Area of Science:

  • Carbohydrate Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is crucial for glycan analysis.
  • Sialic acid moiety cleavage during MALDI-MS complicates the analysis of sialylated glycans.
  • Existing chemical derivatization methods aim to stabilize sialylated glycans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, robust derivatization method for stabilizing sialic acids in glycan analysis.
  • To improve the accuracy and sensitivity of glycan profiling using MALDI-MS.
  • To enable simultaneous analysis of various sialylated glycans regardless of linkage type.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a solid-phase conjugation method for proteins to stabilize sialic acids via methylamidation.
  • Applied the method to investigate N-glycans from fetuin.
  • Utilized the method for N-glycan profiling of human serum samples.

Main Results:

  • The novel solid-phase methylamidation method effectively stabilized sialic acids, reducing sample loss and contamination.
  • Successful N-glycan profiling of fetuin and human serum was achieved.
  • Results from the developed method were consistent with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detection.

Conclusions:

  • The developed solid-phase methylamidation strategy offers a sensitive, simple, and robust approach for glycan structure profiling.
  • This method enhances the determination of sialylated glycans by MALDI-MS.
  • It is applicable to complex biological samples like glycoproteins and serum.
