Bioengineered heparins and heparan sulfates [PDF]

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2016
Heparin and heparan sulfates are closely related linear anionic polysaccharides, called glycosaminoglycans, which exhibit a number of important biological and pharmacological activities. These polysaccharides, having complex structures and polydispersity, are biosynthesized in the Golgi of animal cells.

Development of new heparin-like compounds and other antithrombotic drugs and their interaction with vascular endothelial cells

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
The anticlotting and antithrombotic activities of heparin, heparan sulfate, low molecular weight heparins, heparin and heparin-like compounds from various sources used in clinical practice or under development are briefly reviewed.

Research Note: Effect of selection for body weight on the adipogenic conversion of turkey myogenic satellite cells by Syndecan-4 and its covalently attached N-glycosylation chains

Poultry Science, 2020
: Adult myoblasts, satellite cells, will proliferate, and differentiate into myotubes in vitro. However, changes in environmental and nutritional conditions will result in the satellite cells differentiating into adipocyte-like cells synthesizing lipids.

Heparan sulfates and heparan sulfate proteoglycans in hematopoiesis

Blood
Abstract From signaling mediators in stem cells to markers of differentiation and lineage commitment to facilitators for the entry of viruses, such as HIV-1, cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) glycans with distinct modification patterns play important roles in hematopoietic biology.

Molecular diversity of heparan sulfate [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2001
Heparan sulfate (HS) appeared early in metazoan evolution. As such, many of the structural motifs (variably sulfated disaccharide subunits) that characterize HS (and heparin) were established early on and have been preserved in modern organisms. Thus, many of the biological functions associated with HS either occurred early in evolution or have ...

Altered heparan sulfate metabolism during development triggers dopamine-dependent autistic-behaviours in models of lysosomal storage disorders

Nature Communications, 2021
Lysosomal storage disorders, characterized by altered metabolism of heparan sulfate, cause autistic symptoms followed by dementia in children. Here, the authors show that embryonic dopaminergic neurodevelopmental defects due to altered function of ...

Calcium dobesilate reduces SARS-CoV-2 entry into endothelial cells by inhibiting virus binding to heparan sulfate

Scientific Reports, 2022
Recent reports demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 utilizes cell surface heparan sulfate as an attachment factor to facilitate the initial interaction with host cells.

Protease, Growth Factor, and Heparanase-Mediated Syndecan-1 Shedding Leads to Enhanced HSV-1 Egress

Viruses, 2021
Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are considered important for the entry of many different viruses. Previously, we demonstrated that heparanase (HPSE), the host enzyme responsible for cleaving HS chains, is upregulated by ...

Specific structural features of syndecans and heparan sulfate chains are needed for cell signaling [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
The syndecans, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, are abundant molecules associated with the cell surface and extracellular matrix and consist of a protein core to which heparan sulfate chains are covalently attached. Each of the syndecan core proteins has a
