Pathogens that infect mammalian cells via sulfonated glycosaminoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Sulfonated glycosaminoglycans, such as heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, form major components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix, and display vital roles in mammalian physiology, including growth and development.

Age-Specific Excretion of Calcium, Oxalate, Citrate, and Glycosaminoglycans and Their Ratios in Healthy Children and Children with Urolithiasis

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
We analyzed children with urolithiasis with age- and gender-matched healthy children. Calcium (mmol/mmol creatinine) and the calcium/citrate ratio (mol/mmol) are the only variables that differentiate children before puberty from healthy children (ROC ...

Click-Chemistry-Assisted Alteration of Glycosaminoglycans for Biological Applications

open access: yesSynOpen, 2023
This short review describes the assistance of click chemistry in the chemical modification of glycosaminoglycans. Through an alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, the chemically and physiologically stable triazole unit connects ...

High sensitivity analysis of nanogram quantities of glycosaminoglycans using ToF-SIMS

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry, 2021
Glycosaminoglycans are an important class of carbohydrates, but pose substantial analytical challenges. Here ToF-SIMS combined with multivariate analysis distinguishes six classes of glycosaminoglycans, including distinguishing heparin samples from ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis

open access: yesTaiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Mucopolysaccharidosis are group of inherited metabolic diseases caused by the absence or malfunctioning of lysosomal enzymes resulting in accumulation of glycosaminoglycans. Over time this accumulation damages cells, tissues, and organs.

IR action spectroscopy of glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a physio- and pharmacologically highly relevant class of complex saccharides, possessing a linear sequence and strongly acidic character.

Modeling extracellular matrix through histo-molecular gradient in NSCLC for clinical decisions

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Lung cancer still represents a global health problem, being the main type of tumor responsible for cancer deaths. In this context, the tumor microenvironment, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) pose as extremely relevant.

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We report evidence that gene complexes, consisting of polycations and plasmid DNA enter cells via binding to membrane-associated proteoglycans. Treatment of HeLa cells with sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, reduced luciferase
