Profiling Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Ovarian Carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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: Key Mediators of Stem Cell Function [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are an evolutionarily ancient subclass of glycoproteins with exquisite structural complexity. They are ubiquitously expressed across tissues and have been found to exert a multitude of effects on cell behavior and ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans present PCSK9 to the LDL receptor

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
PCSK9 interacts with LDL receptor, causing its degradation, and consequently reduces the clearance of LDL. Here, Gustafsen et al. show that PCSK9 interacts with heparan sulfate proteoglycans and this binding favors LDLR degradation.

Infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 depend on heparan sulfate proteoglycans. [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO J, 2021
The current pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and outbreaks of new variants highlight the need for preventive treatments. Here, we identified heparan sulfate proteoglycans as attachment receptors for SARS-CoV-

Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

Specific structural features of syndecans and heparan sulfate chains are needed for cell signaling [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
The syndecans, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, are abundant molecules associated with the cell surface and extracellular matrix and consist of a protein core to which heparan sulfate chains are covalently attached. Each of the syndecan core proteins has a

Heparan sulfate proteoglycan-dependent neutrophil chemotaxis toward PR-39 cathelicidin

open access: yesJournal of Inflammation, 2006
Cathelicidins are mammalian proteins containing a C-terminal cationic antimicrobial domain. Porcine PR-39 cathelicidin affects leukocyte biology.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans Biosynthesis and Post Synthesis Mechanisms Combine Few Enzymes and Few Core Proteins to Generate Extensive Structural and Functional Diversity

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Glycosylation is a common and widespread post-translational modification that affects a large majority of proteins. Of these, a small minority, about 20, are specifically modified by the addition of heparan sulfate, a linear polysaccharide from the ...
