Effect of glycosaminoglycans on the structure and composition of articular cartilage and bone of broilers

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2023
: This study aimed to assess the influence of glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin and glucosamine sulfates) supplementation in the diet of broilers on the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and metallopeptidase inhibitor 2 (TIMP-2) genes, the ...

Differential expression of proteoglycans in tissue remodeling and lymphangiogenesis after experimental renal transplantation in rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
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

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2023
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 ...

Proteoglycans and neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex during development and disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
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,

Inhibition of Heparan Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
Proteoglycans (PGs) are composed of a protein moiety and a complex glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharide moiety. GAG chains are responsible for various biological activities. GAG chains are covalently attached to serine residues of the core protein. The first step in PG biosynthesis is xylosylation of certain serine residues of the core protein.

The endogenous proteoglycan-degrading enzyme ADAMTS-4 promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are major inhibitory molecules for neural plasticity under both physiological and pathological conditions. The chondroitin sulfate degrading enzyme chondroitinase ABC promotes functional recovery after spinal ...

CD44 binds a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, aggrecan [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Immunology, 2001
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 ...

Opticin Binds to Heparan and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans

open access: yesInvestigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2005
The extracellular matrix glycoprotein opticin is a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan/protein family member that was discovered associated with vitreous humor collagen fibrils. Opticin is present throughout the vitreous, but is particularly concentrated at the internal limiting lamina, where it colocalizes with type XVIII collagen.

Galactosaminoglycan Function and Oligosaccharide Structure Determination

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2007
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 ...
