PurposeTo investigate the concentration and composition of N-glycans in plasma and vitreous samples obtained from patients with non-proliferative vitreoretinal diseases.MethodsPlasma and vitreous samples were collected from 11 patients with idiopathic macular hole (MH) and 9 patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM). The samples were pretreated for enzymatic cleaving, and subsequently glycans released from proteins were captured on BlotGlyco H beads. Sialic acids were methyl-esterified. Processed glycans were tagged with aminooxy-functionalized peptide reagent (aoWR) and released from the beads, followed by detection by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The concentration and composition of N-glycans in the samples were assessed.ResultsConcentration of N-glycans in vitreous samples (132 ± 29 pmol/100 μg protein) was significantly lower compared with those in plasma samples (714 ± 29 pmol/100 μg protein,p< 0.001). Predominant N-glycan in both plasma (39.7 ± 1.1 %) and vitreous fluid (37.2 ± 3.1 %) was identical, and the composition was presumed as [(Hex)2(HexNAc)2(NeuAc)2+ (Man)3(GlcNAc)2]. By contrast, the second-ranked N-glycan in vitreous samples (15.6 ± 1.5 %) was the seventh in plasma (2.3 ± 0.2 %).ConclusionsThe current data provide useful information on N-glycan profile in the vitreous fluid, which is distinct from that in the plasma.
