The glycome, the totality of glycans produced by a cell, is a dynamic indicator of the cell s physiology.[1] Changes in the glycome reflect a cell s developmental stage and the transformation state of a cell. Recently, imaging of glycans in vivo has been enabled using a bioorthogonal chemical reporter strategy by treating cells or organisms with azide-or alkynetagged monosaccharide precursors.[2, 3] The modified monosaccharides, when taken up by cells, are activated in the cytoplasm to form nucleotide sugars, substrates of glycosyltransferases that generate complex glycans in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Once incorporated into cell-surface glycoconjugates, the bioorthogonal chemical tags allow covalent conjugation with fluorescent probes for visualization,[2] or with affinity probes for enrichment and glycomic analysis.[4] This approach has been successfully used for the detection and imaging of mucin O-linked glycans,[2] sialylated [2] and fucosylated glycans,[5] and cytosolic O-GlcNAcylated proteins (GlcNAc= N-acetylglucosamine).[2] However, only monosaccharides are tracked by this strategy, and each monosaccharide is usually found on a plethora of glycans.[6] Higher-order glycans, such as disaccharides or trisaccharides, of specific composition cannot be uniquely labeled by hijacking their biosynthetic pathways with nonnatural monosaccharides (Figure 1a). Herein, we report a rapid and highly specific chemoenzymatic method for labeling cell-surface glycans bearing a ubiquitous disaccharide—N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc, Galβ1, 4GlcNAc)—with biophysical probes for imaging or glycomic analysis. LacNAc is widely distributed in most vertebrates, enveloped viruses, certain pathogenic bacteria, and human parasites.[6] It is a universal component of complex and hybrid N-glycans as well as a few types of O-glycans and glycolipids.[6] Branched N-and O-glycans are modified in the trans Golgi by β (1, 4)-galactosyltransferases to generate the LacNAc disaccharide, which can be further elongated by β (1, 3)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases to ultimately form linear homopolymers of LacNAc of variable length, known as poly-LacNAc. The availability and localization of glycosyltransferases and donor substrates, that is, UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-Gal (UDP= uridine diphosphate), influences the biosynthesis and elongation of poly-LacNAc in the Golgi apparatus.[7]Terminal LacNAc may be capped by α-linked sialic acid, galactose or fucose added to the terminal galactose, or fucosylated on the internal N-acetylglucosamine residue to generate glycan epitopes such as Lewis X (Galβ1, 4-(Fucα1, 3) GlcNAc, LeX) and sialyl Lewis X (Siaα2, 3Galβ1, 4-(Fucα1, 3) GlcNAc, sLeX). Many of these modifications are developmentally regulated.[8] Mice with homozygous knockout of β (1, 4)-galactosyltransferase-1, one of the β (1, 4)-galactosyltransferases that adds Gal to GlcNAc to form LacNAc, exhibit growth retardation and a markedly shortened life span.[8] Furthermore, cell-surface LacNAc levels are elevated in certain malignant tissues. For example, immunohistochemical analysis of normal mucosa and carcinomas of the human colorectum revealed a strong correlation between the level of cell-surface LacNAc and colorectal cancer.[9] LacNAc disaccharides are barely detectable in normal mucosa, but are markedly increased in carcinomas of the human colorectum. Thus, glycans with LacNAc constitute attractive targets for molecular imaging and potential biomarkers for cancer.
