Translational Psychiatry, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Май 8, 2023

Abstract Glycosylation, the addition of glycans or carbohydrates to proteins, lipids, other glycans, is a complex post-translational modification that plays crucial role in cellular function. It estimated at least half all mammalian proteins undergo glycosylation, underscoring its importance functioning cells. This reflected fact significant portion human genome, around 2%, devoted encoding enzymes involved glycosylation. Changes glycosylation have been linked various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. Despite widespread occurrence, central nervous system remains largely unknown, particularly with regard impact on behavioral abnormalities brain diseases. review focuses examining three types glycosylation: N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, manifestation symptoms neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric disorders.

An N-glycome tissue atlas of 15 human normal and cancer tissue types determined by MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 4, 2024

Abstract N- glycosylation is an abundant post-translational modification of most cell-surface proteins. glycans play a crucial role in cellular functions like protein folding, localization, cell–cell signaling, and immune detection. As different tissue types display glycan profiles, changes compositions occur tissue-specific ways with development disease, cancer. However, no comparative atlas resource exists for documenting glycome alterations across various human types, particularly comparing normal cancerous tissues. In order to study broad range N -glycomes, -glycan targeted MALDI imaging mass spectrometry was applied custom formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded microarrays. These encompassed fifteen including bladder, breast, cervix, colon, esophagus, gastric, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, prostate, sarcoma, skin, thyroid, uterus. Each array contained both tumor cores from the same pathology block, selected by pathologist, allowing more in-depth comparisons differences between types. Using established MALDI-IMS workflows existing databases, present each core were spatially profiled peak intensity data compiled analyses. Further structural information determined fucosylation using endoglycosidase F3, differentiation sialic acid linkages through stabilization chemistry. Glycan compared oligomannose levels, branching complexity, presence bisecting acetylglucosamine, fucosylation, sialylation. Collectively, our research identified that significantly increased and/or decreased relative abundance cancer type. This offers valuable on wide scale tissues, serving as reference future studies potential diagnostic applications MALDI-IMS.

We have identified 200 congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) caused by 189 different gene defects and proposed a classification system for CDG based on the mode action. This includes 8 categories: 1. Disorders monosaccharide synthesis interconversion, 2. nucleotide sugar transport, 3. N-linked protein glycosylation, 4. O-linked 5. lipid 6. vesicular trafficking, 7. multiple pathways 8. glycoprotein/glycan degradation. Additionally, using information from IEMbase, we described clinical involvement 19 organs systems, as well essential laboratory investigations each type CDG. Neurological, dysmorphic, skeletal, ocular manifestations were most prevalent, occurring in 81%, 56%, 53%, 46% CDG, respectively. was followed digestive, cardiovascular, dermatological, endocrine, hematological symptoms (17-34%).

Spatial metabolomics reveals glycogen as an actionable target for pulmonary fibrosis

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Май 13, 2023

Abstract Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging has greatly improved our understanding of spatial biology, however a robust bioinformatic pipeline for data analysis is lacking. Here, we demonstrate the application high-dimensionality reduction/spatial clustering and histopathological annotation matrix datasets to assess tissue metabolic heterogeneity in human lung diseases. Using features identified from this pipeline, hypothesize that channeling between glycogen N-linked glycans critical process favoring pulmonary fibrosis progression. To test hypothesis, induced two different mouse models with lysosomal utilization deficiency. Both displayed blunted glycan levels nearly 90% reduction endpoint when compared WT animals. Collectively, provide conclusive evidence required In summary, study provides roadmap leverage metabolomics understand foundational biology

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, transparent derived from blood plasma that protects the brain and spinal cord against mechanical shock, provides buoyancy, clears metabolic waste transports extracellular components to remote sites in brain. Given its contact with cord, CSF most informative biofluid for studies of central nervous system (CNS). In addition other components, contains vesicles (EVs) carry bioactive cargoes (e.g., lipids, nucleic acids, proteins), can have biological functions within beyond CNS. Thus, EVs likely serve as both mediators contributors communication Accordingly, their potential biomarkers CNS diseases has stimulated much excitement attention EV research. However, on present unique challenges relative biofluids, including invasive nature collection, limited volumes low numbers compared plasma.
