Outline of Final Research Achievements

To establish the first disease-related glycome database, we have challenged the large-scale glycomics using more than 3500 patient’s sera provided from clinical teams. An innovative “automated glycan analytical system” facilitated rapid and large-scale serum glycomics and quantitative glycan profiling toward new biomarker discovery. For example, we succeeded in the discovery of novel N-glycan biomarkers as a significant recurrence factor based on whole serum glycan profiling of 369 patients of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)(Hepatology 2013 57, 2314-2325; Hepatology 2014 59, 355-356), N-glycans as promising prognostic biomarkers in renal cell carcinoma(The Prostate 2014 74, 1521-1529), and N-glycans associated significantly with metastatic castration-resistant status in prostate cancer(J. Urology 2014 191, 805-813). These results allowed the construction of the first database of the disease-related glycome feasible for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
