ABSTRACT: Application of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

15

(hiPSC-CMs) as tissue transplants in regenerative medicine depends on cell-surface marker-

16

based characterisation and/or purification. Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are a family of highly

17

diverse surface-exposed biomolecules that have been neglected as potential surface

18

markers for hiPSC-CMs due to significant analytical challenges. Here, we describe the

19

development of a novel and high-throughput-compatible workflow for the analysis of GSL-

20

derived glycans based on ceramide glycanase digestion, APTS labelling and multiplexed

21

capillary gel electrophoresis coupled to laser induced fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF).

22

GSL glycans were detected with highly reproducible migration times after repeated analysis

23

by xCGE-LIF. We built up a migration time database comprising 38 different glycan species

24

and we showed exemplarily that as few as 10 pg of fucosyl lactotetra were detectable. GSL

25

glycan profiling could be performed with 105 human induced pluripotent stem cells and we

26

quantitatively dissected global alterations of GSL glycosylation of hiPSCs and hiPSC-CMs by

27

employing xCGE-LIF. In our study we observed a general switch from complex GSLs with

28

lacto- and globo-series core structures comprising the well-known human pluripotent stem

29

cell markers stage-specific embryonic antigen 3 (SSEA3) and SSEA4 in hiPSCs towards the

30

simple gangliosides GM3 and GD3 in hiPSC-CMs. This is the first description of GM3 and

31

GD3 being highly abundant GSLs on the cell-surface of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

INTRODUCTION

33

As the human heart has a low regeneration capacity,1 tissue transplants made from human

34

pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are considered a viable option.2

35

These transplants must contain pure cardiomyocytes without contaminating stem cells that

36

could lead to teratoma formation3 or affect the functionality of the graft. To date, the

37

characterisation and purification of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes has entirely relied on

38

few cell-surface exposed proteins4-7 or N-glycans.8 While glycosphingolipid (GSL) glycans

39

are commonly applied as markers for pluripotent stem cells9 or cancer cells,10,11 GSL

40

glycosylation of hiPSC-CMs has not been assessed at a global level by analytical methods,

41

but rather investigated with a particular focus on histo-blood group antigens using specific

42

antibodies.12 Several hundred different glycan structures are known in humans and their

43

expression is highly dynamic and strongly influenced by the developmental state and

44

environmental conditions.13 Mass spectrometry-based14-18 as well as chromatographic19-21

45

techniques have been developed for GSL analysis. Tetramethylrhodamine-labelled GSLs

46

could be efficiently separated and detected at high sensitivity by capillary electrophoresis

47

with laser-induced fluorescence detection.22 However to globally decipher GSL glycosylation

48

at high-throughput there is a paucity of novel analytical technologies due to significant

49

technical challenges. Our interest in regenerative medicine using hiPSC-CMs8,23,24 led us to

50

the development of multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis coupled to laser induced

51

fluorescence detection (xCGE-LIF8,25-31) for the analysis of GSL-derived glycans. xCGE-LIF

52

has particular advantages over other glyco-analytical technologies including potential for

53

high-throughput, isomer separation capacity, sensitivity and low cost per sample.32 To the

54

best of our knowledge we here present the first application of xCGE-LIF in the

55

characterisation of GSL-based cell surface markers for hiPSC-CMs.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

60

Glycan-based standards library development

61

In the first instance we needed to establish a GSL-based standards library to be used in the

62

xCGE-LIF protocol. We commenced this library development by using a leech-derived

63

(Hirudo medicinalis) ceramide glycanase digestion33 of GSLs from commercially available

64

GSL standards. This enzyme efficiently released the glycan head groups leading to free

65

reducing-end glycans that could be subsequently labelled with the fluorescent dye 8-

66

aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS) and analysed by xCGE-LIF. Specifically, we used

67

six different commercially available GSLs including GM3 (aa), GD1a (ab), GD3 (ac), GD1b

68

(ad), GD2 (ae) and GM1a (af) and demonstrated in a multi-replicate analysis that the entire

69

workflow including ceramide glycanase digestion, fluorescent labelling with APTS and xCGE-

70

LIF led to defined signals at distinct migration time units (MTUs, Figure 1) with minimal

71

deviations below 0.5 MTU (Figure S1; Table S1). Variations between different runs could be

72

efficiently minimized by internal calibration to a size standard that is detected at a different

73

wave length. The measurements correlating a value for the migration time to a defined

74

glycan were used to build up a database. However, in standards of GSLs with terminal sialic

75

acids, we could also detect the respective desialylated species after analysis by xCGE-LIF

76

(Figure 1 A-C). As we applied similar labelling conditions as for N-glycans, this is expected to

77

be caused by partial loss of terminal sialic acids.29 We further expanded the repertoire of

78

different glycan structures by analysing commercially available glycans that are known to be

79

present as head groups on GSLs including Lewis x pentaose (Le x penta, ag), fucosyl

80

lactotetraose / stage-specific embryonic antigen 5 (fucosyl Lc4 / SSEA5, ah), fucosyl

81

neolactotetraose (fucosyl nLc4, ai), sialyl lactotetraose (sialyl Lc4, aj), sialyl globopentaose /

91

migrated faster than larger glycans, and addition of charged sialic acid residues significantly

92

increased migration velocity during the electrophoresis. Importantly, using xCGE-LIF we

93

could not only discriminate glycans differing in the number or type of monosaccharides but

94

also clearly distinguish peaks of structural isomers that differ either in the positioning of

95

identical monosaccharides (e.g. GD1a-derived glycan (ab) vs. GD1b-derived glycan (ad)) or

96

even in the type of linkage between identical monosaccharides (e.g. fucosyl Lc4 / SSEA5

97

(ah) having galactose bound to N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in β1-3-linkage vs. fucosyl

98

nLc4 (ai) with galactose bound to GlcNAc in β1-4-linkage). Determination of the xCGE-LIF

99

detection limit revealed that as little as 10 pg of fucosyl Lc4 is sufficient to give rise to a

100

detectable signal (Figure S4). We completed our library development by treating

101

commercially available (GSL-derived) glycans with different exoglycosidases. Thereby we

102

obtained additional glycan structures including lactose (Lac, bc), gangliotriaose (Gn3, bd),

103

gangliotetraose (Gn4, be), GM2-derived glycan (bf), lactotriaose (Lc3, bg), lactotetraose

104

(Lc4, bh), globotetraose (Gb4, bi), isoglobotetraose (isoGb4, bj), isoglobotriaose (isoGb3, bk)

105

and neolactopentaose (nLc5, bl) that were applied to expand our migration time database

106

(Figure S5, Table S3). The applied exoglycosidases were shown to cleave their designated

107

target glycans, but did not modify a panel of non-target glycans (Figure S6), underlining their

108

specificity. We ended up with a glycan library of 38 different structures covering a broad

109

spectrum of GSL glycans present on human pluripotent stem cells and early derivatives

Characterisation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) GSL glycans

113

The establishment of this novel analytical approach with various standards provided us the

114

opportunity to analyse GSL glycans prepared from human induced pluripotent stem cells

115

(hiPSCs). We obtained electropherograms with numerous clear baseline separated peaks

116

(Figure S7a and b) that consistently appeared with similar MTUs (Table S4). However, the

117

analysis of GSL glycans from hiPSCs by xCGE-LIF at different time points (hiPSC1 to 3 vs.

118

hiPSC4 to 6, Table S4) revealed that MTU values are less diverging when samples are

119

analysed in a short term interval as the lot or aging of the polymer slightly affects the

120

migration times. Based on our database, 15 peaks could be assigned to specific glycans

121

(Figure S7) comprising ganglio-, globo- and lacto-series glycans. Treatment of hiPSC-

122

derived GSL glycans with different exoglycosidases (Figure S8) confirmed these peak

123

assignments. Relative quantification of peak intensities based on their heights and

124

comparison between different biological replicates underscored the reproducibility of the

125

observed peak intensities (Figure S7c and d). For assessment of the detection limit of our

126

novel analytical approach, we compared peak heights of 104, 105, and 106 hiPS cells. For

127

inter-sample comparison, we added the same amount of a defined N-glycan standard (Man6)

128

to each sample, enabling normalization of peak intensities of different electropherograms by

129

adjustment to the intensity of the internal standard peak. This analysis revealed that the

130

majority of peaks could still be detected from as few as 105 hiPS cells (Figure S9). For

131

comprehensive glycosphingolipidomics of biomaterials, broad substrate specificity of the

132

applied ceramide glycanase is pivotal and we therefore compared our enzyme from Hirudo

133

medicinalis with the known broad specific endoglycoceramidase from Rhodococcus

134

triatomea.19 hiPSC-derived GSLs were digested in parallel with both enzymes and xCGE-LIF

135

analysis revealed similarities and differences in the substrate specificity of both enzymes.

136

Nevertheless, both enzymes seem comparably suited for digestion of a broad spectrum of

137

GSLs (Figure S10; Table S6). Alternatively to enzymatic digestion, GSL glycans can be

released by oxidation with bleach (NaClO) leading to free glycan nitriles.35 However,

139

suitability of glycan nitriles for xCGE-LIF remains elusive.

140 141

Determining changes in the glycosphingolipidome by cardiac differentiation of hiPSCs

142

Using our established novel xCGE-LIF analytical approach for the determination of GSL-

143

derived glycans, we interrogated the changes in the glycosphingolipidome that are

144

associated with cardiac differentiation of hiPSCs. Thus, hiPSCs were differentiated into

145

cardiomyocytes applying the GiWi approach36,37 that led to the formation of 82+/-6% cardiac

146

muscle troponin T (cTnT) positive cardiomyocytes on d10 of differentiation in three

147

independent differentiation approaches (Figure S11). GSLs of hiPSCs and hiPSC-derived

148

cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) were prepared and their released glycans were analysed by

149

xCGE-LIF in the presence of an internal standard enabling comparison of peak heights

150

between different samples (Figure 2, Table 1, Table S5). Thereby, we could confirm the

151

human pluripotent stem cell characteristic pattern of GSL glycans in our hiPSCs including

152

Gb5 / SSEA3 and sialyl Gb5 / SSEA4.9 These common stem cell markers as well as Gb4

153

that belong to the GSL globo-series were strongly reduced in hiPSC-CMs compared to

154

hiPSCs as was the lacto-series GSL glycan Lc4. On the other hand, simple ganglioside-

155

derived glycans such as GM3-derived glycan and GD3-derived glycan were strongly

156

augmented in hiPSC-CMs whereas complex ganglio-series GSL-derived glycans including

157

GD1b-derived glycan and GM1a-derived glycan were reduced. These findings imply a

158

general shift from globo- and lacto-series GSLs in hiPSCs to simple gangliosides in hiPSC-

159

CMs. Interestingly, a similar switch of GSL core structures has been reported previously by

160

Liang et al., who applied an undirected embryoid body-based differentiation into cell types of

161

all three germ layers.34 Unlike Liang et al., we did directed differentiation into highly enriched

162

hiPSC-CMs. The glycan lactose of the ubiquitous precursor for GSL synthesis,

163

lactosylceramide, as well as the glycan Gb3, the precursor of globo-series GSLs, were found

164

at almost similar levels in hiPSCs and hiPSC-CMs. Notably, the complex lacto-series and

neolacto-series glycans sialyl Lc4 and nLc4 were significantly increased in hiPSC-CMs,

166

respectively (Figure 2).

CONCLUSIONS

169

Taken together, to the best of our knowledge, we here present the first description of xCGE-

170

LIF for the analysis of GSL-derived glycans. This paved the way for an unprecedented

171

comprehensive analysis of GSL glycans of hiPSC-CMs leading to the identification of GD3,

172

GM3, sialyl Lc4 and nLc4 as novel cell-surface markers. These markers have the potential to

173

be used in the isolation of pure stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes from residual stem cells

174

that is in high demand for applications in regenerative medicine.
