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

Frontiers 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 ...

Agrin Is a Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
In the present study we have identified the extracellular matrix protein agrin as a major heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) in embryonic chick brain. Using monoclonal antibodies and a polyclonal antiserum to the core protein of a previously identified HSPG from embryonic chick brain, our expression screened a random-primed E9 chick brain cDNA library.

Requirements for receptor engagement during infection by adenovirus complexed with blood coagulation factor X [PDF]

, 2010
Human adenoviruses from multiple species bind to coagulation factor X (FX), yet the importance of this interaction in adenovirus dissemination is unknown.

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

Molecular 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

BMC 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.

Heparan sulfate signaling in cancer [PDF]

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2014
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a biopolymer consisting of variably sulfated repeating disaccharide units. The anticoagulant heparin is a highly sulfated intracellular variant of HS. HS has demonstrated roles in embryonic development, homeostasis, and human disease via non-covalent interactions with numerous cellular proteins, including growth factors and ...

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and Their Endogenous Modifying Enzymes: Cancer Players, Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets

, 2020
In recent decades, evidence has accumulated implicating heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in tumor initiation and progression. Ubiquitously present at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, HSPGs are composed of a protein core with ...

Accumulation of Ym1 and formation of intracellular crystalline bodies in alveolar macrophages lacking heparanase [PDF]

, 2010
Heparanase is a heparan sulfate (HS) degrading endoglucuronidase that has been implicated in cell migration and inflammatory conditions. Here we used mice deficient of heparanase (Hpse−/−) to study the impact of heparanase on airway leukocytes.
