Transcriptional activity of heparan sulfate biosynthetic machinery is specifically impaired in benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2014
Heparan sulfates (HS) are key components of mammalian cells surface and extracellular matrix. Structure and composition of HS, generated by HS biosynthetic system through non-template driven process, are significantly altered in cancer tissues.

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)

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.
