MS analyses were conducted on samples from baseline (BL), mid-intervention (12 mo) and post-intervention (24 mo), and changes resulting from the 2y CR intervention were examined.

Human IgG Subclasses Differ in the Structural Elements of Their -Glycosylation.

Although immunoglobulin G (IgG) harbors just one -glycosylation site per heavy chain, this glycosylation plays a key role in modulating its function. In human serum, IgG is classified into four subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), each characterized by unique features in their sequences, disulfide bridges and glycosylation signatures. While protein glycosylation is typically studied at the compositional level, this severely underestimates the complexity of the molecules involved.

β1,4-galactosylation is a typical human N-glycan formation with functional impact on proteins, particularly known for IgGs. Therefore, the expression of recombinant proteins with controlled galactosylation is an important quality parameter in the biotech industry. Here we describe the establishment of a plant-based expression platform for the manufacturing of recombinant proteins carrying β1,4-galactosylated N-glycans.

Culture conditions have a profound impact on therapeutic protein production and glycosylation, a critical therapeutic-quality attribute, especially for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). While the critical culture parameter of pH has been known since the early 1990s to affect protein glycosylation and production, detailed glycan and metabolic characterization and mechanistic understanding are critically lacking. Here, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were grown in bioreactors at pH 6.
