Differential expression of proteoglycans in tissue remodeling and lymphangiogenesis after experimental renal transplantation in rats. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Chronic transplant dysfunction explains the majority of late renal allograft loss and is accompanied by extensive tissue remodeling leading to transplant vasculopathy, glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Matrix proteoglycans mediate

The effect of using chondroitin sulfate in osteoarthritis of the knee
Introduction: Osteoarthritis is the most common disease of the musculoskeletal system. It develops in the regulation of the quality and quantity of articular cartilage, which cushions the joint and improves the sliding of the articular surfaces ...

Statistical method for analysis of interactions between chosen protein and chondroitin sulfate in an aqueous environment [PDF]
We present the statistical method to study the interaction between a chosen protein and another molecule (e.g., both being components of lubricin found in synovial fluid) in a water environment. The research is performed on the example of univariate time series of chosen features of the dynamics of mucin, which interact with chondroitin sulfate (4 and ...

CD44 binds a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, aggrecan [PDF]
Here we report that CD44 binds a chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycan, aggrecan, a major component of cartilage. Soluble CD44-IgG and CD44(+) cells bound to aggrecan from rat chondrosarcoma and bovine cartilage, immobilized on microtiter plates. In both cases, binding was blocked by a neutralizing anti-CD44 mAb or by the pretreatment of aggrecan with ...

Proteoglycans and neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex during development and disease
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and heparan sulfate proteoglycans are major constituents of the extracellular matrix and the cell surface in the brain. Proteoglycans bind with many proteins including growth factors, chemokines, axon guidance molecules,

Antioxidant, antiinflammatory and neuroprotective actions of chondroitin sulfate and proteoglycans [PDF]
The antiinflammatory and antiapoptotic effects of chondroitin sulfate (CS) are being used to treat osteoarthritis. Recent evidence has revealed that those peripheral effects of CS may also have therapeutic interest in diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). We review here such evidence.

Galactosaminoglycan Function and Oligosaccharide Structure Determination
This review will discuss the importance of sequencing long chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate chains specifically derived from decorin. Decorin is a member of the small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans and ubiquitously expressed primarily in the ...

Internalization and trafficking of CSPG-bound recombinant VAR2CSA lectins in cancer cells
Proteoglycans are proteins that are modified with glycosaminoglycan chains. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are currently being exploited as targets for drug-delivery in various cancer indications, however basic knowledge on how CSPGs are ...
