Cathepsin X binds to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans

open access: yes, 2005
Glycosaminoglycans have been shown to be important regulators of activity of several papain-like cathepsins. Binding of glycosaminoglycans to cathepsins thus directly affects catalytic activity, stability or the rate of autocatalytic activation of ...

APRIL limits atherosclerosis by binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans.

open access: yes, 2021
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease causes heart attacks and strokes, which are the leading causes of mortality worldwide1. The formation of atherosclerotic plaques is initiated when low-density lipoproteins bind to heparan-sulfate proteoglycans ...

The emerging role of the Hippo signaling pathway in interorgan crosstalk

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Hippo signaling functions as a central hub of interorgan communication. Systemic cues from the gut, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle—including hormones, metabolites, and microbial signals—regulate YAP/TAZ activity in a tissue‐ and context‐dependent manner.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans as Emerging Players in Synaptic Specificity

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Neural circuits consist of distinct neuronal cell types connected in specific patterns. The specificity of these connections is achieved in a series of sequential developmental steps that involve the targeting of neurites, the identification of synaptic ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Angiopoietin‐like protein 3 complete and partial deficiency markedly accelerates apolipoprotein B48 and B100 metabolism in triglyceride‐rich lipoproteins in humans

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Angiopoietin‐like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a key circulating regulator of triglyceride metabolism and a promising pharmacological target. The physiological consequences of profound ANGPTL3 deficiency can be explored in individuals with inherited loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants, who show reduced lifetime risk of atherosclerotic ...

Heparan sulfate in human cutaneous Meissner's and Pacinian corpuscles

open access: yes, 2020
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are pericellular/cell surface molecules involved in somatosensory axon guidance in the peripheral nervous system. However, the distribution of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix of human cutaneous ...

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Cell Secretomes and Extracellular Vesicles for Craniofacial Regenerative Applications

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The scoping review summarizes the current preclinical and clinical evidence for the use of “cell‐free” therapies in craniofacial (periodontal, bone and soft‐tissue) regeneration. It also aims to highlight key challenges and strategies towards the clinical translation of these therapies.

Multiple Administration of Dexamethasone Possesses a Deferred Long-Term Effect to Glycosylated Components of Mouse Brain

open access: yesNeurology International
Glucocorticoids are used during glioblastoma treatment to prevent the cerebral edema effect surrounding normal brain tissue. The aim of our study was to investigate the long-term effects of multiple administrations of glucocorticoids onto the ...
