Dermatan sulfotransferase Chst14/D4st1, but not chondroitin sulfotransferase Chst11/C4st1, regulates proliferation and neurogenesis of neural progenitor cells.
Chondroitin sulfates (CSs) and dermatan sulfates (DSs) are enriched in the microenvironment of neural stem cells (NSCs) during development and in the adult neurogenic niche, and have been implicated in mechanisms governing neural precursor migration, proliferation and differentiation. In contrast to previous studies, in which a chondroitinaseABC-dependent unselective deglycosylation of both CSs...
متن کاملLoss of dermatan sulfate epimerase (DSE) function results in musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
The sulfated polysaccharide dermatan sulfate (DS) forms proteoglycans with a number of distinct core proteins. Iduronic acid-containing domains in DS have a key role in mediating the functions of DS proteoglycans. Two tissue-specific DS epimerases, encoded by DSE and DSEL, and a GalNAc-4-O-sulfotransferase encoded by CHST14 are necessary for the formation of these domains. CHST14 mutations were...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a clinically heterogeneous groupof inherited disorders with ten different types, all involving agenetic defect in collagen and connective-tissue synthesis andstructure that affecting the skin, joints, and blood vessels.

متن کاملAn Iranian family with cutis laxa and classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogenous group of inherited disorders of connective tissue characterized by fragility of the skin and blood vessels, hyperextensibility of the skin and joint hypermobility. Cutis laxa is characteized clinically by lax, pendulous skin and histologically by loss of elastic tissue in the dermis. There are some reports of coexistence of cutis laxa with ot...
متن کاملEhlers-Danlos Syndrome (TYPEI) with Mental Retardation -an Unusual Association (Reports on Two Brothers)
Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disease due to impaired collagen metabolism. Joint hypermobility and skin hyper extensibility are the major findings. Six types of EDS are recognized. Type I or Gravis type is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, skin splitting autosoml dominancy inheritance, preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) an...
