Alterations in heparan sulfate proteoglycan synthesis and sulfation and the impact on vascular endothelial function

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2022
The glycocalyx attached to the apical surface of vascular endothelial cells is a rich network of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins with instrumental roles in vascular homeostasis.

Heparan Sulfate: A Regulator of White Adipocyte Differentiation and of Vascular/Adipocyte Interactions

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
White adipose tissues are major endocrine organs that release factors, termed adipokines, which affect other major organ systems. The development and functions of adipose tissues depend largely upon the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans: Master Regulators of Cellular Signaling, Tissue Development, and Neural Function. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neurosci Res
Ubiquitous cell‐associated, cytoplasmic, synaptic and extracellular matrix HS‐proteoglycans are multifunctional regulators of tissue form and function. HS‐proteoglycans have diverse functions as growth factor co‐receptors in cell proliferation, differentiation, tissue development, mechanical stabilization, synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and ...

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans at a glance [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2007
Proteoglycans are abundant components of the cell surface and extracellular matrix that mediate critical interactions between cells and their environment. They play a variety of biological roles in normal tissues and in response to injury and disease.

Agrin Is a Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
In the present study we have identified the extracellular matrix protein agrin as a major heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) in embryonic chick brain. Using monoclonal antibodies and a polyclonal antiserum to the core protein of a previously identified HSPG from embryonic chick brain, our expression screened a random-primed E9 chick brain cDNA library.

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

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 ...
