    Heparan Sulfate purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Microbiol Spectr. 2025 Nov 13:e0234125.  [Abstract]

    Virus load experiment on RSV F protein gene expression treated with andrographolide (12.5 µM; 26.5 h), Heparan Sulfate (HS, 5 mg/mL; 26.5 h), or their combination.

    Heparan Sulfate purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Biomolecules. 2024 Oct 19;14(10):1331.  [Abstract]

    To confirm the interaction of P25 with receptor Heparan Sulfate (HS) on the cell surface, 50 µL P25 or its derivatives at a concentration of 62.5 µg/mL were pre-incubated with 50 µL cell-free HS at different concentrations of 0–0.5 mg/mL at 37 °C for 1 h, mixed with 100 TCID50/50 µL of EV-A71/FY0805, and infected the pre-seeding RD monolayer cells on 96-well plates for 24 h. The CPE was detected and stained using crystal violet. The optical density (OD) at 550 nm was read using the TECAN Infinite 200 PRO instrument.The results showed that HS diminished the infection inhibitions of P25s.

    In Vitro

    Heparan sulfate is a linear polysaccharide and belongs to the family of glycosaminoglycans. Heparan sulfate is composed of glucuronic acid (GlcA) and iduronic acid (IdoA) residues as well as N-acetyl glucosamines (GlcNAc) with various sulfation modifications, and is typically 50-200 disaccharides in length. Heparan sulfate interacts with numerous proteins, including growth factors, morphogens, and adhesion molecules, and thereby regulates important developmental processes in invertebrates and vertebrates. Heparan sulfate chains regulate developmental signaling by acting as co-factors through a variety of mechanisms that include but are not limited to maintenance of morphogen gradients and co-receptor functions[1]. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans can act as receptors for proteases and protease inhibitors regulating their spatial distribution and activity. Membrane Heparan sulfate proteoglycans act as coreceptors for various tyrosine kinase-type growth factor receptors, lowering their activation threshold or changing the duration of signaling reactions[2]. Heparan sulfate influences the binding affinity of intestinal epithelium cells to Wnt, thereby promoting activation of canonical Wnt signaling and facilitating regeneration of small intestinal crypts after epithelial injury[3].

    In Vivo

    Digestion of heparan sulfate impairs context discrimination in a fear conditioning paradigm and oscillatory network activity in the low theta band after fear conditioning. Thus, heparan sulfate maintains neuronal excitability and, as a consequence, support synaptic plasticity and learning[4]. FGF-2/FGFR system is involved in the regulation of astrocytic reactivity and/or proliferation in the brain and its action is potentiated by heparan sulfate[5].

    Rats: Sprague-Dawley male rats 3-4 months old receive aspiration of a small segment of the motor-sensory cortex in both hemispheres. Groups of rats (n=5) receive a piece of Gelfoam embedded with human recombinant FGF-2, heparan sulfate (10 kg/mL; sodium salt, bovine kidney) dissolved in PBS, or both, in the right hemisphere. The wound cavity of the left hemisphere receives a piece of Gelfoam embedded with saline[5].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
