Alveolar heparan sulfate shedding impedes recovery from bleomycin-induced lung injury.
American Journal of Physiology - Lung cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2020 The pulmonary epithelial glycocalyx, an anionic cell-surface layer enriched in glycosaminoglycans such as heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, contributes to the alveolar barrier.

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,

Syndecan-4 knockout leads to reduced extracellular transglutaminase-2 and protects against tubulointerstitial fibrosis [PDF]
, 2013 Transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) is an extracellular matrix crosslinking enzyme with a pivotal role in kidney fibrosis. The interaction of TG2 with the heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 (Sdc4) regulates the cell surface trafficking, localization, and ...

Heparan sulfate is a plasma biomarker of acute cellular allograft rejection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Despite advances in management of immunosuppression, graft rejection remains a significant clinical problem in solid organ transplantation. Non-invasive biomarkers of graft rejection can facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection.

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 ...

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 ...
