Site-specific O-glycoproteome mapping in complex biological system provides molecular basis for understanding the structure-function relationships of glycoproteins and their roles in physiological and pathological processes. Previous O-glycoproteome analysis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) focused on sialylated glycoforms, and many CSF glycoproteins have not been characterized comprehensively with respect to their O-glycosylation. In order to provide an unbiased O-glycosylation profiling, we have developed an integrated strategy combining universal boronic acid enrichment, high-pH fractionation, and electron-transfer and higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD) for improved intact O-glycopeptide analysis. This strategy was applied to analyze O-glycoproteome in CSF, leading to identifications of 308 O-glycopeptides from 110 O-glycoproteins, covering both sialylated and non-sialylated glycoforms. To our knowledge, this is the largest number of O-glycoproteins and O-glycosites reported for CSF so far, including 154 novel O-glycosites. Due to a lack of peptidomics workflow that could incorporate glycosylation analysis, the glycosylation state of CSF endogenous peptides has not been comprehensively studied. Here, we developed a peptidomics workflow that utilizes the EThcD fragmentation and a three-step database searching strategy, allowing both N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation, as well as other common peptide PTMs, to be analyzed at the same time. Interestingly, among the 1492 endogenous peptides identified, 95 of them were O-glycosylated and only 1 N-glycosylated peptide was found, indicating CSF endogenous peptides were preferentially O-glycosylated. By referring to human neuropeptide database, 15 of them were actually O-glycosylated neuropeptides deriving from ProSAAS and secretogranin-1. O-glycoproteome and endogenous peptidome PTMs analysis were also conducted in MCI and AD patients to give a landscape picture of glycosylation in these disease states. The results showed that a decreased fucosylation trend was found in MCI and AD, suggesting its potential relation to the progression of AD.
