Abstract
Human serum N-linked glycans expression levels change during the disease progression. The low abundance, structural diversity, and coexisting matrices hinder their detection in mass spectrometry analysis. Considering the hydrophilic nature of N-glycans, cellulose/polymer (1,2-Epoxy-5-hexene) nanohybrid is fabricated with oxirane groups functionalized of asparagine to develop solid phase extraction based hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography sorbent (cellulose/1,2-Epoxy-5-hexene/asparagine). The morphology, elemental analysis, and surface properties are studied through scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The large surface area of cellulose/polymer nanohybrid (2.09 × 102 m2 /g) facilitates the high density of asparagine immobilization resulting in better hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography enrichment under optimized conditions. The enrichment capability of nanohybrid/asparagine is assessed by the N-Linked glycans released from ovalbumin and immunoglobulin G where 23 and 13 N-glycans are detected respectively. The nanohybrid/asparagine shows selectivity of 1:1200 with spiked bovine serum albumin and sensitivity down to 100 attomole. Human serum profiling for N-glycans identifies 52 glycan structures. This new enrichment strategy enriches serum N-linked glycans in the presence of salts, proteins, endogenous serum peptides, and so forth.
