Abstract | Colorectal cancer (CRC) stands as a leading cause of death worldwide, often arising from specific genetic mutations, progressing from pre-cancerous adenomas to adenocarcinomas. Early detection through regular screening can result in a 90% 5-year survival rate for patients. However, unfortunately, only a fraction of CRC cases are identified at pre-invasive stages, allowing progression to occur silently over 10-15 years. The intricate interplay between the immune system and tumor cells within the tumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in the progression of CRC. Immune cell clusters can either inhibit or facilitate tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis. To gain a better understanding of this relationship, we conducted N-glycomic profiling using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). We detected nearly 100 N-glycan species across all samples, revealing a shift in N-glycome profiles from normal to cancerous tissues, marked by a decrease in high mannose N-glycans. Further analysis of precancerous to invasive carcinomas showed an increase in pauci-mannose biantennary, and tetraantennary N-glycans with disease progression. Moreover, a distinct stratification in the N-glycome profile was observed between non-mucinous and mucinous CRC tissues, driven by pauci-mannose, high mannose, and bisecting N-glycans. Notably, we identified immune clusters of CD20 |
