Iron oxide-coupled CRISPR-nCas9-based genome editing assessment in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA mice
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GALNS gene that leads to the lysosomal accumulation of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin 6-sulfate, causing skeletal dysplasia and cardiopulmonary complications.

Proteomics for rejection diagnosis in renal transplant patients: where are we now? [PDF]
Rejection is one of the key factors that determine the long-term allograft function and survival in renal transplant patients. Reliable and timely diagnosis is important to treat rejection as early as possible.

Abstract Protein-keratan sulfate core was isolated from bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan after enzymatically removing chondroitin sulfate with chondroitinase AC from Flavobacterium heparinum. The core preparation exhibited a broad, approximately Gaussian distribution of buoyant densities in CsCl density gradients (between 1.43 and 1.58 g per ml with

This study identifies ESM1 as an endogenous anticoagulant that modulates venous thrombosis. It shows that ESM1 deficiency triggers vascular occlusion in zebrafish and mice, whereas its restoration or overexpression prolongs clot‐formation time. Mechanistic analyses reveal that ESM1 activates HCII through its dermatan‐sulfate chain, uncovering a ...

The Sea as a Rich Source of Structurally Unique Glycosaminoglycans and Mimetics
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are sulfated glycans capable of regulating various biological and medical functions. Heparin, heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate and hyaluronan are the principal classes of GAGs found in ...

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]
We report evidence that gene complexes, consisting of polycations and plasmid DNA enter cells via binding to membrane-associated proteoglycans. Treatment of HeLa cells with sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, reduced luciferase

Keratan Sulfate in Neuronal Network Reconstruction
ケラタン硫酸は2糖の繰り返し構造を単位とするグリコサミノグリカンの一つであり、コアプロテインに共有結合することによりケラタン硫酸プロテオグリカンを生ずる。ケラタン硫酸プロテオグリカンは元来角膜抽出物において発見され、また関節軟骨中において豊富に見出されたため、これら組織における構造や生物学的機能が注目されてきた。しかし1980年代に入り中枢神経系においても見出され、神経系の発達や疾患における働きが注目を集めてきた。現在、ケラタン硫酸プロテオグリカンは生理的および損傷後神経可塑性を制御する主要な分子の一つとして受け入れられ始めている。

ABSTRACT Articular cartilage regeneration remains a significant challenge because of its limited intrinsic healing capacity and the inadequacy of conventional treatments for restoring structural and functional integrity. In this study, a novel injectable composite hydrogel scaffold was designed to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native ...

Long-Term Liver-Targeted AAV8 Gene Therapy for Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disease with an autosomal recessive trait caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme, which leads to the accumulation of chondroitin-6-sulfate and ...
