Antibody GD3G7 selected against embryonic glycosaminoglycans defines chondroitin sulfate-E domains highly up-regulated in ovarian cancer and involved in vascular endothelial growth factor binding.

Am. J. Pathol. 171(4) , 1324-33, (2007)

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is abundantly present in the tumor stroma, and tumor-specific CS modifications might be potential targets to influence tumor development. We applied the phage display technology to select antibodies that identify these tumor-specific ...

Structural and sequence motifs in dermatan sulfate for promoting fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and FGF-7 activity.

J. Biol. Chem. 280(7) , 5300-6, (2005)

Glycosaminoglycans have been implicated in the binding and activation of a variety of growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. In this way, glycosaminoglycans are thought to participate in events such as development and wound repair. In particular, heparin ...

A comparative study between a chondroitinase B and a chondroitinase AC from Flavobacterium heparinum: Isolation of a chondroitinase AC-susceptible dodecasaccharide from chondroitin sulphate B.

Biochem. J. 151(1) , 121-9, (1975)

A chondroitinase that degrades only chondroitin sulphate B was isolated from Flavobacterium heparinum, and separated from a constitutive chondroitinase AC also present in extracts of F. heparinum. The enzyme acts only on chondroitin sulphate B, producing olig...

Structural analysis of chondroitin sulfate from Scyliorhinus canicula: a useful source of this polysaccharide.

Glia 19 , 1485-91, (2009)

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a constituent of proteoglycans, is a key component of the connective tissues and it is widely used as a precautionary drug for joint diseases; for this reason, the increased demand of this polysaccharide has posed the problem to iden...

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to study chondroitin lyase action pattern.

Anal. Biochem. 385 , 57-64, (2009)

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to determine the action pattern of different chondroitin lyases. Two commercial enzymes, chondroitinase ABC (Proteus vulgaris) and chondroitinase ACII (Arthrobacter aurescens), having action patterns previou...

Structural characterization and antithrombin activity of dermatan sulfate purified from marine clam Scapharca inaequivalvis.

Glycobiology 19(4) , 356-67, (2009)

Glycosaminoglycans from the body of marine clam Scapharca inaequivalvis were extracted at about 0.15- 0.18 mg/g of dry tissue, composed of dermatan sulfate (DS) (approx. 74%) and heparan sulfate (26%). After treatment with nitrous acid, DS was isolated for fu...

Adult bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells expressing chondroitinase AC transplanted into CNS injury sites promote local brain chondroitin sulphate degradation.

J. Neurosci. Methods 171 , 19-29, (2008)

Injury to the CNS of vertebrates leads to the formation of a glial scar and production of inhibitory molecules, including chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans. Various studies suggest that the sugar component of the proteoglycan is responsible for the inhibitor...
