Expressed prostatic secretions (EPS), also called post digital rectal exam urines, are proximal fluids of the prostate that are widely used for diagnostic and prognostic assays for prostate cancer. These fluids contain an abundant number of glycoproteins and extracellular vesicles secreted by the prostate gland, and the ability to detect changes in their N-glycans composition as a reflection of disease state represents potential new biomarker candidates. Methods to characterize these N-glycan constituents directly from clinical samples in a timely manner and with minimal sample processing requirements are not currently available. In this report, an approach is described to directly profile the N-glycan constituents of EPS urine samples, prostatic fluids and urine using imaging mass spectrometry for detection. An amine reactive slide is used to immobilize glycoproteins from a few microliters of spotted samples, followed by peptide N-glycosidase digestion. Over 100 N-glycan compositions can be detected with this method, and it works with urine, urine EPS, prostatic fluids, and urine EPS-derived extracellular vesicles. A comparison of the N-glycans detected from the fluids with tissue N-glycans from prostate cancer tissues was done, indicating a subset of N-glycans present in fluids derived from the gland lumens. The developed N-glycan profiling is amenable to analysis of larger clinical cohorts and adaptable to other biofluids.
前列腺分泌液(EPS),也称为直肠指检后尿液,是前列腺的近端液体,广泛用于前列腺癌的诊断和预后分析。这些液体含有大量由前列腺分泌的糖蛋白和细胞外囊泡,检测其N-聚糖组成变化以反映疾病状态的能力代表了潜在的新型生物标志物候选物。目前尚无能够及时且以最少样本处理要求直接从临床样本中表征这些N-聚糖成分的方法。在本报告中,描述了一种使用成像质谱检测直接分析EPS尿液样本、前列腺液和尿液中N-聚糖成分的方法。使用胺反应性载玻片固定来自几微升点样样本中的糖蛋白,然后进行肽N-糖苷酶消化。用这种方法可以检测到100多种N-聚糖组成,并且它适用于尿液、尿液EPS、前列腺液以及尿液EPS衍生的细胞外囊泡。对从这些液体中检测到的N-聚糖与前列腺癌组织的组织N-聚糖进行了比较,表明在腺管腔来源的液体中存在一部分N-聚糖。所开发的N-聚糖分析方法适用于更大规模临床队列的分析,并且可适用于其他生物流体。
