    Abstract Introduction: Glycans attached to immunoglobulin G are an important regulator of chronic systemic inflammation, one of the key drivers of aging. As people age, glycans that suppress inflammation are being replaced with inflammation-promoting glycans, but the rate of this conversion is highly individual and is affected by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.
    Areas covered: This review summarizes key studies of IgG glycosylation changes in aging and disease, effects of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, and mechanisms that regulate IgG glycosylation.
    Expert opinion: IgG glycome is an important contributor to the process of aging that can be modulated by both lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Small molecule drugs that would suppress chronic systemic inflammation by modulation of the IgG glycome are still not available, but since gene network regulating IgG glycosylation has been identified and a high-throughput

    Abstract The attachment of carbohydrates to other macromolecules, such as proteins or lipids, is an important regulatory mechanism termed glycosylation. One subtype of protein glycosylation is asparagine-linked glycosylation (N-glycosylation) which plays a key role in the development and normal functioning of the vertebrate brain. To better understand the role of N-glycans in neurobiology, it's imperative we analyse not only the functional roles of individual structures, but also the collective impact of large-scale changes in the brain N-glycome. The systematic study of the brain N-glycome is still in its infancy and data are relatively scarce. Nevertheless, the prevailing view has been that the neuroglycome is inherently restricted with limited capacity for variation. The development of improved methods for N-glycomics analysis of brain tissue has facilitated comprehensive characterisation of the complete brain N-glycome under various experimental conditions on a larger scale. Consequently, accumulating data suggest that it's more dynamic than previously recognised and that, within a general framework, it has a given capacity to change in response to both intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. Here, we provide an overview of the many factors that can alter the brain N-glycome, including neurodevelopment, ageing, diet, stress, neuroinflammation, injury, and disease. Given this emerging evidence, we propose that the neuroglycome has a hitherto underappreciated plasticity and we discuss the therapeutic implications of this regarding the possible reversal of pathological changes via interventions. We also briefly review the merits and limitations of N-glycomics as an analytical method before reflecting on some of the outstanding questions in the field.

    Abstract Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant antibody in the blood and plays a critical role in host immune defense against infectious agents. Glycosylation is known to modulate the effector functions of IgG and is involved in disease development and progression. It is no surprise that the N-glycome of IgG from plasma has already been proposed as a biomarker for various physiological and pathological conditions. However, because saliva is easy to collect, it could be useful for exploring the functional role of salivary IgG N-glycosylation and its potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Therefore, in this study, we described a method for N-glycome analysis of IgG from saliva samples. Salivary IgG N-glycans were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography based on hydrophilic interactions with fluorescence detection (HILIC-UHPLC-FLR). In addition, we compared IgG N-glycan profiles from saliva with those from plasma, assessed the stability of salivary IgG N-glycan profiles under different storage conditions, and evaluated the effects of using a saliva preservation medium. This study provides an ultrasensitive UHPLC method for the analysis of total IgG N-glycosylation from saliva, gives insight into storage stability of salivary IgG, and highlights its (dis)advantages for further biomarker-related research.

    Abstract Human serum alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) is an acute-phase plasma protein involved in the binding and transport of many drugs, especially basic and lipophilic substances. The sialic acid groups that terminate the N-glycan chains of AAG have been reported to change in response to numerous health conditions and may have an impact on the binding of drugs to AAG. In this study, we quantified the binding between native and desialylated AAG and seven drugs from different pharmacotherapeutic groups (carvedilol, diltiazem, dipyridamole, imipramine, lidocaine, propranolol, vinblastine) using microscale thermophoresis (MST). This method was chosen due to its robustness and high sensitivity, allowing precise quantification of molecular interactions based on the thermophoretic movement of fluorescent molecules. Detailed glycan analysis of native and desialylated AAG showed over 98% reduction in sialic acid content for the enzymatically desialylated AAG. The MST results indicate that desialylation generally alters the binding affinity between AAG and drugs, leading to either an increase or decrease in

    Abstract This study examines the intricate relationship between protein glycosylation dynamics and therapeutic responses in Luminal A and Luminal B breast cancer subtypes, focusing on anastrozole and tamoxifen impacts. The present methods inadequately monitor and forecast patient reactions to these treatments, leaving individuals vulnerable to the potential adverse effects of these medications. This research investigated glycan structural changes by following patients for up to 9 months. The protocol involved a series of automated steps including IgG isolation, protein denaturation, glycan labelling, purification, and final analysis using capillary gel electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence. The results suggested the significant role of glycan modifications in breast cancer progression, revealing distinctive trends in how anastrozole and tamoxifen elicit varied responses. The findings indicate anastrozole's association with reduced sialylation and increased core fucosylation, while tamoxifen correlated with increased sialylation and decreased core fucosylation. These observations suggest potential immunomodulatory effects: anastrozole possibly reducing inflammation and tamoxifen impacting immune-mediated cytotoxicity. This study strongly emphasizes the importance of considering specific glycan traits to comprehend the dynamic mechanisms driving breast cancer progression and the effects of targeted therapies. The nuanced differences observed in glycan modifications between these two treatments underscore the necessity for further comprehensive research aimed at thoroughly evaluating the long-term implications and therapeutic efficacy for breast cancer patients.
