Sialic acids (Sias) cover vertebrate cell surface glycans. N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its hydroxylated form N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) are common Sia in mammals. Humans cannot synthesize Neu5Gc but accumulate it on cells through red-meat rich diets, generating numerous immunogenic Neu5Gc-neoantigens. Consequently, humans have diverse anti-Neu5Gc antibodies affecting xenotransplantation, cancer, atherosclerosis, and infertility. Anti-Neu5Gc antibodies circulate as IgG, IgM, and IgA isotypes; however, repertoires of the different isotypes in a large population have not been studied yet. Here, we used glycan microarrays to investigate anti-Neu5Gc IgGs and IgAs in intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or pooled human IgA, respectively. Binding patterns on microarrays fabricated with Neu5Gc- and Neu5Ac-glycans, together with inhibition assays, revealed that different IVIG preparations have highly specific anti-Neu5Gc IgG reactivity with closely related repertoires, while IgAs show cross-reactivity against several Neu5Ac-glycans. Such different anti-Neu5Gc IgG/IgA repertoires in individuals could possibly mediate distinctive effects on human diseases.
硅烷酸(Sias)覆盖脊椎动物细胞表面的聚糖。N-乙酰神经氨酸(Neu5Ac)及其羟化形式 N-乙酰神经氨酸(Neu5Gc)是哺乳动物常见的 Sia。人类不能合成 Neu5Gc,但通过富含红色肉类的饮食将其积累在细胞上,产生了大量具有免疫原性的 Neu5Gc-新抗原。因此,人类产生了多种抗 Neu5Gc 抗体,影响了异种移植、癌症、动脉粥样硬化和不孕症。抗 Neu5Gc 抗体以 IgG、IgM 和 IgA 三种异型循环存在;然而,目前还没有对大量人群中不同异型抗体的复合物进行研究。在这里,我们使用聚糖微阵列分别研究了静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)或集合人类 IgA 中的抗 Neu5Gc IgG 和 IgA。用 Neu5Gc 和 Neu5Ac 聚糖制作的微阵列上的结合模式以及抑制测定显示,不同的 IVIG 制剂具有高度特异性的抗 Neu5Gc IgG 反应,其反应谱密切相关,而 IgA 则对几种 Neu5Ac 聚糖表现出交叉反应。个体中这种不同的抗 Neu5Gc IgG/IgA 反应谱可能会对人类疾病产生不同的影响。
