BACKGROUND Interstital cystitis is often treated with exogenous glycosaminoglycans such as heparin, chondroitin sulphate (Uracyst), hyaluronate (Cystistat) or the semi-synthetic pentosan polysulphate (Elmiron). The mechanism of action is presumed to be due to a coating of the bladder surface to replace the normally present chondroitin sulphate and heparan sulphate lost as a result of the diseas...
The nature and relative proportions of acid mucopolysacharides (AMPS) in mitral valves of normal individuals and individuals with rheumatic valvular disease were compared. The total AMPS content of valves from rheumatic patients under 21 years of age is significantly higher than that from older rheumatic patients and higher than that from age-matched normal controls. The major AMPS components o...
Previously, we demonstrated that sog9 cells, a murine L cell mutant, are deficient in the expression of C4ST (chondroitin 4-O-sulfotransferase)-1 and that they synthesize fewer and shorter CS (chondroitin sulfate) chains. These results suggested that C4ST-1 regulates not only 4-O-sulfation of CS, but also the length and amount of CS chains; however, the mechanism remains unclear. In the present...
The predominant subclasses of mast cells in both the rat and the mouse can be distinguished from one another by their preferential synthesis of 35S-labeled proteoglycans that contain either heparin or oversulfated chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans. Although [35S]heparin proteoglycans have been isolated from human lung mast cells of 40-70% purity and from a skin biopsy specimen of a patient...
s-The uronic acid-containing glycosaminoglycans present in the brains of rat, monkey, chicken, sheep and rabbit were isolated into various fractions by combining the cetyl pyridinium procedure and DEAE-Sephadex column Chromatography. The analyses of the fractions show that hyaluronic acid, chondroitin4sulphate, chondroitin-6-sulphate, heparan sulphate and a testicular hyaluronidase-resistant ga...
1. An enzyme, “chondroitinase-ABC,” has been purified to apparent homogeneity from extracts of Proteus vulgaris, NCTC 4636, which was adapted on a medium containing chondroitin sulfate C. It has the following properties. (a) At pH 8, it degrades chondroitin sulfates A, B, and C at greater rates than chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. It does not attack keratosulfate, heparin, or heparitin sulfate...
Experimental studies have established that the sulfated glycosaminoglycans heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate act as co-receptors of cytokines and growth factors that drive the malignant cell phenotype and the remodelling of the surrounding tumor stroma. However, the clinical relevance of these studies remains ill-defined. The present study investigates the significance of chondroitin sulf...
Abstract Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a widely studied class of glycosaminoglycans, responsible for diverse biological functions. Structural analysis CS generally based on disaccharide analysis. Sample preparation key analytical issue in this case. However, detailed study the stability and recovery CS-derived species has been lacking so far. We have found that solvent exchange, general, vacuum e...
BACKGROUND Glucosamine and chondroitin are popular non-vitamin dietary supplements used for osteoarthritis. Long-term use is associated with lower incidence of colorectal and lung cancers and with lower mortality; however, the mechanism underlying these observations is unknown. In vitro and animal studies show that glucosamine and chondroitin inhibit NF-kB, a central mediator of inflammation, b...
BACKGROUND Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are used to treat osteoarthritis. The multicenter, double-blind, placebo- and celecoxib-controlled Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT) evaluated their efficacy and safety as a treatment for knee pain from osteoarthritis. METHODS We randomly assigned 1583 patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis to receive 1500 mg of g...
