Preparations of cellular fibronectin from chick embryonic fibroblasts have previously been shown to have hyaluronate-binding activity. However, gel filtration and CsCl isopycnic centrifugation of fibronectin preparations showed that the binding activity was associated with molecules with a density and a molecular weight higher than those of fibronectin. An immunoprecipitation assay using antibodies to the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (PG-M) from the mesenchyme of chick embryo limb bud showed that the hyaluronate-binding activity of fibronectin preparations was precipitable with this antibody. The immunoprecipitation analyses also showed that fibronectin preparations as well as conditioned culture medium and extracts of chick embryonic fibroblasts contained a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, the protein-enriched core molecules from which were identical to those from PG-M with respect to electrophoretic mobility and immunological reactivity. This proteoglycan was purified from conditioned culture medium and extracts of fibroblasts by dissociative CsCl isopycnic centrifugation. The proteoglycans from medium or extracts gave core derivatives with electrophoretic mobility identical to those from PG-M, and they had equal hyaluronate-binding activities. These results, taken together, suggest that most, if not all, of the hyaluronate-binding activity in preparations of chick cellular fibronectin is due to a proteoglycan identical to PG-M. This proteoglycan was also found to bind directly to fibronectin and to type I collagen, but not to laminin or type IV collagen. It is possible that the fibroblast proteoglycan mediates interactions between hyaluronate, fibronectin, and type I collagen, thereby participating in formation of the pericellular matrix of fibroblasts. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes a glucuronic acid 2-sulfate-containing determinant in intact chondroitin sulfate chain 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Monoclonal antibodies produced against chick embryo limb bud proteoglycan (PG-M) were selected for their ability to recognize determinants on intact chondroitin sulfate chains. One of these monoclonal antibodies (IgM; designated MO-225) reacts with PG-M, chick embryo cartilage proteoglycans (PG-H, PG-Lb, and PG-Lt), and bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan, but not with Swarm rat chondrosarcoma proteoglycan. The reactivity of PG-H to MO-225 is not affected by keratanase digestion but is completely abolished after chondroitinase digestion. Competitive binding analyses with various glycosaminoglycan samples indicate that the determinant recognized by MO-225 resides in a D-glucuronic acid 2-sulfate(beta 1----3)N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfate disaccharide unit (D-unit) common to antigenic chondroitin sulfates. A tetrasaccharide trisulfate containing D-unit at the reducing end is the smallest chondroitin sulfate fragment that can inhibit the binding of the antibody to PG-H. Decreasing the size of a D-unit-rich chondroitin sulfate by hyaluronidase digestion results in progressive reduction in its inhibitory activity. The results suggest that the epitope has a requirement for a long stretch of a disaccharide-repeating structure for a better fit to the antibody. 相似文献

Regulation of cell-substrate adhesion by proteoglycans immobilized on extracellular substrates 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
M Yamagata S Suzuki S K Akiyama K M Yamada K Kimata 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1989,264(14):8012-8018
We have demonstrated previously that chick embryo fibroblasts synthesize and secrete a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (designated PG-M) that binds to fibronectin. We now report the possibility that PG-M interactions with cell surfaces can modulate cell-substrate adhesion. When PG-M was added to the medium, various types of trypsinized cells failed to adhere not only to fibronectin-coated substrates but also to collagen- or vitronectin-coated substrates. Adhesion of the cells to laminin or glycyl-arginyl-glycyl-aspartyl-serine derivatized serum albumin (arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid-containing molecules with no capacity to bind PG-M) was also inhibited by PG-M. Treatment of the proteoglycan with either proteolytic enzymes or chondroitinase abolished its inhibitory effects on the cell adhesion. These results suggest that direct binding between PG-M and fibronectin, if any, is not a cause of the inhibition by PG-M and that only the proteoglycan form is responsible for the activity. When the immobilization of added PG-M to available plastic surfaces of coated dishes was blocked by pretreating the dishes with serum albumin, the inhibitory effect of PG-M was abolished, suggesting that the immobilized fraction of PG-M can act as a cell adhesion inhibitor. In immobilized form, both cartilage chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (designated PG-H) and chondroitin sulfate-derivatized serum albumin also inhibited cell adhesion. In contrast, heparan sulfate proteoglycan form LD and heparan sulfate-derivatized serum albumin had far lower inhibitory activities, indicating that the active site for the interaction between cells and PG-M is on the chondroitin sulfate chains. 相似文献

Administration of azaserine (250 micrograms) to day-4 chick embryos in ovo was shown to induce micromelial limbs. In the present study, biosynthesis of cartilage-characteristic proteoglycan H (PG-H) as an index of limb chondrogenesis was examined in normal and micromelial hind limbs from day-7 chick embryos by biochemical and immunological methods. (1) Metabolic labelling of the micromelial limbs with [6-3H]-glucose and [35S]sulphate, followed by analysis of labelled proteoglycans by glycerol-density-gradient centrifugation under dissociative conditions, showed a marked reduction in PG-H synthesis. (2) PG-H synthesized by micromelial limbs differed from that synthesized by normal limbs in possessing a slower sedimenting velocity and much lower amounts of chondroitin sulphates. (3) The amount of PG-H core protein in micromelial limbs was significantly decreased to about 19% on a per limb basis and about 42% on a per DNA basis of that in normal limbs, as determined by e.l.i.s.a. (4) The transition from PG-M to PG-H during limb formation was retarded in micromelial limbs as judged by an indirect immunofluorescence technique using antibodies against PG-M and PG-H. (5) The deficiency of incorporation of labelled glucose into chondroitin sulphate chains of PG-H in micromelial limbs was partially restored by using [6-3H]-glucosamine as a precursor, suggesting that the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylhexosamine, required for chondroitin sulphate chain synthesis of PG-H in micromelial limbs, was decreased. These results suggest that the reduction in the synthesis of PG-H as well as the production of an abnormal form of PG-H during a critical period of limb morphogenesis may be important factors in explaining the micromelia induced by azaserine. 相似文献

We have prepared a high buoyant density proteoglycan fraction from the vitreous humor of 13-day-old chick embryos. Using immunoblot analysis coupled with chondroitinase digestion, we demonstrate that the purified preparation is composed predominantly of type IX collagen-like chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan with an alpha 1(IX) chain Mr approximately 23,000 shorter than the known alpha 1 in cartilage type IX. Also different from cartilage type IX is the size of the chondroitin sulfate chain attached to the alpha 2(IX) polypeptide; its Mr is approximately 350,000 indicating that it is approximately 10 times larger in vitreous humor than in cartilage. Examination of vitreous bodies at different developmental stages indicates that a transition occurs in the size of alpha 1(IX) in a well defined temporal pattern; at about stage 31, a cartilage-type alpha 1(IX) of Mr 84,000 is the predominant species, whereas at stage 36 and thereafter, a Mr 61,000 species appears with a concomitant disappearance of the Mr 84,000 species. Immunostaining for type IX collagen followed by electron microscopic observation of 13-day-old chick embryo vitreous humor reveals a regular D-periodic arrangement of vitreous type IX collagen proteoglycan along thin fibrils. It seems possible that the chondroitin sulfate chains of extraordinarily high viscosity and high molecular weight may extend away from the fibrils, thus contributing to structural as well as functional properties of this unique matrix. 相似文献

Collagen XVIII is the only currently known collagen that carries heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan side chains. The number and location of the glycosaminoglycan attachment sites in the core protein were determined by eukaryotic expression of full-length chick collagen XVIII and site-directed mutagenesis. Three Ser-Gly consensus sequences carrying glycosaminoglycan side chains were detected in the middle and N-terminal part of the core protein. One of the Ser-Gly consensus sequences carried a heparan sulfate side chain, and the remaining two had mixed chondroitin and heparan sulfate side chains; thus, recombinant collagen XVIII was a hybrid of heparan sulfate and chondroitin proteoglycan. In contrast, collagen XVIII from all chick tissues so far assayed have exclusively heparan sulfate side chains, indicating that the posttranslational modification of proteins expressed in vitro is not entirely identical to the processing that occurs in a living embryo. Incubating the various mutated collagen XVIIIs with retinal basement membranes showed that the heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan side chains mediate the binding of collagen XVIII to basement membranes. 相似文献

The cell surface proteoglycan from mouse mammary epithelial cells bears chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25

The cell surface proteoglycan fraction isolated by mild trypsin treatment of NMuMG mouse mammary epithelial cells contains largely heparan sulfate, but also 15-24% chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans. We conclude that this fraction contains a unique hybrid proteoglycan bearing both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans because (i) the proteoglycan behaves as a single species by sizing, ion exchange and collagen affinity chromatography, and by isopycnic centrifugation, even in the presence of 8 M urea or 4 M guanidine hydrochloride, (ii) the behavior of the chondroitin sulfate in these separation techniques is affected by heparan sulfate-specific probes and vice versa, and (iii) proteoglycan core protein bearing both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate is recognized by a single monoclonal antibody. Removal of both types of glycosaminoglycan reduces the proteoglycan to a core protein of approximately 53 kDa. The proteoglycan fraction is heterogeneous in size, largely due to a variable number and/or length of the glycosaminoglycan chains. We estimate that one or two chondroitin sulfate chains (modal Mr of 17,000) exist on the proteoglycan for every four heparan sulfate chains (modal Mr of 36,000). Synthesis of these chains is reportedly initiated on an identical trisaccharide that links the chains to the same amino acid residues on the core protein. Therefore, some regulatory information, perhaps residing in the amino acid sequence of the core protein, must determine the type of chain synthesized at any given linkage site. Post-translational addition of these glycosaminoglycans to the protein may provide information affecting its ultimate localization. It is likely that the protein is directed to specific sites on the cell surface because of the ability of the glycosaminoglycans to recognize and bind extracellular components. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of a third proteoglycan (PG-Lt) from chick embryo cartilage which contains disulfide-bonded collagenous polypeptide 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Chick embryo epiphyseal cartilage has been shown to contain three different proteoglycan species (PG-H, PG-Lb, and PG-Lt). This report is concerned with the purification and characterization of the third proteoglycan, PG-Lt. The proteoglycan can be separated from the other two by virtue of its low buoyant density in a CsCl density gradient and further purified by consecutive ion exchange and gel chromatography. The final preparation is composed of PG-Lt monomer and PG-Lt oligomer. The amino acid composition of PG-Lt is quite different from that of PG-H and PG-Lb and rather resembles that of collagens with respect to high content of glycine and high degrees of hydroxylation of proline and lysine. PG-Lt monomer is composed of disulfide-bonded subunits of Mr congruent to 120,000 and 190,000 as demonstrated by its gel electrophoretic behavior after reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol. The latter, but not the former, contains dermatan sulfate chains with glucuronic acid/iduronic acid residues and yields a protein-enriched core molecule of Mr congruent to 100,000 after digestion with chondroitinase ABC. Both of the protein subunits are completely digestible with bacterial collagenase. Immunofluorescence microscopic examination of cartilage tissues, using an antibody against PG-Lt, shows that this proteoglycan exists in both the cartilage matrix and perichondrial noncartilagenous region. When chondrocytes are plated onto tissue culture dishes, the antibody stains strands found on the cell surfaces and in the intercellular space of substrate-attached cell layers, suggesting that PG-Lt mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-substrate contacts. 相似文献

A panel of monoclonal antibodies prepared to the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans of rat brain was used for their immunocytochemical localization and isolation of individual proteoglycan species by immunoaffinity chromatography. One of these proteoglycans (designated 1D1) consists of a major component with an average molecular size of 300 kDa in 7-day brain, containing a 245-kDa core glycoprotein and an average of three 22-kDa chondroitin sulfate chains. A 1D1 proteoglycan of approximately 180 kDa with a 150-kDa core glycoprotein is also present at 7 days, and by 2-3 weeks postnatal this becomes the major species, containing a single 32-kDa chondroitin 4-sulfate chain. The concentration of 1D1 decreases during development, from 20% of the total chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan protein (0.1 mg/g brain) at 7 days postnatal to 6% in adult brain. A 45-kDa protein which is recognized by the 8A4 monoclonal antibody to rat chondrosarcoma link protein copurifies with the 1D1 proteoglycan, which aggregates to a significant extent with hyaluronic acid. A chondroitin/keratan sulfate proteoglycan (designated 3H1) with a size of approximately 500 kDa was isolated from rat brain using monoclonal antibodies to the keratan sulfate chains. The core glycoprotein obtained after treatment of the 3H1 proteoglycan with chondroitinase ABC and endo-beta-galactosidase decreases in size from approximately 360 kDa at 7 days to approximately 280 kDa in adult brain. In 7-day brain, the proteoglycan contains three to five 25-kDa chondroitin 4-sulfate chains and three to six 8.4-kDa keratan sulfate chains, whereas the adult brain proteoglycan contains two to four chondroitin 4-sulfate chains and eight to nine keratan sulfate chains, with an average size of 10 kDa. The concentration of 3H1 increases during development from 3% of the total soluble proteoglycan protein at 7 days to 11% in adult brain, and there is a developmental decrease in the branching and/or sulfation of the keratan sulfate chains. A third monoclonal antibody (3F8) was used to isolate a approximately 500-kDa chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan comprising a 400-kDa core glycoprotein and an average of four 28-kDa chondroitin sulfate chains. In the 1D1 and 3F8 proteoglycans of 7-day brain, 20 and 33%, respectively, of the chondroitin sulfate is 6-sulfated, whereas chondroitin 4-sulfate accounts for greater than 96% of the glycosaminoglycan chains in the adult brain proteoglycans.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

To characterize proteoglycans in the prechondrogenic limb bud, proteoglycans were extracted with 4 M guanidine HCl containing a detergent and protease inhibitors from Day 13 fetal rat limb buds which had been labeled with [35S]sulfate for 3 h in vitro. About 90% of 35S-labeled proteoglycans was solubilized under the conditions used. The proteoglycan preparation was separated by DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography into three peaks; peak I eluted at 0.45 M NaCl concentration, peak II at 0.52 M, and peak III at 1.4 M. Peaks I and III were identified as proteoglycans bearing heparan sulfate side chains. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan in peak III was larger in hydrodynamic size than the proteoglycan in peak I. The heparan sulfate side chains of peak III proteoglycan were smaller in the size and more abundant in N-sulfated glucosamine than those of peak I proteoglycan. Peak II contained a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan with a core protein of a doublet of Mr 550,000 and 500,000. The chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan was easily solubilized with a physiological salt solution and the heparan sulfate proteoglycan in peak I was partially solubilized with the physiological salt solution. The remainder of the proteoglycan in peak I and the heparan sulfate proteoglycan in peak III could be solubilized effectively only with a solution containing a detergent, such as nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide. This observation indicates the difference in the localization among these three proteoglycans in the developing rat limb bud. 相似文献

Transient expression of a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (syndecan) during limb development 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Syndecan is an integral membrane proteoglycan that contains both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate chains and that links the cytoskeleton to interstitial extracellular matrix components, including collagen and fibronectin. Immunohistochemistry with a monoclonal antibody directed to the core protein of the syndecan ectodomain has been used to analyze the distribution of this proteoglycan in the developing mouse limb bud and in high-density cultures of limb mesenchyme cells. By Day 9 of gestation when the limb buds are just apparent, syndecan is detected on cells throughout the limb region, including both ectodermal and mesenchymal components. This distribution does not change as the limb bud elongates along its proximodistal axis, except for its reduction in the apical ectodermal ridge. By Day 11, the intensity of immunofluorescence in the central core decreases relative to other regions. By Day 13 immunostaining is lost in the regions destined for chondrogenesis and myogenesis but persists in the limb ectoderm and peripheral and distal mesenchyme. In the limb mesenchyme cell cultures, syndecan is initially undetected, but is found throughout the culture by 24 hr. With further culture the antigen becomes reduced in chondrogenic foci and in association with myogenic cells. When chick limb ectoderm is placed on the high-density cultures, immunoreactivity in the mouse mesenchyme is enhanced suggesting that epithelial-mesenchymal interactions modulate syndecan expression in the limb bud. Based on analysis of 35S-labeled syndecan from the cultures, syndecan from limb mesenchyme cells contains more glycosaminoglycan chains and is larger in size than the previously described polymorphic forms of syndecan from various epithelia. The high affinity of syndecan for components of the extracellular matrix and its distribution in the early limb bud are consistent with a role in maintaining the morphologic integrity of the limb bud during the period of initiation and rapid outgrowth, and in preventing the onset of chondrogenesis. 相似文献

Our previous work showed that treatment of chick embryo cartilage proteoglycan (PG-H) with chondroitinase-AC II and keratanase yielded a protein-rich core fraction having enzymatically modified linkage oligosaccharides. The core sample has now been analyzed by tryptic peptide mapping, in which the isolated core sample contained in a single Coomassie blue-staining band from a dried slab gel is radioiodinated and treated with trypsin, and the resultant tryptic peptides are displayed two-dimensionally on a silica gel thin layer plate. The map thus obtained exhibited 22 major peptide spots, the resolution and location of which were reproducible. In order to identify regions of the core polypeptide from which the tryptic peptides are derived, PG-H was cleaved with clostripain under conditions that yield a hyaluronic acid-binding fragment with an apparent Mr = 150,000 and chondroitin sulfate-peptide clusters of smaller molecular sizes. Although the peptide maps of the two size classes of clostripain fragments differed significantly from each other, the patterns of spots, as a whole, were extensively similar to those observed with the intact core molecule. These results have provided additional evidence that PG-H has a single, nonvariable core protein structure. In addition, the technique used here will provide a versatile method for the identification of genetic types in this increasingly complex family of matrix macromolecules. 相似文献

The precursor protein to the chick corneal keratan sulfate proteoglycan was identified by immunoprecipitation with antiserum to its core protein from lysates of [35S]methionine-pulsed corneas and corneal fibroblasts in cell culture. Antiserum to the keratan sulfate proteoglycan immunoprecipitated a doublet of Mr 52,000 and 50,000 and minor amounts of a Mr 40,000 protein from pulsed corneas. Pulse-chase experiments, which permitted the conversion of the precursor proteins to proteoglycans and digestion of the glycosaminoglycans on immunoprecipitated proteoglycans with keratanase or chondroitinase ABC, showed that the Mr 52,000-50,000 doublet was converted to a keratan sulfate proteoglycan and the Mr 40,000 protein was converted to a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Chick corneal fibroblasts in cell culture primarily produced the smaller (Mr50,000) precursor protein, and in the presence of tunicamycin the precursor protein size was reduced to Mr35,000, which indicates that the core protein contains approximately five N-linked oligosaccharides. Pulse-chase experiments with corneal fibroblasts in culture showed that the precursor protein was processed and secreted into the medium. However, its sensitivity to endo-beta-galactosidase and resistance to keratanase indicate that the precursor protein was converted to a glycoprotein with large oligosaccharides and not to a proteoglycan. This suggests that, although the precursor protein for the proteoglycan is produced in cultured corneal fibroblasts, the sulfation enzymes for keratan sulfate may be absent. 相似文献

A sensitive radioactive assay has been developed to facilitate study of the binding to and precipitation of soluble collagen by embryonic proteoglycans. Using this assay it has been found (a) that chick embryo cartilageproteoglycan is reactive with types I, II, and III soluble collagen; and (b) that both the core-protein and chondroitin sulfate chains of the proteoglycan are necessary for this interaction. 相似文献

The splicing pattern of fibronectin mRNA changes during chondrogenesis resulting in an unusual form of the mRNA in cartilage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chondrogenesis, the differentiation of mesenchyme into cartilage, results in a change in composition of the extracellular matrix. The cartilage matrix contains several unique components, including type II collagen and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan; it also contains fibronectin, a glycoprotein that mediates the interaction of cells with their matrix. We show that chick cartilage fibronectin mRNA contains an unusual pattern of alternatively spliced exons. Specifically, it contains exon IIIB but does not contain exon IIIA whereas fibronectin mRNA from mesenchyme contains both exons IIIB and IIIA. Thus the splicing pattern of the fibronectin mRNA must change from B+A+ to B+A- during chondrogenesis. Most fibronectin mRNA in other mesenchymal tissues contains exon IIIA but little exon IIIB (B-A+). Culturing of chondrocytes (cartilage-producing cells) results in loss of exon IIIB from fibronectin mRNA (B-A-). Manipulation of culture conditions to produce more adhesive chondrocytes (treatment with hyaluronidase, transformation with Rous sarcoma virus, and treatment with retinoic acid) increases the amount of fibronectin mRNA containing exon IIIA. These results suggest that exon IIIB may mediate the interactions of chondrocytes with the unique components of the cartilage matrix and exon IIIA may play a role in chondrocyte adhesion. 相似文献

A radioimmune assay has been developed for the quantitative determination and the qualitative identification of core protein of cartilage chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Utilizing this method it has been shown that during differentiation of chick limb bud mesenchyme to cartilage, there is a marked augmentation of synthesis of core protein. Treatment with 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine results in an irreversible inhibition of synthesis of cartilage-specific chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. 相似文献

Modulation of human fetal hepatocyte survival and differentiation by interactions with a rat liver epithelial cell line 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Our recent studies have shown that chick embryo epiphyseal cartilage synthesizes three distinct species of proteoglycan (PG-H, PG-Lb, and PG-Lt) which are analogous in having glycosaminoglycan side chains of the chondroitin (dermatan) sulfate type but different from one another in regard to the structure of core protein. In the present report, the expression of PG-H and PG-Lb has been studied in developing chick hind limbs (stages 19-33), using antibodies specific for these substances in indirect immunofluorescence. At the onset of cartilage morphogenesis (stage 24), PG-H became recognizable in the cartilage primordia, whereas a parallel section stained for PG-Lb showed no reaction. The first evidence of PG-Lb appearance was seen in a stage 28 cartilage (e.g., tibia) in which the cells in the middiaphysis became elongated in a direction perpendicular to the long axis of the cartilage. The PG-Lb fluorescence was confined to the zone of these flattened, disc-like cells, whereas the fluorescence for PG-H was uniformly distributed throughout the cartilage. With further development of cartilage (stage 29 approximately), the zone of flattened cells spread proximally and distally, and simultaneously large hypertrophied cells appeared at the diaphyseal region. During these zonal changes of cell morphology, the PG-Lb fluorescence remained restricted to the zone of flattened cells. Parallel sections stained for PG-H, in contrast, showed an evenly distributed pattern of the PG-H fluorescence throughout the cartilage. The results indicate that the appearance of PG-Lb is closely associated with the zonal changes of cell shape and orientation along the proximal-distal axis of the developing limb cartilage, and further suggest that the flattened chondrocytes in this particular zone have undergone additional changes in gene expression to form an extracellular matrix of still another chemical property. 相似文献

Proteoglycans of developing bone 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
L W Fisher J D Termine S W Dejter S W Whitson M Yanagishita J H Kimura V C Hascall H K Kleinman J R Hassell B Nilsson 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1983,258(10):6588-6594
We purified and characterized the bone proteoglycans from fetal calves, growing rats, and human fetuses. The major proteoglycan is part of the mineralized tissue matrix and only 10-20% can be extracted prior to demineralization. This bone proteoglycan is a small glycoconjugate (Mr = 80,000-120,000) containing approximately 20-30% protein and either one or two chondroitin sulfate chains (Mr = 40,000) attached to a relatively monodisperse protein core (Mr = 38,000). "O"-linked and "N"-linked oligosaccharide units are also present. Antibodies directed against the protein core of calf bone proteoglycan do not cross-react with cartilage, skin, corneal, or basement membrane proteoglycans in immunoassays and have minimal cross-reactivity with scleral proteoglycans. Quantitative immunoassays and indirect immunofluorescence were used to show that the molecule is localized to forming bone trabeculae and dentin, but not to any other tissue. Osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells adjacent to areas undergoing rapid osteogenesis also contain this small proteoglycan. A second proteoglycan (Mr approximately equal to 1,000,000) was extracted from newly forming bone prior to demineralization. This large proteoglycan, which was isolated from the cartilage-free areas of developing intramembranous bone, has a protein core similar to that of the cartilage aggregating proteoglycan and cross-reacts with antisera raised against these cartilage proteoglycans but not with the small mineral-entrapped proteoglycan. It contains larger (Mr = 40,000) and fewer chondroitin sulfate chains than its cartilage-derived analogue, and is localized to the soft connective tissue mesenchyme lying between growing bone trabeculae. More fully formed compact bone did not contain detectable quantities of this proteoglycan. 相似文献

The structure, biosynthesis, and metabolism of proteoglycans in the HL-60 human promyelocytes were studied by metabolic labeling in culture with [35S]sulfate, [3H]glucosamine, [3H]serine, and [3H]leucine. These cells synthesize a single predominant species of intracellular proteoglycan with an approximate molecular weight of 100,000. The cells contain about 1 microgram of proteoglycan/million cells. The proteoglycan is turned over within the cells in two apparent pools with half-lives of about 0.6 and 27 h, respectively. The fast pool represents secretion into medium in an apparently intact form, whereas the slow pool represents intracellular degradation to free chondroitin sulfate chains and smaller fragments. The proteoglycan contains a protein core with an apparent Mr on gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of about 20,000-30,000. To the core protein are attached an average of six or seven chondroitin sulfate chains, each with an Mr of about 10,000. The chondroitin sulfate chains contain approximately 85% 4-sulfated and approximately 15% nonsulfated disaccharides. The chondroitin sulfate attachment region of the core protein is essentially resistant to trypsin and elastase, whereas the remainder of the protein core is readily degraded by proteases. The size of the chondroitin sulfate attachment region peptide generated by trypsin was estimated to be approximately 5 kDa. Based on the molecular size, distribution of amino acids, protease susceptibility, and the extent of O-glycosylation, we propose that the intracellular proteoglycan characterized in this study is the translation product of a proteoglycan gene reported to be present in these cells (Stevens, R.L., Avraham, S., Gartner, M.C., Bruns, G.A., Austen, K.E., and Weis, J.H. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 7287-7291). 相似文献
