Dexamethasone effects on the expression and content of glycosylated components of mouse brain tissue
Introduction. Glucocorticoids are actively used in the treatment of various diseases, however their long-term use leads to numerous negative side-effects, the molecular mechanisms of which remain poorly understood.Aim. Study of the short-term (1–10 days)

Profiling Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Ovarian Carcinoma [PDF]
: heparan sulfate, proteoglycans, syndecan, glypican, perlecan, ovarian carcinoma, angiogenesis, prognostic factors Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are ubiquitously expressed cell surface and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules consisting of a core protein covalently attached to the structurally complex glycosaminoglycan, heparan sulfate (HS ...

A monoclonal antibody that blocks the activity of a neurite regeneration-promoting factor: studies on the binding site and its localization in vivo [PDF]
Work from several laboratories has identified a proteoglycan complex secreted by a variety of non-neuronal cells that can promote neurite regeneration when applied to the surface of culture dishes.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Clustering in Wnt Signaling and Dispersal
Wnt, a family of secreted signal proteins, serves diverse functions in animal development, stem cell systems, and carcinogenesis. Although Wnt is generally considered a morphogen, the mechanism by which Wnt ligands disperse is still debated.

Glycosaminoglycans in the human cornea: age-related changes [PDF]
AIM: To investigate possible age-related changes in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the human cornea. The substances today called GAGs were previously referred to as mucopolysaccharides.

Heparanase affects food intake and regulates energy balance in mice. [PDF]
Mutation of the melanocortin-receptor 4 (MC4R) is the most frequent cause of severe obesity in humans. Binding of agouti-related peptide (AgRP) to MC4R involves the co-receptor syndecan-3, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan.

RNA-Seq identifies SPGs as a ventral skeletal patterning cue in sea urchins [PDF]
The sea urchin larval skeleton offers a simple model for formation of developmental patterns. The calcium carbonate skeleton is secreted by primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) in response to largely unknown patterning cues expressed by the ectoderm.

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan grip on hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis [PDF]
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are found at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, where they interact with a plethora of proteins involved in lipid homeostasis and inflammation. Over the last decade, new insights have emerged regarding the mechanism and biological significance of these interactions in the context of cardiovascular disease ...
