Keratan Sulfate Promotes Periodontitis Progression Via Tlr4/Nf-Κb Pathway

open access: yesInternational Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: To explore the metabolic level and regulatory mechanism of keratan sulfate (KS) in periodontitis progression. Materials and methods: KS secretion levels and FUT8 and CHST2 expression, alongside neutrophil and plasma cell infiltration ...

Enzyme replacement in a human model of mucopolysaccharidosis IVA in vitro and its biodistribution in the cartilage of wild type mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase (GALNS), an enzyme that degrades keratan sulfate (KS). Currently no therapy for MPS IVA is available.

The role of transforming growth factor-beta in keratan sulfate metabolism in rabbit articular chondrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Keratan sulfate is the specific molecule in glycosaminoglycan, which is the matrix of articular cartilage, and is produced by chondrocytes. There is evidence that levels of serum keratan sulfate might reflect turnover of articular cartilage in vivo.

Selective loss of cerebral keratan sulfate in Alzheimer's disease

open access: yes, 1996
Proteoglycans, especially heparan sulfate-substituted species, are known to be associated with the deposition of amyloid in Alzheimer's disease, We previously found that heparan sulfate from afflicted brains, and from control subjects, differed minimally

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 40, 18 May 2026.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Three-dimensional culture of human meniscal cells: Extracellular matrix and proteoglycan production

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2008
Background The meniscus is a complex tissue whose cell biology has only recently begun to be explored. Published models rely upon initial culture in the presence of added growth factors. The aim of this study was to test a three-dimensional (3D) collagen

Histamine H2 receptor mediates keratan sulfate secretion in rabbit chondrocytes: role of cAMP

open access: yes, 1993
We obtained evidence for the presence of a single class of histamine H2 receptor on rabbit chondrocytes. Stimulation of these receptors with specific H2 agonists led to an inhibition of keratan sulfate secretion and rapid (15 min) accumulation of ...

FGF23 and Immune Cell Signatures Causally Linked to Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Evidence From Multi‐Omics and Genetic Colocalization

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Causal links identified between five inflammatory proteins, 22 immune cell types, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) via Mendelian randomization. Multi‐omics integration (pQTL, eQTL) revealed regulatory mechanisms underlying inflammation in SAH. FGF23 and CD4 Tregs emerged as key therapeutic targets, supported by colocalization and replication analysis.

Evaluation of AAV vectors with tissue-specific or ubiquitous promoters in a mouse model of mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) is caused by a deficiency of N-acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), leading to the accumulation of keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate and development of severe skeletal dysplasia.

Dimethylmethylene Blue Assay (DMMB)

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2014
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long unbranched polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units composed of a hexosamine (glucosamine or galactosamine) and a hexuronic acid (glucuronic or iduronic acid).
