Expression of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in barrel field of mouse and rat somatosensory cortex.
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) consist of chondroitin sulfate (CS) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and core protein and regulate the migration, axonal outgrowth, and synaptogenesis in mammalian brains. In the present study, we investigated the localization of CSPGs, the effects of sensory deprivation on the density of perineuronal nets (PNNs), and the effects of chondroitinase ABC (Chase) ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Structural Variety of the Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans-Contained Extracellular Matrix in the Mouse Brain
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are major components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the brain. In adult mammals, CSPGs form the specialized ECM structure perineuronal nets (PNNs) that surround somata and dendrites of certain types of neurons. PNNs restrict synaptic plasticity and regulate the closure of critical periods. Although previous studies have examined the starting perio...
متن کاملDegradation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans induces sprouting of intact purkinje axons in the cerebellum of the adult rat.
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are major constituents of the extracellular matrix and form perineuronal nets. Information regarding the growth-inhibitory activity of these molecules after injury is rapidly expanding. However, less is known about their physiological role in the adult undamaged CNS. Here, we investigated the function of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in maintaining the prop...
متن کاملWisteria floribunda agglutinin-binding glycan expression is decreased in endometriomata
BACKGROUND Glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications of eukaryotic proteins and is known to undergo dynamic changes in a wide range of biological processes. To date, however, the glycan expression profiles in endometriosis are largely unknown. The objective of the study was to identify the panel of glycans that were aberrantly expressed in endometriosis, a hormone...
متن کاملNeuroprotection against iron-induced cell death by perineuronal nets - an in vivo analysis of oxidative stress.
Perineuronal nets (PNs) are a specialized form of extracellular matrix, surrounding different types of neurons and mainly consist of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans connected to hyaluronan, stabilized by link protein and cross-linked via tenascin-R. Due to their polyanionic character, caused by the highly charged chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronan components, PNs might be in...
