The podocyte and the proteoglycan [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2016
proteoglycans (PGs) consist of a core protein and linear sugar side chains [glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)] attached to the core protein, e.g., agrin, perlecan, glypican, and syndecan. GAGs comprise repeating duplex sugar units made of an aminosugar (e.g., N -acetylglucosamine or N -acetylgalactosamine)

Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2018
In this editorial to MDPI Pharmaceuticals special issue “Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans” we describe in outline the common structural features of glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of proteoglycans, including the intracellular proteoglycan, serglycin, cell-surface proteoglycans, like syndecans and glypicans, and the extracellular matrix ...

Intra-individual comparison of human ankle and knee chondrocytes in vitro: relevance for talar cartilage repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
OBJECTIVE: As compared to knee chondrocytes (KC), talar chondrocytes (TC) have superior synthetic activity and increased resistance to catabolic stimuli. We investigated whether these properties are maintained after TC are isolated and expanded in vitro.

The Effect of Intense Exercise on Equine Serum Proteoglycan-4/Lubricin

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Objective: Local biological and biomechanical-stimuli modulate proteoglycan-4 secretion within synovial joints. For the horse, changes to proteoglycan-4 concentration and function are notable in acute joint injury and osteoarthritis. Proteoglycan-4 (also

Proteoglycans and catabolic products of proteoglycans present in ligament [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2005
The aim of the present study was to characterize the proteoglycans and catabolic products of proteoglycans present in the tensile region of ligament and explant cultures of this tissue, and to compare these with those observed in the tensile region of tendon. Approx.

Metabolism and turnover of cell surface-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in normal and cholesterol-enriched macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Analysis of sulfur-35-labeled proteoglycans indicated that cholesterol-enriched pigeon peritoneal macrophages synthesized 42% more 35S-labeled proteoglycan when compared with control macrophages during a 24-hour incubation.
