A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Structural Diversity of Mammalian Hepatic Dermatan Sulfates.

open access: yesBiological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1993
Dermatan sulfate-proteoglycans (DS-PGs) were extracted from rabbit, rat and bovine defatted livers by magnesium chloride extraction and DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and then submitted successively to Asahipak GS-520 gel filtration chromatography, Asahipak ES-502N anion exchange chromatography, and cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis.

Development of new heparin-like compounds and other antithrombotic drugs and their interaction with vascular endothelial cells

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
The anticlotting and antithrombotic activities of heparin, heparan sulfate, low molecular weight heparins, heparin and heparin-like compounds from various sources used in clinical practice or under development are briefly reviewed.

RNF13 is a previously undescribed interactor of iduronate 2‐sulfatase that modifies its glycosylation and maturation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Iduronate 2‐sulfatase (IDS; purple) is expressed as a precursor protein that goes through multiple steps of maturation, modification, and trafficking to become an active lysosomal enzyme that degrades glycosaminoglycans. Our study shows that the transmembrane ubiquitin ligases RNF13 (orange) and RNF167 (pink) heterodimerize, affecting IDS intracellular

Multistage tandem mass spectrometry of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mass Spectrometry, 2011
Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) found in abundance in extracellular matrices. In connective tissue, CS/DS proteoglycans play structural roles in maintaining viscoelasticity through the large number of immobilized sulfate groups on CS/DS chains. CS/DS chains also bind protein families including growth factors and growth

Mucopolysaccharidosis VI

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2010
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is a lysosomal storage disease with progressive multisystem involvement, associated with a deficiency of arylsulfatase B leading to the accumulation of dermatan sulfate. Birth prevalence is between 1 in 43,261 and 1 in 1,

Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans Are Associated with the Lesions of Alzheimer\u27s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) are extracellular matrix proteins inhibitory to neurite outgrowth in vitro and correlated with decreased neurite outgrowth after CNS injury.

Antiproliferative activity of glycosaminoglycan-like polysaccharides derived from marine molluscs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite the increasing availability of new classes of cancer treatment, such as immuneand targeted therapies, there remains a need for the development of new antiproliferative/cytotoxic drugs with improved pharmacological profiles that can also ...

The Dual Immunoregulatory Role of CREB3L1 Underlying Latent and Severe Tuberculosis Clinical Manifestation

open access: yesImmunology, EarlyView.
RNA‐seq of lungs and livers from Mycobacterium tuberculosis‐infected mice with distinct disease outcomes revealed organ‐specific responses driven by differences in immune activity and bacterial burden. Meta‐analysis identified orthologous genes shared with human latent TB and mouse liver, with Creb3l1, Myo7b, Cyyr1 and Cbs differentially expressed and ...

Arterial heparan sulfate is negatively associated with hyperglycemia and atherosclerosis in diabetic monkeys

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2004
Background Arterial proteoglycans are implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by their ability to trap plasma lipoproteins in the arterial wall and by their influence on cellular migration, adhesion and proliferation.
