Heparan Sulfate-Dependent Enhancement of Henipavirus Infection

mBio, 2015
Nipah virus and Hendra virus are emerging, highly pathogenic, zoonotic paramyxoviruses that belong to the genus Henipavirus. They infect humans as well as numerous mammalian species.

Heparan Sulfate: A Regulator of White Adipocyte Differentiation and of Vascular/Adipocyte Interactions

Biomedicines, 2022
White adipose tissues are major endocrine organs that release factors, termed adipokines, which affect other major organ systems. The development and functions of adipose tissues depend largely upon the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate.

MASP-2 Is a Heparin-Binding Protease; Identification of Blocking Oligosaccharides

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
It is well-known that heparin and other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) inhibit complement activation. It is however not known whether fractionation and/or modification of GAGs might deliver pathway-specific inhibition of the complement system.

Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

Alterations in heparan sulfate proteoglycan synthesis and sulfation and the impact on vascular endothelial function

Matrix Biology Plus, 2022
The glycocalyx attached to the apical surface of vascular endothelial cells is a rich network of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins with instrumental roles in vascular homeostasis.

GlycoRNA complexed with heparan sulfate regulates VEGF-A signalling. [PDF]

Nature
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) have been recognized as key plasma membrane-tethered co-receptors for a broad range of growth factors and cytokines containing cationic heparan-binding domains1,2.

Heparan Sulfate Structure in Mice with Genetically Modified Heparan Sulfate Production [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Using a high throughput heparan sulfate (HS) isolation and characterization protocol, we have analyzed HS structure in several tissues from mice/mouse embryos deficient in HS biosynthesis enzymes (N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase (NDST)-1, NDST-2, and C5-epimerase, respectively) and in mice lacking syndecan-1.

Heparan sulfate: Antithrombotic or not? [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003
With their studies in 3-OST-1 knockout mice, HajMohammadi and colleagues (15) have advanced our understanding of the pathways that regulate thrombin. Antithrombin is critical for thrombin regulation because even partial deficiency is associated with thrombosis.
