Glycoproteins, representing a significant proportion of posttranslational products, play pivotal roles in various biological processes, such as signal transduction and immune response. Abnormal glycosylation may lead to structural and functional changes of glycoprotein, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Consequently, exploring protein glycosylation can shed light on the mechanisms behind disease manifestation and pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Nonetheless, the study of clinical glycoproteomics is fraught with challenges due to the low abundance and intricate structures of glycosylation. Recent advancements in mass spectrometry‐based clinical glycoproteomics have improved our ability to identify abnormal glycoproteins in clinical samples. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the foundational principles and recent advancements in clinical glycoproteomic methodologies and applications. Furthermore, we discussed the typical characteristics, underlying functions, and mechanisms of glycoproteins in various diseases, such as brain diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, kidney diseases, and metabolic diseases. Additionally, we highlighted potential avenues for future development in clinical glycoproteomics. These insights provided in this review will enhance the comprehension of clinical glycoproteomic methods and diseases and promote the elucidation of pathogenesis and the discovery of novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

The screening of novel antiviral agents from marine microorganisms is an important strategy for new drug development. Our previous study found that polyether K-41A and its analog K-41Am, derived from a marine Streptomyces strain, exhibit anti-HIV activity by suppressing the activities of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and its integrase (IN). Among the K-41A derivatives, two disaccharide-bearing polyethers—K-41B and K-41Bm—were found to have potent anti-HIV-1IIIB activity in vitro. This study aimed to clarify whether K-41B and K-41Bm have inhibitory effects on different HIV-1 strains or whether these two derivatives have mechanisms of action different from that of their precursor, K-41A. An anti-HIV-1 assay indicated that K-41B and K-41Bm have potent anti-HIV-1BaL activity, with low 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) (0.076 and 0.208 μM, respectively) and high selective indexes (SIs) (58.829 and 31.938, respectively) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-HIV-1BaL system. The time-of-addition (TOA) assay indicated that K-41B and K-41Bm may exert antiviral effects by activating multiple stages of HIV-1 replication. A cell protection assay indicated that the pretreatment of cells with K-41B or K-41Bm has almost no inhibitory effect on HIV-1 infection. A virus inactivation assay indicated that pretreatment of the virus with K-41B or K-41Bm inhibits HIV-1 infection by 60%. A cell–cell fusion assay showed that K-41B and K-41Bm blocked the cell fusion mediated by viral envelope proteins. The HIV-1 key enzyme experiment also indicated that both compounds have certain inhibitory effects on HIV-1 IN. Furthermore, molecular docking showed that K-41B and K-41Bm interact with several viral and host proteins, including HIV-1 IN, an envelope protein (gp120), a transmembrane protein (gp41), and cell surface receptors (CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4). Overall, in addition to having a similar anti-HIV-1 mechanism of inhibiting HIV-1 IN like the precursor polyether K-41A, the disaccharide-bearing polyether derivatives K-41B and K-41Bm may also inhibit viral entry. This suggests that they display anti-HIV-1 mechanisms that are different from those of their precursor polyethers.
