  2. 1. Syndecan-1 insights in mesothelioma

    Author : Ghazal Heidari-Hamedani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Syndecan-1 is a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan expressing on epithelial cells. Heparan sulfate (HS) chains on syndecan-1 constitute growth factor attachment sites and facilitate growth factors to bind their respective receptors. This binding property of HS chains allows syndecan-1 to be involved in various cellular processes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Circulating proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans during critical illness

    Author : Axel Nelson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heparan sulphate; glycocalyx; hyaluronic acid; syndecan; permeability; antimicrobial;

    Abstract : The endothelial glycocalyx is the carbohydrate rich inner layer of the blood vessels. Important components of the glycocalyx are the proteoglycans with their attached glycosaminoglycans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Role of Heparan Sulfate N-sulfation in Mouse Embryonic Development

    Author : Anders Dagälv; Lena Kjellén; Svein Kolset; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heparan sullfate; heparin; proteoglycan; NDST1; NDST2; coreprotein; syndecan; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan expressed by all cells in the body. It is found at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix where it binds a large amount of various ligands including growth factors and morphogens. READ MORE

  6. 4. Endocytosis of therapeutic macromolecules in tumor cells - Mechanistic aspects of the proteoglycan receptor function

    Author : Anders Wittrup; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LL-37; heparan sulfate; glypican; endocytosis; drug delivery; DNA uptake; Cancer; cell penetrating peptides; non-viral gene delivery; organelle purification; proteoglycan; syndecan.;

    Abstract : Novel therapeutics to combat cancer are urgently needed. Most current pharmacological therapies have severe side effects and are seldom curative. Macromolecular drugs, and in particular nucleic acid based drugs, offer a potential remedy for this situation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on syndecan-1 in mesenchymal tumors

    Author : Fang Zong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The syndecans are a four-member family of type I transmembrane proteoglycans. Their core proteins have a short cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain and a large N-terminal extracellular domain possessing glycosaminoglycan chains. All the protein domains and the glycosaminoglycan chains can contribute to the functions of syndecans. READ MORE
