High-throughput rat immunoglobulin G N-glycosylation profiling revealed subclass-specific changes associated with chronic stress
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation corresponds well with immune system changes, so it can potentially be used as a biomarker for the consequences of chronic stress such as low-grade inflammation and enhanced immunosenescence in older animals.

| Tartalmi kivonat: | Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation corresponds well with immune system changes, so it can potentially be used as a biomarker for the consequences of chronic stress such as low-grade inflammation and enhanced immunosenescence in older animals. Here we present a high-throughput glycoproteomic workflow, including IgG enrichment, HILIC glycopeptide purification, and nano-LC-MS analysis of tryptic glycopeptides applied for the analysis of rat IgG. A cohort of 80 animals was exposed to seven stressors in a customized chronic stress protocol with blood and tissue sampling in three timepoints. Young female rats experienced an increase in agalactosylated glycoforms on IgG2a and IgG2c accompanied by a decrease in monogalactosylation. Among old females, increased galactosylation was observed in the IgG2b subclass, pointing to an anti-inflammatory activity of IgG. Additionally, IgG Fc N-glycosylation patterns in Sprague Dawley rats were analyzed, quantified, and reported for the first time. Our findings emphasize age-, sex- and subclass-dependent differences in IgG glycosylation related to chronic stress exposure, confirming the relevance of newly developed methods for further research in glycobiology of rodent immune response. SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we showed that a high-throughput streamlined methodology based on protein L 96-well monolithic plates for efficient rat IgG immunoaffinity enrichment from blood plasma, paired with appropriate tryptic glycopeptide preparation, HILIC-SPE enrichment, and nano-LC-MS methods was suitable for quick processing of large sample sets. We report a subclass-specific profiling and changes in rat IgG Fc galactosylation and adrenal gland immunohistochemistry of male and female animals exposed to a customized chronic stress protocol. |
