    Abstract N-glycolylated carbohydrates are amino sugars with an N-glycolyl amide group. These glycans have not been well studied due to their surprising rarity in nature in comparison with N-acetylated carbohydrates. Recently, however, there has been increasing interest in N-glycolylated sugars because the non-human sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), apparently the only source of all N-glycolylated sugars in deuterostomes, appears to be involved in xenosialitis (inflammation associated with consumption of Neu5Gc-rich red meats). Xenosialitis has been implicated in cancers as well as other diseases including atherosclerosis. Furthermore, metabolites of Neu5Gc have been shown to be incorporated into glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), resulting in N-glycolylated GAGs. These N-glycolylated GAGs have important potential applications, such as dating the loss of the Neu5Gc-generating CMAH gene in humans and being explored as a xenosialitis biomarker and/or estimate of the body burden of diet-derived Neu5Gc, to understand the risks associated with the consumption of red meats. This review explores N-glycolylated carbohydrates, how they are metabolized to N-glycolylglucosamine and N-glycolylgalactosamine, and how these metabolites can be incorporated into N-glycolylated GAGs in human tissues. We also discuss other sources of N-glycolylated sugars, such as recombinant production from microorganisms using metabolic engineering as well as chemical synthesis.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths despite being the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer when caught early through screening. There is an unmet need for novel screening approaches with improved accuracy, less invasiveness, and reduced costs. In recent years, evidence has accumulated around particular biological events that happen during the adenoma-to-carcinoma transition, especially focusing on precancerous immune responses in the colonic crypt. Protein glycosylation plays a central role in driving those responses, and recently, numerous reports have been published on how aberrant protein glycosylation both in colonic tissue and on circulating glycoproteins reflects these precancerous developments. The complex field of glycosylation, which exceeds complexity of proteins by several orders of magnitude, can now be studied primarily because of the availability of new high-throughput technologies such as mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence-powered data processing. This has now opened new avenues for studying novel biomarkers for CRC screening. This review summarizes the early events taking place from the normal colon mucosa toward adenoma and adenocarcinoma formation and associated critical protein glycosylation phenomena, both on the tissue level and in the circulation. These insights will help establish an understanding in the interpretation of novel CRC detection modalities that involve high-throughput glycomics.

    Abstract Background: There is a need for diagnostic tests for screening, triaging and staging of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Glycoproteomics of blood samples has shown promise for biomarker discovery.
    Methods: We applied glycoproteomics to serum of people with EOC or benign pelvic masses and healthy controls. A total of 653 analytes were quantified and assessed in multivariable models, which were tested in an independent cohort. Additionally, we analyzed glycosylation patterns in serum markers and in tissues.
    Results: We identified a biomarker panel that distinguished benign lesions from EOC with sensitivity and specificity of 83.5% and 90.1% in the training set, and of 86.7 and 86.7% in the test set, respectively. ROC analysis demonstrated strong performance across a range of cutoffs. Fucosylated multi-antennary glycopeptide markers were higher in late-stage than in early-stage EOC. A comparable pattern was found in late-stage EOC tissues.
    Conclusions: Blood glycopeptide biomarkers have the potential to distinguish benign from malignant pelvic masses, and early- from late-stage EOC. Glycosylation of circulating and tumor tissue proteins may be related. This study supports the hypothesis that blood glycoproteomic profiling can be used for EOC diagnosis and staging and it warrants further clinical evaluation.
