Altered distribution of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in psoriasis. [PDF]
Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1997 Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are components of the basement membrane (BM) of various tissues. They consist of a core protein and negatively charged glycosaminoglycan side chains: the heparan sulfate (HS) moieties. In psoriasis, uninvolved skin of psoriasis patients and in normal skin, the distribution of HSPGs was studied immunohistochemically

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 ...

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Human Colorectal Cancer. [PDF]
Anal Cell Pathol (Amst), 2018 Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, accounting for more than 610,000 mortalities every year. Prognosis of patients is highly dependent on the disease stage at diagnosis. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate molecules involved in colorectal cancer tumorigenesis, with possible use as tumor markers.

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan grip on hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis [PDF]
Matrix Biology, 2018 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 ...

Immunopurification and characterization of a neuronal heparan sulfate proteoglycan [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1985 We have identified a unique heparan sulfate (HeS) proteoglycan synthesized by the neuronal-like cell line PC12. The proteoglycan, purified with monoclonal antibodies from medium conditioned by PC12 cells, has an apparent molecular weight of 350,000, and it contains a Mr 80,000 core protein and HeS side chains of Mr 15,000 each.

Inhibition of Heparan Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Biosynthesis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Proteoglycans (PGs) are composed of a protein moiety and a complex glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharide moiety. GAG chains are responsible for various biological activities. GAG chains are covalently attached to serine residues of the core protein. The first step in PG biosynthesis is xylosylation of certain serine residues of the core protein.

Developmental roles of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in Drosophila [PDF]
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2002 The formation of complex patterns in multi-cellular organisms is regulated by a number of signaling pathways. In particular, the Wnt and Hedgehog (Hh) pathways have been identified as critical organizers of pattern in many tissues. Although extensive biochemical and genetic studies have elucidated the central components of the signal transduction ...

Heparan sulfates and heparan sulfate proteoglycans in hematopoiesis
BloodAbstract 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.

Microbial Subversion of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans
Molecules and Cells, 2008 The interactions between the host and microbial pathogen largely dictate the onset, progression, and outcome of infectious diseases. Pathogens subvert host components to promote their pathogenesis and, among these, cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are exploited by many pathogens for their initial attachment and subsequent cellular entry.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Infection
, 2011 To cause infections, microbial pathogens elaborate a multitude of factors that interact with host components. Using these host–pathogen interactions to their advantage, pathogens attach, invade, disseminate, and evade host defense mechanisms to promote their survival in the hostile host environment.
