We herein report the case of a 20-year-old man who underwent a photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). We measured matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity and chondroitin 4 sulfate and chondroitin 6 sulfate concentrations in tear fluid. Tear fluid was collected pre-operatively via microcapillary tube, and was collected postoperatively on the first and fourth days, and after one week, one month, ...
OBJECTIVE Chondroitin sulfate is the major sulfated polysaccharide attached to the core protein, aggrecan, in the hyaline cartilage matrix. Sulfation of the cartilage matrix polysaccharide is vital for normal matrix integrity and compressive stiffness of the tissue and is therefore crucial to normal cartilage formation and consequently to endochondral ossification. Several forms of chondrodyspl...
The polyelectrolyte nature of chondroitin sulfate and related polysaccharides suggests they may bind cations. Since chondroitin sulfate is an extracellular component of mammalian connective tissue, the binding properties of this polyelectrolyte for cations may be of significance in the distribution and storage of extracellular cations. In disease states in which sodium is known to play a major ...
Two mucopolysaccharides, chondroitin 4-sulfate (97.8%) and hyaluronic acid (1.2%), were isolated after exhaustive proteolysis of a transplantable chondrosarcoma of the rat. The chondroitin 4-sulfate was fractionated into three fractions of varying degrees of sulfation and chain length. Keratan sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate were absent. Extraction of the fresh tumor gave two protein-polysacc...
Heparin is a critically important anticoagulant drug that was contaminated with a persulfonated polysaccharide in 2008, resulting in a number of severe adverse reactions, some leading to death. Controversy remains as to the precise composition of the 2008 contaminant, and new information suggests that heparin may now be subject to adulteration with a new, difficult to detect, contaminant, N-sul...
A simple and accurate capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed to simultaneously separate and quantify heparin, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. The relative standard deviations (intra-day) of migration time, peak height and peak area for heparin, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid were lower than 1.11, 5.45 and 2.82%, respectively. The limits of detection of heparin, ch...
A panel of four separate monoclonal antibodies, all known to specifically recognize epitopes on keratan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, were employed in an immunocytochemical study of developing chick hind limbs. In addition, two monoclonal antibodies specific for epitopes on chondroitin/dermatan sulfate glycosaminoglycans were employed on equivalent sections to determine the degree of colocalizati...
Cultured human retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) synthesized and secreted glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) with the characteristics of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid from radioactive precursors. Cells subcultured for up to 18 passages from normal RPE and from the RPE of a patient with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa synthesized and secreted the same types and proportions of ...
The glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate is a critical component of proteoglycans on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. As such, chondroitin sulfate side chains and the sulfation balance of chondroitin play important roles in the control of signaling pathways, and have a functional importance in human disease. In contrast, very little is known about the roles of chondroitin sulf...
BACKGROUND Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are used to treat osteoarthritis. The multicenter, double-blind, placebo- and celecoxib-controlled Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT) evaluated their efficacy and safety as a treatment for knee pain from osteoarthritis. METHODS We randomly assigned 1583 patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis to receive 1500 mg of g...
