Abstract:

Objective To explore difference of plasma N-glycosylation structure between age groups. Methods Based on cluster sampling, 212 residents of a certain community were selected and the serum N-glycans profiles were obtained by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Two independent samples t test or nonparametric tests were used to compare the N-glycosylation structure between age groups divided by 35. Results The average age of the 212 subjects was(37.78±17.89) years, and the sex ratio was 0.88. More digalactosylated glycans, monosialylated glycans, core-fucosylated glycans and biantennary glycans were detected in 35 years or more, whereas more biantennary non-galactosylated glycans, disialylated biantennary glycans, trisialylated glycans and triantennary glycans were seen in younger than 35 years(P≤0.03). Conclusion The N-glycome profile in serum is age dependent. This should be taken into consideration in the development of serum glycome markers.
