"ABSTRACT : A method has been developed for release/
isolation of O-glycans from glycoproteins in whole cell lysates
for mass spectrometric analysis. Cells are lysed in SDS, which
is then exchanged for urea and ammonium bicarbonate in a
centrifugal filter, before treating with NH4OH to release Oglycans.
Following centrifugation, O-glycans are recovered in
the filtrate. Sonication achieves O-glycan release in 1 h.
Combining the established protocol for filter-aided N-glycan
separation, here optimized for enhanced PNGase F efficiency,
with the developed O-glycan release method allows analysis of
both N- and O-glycans from one sample, in the same filter
unit, from 0.5 to 1 million cells. The method is compatible with subsequent analysis of the residual protein by liquid
chromatography−mass spectrometry (LC−MS) after glycan release. The medium throughput approach is amenable to analysis
of biological replicates, offering a simple way to assess the often subtle changes to glycan profiles accompanying differentiation
and disease progression, in a statistically robust way."
