Aberrant glycosylation of glycoproteins has been linked with various pathologies. Therefore, understanding the relationship between aberrant glycosylation patterns and the onset and progression of the disease is an important research goal that may provide insights into cancer diagnosis and new therapy development. In this study, we use a surface plasmon resonance imaging biosensor and a lectin array to investigate aberrant glycosylation patterns associated with oncohematological disease-myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In particular, we detected the interaction between the lectins and glycoproteins present in the blood plasma of patients (three MDS subgroups with different risks of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and AML patients) and healthy controls. The interaction with lectins from Aleuria aurantia (AAL) and Erythrina cristagalli was more pronounced for plasma samples of the MDS and AML patients, and there was a significant difference between the sensor response to the interaction of AAL with blood plasma from low and medium-risk MDS patients and healthy controls. Our data also suggest that progression from MDS to AML is accompanied by sialylation of glycoproteins and increased levels of truncated O-glycans and that the number of lectins that allow discriminating different stages of disease increases as the disease progresses.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies with a high risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MDS are associated with posttranslational modifications of proteins and variations in the protein expression levels. In this work, we present a novel interactomic diagnostic method based on both protein array and surface plasmon resonance biosensor technology, which enables monitoring of protein-protein interactions in a label-free manner. In contrast to conventional methods based on the detection of individual biomarkers, our presented method relies on measuring interactions between arrays of selected proteins and patient plasma. We apply this method to plasma samples obtained from MDS and AML patients, as well as healthy donors, and demonstrate that even a small protein array comprising six selected proteins allows the method to discriminate among different MDS subtypes and healthy donors.
