Project description:We are requesting a gene microarray analysis for 10 cell lines that are pertinent to human non-small lung cancer. A main focus of ours has been the role that Sulf-2 plays in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sulf-2 is an extracellular sulfatase that acts on internal glucosamine-6-sulfates within heparan sulfate chains. Sulf-2 can activate Wnt signaling, as well as modulate other signaling pathways. Our recent work (Oncogene 29:635, 2010) has shown that Sulf-2 is required for the malignant phenotype of five human NSCLC cell lines (increased migration, increased growth, growth in soft agar, and tumorigenecity in nude mice). Because Sulf-2 acts on HSPGs to regulate signaling, we are interesting in the HSGP core proteins that are expressed in these cell lines, so that candidates for the Sulf-2 substrate can be identified. In addition we would like to define the expression of heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfatransferase (3 genes) to see whether these genes are upregulated in cells that depend on Sulf-2 for their malignant phenotype. Finally, gene profiling will define which Wnt ligands and Wnt receptors (Frizzled''s) are expressed in the cells. We are asking for gene profiling on the 5 Sulf-2 expressing NSCLC lines previously studied (H292, H460, P-ST, B-ST, and Calu-6), 3 Sulf-2 negative NSCLC lines (H1299, H1703, H1975) and two normal bronchial epithelial cell populations (B-C, P-C). All of the cells are human in origin. There are a total of 10 cell types. With 3 repicates for each, the request is for 30 arrays.

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:Tauopathies are a class of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, and are characterized by intraneuronal tau inclusion in the brain and the patient’s cognitive decline with obscure pathogenesis. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans, a major type of extracellular matrix, have been believed to involve in tauopathies. The heparan sulfate proteoglycans co-deposit with tau in Alzheimer’s patient brain, directly bind to tau and modulate tau secretion, internalization, and aggregation. This review summarizes the current understanding of the functions and the modulated molecular pathways of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in tauopathies, as well as the implication of dysregulated heparan sulfate proteoglycan expression in tau pathology and the potential of targeting heparan sulfate proteoglycan-tau interaction as a novel therapeutic option.

Project description:Standardized skin wounds were established surgically on mice and allowed to heal during a 15-day period. Expression of genes related to heparan sulfate biosynthesis was studied in wound bed and edges during the healing process. Total RNA was isolated from wound edge (regenerating skin) and wound bed at 2, 6 and 15 days post wounding, as well as from intact control skin. Three animals were used for each time point.

Project description:The arterial endothelium’s response to its flow environment is critical to vascular homeostasis. The endothelial glycocalyx has been shown to play a major role in mechanotransduction, but the extent to which the components of the glycocalyx affect the overall function of the endothelium remains unclear. The objective of this study was to further elucidate the role of heparan sulfate as a mechanosensor on the surface of the arterial endothelium, by (1) expanding the variety of shear waveforms investigated, (2) continuously suppressing heparan sulfate expression rather than using a pre-flow batch treatment, and (3) performing microarray analysis on post-flow samples. Porcine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to non-reversing, reversing, and oscillatory shear waveforms for 24 hours with or without continuous heparan sulfate suppression with heparinase. All shear waveforms significantly increased the amount of heparan sulfate on the surface of the endothelium. Suppression of heparan sulfate to less than 25% of control levels did not inhibit shear-induced cell alignment or nitric oxide production, or alter gene expression, for any of the shear waveforms investigated. We infer that heparan sulfate on the surface of porcine aortic endothelial cells is not the primary mechanosensor for many shear-responsive endothelial cell functions in this species. Porcine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to 3 different shear waveforms for 24 hours with or without the addition of 300 mU/ml heparinase III to the flow media. The shear waveforms inculded Non-reversing (15 ± 15 dyne/cm2, 1 Hz), Steady (15 dyne/cm2), or Oscillatory (0 ± 15 dyne/cm2, 1 Hz) shear. Four replicates of each condition were performed for a total of 24 experiments. Each experimental sample was hybridized to an oligonucleotide array along with a standard reference sample (static cells).

Project description:The surface proteoglycan/glycoprotein layer (glycocalyx) on tumor cells has been associated with cellular functions that can potentially enable invasion and metastasis. In addition, aggressive tumor cells with high metastatic potential have enhanced invasion rates in response to interstitial flow stimuli in vitro. Our previous studies suggest that heparan sulfate (HS) in the glycocalyx plays an important role in this flow mediated mechanostransduction and upregulation of invasive and metastatic potential. In this study, highly metastatic renal cell carcinoma cells were genetically modified to suppress HS production by knocking down its synthetic enzyme NDST1. Using modified Boyden chamber and microfluidic assays, we show that flow-enhanced invasion is suppressed in HS deficient cells. To assess the ability of these cells to metastasize in vivo, parental or knockdown cells expressing fluorescence reporters were injected into kidney capsules in SCID mice. Histological analysis confirmed that there was a large reduction (95%) in metastasis to distant organs by tumors formed from the NDST1 knockdown cells compared to control cells with intact HS. The ability of these cells to invade surrounding tissue was also impaired. The substantial inhibition of metastasis and invasion upon reduction of HS suggests an active role for the tumor cell glycocalyx in tumor progression.

Project description:Heparan sulfate-modified proteoglycans (HSPGs) are important regulators of signaling and molecular recognition at the cell surface and in the extracellular space. Disruption of HSPG core proteins, HS-synthesis, or HS-degradation can have profound effects on growth, patterning, and cell survival. The Drosophila neuromuscular junction provides a tractable model for understanding the activities of HSPGs at a synapse that displays developmental and activity-dependent plasticity. Muscle cell-specific knockdown of HS biosynthesis disrupted the organization of a specialized postsynaptic membrane, the subsynaptic reticulum (SSR), and affected the number and morphology of mitochondria. We provide evidence that these changes result from a dysregulation of macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy). Cellular and molecular markers of autophagy are all consistent with an increase in the levels of autophagy in the absence of normal HS-chain biosynthesis and modification. HS production is also required for normal levels of autophagy in the fat body, the central energy storage and nutritional sensing organ in Drosophila. Genetic mosaic analysis indicates that HS-dependent regulation of autophagy occurs non-cell autonomously, consistent with HSPGs influencing this cellular process via signaling in the extracellular space. These findings demonstrate that HS biosynthesis has important regulatory effects on autophagy and that autophagy is critical for normal assembly of postsynaptic membrane specializations.
