| Abstract: | Background Alterations in protein glycosylation patterns have potentially been targeted for biomarker discovery in a wide range of diseases including cancer. Although there have been improvements in patient diagnosis and survival for breast cancer (BC), there is no clinically validated serum biomarker for its early diagnosis. Here, we profiled whole serum and purified Immunoglobulin G (IgG) fraction N-glycome towards identification of non-invasive glycan markers of BC.MethodsWe employed a comprehensive glycomics approach by integrating glycoblotting-based glycan purification with MALDI-TOF/MS based quantitative analysis. Sera of BC patients belonging to stages I-IV and normal controls (NC) were collected from Ethiopian women during 2015-2016. IgG was purified by affinity chromatography using protein G spin plate and further subjected to glycoblotting for glycan release. Mass spectral data were further processed and evaluated rigorously, using various bioinformatics and statistical tools.ResultsOut of 35N-glycans that were significantly up-regulated in the sera of all BC patients compared to the NC, 17 complex type N-glycans showed profound expression abundance and diagnostic potential (AUC=0.8-1) for the early stage (I and II) BC patients. Most of these glycans were core-fucosylated, multiply branched and sialylated structures, whose abundance has been strongly associated with greater invasive and metastatic potential of cancer. N-glycans quantified form IgG confirmed their abundance in BC patients, of which two core-fucosylated and agalactosylated glycans (m/z 1591, 1794) could specifically distinguish (AUC=0.944 and 0.921, p0.001) stage II patients from NC. Abundance of such structural features in IgG is associated with a decrease in its immunosuppressive potential towards tumor cells, which in part may correlate with the aggressive nature of BC commonly noticed in black population.ConclusionsOur comprehensive study has addressed for the first time both whole serum and IgG N-glycosylation signatures of native black women suffering from BC and revealed novel glyco-biomarkers with marked overexpression and distinguishing ability at early stage patients. Further studies on direct identification of the intact glycoproteins using a glycoprteomics approach will provide a deeper understanding of specific biomarkers towards their clinical utility. |
