The β-d-Endoglucuronidase Heparanase Is a Danger Molecule That Drives Systemic Inflammation and Correlates with Clinical Course after Open and Endovascular Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Lessons Learnt from Mice and Men

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is a highly lethal disorder requiring open or endovascular TAAA repair, both of which are rare, but extensive and complex surgical procedures associated with a significant systemic inflammatory response and high ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesHepatology, 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 ...

A critical role for lymphatic endothelial heparan sulfate in lymph node metastasis

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2010
Background Lymph node metastasis constitutes a key event in tumor progression. The molecular control of this process is poorly understood. Heparan sulfate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of unique sulfate-modified disaccharide repeats that allow ...

Removal of cell surface heparan sulfate increases TACE activity and cleavage of ErbB4 receptor

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2009
Background Nuclear localization of proteolytically formed intracellular fragment of ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinase has been shown to promote cell survival, and nuclear localization of ErbB4 receptor has been described in human breast cancer.

Heparin and Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesIUBMB Life, 2002
AbstractHeparan sulfate is one of the most informationally rich biopolymers in Nature. Its simple sugar backbone is variously modified to different degrees depending on the cellular conditions. Thus, it matures to have an enormously complicated structure, which most likely exhibits a considerable number of unique overlapping sequences with peculiar ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans at a glance [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2007
Proteoglycans are abundant components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix that mediate critical interactions between cells and their environment. They play a variety of biological roles in normal tissues and in response to injury and disease.
