Fibrosis is the endpoint in many chronic inflammatory diseases and is defined as an abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix components. Fibrosis can affect almost any tissue, especially heart, lung, liver, and kidney, and numerous studies have been conducted to find satisfactory treatments. Since heparanase is a kind of endo-β-D-glucuronidase that is capable of cleaving heparan sulfate si...
The gene expression levels of heparanase, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 were examined in ventricles after treatment with monocrotaline (MCT) to induce cardiac hypertrophy in rats. Rats received a single intraperitoneal injection of MCT (60 mg/kg) or saline. Twenty-five days after the injection, the right ventricle and lung wet weights were increased in MCT-treated rats compared wit...
Heparanase is an endo-glucuronidase that degrades heparan sulfate chains. The enzyme is expressed at a low level in normal organs; however, elevated expression of heparanase has been detected in several inflammatory conditions, e.g. in the synovial joints of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Herein, we have applied the model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) to transgenic mice overexpressin...
Heparanase is the only known endoglycosidase able to cleave heparan sulfate. Roneparstat and necuparanib, heparanase inhibitors obtained from heparin and currently being tested in man as a potential drugs against cancer, contain in their structure glycol-split uronic acid moieties probably responsible for their strong inhibitory activity. We describe here the total chemical synthesis of the tri...
Metastatic disease is the primary cause of death for most cancer patients. Angiogenesis is the formation of a new capillary network from pre-existing vessels and required for tumor vasculature. Heparanase, a beta-endoglucuronidase, assistants tumor invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis. Chitooligosaccharides (COS) is obtained by hydrolysis of chitosan. COS has been proved to be anti-angiogenesi...
PURPOSE The heparan sulfate-degrading endoglycosidase may mediate tumor invasion and metastasis. It is known that heparanase-1 (HPA-1) plays an important role in cleaving heparan sulfate. In this study we investigated its potential role in gastric carcinoma malignant behaviour. METHODS To assess the role of HPA-1, we suppressed its expression using small interfering RNA (siRNA). The human hep...
Intestinal injury is a key feature in sepsis. Heparanase, a heparin sulfate-specific glucuronidase, mediates the onset of organ injury during early sepsis. Heparin has the function to attenuate inflammation and injury induced by multiple factors; however, whether unfractionated heparin (UFH) can attenuate the intestinal injury induced by sepsis as well as the underlying mechanism is still unkno...
Introduction Heparanase is an endo-b-glucuronidase that cleaves highly potent heparan sulfate (HS) from its proteoglycan, thereby triggering the inflammatory response in [1]. Thus, new anti-infective agents that interact with heparanase may be promising tools for sepsis therapy. As a novel anti-infective agent, peptide 19-2.5 (pep2.5) belongs to the class of synthetic anti-lipopolysaccharide pe...
In diabetes, when glucose uptake and oxidation are impaired, the heart is compelled to use fatty acid (FA) almost exclusively for ATP. The vascular content of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the rate-limiting enzyme that determines circulating triglyceride clearance, is largely responsible for this FA delivery and increases following diabetes. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipopr...
The specific role of solid extracellular matrix components in opposing development of pulmonary interstitial edema was studied in adult anesthetized rabbits by challenging the lung parenchyma with an intravenous injection of a bolus of collagenase or heparanase. In 10 rabbits, pulmonary interstitial pressure (Pip) was measured by micropuncture in control and up to 3 h after collagenase or hepar...
