AB  - Background. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a well-known laboratory biomarker. In spite of high concentration
and the possible biomedical importance of estimating GGT in human seminal plasma (hSP), it has not been widely
explored in reproductive physiology. This study aimed to complement existing data on its diversity, previously obtained
on seminal extracellular vesicles, by analyzing matched soluble fraction of hSP. The GGT-associated patterns of
selected glycoproteins were analyzed in order to establish an adjunct referent parameter for differentiation between
known high molecular mass forms of GGT. Getting insight into distinct GGT-associated glycoprotein patterns should
contribute to define them together as possible multimarkers.
Methods. GGT forms in soluble, membrane-free-fraction isolated form hSP of normozoospermic men were analyzed
using gel filtration and lectin blotting using WGA (wheat germ agglutinin) and Con A (concanavalin A).
Results. Widely distributed GGT (with two to three partially resolved peaks), which may correspond to high molecular
mass aggregates, were detected. GGT-associated patterns of selected glycoproteins (at position of big, medium, and
small-GGT) all comprised high molecular mass WGA-reactive smears, but differed in the presence of Con A-reactive
glycans, as well as mucin-associated antigens CA19-9 and CA125.
Conclusions. GGT contributes to several molecular patterns that differ between the soluble and extracellular vesicle
fractions of hSP. Their glycobiochemical heterogeneity is due to difference in the presence of distinct sialylated and mannosylated
glycans. Moreover, GGT-associated glycoprotein patterns differentiate between high molecular mass forms
of GGT in the soluble fraction of hSP. They hold promise as possible targets for increasing biomarker potential of GGT.

AB  - Background: Prostasomes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) abundantly present in seminal plasma, express distinct
tetraspanins (TS) and galectin-3 (gal-3), which are supposed to shape their surface by an assembly of
different molecular complexes. In this study, detergent-sensitivity patterns of membrane-associated prostasomal
proteins were determined aiming at the solubilization signature as an intrinsic multimolecular
marker and a new parameter suitable as a reference for the comparison of EVs populations in health and
disease.
Methods: Prostasomes were disrupted by Triton X-100 and analyzed by gel filtration under conditions that
maintained complete solubilization. Redistribution of TS (CD63, CD9, and CD81), gal-3, gamma-glutamyltransferase
(GGT), and distinct N-glycans was monitored using solid-phase lectin-binding assays, transmission
electron microscopy, electrophoresis, and lectin blot.
Results: Comparative data on prostasomes under normal physiology and conditions of low sperm count
revealed similarity regarding the redistribution of distinct N-glycans and GGT, all presumed to be mainly
part of the vesicle coat. In contrast to this, a greater difference was found in the redistribution of integral
membrane proteins, exemplified by TS and gal-3. Accordingly, they were grouped into two molecular patterns
mainly consisting of overlapped CD9/gal-3/wheat germ agglutinin-reactive glycoproteins and CD63/
GGT/concanavalin A-reactive glycoproteins.
Conclusions: Solubilization signature can be considered as an all-inclusive distinction factor regarding the
surface properties of a particular vesicle since it reflects the status of the parent cell and the extracellular
environment, both of which contribute to the composition of spatial membrane arrangements.
