Recent investigations have implicated aberrant glycosylations in various malignancies, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The protocol here identifies O-linked carbohydrate patterns in EOC plasma glycoproteins through chemical cleavage and purification of these glycans. Dialyzed plasma is subjected to reductive beta-elimination with alkaline borohydride to release O-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. Enrichment of released glycans, as well as removal of peptide and other contaminants, is followed by carbohydrate pattern analysis with MALDI-FT-ICR-MS.
最近的研究表明,异常糖基化与包括上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)在内的各种恶性肿瘤有关。本文所述方案通过化学切割和纯化这些聚糖来鉴定EOC血浆糖蛋白中的O-连接碳水化合物模式。将透析后的血浆用碱性硼氢化物进行还原性β-消除反应,以从糖蛋白中释放出O-连接寡糖。在对释放出的聚糖进行富集以及去除肽和其他污染物之后,采用基质辅助激光解吸电离傅里叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(MALDI-FT-ICR-MS)进行碳水化合物模式分析。
