Resumo IPEN-doc 24397 Carbohydrate composition and site-occupancy determination in pituitary and recombinant preparations of human thyrotropin2017 - BARTOLINI, PAOLO; RIBELA, MARIA T.C.P.; DAMIANI, RENATA; SILVA, FELIPE D.; LIMA, ELIANA R.; OLIVEIRA, JOAO E.; PERONI, CIBELE N.; TORJESEN, PETER A.; SOARES, CARLOS R.Human thyrotropin (hTSH) is a glycoprotein with three potential glycosylation sites: two in the -subunit and one in the -subunit. Carbohydrate site-occupancy is frequently neglected in glycoprotein characterization, even if related to folding, trafficking, initiation of inflammation, host defence and congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). For the first-time N-glycoprofiling analysis was applied to site-occupancy determination of two native pituitary hTSH, in comparison with three CHO-derived preparations of hTSH, a widely used biopharmaceutical. A single methodology provided: (i) average N-glycan mass; (ii) mass fraction of each monosaccharide and of sulfate; (iii) percent carbohydrate. The results indicate that occupancy (65–87%) and carbohydrate mass (12–19%) can be 34–57% higher in recombinant hormones. The average glycan mass is 24% lower in pituitary hTSH and contains ∼3-fold fewer moles of galactose (P < 0.005) and sialic acid (P < 0.01). The number of moles of fucose per mole of hTSH was found 2.5-fold higher in the pituitary preparations. One of these native preparations, presenting the smallest glycan mass, lowest occupancy, GalNAc, sulfate, Gal and sialic acid contents, also presented the lowest in vivo bioactivity and circulatory half-life. This methodology, extremely important for comparing a recombinant biopharmaceutical to its native equivalent, can be applied to any physiologically or clinical relevant glycoprotein.Resumo IPEN-doc 20256 Effects of butyrate and manganese on productivity, sialylation, N-glycosylation site occupancy and biological properties of CHO-derived thyrotropin2014 - DAMIANI, RENATA; OLIVEIRA, JOAO E.; ALMEIDA, BEATRIZ E.; SANT'ANA, PATRICIA M.; DALMORA, SERGIO L.; BARTOLINI, PAOLO; RIBELA, MARIA T.C.P.
