Complex recombinant glycoproteins produced as potential biopharmaceuticals in goat's milk have an aberrant pattern of N-glycosylation due to the lack of multi-antennary structures. Overexpression of glycosyltransferases may increase oligosaccharide branching of the desired glycoproteins. Here, human erythropoietin fused to human IgG Fc (EPO-Fc) was co-expressed with N-acetyl-glucosaminyltransferase-IVa (GnT-IVa) by adenoviral transduction in goat mammary gland to evaluate the in vivo modification of N-glycosylation pattern in this tissue. Adenoviral vectors, containing the EPO-Fc and GnT-IVa sequences were assembled for in vitro and in vivo expression in mammalian cell culture or in goat mammary gland. Protein detection was assessed by gel electrophoresis and western blot, and N-glycans were identified by HPLC and mass spectrometry. GnT-IVa overexpression and its colocalization with EPO-Fc in the Golgi apparatus of SiHa cells were demonstrated. N-glycan analysis of in vitro and in vivo expression of EPO-Fc modified by GnT-IVa (EPO-Fc/GnT-IVa) showed an increase in high molecular weight structures, which corresponded to tri- and tetra-antennary N-glycans in SiHa cells and mostly tri-antennary N-glycans in goat's milk from transformed mammary tissue. The results confirmed that successful modification of the goat mammary gland secretion pathway could be achieved by co-expressing glycoenzymes together with the glycoprotein of interest. This is the first report of modification of the N-glycosylation pattern in the goat mammary gland in vivo, and constitutes a step forward for improving the use of the mammary gland as a bioreactor for the production of complex recombinant proteins.
