Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Tauopathy
Biomolecules, 2022 Tauopathies are a class of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, and are characterized by intraneuronal tau inclusion in the brain and the patient’s cognitive decline with obscure pathogenesis.

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

Differential expression of proteoglycans in tissue remodeling and lymphangiogenesis after experimental renal transplantation in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Chronic transplant dysfunction explains the majority of late renal allograft loss and is accompanied by extensive tissue remodeling leading to transplant vasculopathy, glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Matrix proteoglycans mediate

Novel Insight Into Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis Based on Gene Expression Profiles
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, and keratan sulfate, except for hyaluronan that is a free polysaccharide, are covalently attached to core proteins to form proteoglycans.
