Published: February 2025
In this mini review, we provide an overview of the challenging field of spatial glycomics/glycoproteomics. Owing to their complexity, sophisticated analytical methods and innovative technologies are needed to advance this field. An agile development approach enables unraveling aberrant glycosylations, glycobiomarkers, and glycotargets for spatial imaging, diagnosis, and therapeutic purposes. We discuss glycopathology and tissue glycomic profiling using highly sensitive lectin-based analyses and introduce deep visual proteomics for glycomic/glycoproteomic sample preparation. Additionally, we highlight the importance of leveraging laser microdissection and artificial intelligence-driven visual software for cell-type assignment and automation techniques, which are crucial for advancing glycomics/glycoproteomics.

We compared matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) spatial -glycomics data sets from Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) and orthogonal accelerated time-of-flight (timsTOF) mass spectrometers of FFPE preserved human kidney samples. We also tested different tissue section thicknesses. In these analyses, we assessed the impact of the mass analyzer and tissue section thickness on -glycan coverage, sensitivity, and histological alignment.

This study explored the complex interactions between glycosylation patterns, tumour biology, and therapeutic responses to temozolomide (TMZ) in human malignant glioma, specifically CNS WHO grade 3 oligodendroglioma (ODG) and glioblastoma (GB). Using spatial imaging of N-glycans in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections via MALDI-MSI, we analysed the N-glycome in primary and recurrent GB tissues and orthotopic xenografts of patient-derived brain tumour-initiating cells (BTIC) sensitive or resistant to TMZ. We identified unique N-glycosylation profiles, with nontumor brain (NTB) and ODG showing higher levels of bisecting and tri-antennary structures, while GB exhibited more tetra-antennary and sialylated N-glycans.

The intricate interactions between the host immune system and its microbiome constituents undergo dynamic shifts in response to perturbations to the intestinal tissue environment. Our ability to study these events on the systems level is significantly limited by in situ approaches capable of generating simultaneous insights from both host and microbial communities. Here, we introduce Microbiome Cartography (MicroCart), a framework for simultaneous in situ probing of host and microbiome across multiple spatial modalities.

Enzyme immobilization is indispensable for enhancing enzyme performance in various industrial applications. Typically, enzymes require specific spatial arrangements for optimal functionality, underscoring the importance of correct orientation. Despite well-known N- or C-terminus tailoring techniques, alternatives for achieving orientation control are limited.
