We sought to define the extent of serum and IgG N-glycan disruption in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis from alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and ALD-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Finally, we aimed to examine whether serum and IgG glycosylation is associated with changes in Model for End-stage Liver Disease-Sodium (MELD-Na) scores, a clinical marker used to prioritise liver transplantation.</p> <p>Methods</p><p>Serum samples were obtained from patients with ALD (n = 17), PSC (n = 7), ALD-related HCC (n = 4), and healthy controls (n = 10).

N-glycans were released, fluorescently labelled, and profiled by hydrophilic interaction ultra performance liquid chromatography (HILIC-UPLC). Chromatograms were integrated into 46 and 23 glycan peaks for serum and IgG respectively. These peaks and their associated glycosylation traits were statistically compared with healthy controls using age- and sex-adjusted linear regression models.</p> <p>Results</p><p>In serum, decompensated cirrhosis shows statistically significant shifts toward less complex, agalactosylated and asialylated biantennary glycans, accompanied by significant losses of highly branched, galactosylated and sialylated structures.
