Cytokines play an important regulatory role in the metabolism of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are found in plasma membranes, but predominantly in the extra-cellular matrix. In the latter they are quantitatively and qualitatively essential components. Especially in a tissue like cartilage without any blood vessels, the cells are dependent on cytokines ...

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1996
Studies of proteoglycans for their capacity to perform the function of steric exclusion of cells are reviewed. The ability of the proteoglycans hyaluronic acid and protein-chrondroitinkeratosulfate and their aggregates to effect cell aggregation and steric exclusion is determined by the structure of glycosaminoglycan components and the amount of ...

The Immunology of Proteoglycans
Connective Tissue Research, 1982This discussion will touch on some of the central features of proteoglycan (PG) immunology and suggest that despite the recent introduction of very sophisticated immunochemical techniques, this remains a problematic field. As I shall indicate, there are difficulties in understanding the immunological properties of PGs which are due to the nature of PG,

CANCER AND METASTASIS REVIEW, 1988
There is a growing realization that the whole tumor cell-matrix complex must be investigated in order to fully understand the process of cancer growth and metastasis. Proteoglycans are intrinsic constituents of the cell surface, extracellular matrix, and basement membrane, three logistically and functionally important structures involved in most ...

Proteoglycan Isolation and Analysis
Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2000AbstractProteoglycans can be difficult molecules to isolate and analyze due to large mass, charge, and tendency to aggregate or form macromolecular complexes. This unit describes detailed methods for purification of matrix, cell surface, and cytoskeleton‐linked proteoglycans.

Tenascin and proteoglycans: the role of tenascin and proteoglycans in canine tumours
Research in Veterinary Science, 2002Tenascin is a high molecular weight, extracellular matrix glycoprotein, subject to complex spatial and temporal patterns of expression during embryogenesis, wound healing and neoplastic processes. Proteoglycans are complex macromolecules, containing one or more glycosaminoglycans attached to a core protein, which are involved in cell-cell and cell ...

Proteoglycans and Brain Repair
Physiology, 2004Proteoglycans are complex molecules composed of long, unbranched sugar chains attached to a protein core. In the mammalian central nervous system, they are a major component of the extracellular matrix and of the cellular surface. After a central nervous system injury, their expression in the lesion area changes strongly and contributes to the ...

5 Proteoglycans in Development
1991Publisher Summary In this chapter, the proteoglycans are divided on the basis of emerging gene families that encode the different core proteins. Emphasis is placed on the proteoglycans that are clearly involved in developmental processes. The large amount of heterogeneity in proteoglycan structure provides a number of means of classifying the ...
