Holothurian Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2014
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FucCS) is a structurally distinct glycosaminoglycan found in sea cucumber species. It has the same backbone composition of alternating 4-linked glucuronic acid and 3-linked N-acetyl galactosamine residues within disaccharide repeating units as regularly found in mammalian chondroitin sulfates.

Syndecan-1 regulates the biological activities of interleukin-34 [PDF]

, 2015
IL-34 is a challenging cytokine sharing functional similarities with M-CSF through M-CSFR activation. It also plays a singular role that has recently been explained in the brain, through a binding to the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase RPTPβ/ζ. The

Avian neural crest cell migration is diversely regulated by the two major hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans PG-M/versican and aggrecan [PDF]

, 2000
It has been proposed that hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans play an important role as guiding cues during neural crest (NC) cell migration, but their precise function has not been elucidated.

Biomolecules that impact phenotypic transitions in fibroblasts and macrophages [PDF]

, 2016
Macrophages and fibroblasts are intricately involved in many biological responses. The foreign body response (FBR) is orchestrated by macrophages, wherein the phenotypes of these macrophages exist plastically along a spectrum from M1, proinflammatory ...

Catabolism of chondroitin sulfate

Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters, 2015
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.

THE OCCURRENCE OF INTRACELLULAR CHONDROITIN SULFATE [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1963
Suspensions of chondrocytes were prepared by treatment with trypsin of the epiphyses of tibias and femurs of 13-day-old chick embryos. After washing to remove the matrix, such suspensions readily incorporate radioactive sulfate into both intracellular and extracellular chondroitin sulfate.
