Recently, growing interest in the potential link between metabolic disorders (i.e., diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome) and breast cancer has mounted, including studies which indicate that diabetic/hyperinsulinemic women have a significantly higher risk of bearing breast tumors that are more aggressive and associated with higher death rates. Insulin signaling is regarded as a major contribut...
Accumulating research suggests that heparanase may be a universal tumor-associated antigen (TAA). Several heparanase T-cell epitopes from humans and mice have already been identified. However, because of low immunogenicity, polypeptide vaccines usually have difficulty inducing effective antitumor immune responses in vivo. In this study, to increase the immunogenicity of polypeptide vaccines, we...
Download essive bone destruction is a major cause of morbidity in myeloma patients. However, the biological nisms involved in the pathogenesis of myeloma-induced bone disease are not fully understood. Heparan enzyme that cleaves the heparan sulfate chains of proteoglycans, is upregulated in a variety of huumors, including multiple myeloma. We previously showed that heparanase promotes robust my...
Heparanase enhances shedding of syndecan-1 (CD138), and high levels of heparanase and shed syndecan-1 in the tumor microenvironment are associated with elevated angiogenesis and poor prognosis in myeloma and other cancers. To explore how the heparanase/syndecan-1 axis regulates angiogenesis, we used myeloma cells expressing either high or low levels of heparanase and examined their impact on en...
Heparanase is an endo-beta-D-glucuronidase that cleaves heparan sulfate and is implicated in diverse physiological and pathological processes. In this study we report on a novel direct involvement of heparanase in cell adhesion. We demonstrate that expression of heparanase in nonadherent lymphoma cells induces early stages of cell adhesion, provided that the enzyme is expressed on the cell surf...
OBJECTIVE During diabetes mellitus, coronary lipoprotein lipase increases to promote the predominant use of fatty acids. We have reported that high glucose stimulates active heparanase secretion from endothelial cells to cleave cardiomyocyte heparan sulfate and release bound lipoprotein lipase for transfer to the vascular lumen. In the current study, we examined whether heparanase also has a fu...
Heparanase is an endoglycosidase that participates in morphogenesis, tissue repair, heparan sulphates turnover and immune response processes. It is over-expressed in tumor cells favoring the metastasis as it penetrates the endothelial layer that lines blood vessels and facilitates the metastasis by degradation of heparan sulphate proteoglycans of the extracellular matrix. Heparanase may also af...
Heparanase is a β-d-glucuronidase which cleaves heparan sulfate chains in the extracellular matrix and on cellular membranes. A dysregulated heparanase activity is intimately associated with cell invasion, tumor metastasis and angiogenesis, making heparanase an attractive target for the development of anticancer therapies. SST0001 (roneparstat; Sigma-Tau Research Switzerland S.A.) is a non-anti...
PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent angiogenic mitogen, and has been associated with angiogenesis. Heparanase is an endoglycosidase that specifically cleaves heparan sulfate side chains, which can induce VEGF expression. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the heparanase expression and its relationship with VEGF in the retina of oxygen-induced retinop...
BACKGROUND Heparanase modulates the level of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) which have an important role in multiple cellular processes. Recent studies indicate that HSPGs have an important function in hepatic lipoprotein handling and processes involving removal of lipoprotein particles. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To determine the effects of decreased HSPGs chain length on lipoprotein metaboli...
