| Abstract | The presence of α2,6-sialic acids on the Fc N-glycan provides anti-inflammatory properties to the IgGs through a mechanism that remains unclear. Fc-sialylated IgGs are rare in humans as well as in industrial host cell lines such as Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Facilitated access to well-characterized α2,6-sialylated IgGs would help elucidate the mechanism of this intriguing IgG's effector function. This study presents a method for the efficient Fc glycan α2,6-sialylation of a wild-type and a F243A IgG1 mutant by transient co-expression with the human α2,6-sialyltransferase 1 (ST6) and β1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 (GT) in CHO cells. Overexpression of ST6 alone only had a moderate effect on the glycoprofiles, whereas GT alone greatly enhanced Fc-galactosylation, but not sialylation. Overexpression of both GT and ST6 was necessary to obtain a glycoprofile dominated by α2,6-sialylated glycans in both antibodies. The wild-type was composed of the G2FS(6)1 glycan (38%) with remaining unsialylated glycans, while the mutant glycoprofile was essentially composed of G2FS(6)1 (25%), G2FS(3,6)2 (16%) and G2FS(6,6)2 (37%). The α2,6-linked sialic acids represented over 85% of all sialic acids in both antibodies. We discuss how the limited sialylation level in the wild-type IgG1 expressed alone or with GT results from the glycan interaction with Fc's amino acid residues or from intrinsic galactosyl- and sialyl-transferases substrate specificities. |
