Reaction of superoxide radicals with glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study. [PDF]
Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, perhaps through the binding of myeloperoxidase directly to the glycosaminoglycans.

Investigating the Role of Aggrecan in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration [PDF]
Low back pain affects nearly 85% of the population of the United States, and is associated with a huge socioeconomic burden. One of the leading causes of low back pain is Intervertebral Disc (IVD) degeneration, which results in an ingrowth of blood ...

Intra-articular Injection of HB-IGF-1 Sustains Delivery of IGF-1 to Cartilage through Binding to Chondroitin Sulfate [PDF]
Objective: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) stimulates cartilage repair but is not a practical therapy due to its short half-life. We have previously modified IGF-1 by adding a heparin-binding domain and have shown that this fusion protein (HB-IGF-1)

Brain ageing changes proteoglycan sulfation, rendering perineuronal nets more inhibitory [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycans in perineuronal nets (PNNs) from the central nervous system (CNS) are involved in the control of plasticity and memory.

Catabolism of chondroitin sulfate
AbstractChondroitin sulfate (CS) is a ubiquitous component of the cell surface and extracellular matrix of animal tissues. CS chains are covalently bound to a core protein to form a proteoglycan, which is involved in various biological events including cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

Systemic Glycosaminoglycan Clearance by HARE/Stabilin-2 Activates Intracellular Signaling
Scavenger receptors perform essential functions, critical to maintaining mammalian physiologic homeostasis by continuously clearing vast numbers of biomolecules from blood, interstitial fluid and lymph. Stabilin-2 (Stab2) and the Hyaluronic Acid Receptor

Specific structural features of syndecans and heparan sulfate chains are needed for cell signaling [PDF]
The syndecans, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, are abundant molecules associated with the cell surface and extracellular matrix and consist of a protein core to which heparan sulfate chains are covalently attached. Each of the syndecan core proteins has a
