Disease relevance of Sdc2

 

High impact information on Sdc2

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Sdc2

  • Our findings suggest that both osmotic and nonosmotic mechanisms are operative in dysregulation of glycopeptide metabolism by high-glucose medium and that reduced synthesis by the GEC may contribute to decreased content of GBM HSPG in diabetic nephropathy [8].
  • Heparan sulfate (HS)/heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) and bikunin are up-regulated during calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in rat kidney [9].
 

Biological context of Sdc2

  • Early introduction of syndecan-2 cDNA into immature hippocampal neurons, by transient transfection, accelerates spine formation from dendritic protrusions [10].
  • The results obtained indicated the existence of two pools of detergent-solubilized HSPG with fast (t1/2 = 6 h) and slow (t1/2 = 55 h) turnover kinetics [11].
  • During cell shape changes on rounding and spreading, HSPG and FN may not co-distribute [12].
  • Deletion of the COOH-terminal EFYA motif of syndecan-2, the binding site for PDZ domain proteins, abrogates the spine-promoting activity of syndecan-2 [10].
  • Syndecan and fibroglycan mRNA levels also varied as a function of cell density [13].
 

Anatomical context of Sdc2

  • The predicted protein sequence (23 kDa) has a high degree of homology with the published partial sequence of the human lung fibroblast HSPG, fibroglycan [14].
  • It was also localized in biosynthetic compartments (rough ER and Golgi cisternae) of hepatocytes, suggesting that this HSPG is synthesized and deposited in the space of Disse by the hepatocyte [15].
  • Overexpression of alpha i-3 on Golgi membranes in transfected cells retarded the secretion of HSPG and accumulated precursors in the medial-trans-Golgi [16].
  • We have also pinpointed the in vivo position of anticoagulantly active HSPG within the blood vessel wall [17].
  • We have studied the interaction of 125I-antithrombin (125I-AT) with microvascular endothelial cells (RFPEC) to localize the cellular site of anticoagulantly active heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) [17].
 

Associations of Sdc2 with chemical compounds

  • The putative ectodomain, which has 85% homology to fibroglycan, contains three possible glycosaminoglycan attachment sites that may be occupied by heparan sulfate chains [14].
  • When the purified HSPG fractions were further separated by octyl-Sepharose chromatography, very little HSPG in the incubation media bound to the octyl-Sepharose, whereas 40-55% of that in the cell layers bound and could be eluted with 1% Triton X-100 [18].
  • Based upon the above data, we propose a model whereby luminal and abluminal anticoagulantly active HSPG regulate coagulation mechanism activity [17].
  • Constitutive secretory vesicles carrying heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) were identified in isolated rat hepatocytes by pulse-chase experiments with [35S]sulfate and purified by velocity-controlled sucrose gradient centrifugation followed by equilibrium density centrifugation in Nycodenz [19].
  • The intact, fully glycosylated HSPG migrated as a broad smear (150-300 kD) by SDS-PAGE, but after deglycosylation with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid only a single approximately 40-kD band was seen [15].
 

Regulatory relationships of Sdc2

 

Other interactions of Sdc2

  • We now show that cells transfected with syndecan-2 or syndecan-4 also bind collagen and are non-invasive [21].
  • Upon purification and deglycosylation, an antiserum to rat liver HSPGs that reacts primarily with syndecan-2 showed a strong signal corresponding to this protein and three weaker bands that may represent additional syndecans. mRNAs for syndecan-1, -2, and -4 were present in the cultures [22].
  • Specifically, the level of expression of syndecan-2 and -4 and glypican mRNAs increased as the cells differentiated from proliferative late progenitors to postmitotic mature cells [23].
  • The levels of syndecan-2 and syndecan-3 mRNAs were not altered significantly after balloon injury [24].
  • When these cells differentiated into osteoblasts, they expressed syndecan-2 and -4 coincidently with FGFR-1, -2, and -3 at 9 days of culture [25].
