Glycans and glycosaminoglycans in neurobiology: key regulators of neuronal cell function and fate [PDF]
, 2018 The aim of the present study was to examine the roles of l-fucose and the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) with selected functional molecules in neural tissues.

Chondroitin Sulfate and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans of PC12 Pheochromocytoma Cells
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989 We have isolated and characterized the cell-associated and secreted proteoglycans synthesized by a clonal line of rat adrenal medullary PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, which have been extensively employed for the study of a wide variety of neurobiological processes. Chondroitin sulfate accounts for 70-80% of the [35S] sulfate-labeled proteoglycans present

Advanced Science, EarlyView.PtRhIr/Ru SAN@M nanozymes cross the blood–brain barrier and selectively accumulate in hemorrhagic brain regions. By mimicking multiple enzyme activities, they attenuate oxidative stress, modulate microglial polarization toward an anti‐inflammatory phenotype, inhibit ferroptosis, and promote neuronal repair.

Future of Chondroprotectors in the Treatment of Degenerative Processes of Connective Tissue
Pharmaceuticals, 2020 Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases of the connective tissue of the elderly. It was found that most epidemiological studies used the Kellgren and Lawrence system for classification of osteoarthritis, which indicates one of the 5 degrees (0 ...

Platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated versican synthesis but not glycosaminoglycan elongation in vascular smooth muscle is mediated via Akt phosphorylation [PDF]
, 2014 Proteoglycans are associated with the initiation of atherosclerosis due to their binding of apolipoproteins on lipid particles leading to retention in the vessel wall.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A mechanically robust, ROS‐responsive hydrogel is engineered to treat intervertebral disc degeneration by targeting the NF‐κB–LCN2 inflammatory feedback loop. By delivering wedelolactone specifically within oxidative niches, this system disrupts macrophage–disc cell crosstalk.

Oxidized LDL bind to nonproteoglycan components of smooth muscle extracellular matrices
Journal of Lipid Research, 2001 Arterial wall lipid retention is believed to be due primarily to ionic interactions between lipoproteins and proteoglycans. Thus, oxidized low density lipoproteins (LDL), with decreased positive charge relative to native LDL, should have decreased ...
