Site-specific characterization of the N- and O-linked glycosylation on a set of different human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) drug products was performed by a LC-MS method combining high resolution (120K at m/z 200) mass spectrometry, multiple dissociation methods, tandem mass tag (TMT 10plex) labeling, and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). In total, the data provided identification, relative quantification, and comparison of site-specific glycosylation of protein therapeutics with a single experiment. Ten different lots and/or brands of commercial therapeutic hCG were labeled with TMT 10plex reagents after tryptic digestion. The labeled intact glycopeptides were then analyzed by high resolution LC-MS with online alternating HCD/ETD/CID dissociation methods. For digested hCG drugs, 1000 intact N- and O-linked glycopeptides were identified. The relative amount of each glycopeptide from hCG products was determined based on the reporter signal intensities of the TMT labeling reagents. Moreover, with the help of TMT 10plex, through just one LC-MS run, PLS-DA was performed to ascertain the differences in glycosylation among different sources of hCG drug products. The results of PLS-DA showed that 167 glycopeptides were found to be significantly different between the naturally derived and recombinant hCG products. The results demonstrate the suitability of this method for similarity assessments and counterfeit identification of hCG as well as other glycoproteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002853 Chromatography, Liquid Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid. Liquid Chromatography
D006020 Glycopeptides Proteins which contain carbohydrate groups attached covalently to the polypeptide chain. The protein moiety is the predominant group with the carbohydrate making up only a small percentage of the total weight. Glycopeptide
D006031 Glycosylation The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION). Protein Glycosylation,Glycosylation, Protein
D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
