Summary: Protein glycosylation, an important post-translational modification, plays a vital role in physiological processes. N-glycans exhibit structural diversity in linkages and branching styles and structure-specific glycan profiling can provide more potential biological information. In this study, N-glycans released from human serum samples were profiled using nanoLC-ESI-MS with PGC as a stationary phase. Alpha 2-3 neuraminidase was applied for distinguishing sialic acid linkage types. Significant differences in abundance were observed for 20 isomeric N-glycans between multiple myeloma cases and healthy controls. ROC analysis showed high diagnostic accuracy for MM, with 6 AUCs exceeding 0.80. PCA was used to establish differences among sample sets. Furthermore, these specific isomers have important clinical application value for early detection of multiple myeloma.
