ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Disease or a specific condition may cause alteration of human transferrin (hTf) glycosylation pattern. A specific analytical platform, lectin-based protein microarray, is designed and optimized for the investigation of hTf glycans, attached to the protein core in their native form. EXPERIMENTALDESIGN:
hTf molecules isolated from healthy persons of different age, diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) or colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients are used for method validation. Reliability of the results is ensured by three criteria for the evaluation of hTf-lectin interactions i) signal-to-noise ratio above 3, ii) signal intensity above 250 arbitrary units, and iii) hTf concentration ensuring high sensitivity of the assay.RESULTS:
Six lectins, out of fourteen tested, satisfy the criteria. hTf is spotted at concentration of 50 µg mL-L . When physiological samples (isolated hTf) are analyzed, the highest potential to differentiate between population groups expresses Aleuria aurantia (AAL), Triticum vulgaris (WGA) and Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA-E) lectins. The initial amount of hTf which can be analyzed is very low (75 pg). CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results confirm that a very sensitive, high-throughput lectin-based protein microarray platform can be formulated to detect changes in hTf glycan structures which can be considered as biomarkers of ageing or a disease.Palavras-chave
