Project description:Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are expressed on virtually all animal cells and are involved in many important biological processes. Each HSPG consists of a core protein with one or more covalently attached linear heparan sulfate (HS) chains composed of alternating glucosamine and uronic acids that are heterogeneously N- and O-sulfated. The arrangement and orientation of the sulfated sugar residues of HS specify the location of distinct ligand binding sites on the cell surface, and these modifications can vary temporally during development and spatially across tissues. While most of the enzymes involved in HS biosynthesis have been studied extensively, much less information exists regarding the specific mechanisms that give rise to the variable composition and binding properties of HS.

Project description:Heparan (HS) proteoglycans (HSPGs) are common on the cell surface and mediate many physiological processes. Binding of HSPG ligands is determined by the sulfation code on the heparan sulfate chain and the HS chain can be N-/2-O/6-O- or 3-O-sulfated, generating a heterogenous sulfation pattern. 3-O sulfated HS (3S-HS) have been reported to play a role in several pathological processes such as the coagulation system, viral pathogenesis, or in the binding and internalization of tau in Alzheimer’s disease. Few 3S-HS-specific interactors are known and the role of 3S-HS in health and disease is limited, especially in the central nervous system. Using human CSF as a surrogate for the extracellular compartment of the CNS, we determined the interactome of synthetic heparan sulfate oligosaccharides with defined sulfation patterns. These AE-MS studies significantly expand the proteins that can interact with HS and for which 3O sulfation is required. LRP1 was found as a novel 3S-HS interactor, requiring GlcA-GlcNS6S3S for binding, similar to ATIII. Both interactions were validated via Western blot. Our dataset brings forward new HS and 3S-HS ligands which can be pertinent to unravel molecular mechanisms dependent on 3S-HS in (patho)physiological conditions.

Project description:FGF signaling is essential for salivary gland (SG) development and heparan sulfate (HS) regulation of FGFR function is determined by immense structural diversity of sulfated HS domains. The basement membrane (BM), containing HS proteoglycans, collagens and laminins, separates epithelia from stroma and controls growth factor-matrix cross-talk. 3-O-sulfotransferases generate highly 3-O-sulfated HS domains (3-O-HS) and Hs3st3a1 and Hs3st3b1 are enriched in myoepithelial cells (MECs), which produce BM and are a growth factor signaling hub. To investigate 3-O-HS regulation of MEC function and growth factor signaling, we generated Hs3st3a1;Hs3st3b1 double knockout (DKO) mice. The DKO HS loses specific highly 3-O-sulfated tetrasaccharides, which increases FGF/FGFR-complex binding to HS. During development this leads to increased FGFR-, BM- and MEC-related gene expression. However, in adult DKO SGs the secretory units containing acinar and MECs, have reduced MECs, increased BM and disrupted acinar polarity, resulting in salivary hypofunction. We used defined 3-O-sulfated-HS in FGFR pulldown assays and primary organ cultures to investigate 3-O-HS-dependent mechanisms regulating MEC development. We find that 3-O-HS modulates FGFR signaling to regulate MEC BM synthesis which is critical for secretory unit homeostasis and acinar function. Understanding how sulfated HS regulates development will inform the use of HS mimetics in organ regeneration.

Project description:Ectodomain shedding, which is the proteolytic release of transmembrane proteins from the cell surface, is crucial for cell-to-cell communication and other biological processes. The metalloproteinase ADAM17 mediates ectodomain shedding of over 50 transmembrane proteins ranging from cytokines and growth factors, such as TNF and EGFR ligands, to signaling receptors and adhesion molecules. Yet, the ADAM17 sheddome is only partly defined and biological functions of the protease have not been fully characterized. Some ADAM17 substrates (e.g. HB-EGF) are known to bind to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), and we hypothesised that such substrates would be under-represented in traditional secretome analyses, due to their binding to cell surface or pericellular HSPGs. Thus, to identify novel HSPG-binding ADAM17 substrates, we developed a proteomic workflow that involves addition of heparin to solubilize HSPG-binding proteins from the cell layer, thereby allowing their mass spectrometry detection by heparin-secretome (HEP-SEC) analysis. Applying this methodology to murine embryonic fibroblasts stimulated with an ADAM17 activator enabled us to identify 47 transmembrane proteins that were shed in response to ADAM17 activation. This included known HSPG-binding ADAM17 substrates (i.e. HB-EGF, CX3CL1) and 14 novel HSPG-binding putative ADAM17 substrates.

Project description:Sepsis patients are at increased risk for hospital-acquired pulmonary infections, potentially due to post-septic immunosuppression known as the compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS). CARS has been attributed to leukocyte dysfunction, with an unclear role for endothelial cells. The pulmonary circulation is lined by an endothelial glycocalyx, a heparan sulfate-rich layer essential to pulmonary homeostasis. Heparan sulfate degradation occurs early in sepsis, leading to lung injury. Endothelial synthesis of new heparan sulfates subsequently allows for glycocalyx reconstitution and endothelial recovery. We hypothesized that remodeling of the reconstituted endothelial glycocalyx, mediated by alterations in the endothelial machinery responsible for heparan sulfate synthesis, contributes to CARS. Our experimental animal model of CARS recapitulated post-septic immunosuppression, coincidentally with structural remodeling of endothelial glycocalyx heparan sulfate. We used microarray to identify which heparan sulfate modifying enzyme is responsible for the remodeling of post-septic reconstituted glycocalyx, characterized with enrichment of heparan sulfate disaccharides sulfated at the 6-O position of glucosamine.

Project description:Heparan sulfate (HS) is an anionic polysaccharide generated by all animal cells. Studies in model organisms have revealed some of its critical developmental roles, though HS role in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) self-renewal and differentiation is poorly understood. We, therefore, generated HS-deficient hPSCs by disrupting EXT1 glycosyltransferase. The depletion of heparan sulfate resulted in impaired differentiation of EXT1-/- cells to the mesendoderm lineage. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms behind defective ME differentiation, we further assessed the global transcriptomic profiles of wildtype (WT) and EXT1-/- hPSCs following directed differentiation. The hierarchical gene clustering showed that the upregulated genes were mainly associated with neuronal development, whereas the downregulated genes were associated with extracellular matrix organization and regulation of signal transduction. Consistent with these findings, EXT1-/- hPSCs failed to activate FGF and Nodal pathways during mesendoderm induction. These results underscore the previously unexplored roles of heparan sulfate in the Activin/Nodal pathway. Taken together, our study provides insight into the mechanistic roles of HS in hPSC fate decisions.

Project description:The general area of research interests of my lab is the glycobiology of HSPGs in cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions and growth factor signalling. Heparan sulfate binding proteins in neural development and differentiation. We used the Glyco-gene Chips to study the gene expression responses of mouse neural cells to heparin-binding growth factors. The experimental systems studied is in vivo (developing mouse brain). The goal is to examine the global responses of neural cells to particular growth factors during differentiation in terms of effects on HS biosynthetic enzymes and proteoglycan core proteins, as well as growth factors and their receptors. Analysis of A) P1 mouse brain wild type for Heparan sulfate 2-O sulfotransferase (HS2ST) and B) heterozygous for Heparan sulfate 2-O sulfotransferase (HS2ST) loss of function mutation.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells continuously decide whether to maintain pluripotency or differentiate. While exogenous LIF and BMP4 perpetuate a pluripotent state, less is known about factors initiating differentiation. We show that heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans are critical co-receptors for signals inducing ES cell differentiation. Genetic targeting of NDST1 and 2, two enzymes required for N-sulfation of proteoglycans, blocked differentiation. This phenotype was rescued by HS presented in trans or by soluble heparin. NaClO3-, which reduces sulfation of proteoglycans, potently blocked differentiation of wild type cells. Mechanistically, N-sulfation was identified to be critical for functional autocrine FGF4 signalling. Micro array analysis identified the pluripotency maintaining transcription factors Nanog, KLF2/4/8, Tbx3 and Tcf3 to be negatively regulated, whereas markers of differentiation such as Gbx2, Dnmt3b, FGF5 and Brachyury were induced by sulfation-dependent-FGFR signalling. We show that several of these genes are heterogeneously expressed in ES cells and targeting of heparan sulfation or FGFR-signalling facilitated a homogenous Nanog/KLF4/Tbx3 positive ES cell state. This finding suggests that the recently discovered heterogeneous state of ES cells is regulated by HS-dependent FGFR signalling. Similarly, culturing blastocysts with NaClO3- eliminated GATA6 positive primitive endoderm progenitors generating a homogenous Nanog positive inner cell mass. Functionally, reduction of sulfation robustly improved de novo ES cell derivation efficiency. We conclude that N-sulfated HS is required for FGF4 signalling to maintain ES cells primed for differentiation in a heterogeneous state. Inhibiting this pathway facilitates a more naïve ground state.

Project description:Heparan sulfate (HS) is a linear, sulfated polysaccharide, and expresses abundantly in prostate and PCa tissues. Intriguingly, the HS content and sulfation modifications appear to increase when the prostate becomes malignance, suggesting that HS may critically modulate PCa pathogenesis. We specifically ablated Ext1, the enzyme that initiates HS biosynthesis, in mouse prostate at late development stage. And used microarray to detail the gene expressions affected by Ext1 ablation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.
