Abstract

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Life Sciences & Biomedicine Physical Sciences Science & Technology
(1) Glycoproteins account for similar to 80% of proteins located at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. A growing body of evidence indicates that -L-fucose protein modifications contribute to breast cancer progression and metastatic disease. (2) Using a combination of techniques, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) based in cell and on tissue imaging and glycan sequencing using exoglycosidase analysis coupled to hydrophilic interaction ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (HILIC UPLC), we establish that a core-fucosylated tetra-antennary glycan containing a single N-acetyllactosamine (F(6)A4G4Lac1) is associated with poor clinical outcomes in breast cancer, including lymph node metastasis, recurrent disease, and reduced survival. (3) This study is the first to identify a single N-glycan, F(6)A4G4Lac1, as having a correlation with poor clinical outcomes in breast cancer.
