Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring proteins associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis and a diagnostic kit using the same, more particularly, relates to a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of glycosylation of proteins, especially, the changes of N-linked sugar chains of proteins associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis and a diagnostic kit using the same.
- proteomics a post-genome functional analyzing method, took the place of it, which was led by the development of mass spectrometer like MALDI-TOF and the establishment of easy methods for determining N-terminal amino acid sequences.
- the proteomics though, is limited in use for the research of cancer caused by the result of highly complicated signal transduction, because proteomics is selectively available for the analysis of functions at the one point of time although human body is in dynamic motion. In order to detect a cancer, it is more important to investigate the increased expression or post- translational modification that are resulted from signal transduction than to observe the appearance of new spots by staining.
- glycosylation of proteins can help overcome the above problem and correct the errors of analysis based on post-translational modification.
- patients group with cancer was compared with control group, it was difficult to find out the difference of spots between the two groups by general electrophoresis, in the meantime, it was possible to draw a clear line between the two groups by analyzing the changes of glycosylation with lectin.
- glycomics is an upgraded analyzing method overcoming difficulties in analysis with proteomics and is characterized by tracing the changes of glycosylation of proteins while post-translational modification is undergoing.
- N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) .
- the GnT-V is an enzyme catalyzing such reaction that N- acetylglucosamine is attached onto the ⁇ 1,6 site of the basic sugar chain of a glycoprotein and is known to be directly associated with cancer invasion and metastasis (Dennis, et al . , 1987, Science, 236:582- 5853) .
- glycoproteins basic sugar chain is formed in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after protein is synthesized, which moves to Golgi apparatus. Then, sugars are added thereto by various glycotransferases resulted from various vital phenomena of cells.
- Primary sugar chains are formed by catalyzing of six N- acetylglucosaminyltransferases (I-VI) and especially
- GnT-V forming ⁇ 1, 6-N-acetylglucosamine sugar chain has been believed to be deeply associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis.
- GnT-V is located in Golgi apparatus. This enzyme makes target proteins be secreted to or out of the cell surface by causing the changes of sugar chains. At this time, glycoproteins recognize surface proteins of target cells and then adhere thereto, causing a cancer.
- GnT-V was first noticed by the report of Dennis et al . in 1987 that the ⁇ 1,6 branches were remarkably represented as cancer tissues were growing or during metastasis (Dennis, et al . , 1987, Science, 236:582- 5853) .
- a cell surface protein gpl30 is one of major target proteins of GnT-V and shows highly metastasis activity when ⁇ 1,6 N-acetylglucosamine is added.
- GnT- V knockout mice were established in which GnT-V was deficient in their embryonic stem (ES) cells and to which polyomavirus middle T antigen (referred "PyMT" hereinafter) viral oncogene was introduced in order to induce a cancer.
- ES embryonic stem
- PyMT polyomavirus middle T antigen
- GnT-V is believed to be associated with metastasis and have high metastatic activity regardless of types of tissues.
- GnT-V enzyme was purified from human lung cancer cells and a mouse kidney, and cDNA cloning and analysis of genomic structure and promoter of the enzyme have been made (Gu, et al . , 1993, J Biochem, 113:614-619; Soreibah, et al .

METHOD FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF CANCERS BY
MEASURING THE CHANGES OF GLYCOSYLATION OF
PROTEINS RELATED TO TUMORIGENESIS AND
METASTASIS AND KIT FOR DIAGNOSIS OF CANCERS
USING THE SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring proteins associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis and a diagnostic kit using the same, more particularly, relates to a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of glycosylation of proteins, especially, the changes of N-linked sugar chains of proteins associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis and a diagnostic kit using the same.
BACKGROUND ART OF THE INVENTION
In order to analyze the functions of proteins, two-dimensional electrophoresis has long been used. But recently, proteomics, a post-genome functional analyzing method, took the place of it, which was led by the development of mass spectrometer like MALDI-TOF and the establishment of easy methods for determining N-terminal amino acid sequences. The proteomics,
though, is limited in use for the research of cancer caused by the result of highly complicated signal transduction, because proteomics is selectively available for the analysis of functions at the one point of time although human body is in dynamic motion. In order to detect a cancer, it is more important to investigate the increased expression or post- translational modification that are resulted from signal transduction than to observe the appearance of new spots by staining. The amounts of proteins that can be detected on the two-dimensional electrophoresis are too small to analyze by simple staining. Observing glycosylation of proteins can help overcome the above problem and correct the errors of analysis based on post-translational modification. When patients group with cancer was compared with control group, it was difficult to find out the difference of spots between the two groups by general electrophoresis, in the meantime, it was possible to draw a clear line between the two groups by analyzing the changes of glycosylation with lectin. It is now called glycomics that is an upgraded analyzing method overcoming difficulties in analysis with proteomics and is characterized by tracing the changes of glycosylation of proteins while post-translational modification is undergoing.
From observing cellular biological changes during tumorigenesis and metastasis process, it is concluded that various kinds of glycoproteins or glycolipids on the surface of cell membrane are induced to go through "aberrant glycosylation" by the specific signal from oncogene, resulted in the changes of sugar chain that consecutively causes the changes of intercellular adhesion and recognition, resulted in tumorigenesis and metastasis in the event (Hakomori and Kannagi, 1983, J. Na tl . Cancer Inst . , 71:231-251; Feizi, 1985, Na ture, 314:53-571). When external stimuli come in, signals are transmitted via oncogene ras, transcription factor ets-1 to stimulate the expression of N- acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) . The GnT-V is an enzyme catalyzing such reaction that N- acetylglucosamine is attached onto the β 1,6 site of the basic sugar chain of a glycoprotein and is known to be directly associated with cancer invasion and metastasis (Dennis, et al . , 1987, Science, 236:582- 5853) . As for glycoproteins, basic sugar chain is formed in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after protein is synthesized, which moves to Golgi apparatus. Then, sugars are added thereto by various glycotransferases resulted from various vital phenomena of cells. Primary sugar chains are formed by catalyzing of six N- acetylglucosaminyltransferases (I-VI) and especially
GnT-V forming β 1, 6-N-acetylglucosamine sugar chain has
been believed to be deeply associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. GnT-V is located in Golgi apparatus. This enzyme makes target proteins be secreted to or out of the cell surface by causing the changes of sugar chains. At this time, glycoproteins recognize surface proteins of target cells and then adhere thereto, causing a cancer.
GnT-V was first noticed by the report of Dennis et al . in 1987 that the β 1,6 branches were remarkably represented as cancer tissues were growing or during metastasis (Dennis, et al . , 1987, Science, 236:582- 5853) . A cell surface protein gpl30 is one of major target proteins of GnT-V and shows highly metastasis activity when β 1,6 N-acetylglucosamine is added. GnT- V knockout mice were established in which GnT-V was deficient in their embryonic stem (ES) cells and to which polyomavirus middle T antigen (referred "PyMT" hereinafter) viral oncogene was introduced in order to induce a cancer. Resultingly, the growth of cancer and metastasis induced by PyMT were remarkably inhibited in GnT-V knockout mice comparing with another normal mice group in which only PyMT was over-expressed (Granovsky, et al . , 2000, Na ture Med. , 6:306-312), and the growth of β 1,6 branch caused high metastasis especially in mice with breast cancer. Recent studies support that the GnT-V activity to 33 types of hepatocellular
carcinoma (HOC) tissues is fifty times as high as it' s activity to normal tissues and four times as high as to cancer surrounding tissues (Yao, et al . , 1998, J Cancer Res . Clin . Oncol . , 124:27-307). And high metastatic activity was also confirmed when large intestine cancer cell line WiDr in which GnT-V was over-expressed was introduced into immunodeficient mice in order to induce large intestine cancer or when angiogenesis was investigated by CAM analysis using fertilized eggs (Miyoshi, et al . , 2001, unpublished results). Thus, GnT-V is believed to be associated with metastasis and have high metastatic activity regardless of types of tissues. GnT-V enzyme was purified from human lung cancer cells and a mouse kidney, and cDNA cloning and analysis of genomic structure and promoter of the enzyme have been made (Gu, et al . , 1993, J Biochem, 113:614-619; Soreibah, et al . , 1993, J Biol . Chem . , 268:15381-15385; Kang, et al . , 1996, J. Biol . Chem . , 271:26706-26712). The present inventors also reported in a recent study that transcription factor ets-1 was deeply associated with the expression of GnT-V (Ko, et al . , 1999, J. Biol . Chem . , 274 (33) : 22941-22948 ) . As for large intestine cancer, it now takes the 4th highest incidence in both men and women owing to the changes of dietary life into western and the development of the cancer increases continuously.
However, there is no way to diagnose colon cancer
accurately except large intestine endoscopy, so far.
Thus, the present inventors detected β 1,6-N- acetylglucosamine in which sugars were attached by GnT- V in cancer-induced cells and found out a novel glycoprotein showing the changes of sugar chains by analyzing amino acid sequences with a mass spectrometer. And the present inventors completed this invention by developing a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of sugar chains of the above protein in test samples and a diagnostic kit for cancers using the same .
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of sugar chains of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis and a diagnostic kit using the same.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of sugar chains of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis. The present invention also provides a diagnostic kit for cancers using the above method.
Further features of the present invention will appear hereinafter.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of sugar chains of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis.
Cancers stated above can be selected from a group consisting of colon cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, uterine cancer, breast cancer and pancreas cancer, but are not limited thereto.
The present invention provides a method for measuring the changes of sugar chain branches of proteins in cancer cells and metastatic cells representing the changes of β 1,6 N-acetylglucosamine, that is the changes of N-linked sugar chains, by comparing them with those in normal cells. GnT-V forming sugar chains of β 1, 6 N-acetylglucosamine is associated "with tumorigenesis and metastasis regardless of types of tissues, and the sugar chains of β 1,6-N- acetylglucosamine can be detected with lectin phytohaemagglutinin-L4 (referred "L4-PHA" hereinafter) .
Metastasis is caused by intercellular recognition and adhesion. Glycoproteins associated with intercellular recognition and adhesion, are on the cell surface or secreted therefrom. Thus, cancers can be diagnosed by detecting primary markers from body fluids
like blood or urine. In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a colon cancer cell line WiDr, in which GnT-V expression was comparatively low, was used in order to identify specific markers of large intestine cancer, and glycomics was performed using GnT-V/WiDr, a cell line over-expressing GnT-V, as a model system of colon cancer. In this invention, metastatic cancer cell culture solution was analyzed by 2-dimensional electrophoresis. As a result, 2 sheets of gel were obtained. One sheet of gel was stained with Coomassie brilliant blue and the other sheet was treated with lectin blotting. Finally, proteins in which sugar chains were changed in cancer cells and metastatic cells rather than in normal cells were separated (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 6) . Some regions having strong dark spots were detected in cancer cells by lectin blot recognizing β 1,6 N-acetylglucosamine branch. The proteins corresponding to the spots were confirmed to be associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis and show the changes of sugar chains.
The present inventors cut the spots off, and then cleaved proteins again. Determined amino acid sequence of the peptide using Electrospray Ionization (ESI) /Quadruple Time of Flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer, resulting in the confirmation of peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. Nos 1-15. Identified the peptide sequences with precise names by comparing
that with already established protein database and further analyzed each sequence, molecular weight and isoelectric point (see Table 1) .
The above protein was confirmed based on the fact that N-linked sugar chain is located on the Asn in the sequence of Asn-Xaa-Thr/Ser (Varki, et al . , 1999,
Essentials of glycobiology, Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory, New York, USA, pp85-100) .
The peptide sequences analyzed above, which are represented by SEQ. ID. No 1 and No 2, are the parts of PDF (prostate-derived factor) . In the meantime, PDF is known as one of BMPs (Bone morphogenetic proteins) that is a member of TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta) family and is associated with bone development and regeneration by inducing cartilage formation (Paralkar,V.M. et al . , 1998, J Biol . Chem, 273:13760- 13767). And the peptide has 2 well-reserved N-linked sugar chain sites. The above proteins have been found by many research groups in the name of PDF, MIC-1 (macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1) , PLAB (placental bone morphogenic protein) , GDF-15 (growth/ differentiation factor 15) , etc.
The peptide sequences analyzed above, which are represented by SEQ. ID. No 3, No 4 and No 5, are known as T cell cyclophilin and also called peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase. The reserved N-linked sugar chain
can be found on 3 sites on the sequence that is also well known as a constituent for anti-oxidant system.
The peptide sequences analyzed above, which are represented by SEQ. ID. Nos 6-11, were confirmed to be a new protein by comparing that up with the entire established database. The protein has Asn-Xaa-Ser sequence in its 4th peptide, suggesting it probably contains N-linked sugar chain.
The peptide sequences analyzed above, which are represented by SEQ. ID. No 12 and No 13, are known in many names of galectin binding protein, L3 antigen, Mac-2-binding protein, serum protein 90K, tumor associated antigen 90K, etc, and are detected from the blood of cancer or AIDS patients. The result of Northern blot was that the protein was expressed much in primary cancer tissues and tumor-associated cell lines, though the expression varied with disease types. The protein was proved to have 7 reserved N-linked sugar chain sites (Ullich,A. et al . , 1994, J Biol . Chem . , 269:18401-18407).
The peptide sequences analyzed above, which are represented by SEQ. ID. No 14 and No 15, are known as TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1) and 4 TIMPs (1-4) have been found so far. As a low molecular protein, the molecular weights of the proteins are 22K-30K and the proteins have 40-50% homology. TIMP-1 takes the form of train by
glycosylation, because of which the molecular weight of TIMP-1 seems to be high (see FIG. 7) . And N-terminal is attached to MMPs, resulting in the inhibition of the activity of matrix metalloproteinase . This protein has N-linked sugar chains on two sites (Gomls-Reuth, F. et al . , 1997, Na ture, 389:77-81).
Even though two of the above five proteins, galectin binding protein (tumor associated antigen 90K) and TIMP-1, have been known to be directly related to tumorigenesis and metastasis, clear reports on the changes of sugar chain branches of βl,6 N- acetylglucosamine induced by cancer and the above two proteins have not been presented yet.
The proteins detected out above that reflect the changes of sugar chains in connection with tumorigenesis and metastasis are glycoproteins, and they are on the surface of cells or secreted therefrom, so that cancer can be diagnosed by measuring the expression and the changes of N-linked sugar chains of the proteins in body fluids like blood or urine.
A method for diagnosing cancers using the proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis comprises following two steps: Taking samples from patients (Step 1) ; and Measuring the changes of N- linked sugar chains and the expression of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis with the above
samples (Step 2) .
The sample of the above Step 1 can be taken from blood or urine, and preferably prepared by the general separation method of serum. As for the measuring method of the above Step 2, every analyzing methods based on the principle of antigen-antibody reaction can be used. Especially, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and immunoblot, the most common methods for analyzing antigen-antibody reaction, are preferably used.
The present inventors provide a method for measuring the changes of N-linked sugar chains and the expression of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis after producing antibodies to the proteins in order to diagnose cancers.
A method for measuring the changes of N-linked sugar chains and the expression of the proteins by ELISA comprises the following steps: 1) Adhering antibody against the protein related to tumorigenesis and metastasis to matrix;
2) Adding serum of a sample to the above matrix to induce reaction, and then washing thereof;
3) Adding marked the same antibody or marked L4- PHA for further reaction;
4) After washing the above matrix, adding the secondary antibody conjugated with coloring enzyme or
fluorescent substance thereto for further reaction; and 5) After coloring thereof using coloring substrate solution, measuring optical density with ELISA reader.
The matrix of the Step 1 can be selected from a group consisting of nitrocellulose membrane, 96 well plate synthesized with polyvinyl resin, 96 well plate synthesized with polystyrene and slide glass, and 96 well plate was chosen for this invention.
For a mark of the above Step 3, a chemical compound (or its derivatives) like biotin can be used. The expression of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis can be analyzed using biotin-labeled the same antibody and the changes of β 1,6 N- acetylglucosamine sugar chain branches, the changes of N-linked sugar chains, can be measured using biotin- labeled L4-PHA.
Peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase can be used as a coloring enzyme conjugated with antibody of the Step
4, and FITC or RITC can be used as a fluorescent substance. Particularly, peroxydase conjugated antibody was used in this invention.
ABTS [2, 2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonic acid) ] , OPD (o-Phenylenediamine) and TMB
(Tetramethyl Benzidine) can be used as a coloring substrate solution of the Step 5, and particularly, OPD
that was colored by peroxidase was used in this invention.
The method for diagnosing cancers of the present invention is available for mass-analysis of samples using biological microchip and automatic microarray system.
The present invention also provides a kit for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of sugar chains and the expression of proteins associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis.
Cancers mentioned above include large intestine cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, uterine cancer, breast cancer and pancreas cancer, but are not limited thereto, that is, any kind of cancer can be a target of this invention.
The protein associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis is selected from a group consisting of PDF, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, galectin binding protein, L3 antigen, Mac-2-binding protein, serum protein 90K, tumor associated antigen 90K, TIMP-1 and proteins containing peptide sequences represented by
SEQ. ID. Nos 6-11.
The diagnostic kit of the present invention is available for qualitative analysis or quantitative analysis of the expression of the above proteins and for measuring the changes of N-linked sugar chain,
exactly the changes of β 1, 6-N-acetylglucosamine sugar chain branches, for which ELISA can be used. For instance, the diagnostic kit can be provided for the ELISA using 96 well microtiter plate coated with antibody against the above proteins.
The diagnostic kit of the present invention can include antibody against the above proteins, matrix, buffer solution, coloring enzyme or fluorescent substance-labeled secondary antibody, coloring substrate, and especially, L4-PHA to measure the changes of β 1, 6-N-acetylglucosamine sugar chain branches .

EXAMPLES
Practical and presently preferred embodiments of the present invention are illustrative as shown in the following Examples.
However, it will be appreciated that those skilled in the art, on consideration of this disclosure, may make modifications and improvements within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Example 1: Two-dimensional electrophoresis and lectin blotting of cell lines
The present inventors performed proteomics with GnT-V/WiDr cell line, considering that cell line as a model system of large intestine cancer. Particularly,
cultured cells first, and then searched out a specific protein group evoking aggravation of cancer by being associated with the enzyme among intracellular and extracellular secreted proteins. Cultured Mock/WiDr, a control group cell line, ets-1/WiDr, a cell line over- expressing ets-1, and GnT-V/WiDr, a cell line over- expressing GnT-V, in RPMI medium (Gibco BRL) supplemented with 10% FCS. For the preparation of an over-expressing cell line, introduced eukaryotic over- expression plasmid (Ko, et al . , 1999, J. Biol . Chem . , 274(33): 22941-22948), transcription factor ets-1 and glycotransferase GnT-V into the large intestine cancer cell line WiDr (provided by American Type Tissue Culture; ATCC, USA) . Treated the cells with G418 (350 μ g/ml) to correspond to neomycin resistant gene. As colonies were formed, detected ets-1 with Western blot using antibody and GnT-V with Northern blot using cDNA. 2-3 days later, when cells covered 90% of the bottom of culture plate (confluent) in a C02 incubator, the cells were washed with PBS (phosphate buffered saline) more than twice to remove remaining serum. Collected the cells with a scraper and washed with PBS. Suspended the cells in 1 mi of PBS and then sonicated thereof with a ultrasonicator (three times, 1 minute each time) , Added acetone containing TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to the above crushed cells (final cone. 10%) to precipitate proteins only. Washed thereof with acetone
more than three times to remove remaining TCA and then dried. Dissolved thereof by adding gel loading buffer solution (8 M Urea, 2% Triton X-100, 20 mM DTT, 0.5% carrier ampholyte, Bromophenol Blue dye) and performed 1-dimensional electrophoresis (18 cm drystrip pH 3-10) using Multiphor-II (Pharmarcia) .
After equilibrating the obtained 1-dimensional electrophoresis gel with equilibrium buffer solution containing SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol, performed 2- dimensional electrophoresis on 12% polyacrylamide using Protean LI (Bio-Rad) . Obtained 2 sheets of gel: One was stained with Coomassie brilliant blue using biosafe staining solution (Bio-Rad) and the other was transferred to PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) membrane using semi-dry transfer (Bio-Rad) . Adhered biotin-labeled L-PHA recognizing β 1,6 N- acetylglucosamine branch to glycoprotein having the branch, and then attached HRP-labeled streptoavidin thereto. Exposed thereof to film by ECL fluorescent reaction.
In order to compare with a control group
(Mock/WiDr) , carried out the experiments with the same condition, that is, performed 1-dimensinal electrophoresis (separation of isoelectric point) first and then stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (FIG. 3) , transferred the proteins of gel to PVDF membrane,
followed by performing lectin blotting using GnT-V- specific L4-PHA (FIG. 4) . Performed 2-dimensional electrophoresis more than three times and analyzed the changes of the expression of intracellular protein using computer software (PDQUEST, Bio-Rad) . As a result, no protein that showed more than 4-times difference in the expression profile of protein was detected and no significant change was seen in lectin blot (FIG. 4), either.
Example 2: Two-dimensional electrophoresis and lectin blotting of serum-free media
The present inventors cultured cell lines in serum-free media, through which investigated the changes of sugar chains. Particularly, cultured Mock/WiDr cell line, ets-1/WiDr cell line and GnT- V/WiDr cell line in RPMI (Gibco BRL) media containing 10% FCS. 2-3 days later, when cells covered around 80% of the bottom of culture plate in a C02 incubator washed with PBS more than twice to remove remaining serum. Then, put RPMI medium without serum, further cultured for 48 hours, and obtained culture solution. After concentrating the medium, added acetone (final cone. 10%) containing TCA (trichloro acetic acid), resulting in the precipitation of proteins. Washed thereof with acetone more than 3 times to remove
remaining TCA, and then dried. Dissolved thereof by adding gel loading buffer solution (8 M Urea, 2% Triton X-100, 20 mM DTT, 0.5% carrier ampholyte, Bromophenol Blue dye) thereto. Performed 1-dimensional electrophoresis and 2-dimensional electrophoresis with the same method as the above Example 1.
After completing 2-dimensional electrophoresis, small amounts of FCS were detected and wide changes of PIM (post translational modification) were expected, so that the expression could hardly be compared with limited software. In the mean time, it was confirmed from the result of L-PHA lectin blot that darker spots were detected in ets-1 over-expressing cell line, comparing with the control group, and the darkest spots were observed in GnT-V over-expressing cell line (FIG. 5 and FIG. 6) . Cut 12 spots off among all the above spots and identified 5 spots of them.
Example 3: Sequence analysis of proteins with an ESI/Q- TOF mass spectrometer
In order to identify proteins located in the above 5 spots, the present inventors stained PVDF membrane (lectin blot) that was already exposed to X- ray film with Coomassie brilliant blue and then adhered thereof onto exposed film again to confirm the exact
locations of spots, followed by cutting spots off corresponding to those of a gel stained with Coomassie brilliant blue. After destaining thereof using 30% methanol and 100% acetonitrille, added 10 U of trypsin
(Promega) and then cut peptides at 37 °C for overnight. Extracted the peptides using acetonitrille, freeze- dried thereof with a centrifugal freezing drier, and then determined amino acid sequences using ESI/Q-TOF
(Electrospray Ionization/Quadruple Time of Flight) mass spectrometer. Each peptide could be separated by ESI and sequence analysis could be possible by tandom mass.
As a result, peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. Nos 1-15 were determined by ESI/Q-TOF and identified after being compared with protein database. Each sequence, molecular weight (MW) and isoelectric point (pi) were presented below (Table 1) .
<Table 1>
Their characteristics are explained below. The above proteins were confirmed based on the fact that N- linked sugar chain is located on the Asn in the sequence of Asn-Xaa-Thr/Ser (Varki, et al . , 1999, Essentials of glycobiology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, USA, pp85-100) .
A of the above Table 1 containing peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. No 1 and No 2, that is PDF (prostate-derived factor) , is one of BMP proteins (Bone morphogenetic proteins) of TGF
(transforming growth factor) ~β family and has two preserved N-linked sugar chain sites. This protein has been searched in many names of not only PDF but also MIC-1 (macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1) , PLAB (placental bone morphogenic protein) , GDF-15, PTGFP, etc by many research groups.
B known as T cell cyclophilin containing peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. No 3, No 4 and No 5 is also called peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase. It has three preserved N-linked sugar chain sites.
C containing peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. Nos 6-11 is proved to be a new protein by comparing it with the established databases. It is also believed to have N-linked sugar chain since it has the sequence of Asn-Xaa-Ser in its forth peptide.
D containing peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. No 12 and No 13 has been known in many names such as galectin binding protein, L3 antigen, Mac-2-binding protein, serum protein 90K, tumor associated antigen 90K, etc, and has seven preserved N-linked sugar chain sites .
E containing peptide sequences represented by SEQ. ID. No 14 and No 15 is known as TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1) and is an example of the above timp-1 identified by ESI/Q-TOF
(FIG. 7) . As shown in FIG. 7, TIMP-1 is shaped as a train formed by glycosylation, by which its molecular
weight seems high. TIMP-1 also has two N-linked sugar chain sites.
Example 4 : Measurement of the changes of sugar chain branches or the expression of proteins
In order to diagnose cancers by measuring the changes of sugar chains or the expression of proteins identified above, the present inventors measured the changes of sugar chains and the expression of the proteins using ELISA.
First, obtained cDNA of target protein, which was then cloned into the eukaryotic gene expression vector. Cloned thereof into WiDr cell line. Purified the protein (1 mg each) from the above culture solution. Mixed thereof with adjuvant, which was injected hypodermically into rabbits, resulting in the preparation of polyclonal antibodies. Adhered the required amount of the antibody to two 96 well plates respectively. Precisely, coated protein A originated from bacteria to 96 well plate (Maxisorb, Nunc) by 1 βg per well under the condition of containing 100 μJL of 0.1 M sodium carbornate (pH 9.6). Washed thereof with TBS-T (Tris-buffered saline-Tween, 0.2 M Tris-Cl, 0.4 M NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20) and adhered the above prepared antibody thereto. Washed with TBS-T again and then blocked parts that were not adhered, resulting in the
preparation of a stable antibody system. Consecutive dilution was performed after adding blood or other test samples to the plate for the reproducibility and statistical handling, and then washed thereof with TBS- T three times. At that time, the target protein would be adhered to its specific antibody. The expression of the protein was confirmed by the same antibody labeled with biotin, and the changes of sugar chains of β 1,6 N-acetylglucosamine were confirmed by lectin, in which biotin-labeled L-PHA was used. In order to prepare biotin-labeled antibody, dialyzed antibody (5-10 mg/mA) in 250 mi of SBRB (succinimidyl-biotin reaction buffer) at 23°C for 6 hours. Adjusted the concentration of NHS-biotin (N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-biotin) or NHS-LC- biotin (long chain sulfosuccinimidyl 6- (biotinamido) hexanoate derivative biotin) to 2-4 mg/m£ in DMSO
(dimethylsulfoxide) and mixed the antibody and the biotin solution in the ratio of 1:30 (Ab:biotin), followed by stirring at 37 °C. Left thereof for 1 hour to bind biotin and antibody. Prepared biotin-labeled antibody after dialyzing thereof in BBS (Borate buffered saline) . For the lectin, commercial biotin- labeled L-PHA was used. Detected biotin-labeled antibody and lectin by using commercial avidine- peroxidase kit. Precisely, added H202 and 0-phenylamine; a substrate for peroxidase, and measured optical density at 490 nm. Measured the expression of protein
and the changes of glycosylation of β 1,6 N- acetylglucosamine in the blood samples of patients with cancer and then compared them with those in normal control group.
As a result, the glycosylation extent of β 1,6 N- acetylglucosamine in the blood of cancer patients was confirmed to increase 10-20 times as much as that in normal blood.
