AIM: Glycosylation of proteins is altered in cancer cells and distinctive glycan structures are associated with specific cancers, but little is known about the complete glycan profile of particular tumors. In this study, glycomic analysis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix was performed to search for useful markers. METHODS: A lectin microarray containing 45 lectins with different binding preferences that covered N- and O-linked glycans was coupled with evanescent field-activated fluorescent detection for glycomic analysis of SCC and normal squamous epithelium (NSE) of the cervix. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were obtained from 16 patients with uterine cervical cancer. Sections that included both tumor and non-tumor tissues were examined to detect alterations of glycans based on the lectin-binding pattern. RESULTS: Hippeastrum hybrid lectin was found to be a sensitive marker for distinguishing SCC of the cervix from NSE. It was the best lectin for discriminating SCC from other tissues according to receiver-operator curve analysis, as it showed a high sensitivity (81.8%), a high specificity (70.1%), and a large area under the curve (0.8182). Histochemistry confirmed specific cytoplasmic staining of SCC cells by Hippeastrum hybrid lectin, while there was little staining of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and no staining of NSE. CONCLUSION: The present lectin microarray technique could be applied for tissue-based glycomic analysis of various tumors and for discovery of glycan-related biomarkers.
