Estradiol induces heparanase-1 expression and heparan sulphate proteoglycan degradation in human endometrium.
BACKGROUND This study seeks to determine whether estrogen is able to regulate the expression of heparanase-1 (HPR1) in human endometrium. METHODS HPR1 expression and heparan sulphate (HS) deposition in the endometrium collected in various menstrual phases were analysed by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. HPR1 expression in the endometrial cells unexposed or e...
متن کاملBasal membrane heparan sulphate proteoglycan expression during wound healing in human skin.
Heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are integral components of the basement membrane (BM) in various tissues. HSPGs are important in the assembly and structure of the BM, and their putative functions include regulation of basement membrane permeability, binding of growth factors, and a role in cellular adhesion. In this study the expression of HSPG was examined during wound healing in human ...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of heparan sulphate proteoglycan from bovine brain.
A heparan sulphate proteoglycan was purified from adult bovine brain tissues and its structure was characterized. The major heparan sulphate proteoglycan from whole bovine brain had a molecular mass of >200 kDa on denaturing SDS/PAGE and a core protein size of 66 kDa following the removal of glycosaminoglycan chains. Fractionation on DEAE-Sephacel showed that this proteoglycan consisted of thre...
متن کاملIdentification of a new membrane-bound heparan sulphate proteoglycan.
The morphological changes that occur during intestinal development have been extensively described, but the molecular basis of these changes is largely unknown. As a result of our efforts to identify molecules that play a role in intestinal morphogenesis during development, we have previously isolated a cDNA that is developmentally regulated in the intestine. This cDNA, named OCI-5, was recentl...
متن کاملNeurotrophin stimulation of human melanoma cell invasion: selected enhancement of heparanase activity and heparanase degradation of specific heparan sulfate subpopulations.
Heparanase is an endo-beta-D-glucuronidase whose enzymatic targets are the glycosaminoglycan chains of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (50). Elevated levels of heparanase are associated with the metastatic potential of melanoma cells, and treatment of murine and human melanoma cells with the prototypic neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) increases the production of heparanase by melanoma cells...
