Cultured arterial smooth muscle cells synthesize and secrete two types of sulfated proteoglycans designated as proteoglycan A and proteoglycan B. Proteoglycan A has been characterized as chondroitin sulfate-rich, whereas proteoglycan B was found to be dermatan sulfate-rich [Schmidt, A. & Buddecke, E. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 153, 260-273]. During the logarithmic growth phase, arterial smooth muscle cells incorporated about 3 times more [35S]sulfate into the total proteoglycans secreted into the culture medium than did non-dividing cells. When arterial smooth muscle cells stopped proliferating the ratio of [35S]proteoglycan A/B increased. No differences were detected in the respective molecular and chemical characteristics of purified proteoglycans A and B isolated from both proliferating and non-dividing cells. Regardless of the growth phase proteoglycan A had a molecular mass of about 280 kDa and contained 8-9 chondroitin sulfate-rich side chains. Proteoglycan B had a molecular mass of about 180 kDa and contained 6-7 dermatan sulfate-rich side chains. The [35S]methionine-labelled protein cores of proteoglycan A and B had a molecular mass of about 48 kDa, but were distinguishable by their specific reactions to monospecific antibodies. Proliferating cells endocytosed proteoglycan B at a rate up to 100% higher than that of non-dividing cells. In all growth phases proteoglycan A was endocytosed at a 10-fold lower rate than proteoglycan B.  相似文献

Summary Human platelet-derived transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a cell-type specific promotor of proteoglycan synthesis in human adult arterial cells. Cultured human adult arterial smooth muscle cells synthesized chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and the percent composition of these three proteoglycan subclasses varied to some extent from cell strain to cell strain. However, TGF-beta consistently stimulated the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Both chondroitin 4- and chondroitin 6-sulfate were stimulated by TGF-beta to the same extent. TGF-beta had no stimulatory effect on either class of [35S]sulfate-labeled proteoglycans which appeared in an approximately 1:1 and 2:1 ratio of heparan sulfate to dermatan sulfate of the medium and cell layers, respectively, of arterial endothelial cells. Human adult arterial endothelial cells synthesized little or no chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Pulse-chase labeling revealed that the appearance of smooth muscle cell proteoglycans into the medium over a 36-h period equaled the disappearance of labeled proteoglycans from the cell layer, independent of TGF-beta. Inhibitors of RNA synthesis blocked TGF-beta-stimulated proteoglycan synthesis in the smooth muscle cells. The incorporation of [35S]methionine into chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core proteins was stimulated by TGF-beta. Taken together, the results presented indicate that TGF-beta stimulates chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan synthesis in human adult arterial smooth muscle cells by promoting the core protein synthesis.

Tyrosine O-sulfate ester in proteoglycans   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Tyrosine O-sulfate residues were detected in the protein core of sulfated proteoglycans. When cultured skin fibroblasts and arterial smooth muscle cells were incubated in the presence of [35S]sulfate, dermatan sulfate proteoglycan and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan isolated from the culture medium contained tyrosine [35S]sulfate ester which accounted for 0.03%-0.82% of total 35S radioactivity incorporated into the sulfated proteoglycans. This corresponds to a tyrosine sulfation of every second (fibroblasts) and every 10th (smooth muscle cells) dermatan sulfate proteoglycan molecule. [3H]Tyrosine labeling of fibroblast dermatan sulfate proteoglycan gave a similar stoichiometry. However, the relative proportion of tyrosine [35S]sulfate in proteoglycans from arterial tissue was about 10 times higher than in that from cultured arterial cells. Pulse chase experiments with [35S]sulfate revealed that tyrosine sulfation is a late event in the biosynthesis of dermatan sulfate proteoglycan from fibroblasts and occurs immediately prior to secretion. Cultured skin fibroblasts from a patient with a progeroid variant (Kresse et al. 1987, Am. J. Hum. Gen. 41, 436-453) which exhibit a partial deficiency to synthesize dermatan sulfate proteoglycan were shown to form and to secrete a tyrosine-sulfated but glycosaminoglycan-free protein core, thus confirming a selective and independent [35S]sulfate labeling of the protein core.  相似文献

Near confluent monolayers of arterial smooth muscle cells derived from Macaca nemestrina were labeled with Na2[35S]O4 and the newly synthesized proteoglycans present in the culture medium and cell layer were extracted with either 4 M guanidine HCl (dissociative solvent) or 0.5 M guanidine HCl (associative solvent) in the presence of protease inhibitors. The proteoglycans in both compartments were further purified by cesium chloride density gradient ultracentrifugation. Two size classes of proteoglycans were observed in the medium as determined by chromatography on Sepharose CL-2B. The large population (Kav = 0.31) contained predominantly chondroitin sulfate chains with Mr = approximately 40,000. The smaller population (Kav = 0.61) contained dermatan sulfate chains of similar Mr (approximately 40,000). When tested for their ability to aggregate, only proteoglycans in the large-sized population were able to aggregate. A chondroitin sulfate containing proteoglycan with identical properties was isolated from the cell layer. In addition, the cell layer contained a dermatan sulfate component which eluted later on Sepharose CL-2B (Kav = 0.78) than the dermatan sulfate proteoglycan present in the medium. Electron microscopy of the purified proteoglycans revealed a bottlebrush structure containing a central core averaging 140 nm in length with an average of 8 to 10 side projections. The length of the side projections varied but averaged between 70 and 75 nm. Similar bottlebrush structures were observed in the intercellular matrix of the smooth muscle cell cultures after staining with Safranin 0. This culture system provides a model to investigate parameters involved in the regulation of synthesis and degradation of arterial proteoglycans.  相似文献

1. Human skin fibroblasts internalize homologous sulphated proteoglycans by adsorptive endocytosis. Endocytosis rate is half maximal when the concentration of the proteoglycans is 0.1 nM. At saturation, a single fibroblast may endocytose up to 8 X 10(6) proteoglycan molecules/h. 2. The kinetics of prote;glycan binding to the cell surface suggest the presence of 6 X 10(5) high-affinity binding sites per cell. The bulk of sulphated proteoglycans associates to low-affinity binding sites on the cell surface. 3. Glycosaminoglycans and other anionic macromolecules inhibit endocytosis of sulphated proteoglycans non-competitively. The lack of interaction of glycosaminoglycans with the cell-surface receptors for sulphated proteoglycans suggests that the protein core of proteoglycans is essential for binding to the cell surface. 4. The effects of trypsin, cell density, serum concentration and medium pH on endocytosis and degradation of endocytosed sulphated proteoglycans is described. 5. A comparison of the number of the high-affinity binding sites and the number of molecules endocytosed with respect to time suggests a recycling of the proteoglycan receptors between the cell surface and the endocytotic vesicles and/or the lysosomes.  相似文献

Cultured arterial fibroblasts were used for a quantitative study on adsorption, uptake and degradation of [35S]proteoglycans derived from secretions of cultured arterial or skin fibroblasts. The following results were obtained: 1) Proteoglycans added to the culture medium are integrated into the pool of cell membrane-associated (trypsin-removable) glycosaminoglycans by a saturable process, which depends on time and temperature. 2) Up to 17% of the added proteoglycans are taken up by the cells within 24 h. The uptake exhibits saturation kinetics, characteristic for adsorptive pinocytosis. Proteoglycan concentrations required for half-maximum uptake are higher than for half-maximum saturation of the glycosaminoglycan pool associated with the cell membrane. 3) After a lag phase, inorganic 35SO4 appears in the culture medium as a degradation product of the internalized proteoglycans. Pinocytosed proteoglycans are catabolized more rapidly than proteoglycans which remain inside the cell after their biosynthesis. 4) Pinocytosis exhibits specificity, the individual proteoglycans being internalized at different rates. The highest rate of uptake was measured for a dermatan-sulfate-rich proteoglycan. No competition of uptake between a dermatan-sulfate-rich and a heparan-sulfate-rich proteoglycan was observed. 5) Optimum pinocytosis requires an intact protein moiety and, presumably, undegraded carbohydrate chains of the proteoglycans.  相似文献

The size and immunological reactivity of the primary gene products of a small non-aggregating dermatan sulfate proteoglycan from bovine and monkey arterial smooth muscle cells were examined after cell-free translation of mRNA. Antisera against the dermatan sulfate proteoglycans from bovine articular cartilage, DSPG II [Rosenberg et al. J. Biol. Chem. 260, 6304 (1985)] and human skin fibroblasts [Glossl et al. J. Biol. Chem. 259, 14144 (1984)] were used to show that the unmodified smooth muscle precursor core protein was immunologically related to both the cartilage and fibroblast core proteins. The size of the precursor core proteins within each species was identical regardless of the tissue source. Comparison of the precursor core proteins synthesized by primate and bovine cells revealed that the bovine core proteins were approximately 1500 Da larger than the primate core proteins as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A similar size difference was observed when the mature core proteins of monkey smooth muscle cells and bovine articular chondrocytes were compared after removal of the glycosaminoglycan chains. These results indicate that arterial smooth muscle cells synthesize a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan whose core protein is similar to, if not the same as, the cartilage and fibroblast dermatan sulfate proteoglycan core proteins. These core proteins may be encoded by the same gene that has diverged in size during speciation.  相似文献

The major families of proteoglycans in human arterial tissue have been localized and characterized by electron microscopy. After staining with the polycationic dye cuprolinic blue in the presence of a critical electrolyte concentration, three differently sized populations of proteoglycan-cuprolinic blue precipitates are found. The precipitates are distinguished of the basis of their morphology, topographical distribution and susceptibility to specific glycosaminoglycan-degrading enzymes. Each type of proteoglycan is preferentially associated with one connective tissue component: (a) a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan interacts with collagenous fibers, (b) a heparan sulfate proteoglycan is associated with elastic fibers and with the exterior surface of the basement membrane-like layer surrounding smooth muscle cells, and (c) a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan forms aggregates with hyaluronate in the soluble matrix. Information about the pattern of proteoglycans in normal human arterial tissue should constitute a useful basis for evaluating perturbations in proteoglycan distribution in arteriosclerotic plaques.  相似文献

The proteoglycans synthesized by primary chick skeletal muscle during in vitro myogenesis were compared with those of muscle-specific fibroblasts. Cultures of skeletal muscle cells and muscle fibroblasts were separately labeled using [35S] sulfate as a precursor. The proteoglycans of the cell layer and medium were separately extracted and isolated by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel followed by gel filtration chromatography on Sepharose CL-2B. Two cell layer-associated proteoglycans synthesized both by skeletal muscle cells and muscle fibroblasts were identified. The first, a high molecular weight proteoglycan, eluted from Sepharose CL-2B with a Kav of 0.07 and contained exclusively chondroitin sulfate chains with an average molecular weight greater than 50,000. The second, a relatively smaller proteoglycan, eluted from Sepharose CL-2B with a Kav of 0.61 and contained primarily heparan sulfate chains with an average molecular weight of 16,000. Two labeled proteoglycans were also found in the medium of both skeletal muscle and muscle fibroblasts. A high molecular weight proteoglycan was found with virtually identical properties to that of the high molecular weight chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of the cell layer. A second, smaller proteoglycan had a similar monomer size (Kav of 0.63) to the cell layer heparan sulfate proteoglycan, but differed from it in that this molecule contained primarily chondroitin sulfate chains with an average molecular weight of 32,000. Studies on the distribution of these proteoglycans in muscle cells during in vitro myogenesis demonstrated that a parallel increase in the relative amounts of the smaller proteoglycans occurred in both the cell layer and medium compared to the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in each compartment. In contrast, muscle-derived fibroblasts displayed a constant ratio of the small proteoglycans of the cell layer and medium fractions, compared to the larger chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of the respective fraction as a function of cell density. Our results support the concept that proteoglycan synthesis is under developmental regulation during skeletal myogenesis.  相似文献

Proteoglycans in pathological conditions: atherosclerosis   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
Proteoglycans accumulate within the innermost layer (intima) of blood vessels during atherosclerosis. This accumulation is marked in some forms of human atherosclerosis and is particularly prominent in vessels that have been experimentally injured and have healed by the process of reendothelialization. The two major cell types of the arterial wall, endothelium and smooth muscle, are the major sources of arterial proteoglycans, and cell cultures have demonstrated that these cells synthesize at least three families of proteoglycans similar to those present in human aorta. Each family differs with regard to molecular size, glycosaminoglycan and oligosaccharide content, and ability to aggregate in the presence of hyaluronic acid. Furthermore, each cell type possesses a distinct pattern of proteoglycan synthesis. Smooth muscle cells synthesize and secrete primarily chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate-containing proteoglycans, whereas endothelial cells synthesize and secrete large amounts of heparan sulfate proteoglycan. Evidence is presented to indicate that the synthesis of proteoglycans is modulated as a function of growth and migratory state of the vascular cells.  相似文献

Glycosaminoglycan synthesis and secretion by primate arterial smooth muscle have been examined in cell culture. Mass cultures of diploid primate arterial smooth muscle cells were either double labeled with [35S]sulfate and [3H]acetate or single labeled with [3H]glucosamine for 24 h and glycosaminoglycans were extracted and isolated from the culture medium. Incorporation of labeled precursors into glycosaminoglycan was maximal during stationary phase of smooth muscle cell growth in culture and reduced, but not eliminated during logarithmic growth. The glycosaminoglycans synthesized and secreted into the culture medium were characterized by differential susceptibility to glycosaminoglycan-degradative enzymes and by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Both assay procedures indicate that cultured primate arterial smooth muscle cells synthesize principally dermatan sulfate (60%-80% of total), chondroitin sulfate A and/or C (10%-20%of total) and little or no hyaluronic acid (0%-5% of total). This pattern of glycosaminoglycan formation differed significantly from that exhibited by isologous skin fibroblasts cultured under identical conditions. Dermal fibroblasts synthesize and secrete primarily hyaluronic acid (50%-60% of total) with lesser amounts of dermatan sulfate (10%-20% of total) and chondroitin sulfate A and/or C (10%-20% of total). These results indicate that differences exist in proteoglycan metabolism between these two connective tissue-producing cells in vitro, and suggest that the observed pattern of in vitro glycosaminoglycan synthesis by primate arterial smooth muscle cells may be characteristic for this cell type and not a general response to conditions of cell culture.  相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a known mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells and has been implicated as having a role in a number of proliferative vascular disorders. Binding of bFGF to heparin or heparan sulfate has been demonstrated to both stimulate and inhibit growth factor activity. The activity, towards bFGF, of heparan sulfate proteoglycans present within the vascular system is likely related to the chemical characteristics of the glycosaminoglycan as well as the structure and pericellular location of the intact proteoglycans. We have previously shown that endothelial conditioned medium inhibits both bFGF binding to vascular smooth muscle cells and bFGF stimulated cell proliferation in vitro. In the present study, we have isolated proteoglycans from endothelial cell conditioned medium and demonstrated that they are responsible for the bFGF inhibitory activity. We further separated endothelial secreted proteoglycans into two fractions, PG-A and PG-B. The larger sized fraction (PG-A) had greater inhibitory activity than did PG-B for both bFGF binding and bFGF stimulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. The increased relative activity of PG-A was attributed, in part, to larger heparan sulfate chains which were more potent inhibitors of bFGF binding than the smaller heparan sulfate chains on PG-B. Both proteoglycan fractions contained perlecan-like core proteins; however, PG-A contained an additional core protein (approximately 190 kDa) that was not observed in PG-B. Both proteoglycan fractions bound bFGF directly, and PG-A bound a significantly greater relative amount of bFGF than did PG-B. Thus the ability of endothelial heparan sulfate proteoglycans to bind bFGF and prevent its association with vascular smooth muscle cells appears essential for inhibition of bFGF-induced mitogenesis. The production of potent bFGF inhibitory heparan sulfate proteoglycans by endothelial cells might contribute to the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. J. Cell.

Cultured arterial smooth muscle cells synthesize a cell-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan which consists of a 92 kDa core protein with 3 to 4 heparan sulfate side chains covalently attached. Biosynthesis of the cell-associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan was compared in proliferating and in non-dividing vascular smooth muscle cells which are preincubated in the presence of [35]sulfate or a combination of [35S]methionine and [3H]glucosamine. The Mr of the core protein was identical in either growth state, but changes in the structure of the heparan sulfate side chains were observed. Non-dividing (postconfluent) arterial smooth muscle cells form longer heparan sulfate chains with a higher proportion of hydrophobic (N-acetyl) groups than proliferating (preconfluent) cells as judged from gel filtration experiments, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and heparitinase degradation. An enzyme preparation from proliferating cells catalyzes deacetylation and N-sulfation of heparan sulfate at a 5-fold higher activity than from non-dividing cells. Cell density-dependent structural differences of heparan sulfate are related to the finding that heparan sulfate isolated from non-dividing cells has a 10-fold higher antiproliferative potency than heparan sulfate from proliferating (preconfluent) cells.  相似文献

Previous studies have reported an increase in heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan (HSGAG) during skeletal muscle differentiation in culture. We have investigated this phenomenon further in relation to the heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) produced by myogenic cultures. Pulse-chase analysis indicated an approx. 3-fold increase in heparan sulfate synthesis in myotube cultures over that in proliferating or aligning myoblast cultures. Muscle fibroblast culture heparan sulfate synthesis was higher than that of myoblasts but was lower than myotubes. The turnover rates appeared to be the same for all stages of development, with a t1/2 of approx. 5 h. Enrichment for heparan sulfate by Sepharose CL-4B and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography indicated an increase in the hydrodynamic size of the proteoglycan produced by myotubes over that from myoblasts, with a shift in Kav from 0.14-0.19 to 0.07. Fibroblasts synthesized the smallest proteoglycan, with a Kav of 0.22. All of the proteoglycans contained similar sized glycosaminoglycan chains with an estimated molecular weight of 30,000-40,000. Localization of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan in myotube cultures by trypsin sensitivity indicated much of the intact proteoglycan to be closely associated with the cell surface, while internalized material appeared in a degraded form.  相似文献

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Retention of atherogenic lipoproteins by vascular proteoglycans is thought to play a key role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. High glucose levels cause a variety of diabetic complications by several mechanisms, including upregulation of the hexosamine pathway. Glucosamine, a component of the hexosamine pathway, is a precursor for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan components of proteoglycans. This study evaluated whether high glucose or glucosamine supplementation of vascular smooth muscle cells would increase proteoglycan synthesis, leading to increased lipoprotein retention. Aortic smooth muscle cells were exposed to physiologic (5.6 mM) or high (25 mM) glucose levels, such as seen in diabetes, or to glucosamine (12 mM). Extracellular proteoglycans were characterized by sulfate incorporation, molecular sieve chromatography, and SDS-PAGE. LDL interactions were assessed by affinity chromatography and gel mobility shift assay. Proteoglycans synthesized in the presence of high glucose demonstrated no differences in size, sulfate incorporation, or LDL binding affinity compared with proteoglycans synthesized under physiological glucose conditions. However, proteoglycans synthesized in the presence of glucosamine had smaller glycosaminoglycan chains than control proteoglycans with a corresponding decrease in lipoprotein retention.Thus, glucose and glucosamine have different effects on proteoglycan biosynthesis and different effects on lipoprotein retention.  相似文献

Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and dermatan sulfate/chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans may be extracted from the uterine epithelium of immature mice by a 1-min exposure of the luminal surface of excised uteri to 1% Nonidet P-40 detergent. In mice that are treated with estradiol there is a marked increase in free heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan in the extract. (a) By Sepharose exclusion chromatography the [35S]sulfate-labeled major HSPG had a nominal Mr of 200-250 X 10(3), consisting of a core protein of about 80-90 X 10(3) Mr with about 8-10 heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains (Mr = 13 X 10(3)). The HSPG had a lower bouyant density (less than 1.45 g/ml) than the dermatan sulfate/chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and was heterogeneous, as was evident in the fact that HSPG attained equilibrium over a wide range of CsCl densities and also showed nonuniform interaction with octyl-Sepharose. (b) Virtually all of the major HSPG was removed when the epithelium was isolated by proteolysis, indicating a cell surface localization. A smaller, less prominent HSPG (nominal Mr = 80 X 10(3)) was synthesized during the first 2 h after isolation. (c) Label and chase experiments with and without chloroquine showed that virtually all of the free heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains derived from endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of the plasma membrane-associated HSPG. We conclude that estradiol stimulates endocytosis of HSPG, predominantly from the basolateral epithelial surface and suggest that this HSPG turnover may reflect changes associated with blastocyst attachment and invasion of the endometrium.  相似文献

According to numerous studies low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are supposed to interact with the glycosaminoglycan chain(s) of proteoglycans, e.g. with decorin and biglycan, which themselves are subject to receptor-mediated endocytosis. We tested, therefore, whether complexes of LDL and small proteoglycans can be endocytosed by either the LDL- or the small proteoglycan uptake mechanism. However, neither was the endocytosis of LDL significantly influenced by proteoglycans nor that of proteoglycans by LDL. This negative result could be explained by the observation that in vitro complex formation takes place only in buffers of low ionic strength. Under physiological conditions additional molecules may be necessary for complex stabilization. Lipoprotein lipase (LpL) which binds LDL was also able to interact with high affinity with decorin and its glycosaminoglycan-free core protein, both interactions being heparin-sensitive. Regardless of the presence or absence of LDL, LpL stimulated the endocytosis of decorin 1.5-fold, whereas LpL mediated a 4-fold stimulation of LDL uptake in the absence of decorin. No significant additional effect was seen in the presence of small concentrations of proteoglycans whereas in the presence of 1 microM decorin the endocytosis of [125I]LDL was reduced in normal as well as in LDL receptor-deficient fibroblasts. These observations could best be explained by assuming that LpL/LDL complexes are internalized upon binding to membrane-associated heparan sulphate and that small proteoglycans interfere with this process. It could not be ruled out, however, that a small proportion of the complexes is also taken up by the small proteoglycan receptor.  相似文献

We have isolated and characterized the cell-associated and secreted proteoglycans synthesized by a clonal line of rat adrenal medullary PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, which have been extensively employed for the study of a wide variety of neurobiological processes. Chondroitin sulfate accounts for 70-80% of the [35S] sulfate-labeled proteoglycans present in PC12 cells and secreted into the medium. Two major chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans were detected with molecular sizes of 45,000-100,000 and 120,000-190,000, comprising 14- and 105-kDa core proteins and one or two chondroitin sulfate chains with an average molecular size of 34 kDa. In contrast to the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, one major heparan sulfate proteoglycan accounts for most of the remaining 20-30% of the [35S] sulfate-labeled proteoglycans present in the PC12 cells and medium. It has a molecular size of 95,000-170,000, comprising a 65-kDa core protein and two to six 16-kDa heparan sulfate chains. Both the chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate proteoglycans also contain O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides (25-28% of the total oligosaccharides) and predominantly tri- and tetraantennary N-glycosidic oligosaccharides. Proteoglycans produced by the original clone of PC12 cells were compared with those of two other PC12 cell lines (B2 and F3) that differ from the original clone in morphology, adhesive properties, and response to nerve growth factor. Although the F3 cells (a mutant line derived from B2 and reported to lack a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan) do not contain a large molecular size heparan sulfate proteoglycan species, there was no significant difference between the B2 and F3 cells in the percentage of total heparan sulfate released by mild trypsinization, and both the B2 and F3 cells synthesized cell-associated and secreted chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate proteoglycans having properties very similar to those of the original PC12 cell line but with a reversed ratio (35:65) of chondroitin sulfate to heparan sulfate.  相似文献
