Differential expression of proteoglycans in tissue remodeling and lymphangiogenesis after experimental renal transplantation in rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Chronic transplant dysfunction explains the majority of late renal allograft loss and is accompanied by extensive tissue remodeling leading to transplant vasculopathy, glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Matrix proteoglycans mediate

Opticin Binds to Heparan and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2005
The extracellular matrix glycoprotein opticin is a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan/protein family member that was discovered associated with vitreous humor collagen fibrils. Opticin is present throughout the vitreous, but is particularly concentrated at the internal limiting lamina, where it colocalizes with type XVIII collagen.

Physiological pH Transition‐Driven Protein Corona Dynamics Regulate Cellular Uptake and Inflammatory Responses of Silica Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Physiological pH transitions modulate protein corona dynamics on nanoparticles, altering their cellular uptake and inflammatory responses. Acidic pHs enhance protein adsorption, induce structural changes, and promote cellular uptake. Simultaneously, inflammatory responses are reduced due to altered protein composition, including decreased ...

Glypican-1, Phosphacan/Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase-ζ/β and its Ligand, Tenascin-C, are Expressed by Neural Stem Cells and Neural Cells Derived from Embryonic Stem Cells

ASN Neuro, 2010
The heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican-1, the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan phosphacan/RPTP (receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase)-ζ/β and the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C were all found to be expressed by neural stem cells and by ...

Retinal Proteoglycans Act as Cellular Receptors for Basement Membrane Assembly to Control Astrocyte Migration and Angiogenesis

Cell Reports, 2016
The basement membrane is crucial for cell polarity, adhesion, and motility, but how it is assembled on the cell surface remains unclear. Here, we find that ablation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains of proteoglycans in the neuroretina disrupts the ...

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Is a Mechanosensor on Endothelial Cells [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2003
The objective of this study was to test whether a glycosaminoglycan component of the surface glycocalyx layer is a fluid shear stress sensor on endothelial cells (ECs). Because enhanced nitric oxide (NO) production in response to fluid shear stress is a characteristic and physiologically important response of ECs, we evaluated NO

RIPK1 Drives JAK1‐STAT3 Signaling to Promote CXCL1‐Mediated Neutrophil Recruitment in Sepsis‐Induced Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article examines the central role of RIPK1 in the pathogenesis of sepsis‐induced lung injury. It elucidates how RIPK1 initiates an inflammatory cascade by activating JAK1‐STAT3 signaling, leading to CXCL1‐mediated neutrophil infiltration. Importantly, it demonstrates that pharmacological inhibition of RIPK1 effectively attenuates inflammation and ...

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,

Engineering Bacteria as Living Therapeutics in Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through synthetic biology approaches, natural bacteria can be genetically programmed into multifunctional living therapeutics. These engineered bacteria are capable of secreting anti‐tumor factors, displaying tumor‐associated antigens on their surface, or undergoing programmed self‐lysis to release therapeutic cargo.

Spotlight on the Transglutaminase 2-Heparan Sulfate Interaction

Medical Sciences, 2019
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), syndecan-4 (Sdc4) especially, have been suggested as potential partners of transglutaminase-2 (TG2) in kidney and cardiac fibrosis, metastatic cancer, neurodegeneration and coeliac disease.
