Syndecan-4 knockout leads to reduced extracellular transglutaminase-2 and protects against tubulointerstitial fibrosis [PDF]

, 2014
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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Molecular Modelling of the Complex Polysaccharide Heparan Sulphate [PDF]

Heparan Sulphate plays an important role in many life processes and so an understanding of its role as a universal co-receptor is of great importance. Traditionally oligosaccharides derived from the related molecule heparin have been at the forefront of

Heparin and Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis [PDF]

IUBMB 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]

Journal 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.
