Opticin binds to heparan and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.
PURPOSE The extracellular matrix glycoprotein opticin is a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan/protein family member that was discovered associated with vitreous humor collagen fibrils. Opticin is present throughout the vitreous, but is particularly concentrated at the internal limiting lamina, where it colocalizes with type XVIII collagen. The present study investigated whether opticin inte...
متن کاملBasement Membrane Zone Collagens XV and XVIII/Proteoglycans Mediate Leukocyte Influx in Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion
Collagen type XV and XVIII are proteoglycans found in the basement membrane zones of endothelial and epithelial cells, and known for their cryptic anti-angiogenic domains named restin and endostatin, respectively. Mutations or deletions of these collagens are associated with eye, muscle and microvessel phenotypes. We now describe a novel role for these collagens, namely a supportive role in leu...
متن کاملOccurrence in chick embryo vitreous humor of a type IX collagen proteoglycan with an extraordinarily large chondroitin sulfate chain and short alpha 1 polypeptide.
We have prepared a high buoyant density proteoglycan fraction from the vitreous humor of 13-day-old chick embryos. Using immunoblot analysis coupled with chondroitinase digestion, we demonstrate that the purified preparation is composed predominantly of type IX collagen-like chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan with an alpha 1(IX) chain Mr approximately 23,000 shorter than the known alpha 1 in cart...
متن کاملDermatan sulfate proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis is induced in fibroblasts by transfer to a three-dimensional extracellular environment.
Composition and architecture of the extracellular matrix dictate cell behavior. Proteoglycans bind multiple components of the extracellular matrix by serving as important regulators of cell behavior. Given the influence of culture architecture on cell function, we investigated whether switching NIH3T3 fibroblasts from growth on type 1 collagen in monolayer to a collagen gel might influence derm...
متن کاملBiological activity of a proteoglycan form of macrophage colony-stimulating factor and its binding to type V collagen.
Two different types of macrophage colony-stimulating factors (M-CSF) were found, one with an apparent molecular mass of 85 kDa and the other greater than 200 kDa. The high molecular mass M-CSF was identified as a proteoglycan carrying chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan and was designated as the proteoglycan form of M-CSF (PG-M-CSF). In this study, we compared the biological activity of the 8...
