Exploring the Glycosylation of Serum CA125

چکیده
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecologic cancer affecting women. The most widely used biomarker for ovarian cancer, CA125, lacks sensitivity and specificity. Here, we explored differences in glycosylation of CA125 between serum from patients with ovarian cancer and healthy controls. We found differences between CA125 N-glycans from patient sera compared to controls. These include increases in core-fucosylated bi-antennary monosialylated glycans, as well as decreases in mostly bisecting bi-antennary and non-fucosylated glycans in patients compared to controls. Measurement of the glycosylated state of CA125 may therefore provide a more specific biomarker for patients with ovarian cancer.

Analysis of Glycan Variation on Glycoproteins from Serum by the Reverse Lectin-Based ELISA Assay
Altered glycosylation in glycoproteins is associated with carcinogenesis, and certain glycan structures and glycoproteins are well-known markers for tumor progression. To identify potential diagnostic candidate markers, we have developed a novel method for analysis of glycosylation changes of glycoproteins from crude serum samples using lectin-based glycoprotein capture followed by detection wi...
