Directing Neuronal Signaling through Cell-Surface Glycan Engineering
The ability to tailor plasma membranes with specific glycans may enable the control of signaling events that are critical for proper development and function. We report a method to modify cell surfaces with specific sulfated chondroitin sulfate (CS) glycosaminoglycans using chemically modified liposomes. Neurons engineered to display CS-E-enriched polysaccharides exhibited increased activation ...
متن کاملNeuronal signaling through endocytosis.
The distinctive morphology of neurons, with complex dendritic arbors and extensive axons, presents spatial challenges for intracellular signal transduction. The endosomal system provides mechanisms that enable signaling molecules initiated by extracellular cues to be trafficked throughout the expanse of the neuron, allowing intracellular signals to be sustained over long distances. Therefore en...
متن کاملDirecting neuronal cell growth on implant material surfaces by microstructuring.
For best hearing sensation, electrodes of auditory prosthesis must have an optimal electrical contact to the respective neuronal cells. To improve the electrode-nerve interface, microstructuring of implant surfaces could guide neuronal cells toward the electrode contact. To this end, femtosecond laser ablation was used to generate linear microgrooves on the two currently relevant cochlear impla...
متن کاملDNA-mediated cell surface engineering for multiplexed glycan profiling using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
Glycans are crucial for many key biological processes and their alterations are often a hallmark of disease. Thus, multiplexed and sensitive analysis of glycans is of intense interest. Here we report a novel approach using DNA-mediated cell surface engineering for glycan profiling by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS). Following lectin binding, DNA amplification and hybridization, glycans on the ...
متن کاملGlycan Remodeling of Human Erythropoietin (EPO) Through Combined Mammalian Cell Engineering and Chemoenzymatic Transglycosylation.
The tremendous structural heterogeneity of N-glycosylation of glycoproteins poses a great challenge for deciphering the biological functions of specific glycoforms and for developing protein-based therapeutics. We have previously reported a chemoenzymatic glycan remodeling method for producing homogeneous glycoforms of N-glycoproteins including intact antibodies, which consist of endoglycosidas...
