A sulfated glycosaminoglycan array for molecular interactions between glycosaminoglycans and growth factors or anti-glycosaminoglycan antibodies.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) take part in numerous biological processes by binding to protein molecules and functionally regulating protein-ligand interactions; therefore, molecular interactions of GAGs have been studied by several methods, including surface plasmon resonance, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), and GAG microarrays. To achieve rapid, sensitive, and high-throughput screeni...
متن کاملMarine Non-Glycosaminoglycan Sulfated Glycans as Potential Pharmaceuticals
Sulfated fucans (SFs) and sulfated galactans (SGs) are currently the marine non-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfated glycans most studied in glycomics. These compounds exhibit therapeutic effects in several pathophysiological systems such as blood coagulation, thrombosis, neovascularization, cancer, inflammation, and microbial infections. As analogs of the largely employed GAGs and due to some limi...
متن کاملEnd-functionalized glycopolymers as mimetics of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.
Glycosaminoglycans are sulfated polysaccharides that play important roles in fundamental biological processes, such as cell division, viral invasion, cancer and neuroregeneration. The multivalent presentation of multiple glycosaminoglycan chains on proteoglycan scaffolds may profoundly influence their interactions with proteins and subsequent biological activity. However, the importance of this...
متن کاملExpanding glycosaminoglycan chemical space: towards the creation of sulfated analogs, novel polymers and chimeric constructs.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have therapeutic potential in areas ranging from angiogenesis, inflammation, hemostasis and cancer. GAG bioactivity is conferred by intrinsic structural features, such as disaccharide composition, glycosidic linkages and sulfation pattern. Unfortunately, the in vitro enzymatic synthesis of defined GAGs is quite restricted by a limited understanding of current GAG synth...
متن کاملAbrogation of apoptosis through PDGF-BB-induced sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis and secretion.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-stimulated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis/secretion in fetal lung fibroblasts is dependent on sequential activation of the PDGF beta-receptor, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), the serine/threonine kinase Akt-1,2, and the GTPase Rab3D. Because the Akt pathway has been implicated in cell survival mechanisms, we investigated whether the pathway regu...
