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 ...

Glypican-1, Phosphacan/Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase-ζ/β and its Ligand, Tenascin-C, are Expressed by Neural Stem Cells and Neural Cells Derived from Embryonic Stem Cells

ASN Neuro, 2010
The heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican-1, the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan phosphacan/RPTP (receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase)-ζ/β and the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C were all found to be expressed by neural stem cells and by ...

Viral pathogens hitchhike with insect sperm for paternal transmission

Nature Communications, 2019
Arbovirus vertical transmission is commonly mediated by transovarial passage of female insect vectors. Here, the authors show that Rice gall dwarf virus can be transmitted by male leafhoppers via interactions of the viral capsid and heparan sulfate ...

Charge Characteristics of Agouti-Related Protein Implicate Potent Involvement of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Metabolic Function. [PDF]

, 2019
The endogenous melanocortin peptide agouti-related protein (AgRP) plays a well-known role in foraging, but its contribution to metabolic regulation is less understood.

Syndecan-1 downregulates syndecan-4 expression by suppressing the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in cultured vascular endothelial cells

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Syndecan-1 and syndecan-4 are members of the syndecan family of transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Vascular endothelial cells synthesize both species of proteoglycans and use them to regulate the blood coagulation-fibrinolytic system and their ...

Profiling Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Ovarian Carcinoma [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2005
: 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 ...

Isolation, characterization, and substrate properties of the external limiting membrane from the avian embryonic optic tectum [PDF]

, 1990
The external limiting membrane of the avian embryonic optic tectum is isolated by mechanically separating the neuronal mesencephalon from the overlying mesenchymal tissue.

Lipolysis of very low density lipoproteins by heparan sulfate proteoglycan-bound lipoprotein lipase

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
An in vitro assay to study lipolysis of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) by heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG-bound lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was developed.

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.

Heparan sulfate modulates neutrophil and endothelial function in antibacterial innate immunity [PDF]

, 2015
Recently, we showed that endothelial heparan sulfate facilitates entry of a bacterial pathogen into the central nervous system. Here, we show that normal bactericidal activity of neutrophils is influenced by the sulfation pattern of heparan sulfate ...
