Proteoglycans and neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex during development and disease

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and heparan sulfate proteoglycans are major constituents of the extracellular matrix and the cell surface in the brain. Proteoglycans bind with many proteins including growth factors, chemokines, axon guidance molecules,

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Organoid Coculture Models for Cancer Research and Immunotherapy

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes organoid coculture platforms, including submerged Matrigel culture, air–liquid interface, microfluidic/organoid‐on‐a‐chip, and 3D bioprinting, for reconstructing the tumor microenvironment to study tumor–stroma/immune crosstalk, evaluate immunotherapies, and enable drug screening.

Control of cell division in the adult brain by heparan sulfates in fractones and vascular basement membranes [PDF]

, 2010
Regulation of cell division in adult tissues and organs requires the coordination of growth factors at the surface of potentially-dividing cells in specific anatomic loci named germinal niches.

The FGF/FGFR System in the Biology and Therapeutic Landscape of Pediatric CNS Tumors

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children, comprising a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by distinct molecular alterations and clinical behaviors. Advances in molecular genetics have underscored the relevance of specific signaling pathways in driving pediatric tumorigenesis, among ...

Properdin Pattern Recognition on Proximal Tubular Cells Is Heparan Sulfate/Syndecan-1 but Not C3b Dependent and Can Be Blocked by Tick Protein Salp20

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Introduction: Proteinuria contributes to progression of renal damage, partly by complement activation on proximal tubular epithelial cells. By pattern recognition, properdin has shown to bind to heparan sulfate proteoglycans on tubular epithelium and can

The Histidine 382 Residue Influences the Thermal Stability and Binding Propensity of the E2 Domain of Amyloid Precursor Protein

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The E2 domain of amyloid precursor protein (APP_E2) plays a central role in the protein's function. We reinvestigate how the missense mutation, ΔH382L, affects the domain's thermal stability and ligand binding propensity through differential scanning fluorometry.

Lipoprotein lipase enhances the interaction of low density lipoproteins with artery-derived extracellular matrix proteoglycans

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
The association of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) with arterial proteoglycans (PG) is of key importance in LDL retention and modification in the artery wall.

Rapid and Efficient Affinity Isolation of Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Encapsulating Functional Proteins via Internal Twin‐Strep Tetraspanin Tagging

Small, EarlyView.
Structure‐guided internal twin‐Strep tagging of the tetraspanins CD63 or CD9 enables rapid and efficient antibody‐free affinity isolation of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) using Strep technology while allowing luminal protein loading. The approach removes over 96% of contaminants, separates tagged EVs from coexisting viral particles, and ...
