概要 Tracing cell surface sialylation dynamics at a scale of the glycolipoprotein microdomain (lipid rafts) formations remains an intriguing challenge of cellular biology. Here, we demonstrate that this goal is accessible, taking advantage of a boronic acid (BA)-based reversible molecular recognition chemistry. A BA-end-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) was decorated onto an atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever, which provided a dynamic and sialic acid (SA)-specific imaging mode. Using this technique, we were able to heat map the SA expression levels not only on protein-decorated substrates but also directly on the cell surfaces, with a submicrometer scale resolution that may be relevant to that of the lipid rafts formation. The SA specificity and the binding reversibility of the probe were confirmed from its pH-dependent characteristics and an inhibition assay using free state SA. This finding may provide a noninvasive means for assessing a variety of SA-involved glycosylation dynamics spanning from physiology to pathology.
