Basement Membrane Components

The distribution of basement membrane and extracellular matrix components laminin, fibronectin, type IV collagen and heparan sulphate proteoglycan was examined during posterior neuropore closure and secondary neurulation in the mouse embryo. During posterior neuropore closure, these components were densely deposited in basement membranes of neuroepithelium, blood vessels, gut and notochord; although deposition was sparse in the midline of the regressing primitive streak. During secondary neurulation, mesenchymal cells formed an initial aggregate near the dorsal surface, which canalized and merged with the anterior neuroepithelium. With aggregation, fibronectin and heparan sulphate proteoglycan were first detected at the base of a 3- to 4-layer zone of radially organized cells. With formation of a lumen within the aggregate, laminin and type IV collagen were also deposited in the forming basement membrane. During both posterior neuropore closure and secondary neurulation, fibronectin and heparan sulphate proteoglycan were associated with the most caudal portion of the neuroepithelium, the region where newly formed epithelium merges with the consolidated neuroepithelium. In regions of neural crest migration, the deposition of basement membrane components was altered, lacking laminin and type IV collagen, with increased deposition of fibronectin and heparan sulphate proteoglycan.

Rabbit Lens

Rabbit lens epithelial cells display a similar "cobblestone" morphology and produce the same complement of sulphated macromolecules (also see Heathcote, J.G., and R.W. Orkin, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 99:852-860) whether grown on plastic or glass, dried films of gelatin or type IV collagen with laminin, or on gels of type I collagen. There was no evidence of basement membrane formation by these cells when they were grown on plastic, glass, or dried films. In contrast, cultures that had been grown on gels deposited a discrete basement membrane that followed the contours of the basal surfaces of the cells and in addition, they secreted amorphous basement membrane-like material that diffused into the interstices of the gel and associated with the collagen fibrils of the gel. A significant proportion (approximately 70%) of the heparan sulphate proteoglycan fraction that was secreted into the culture medium (fraction MI) when the cells were grown on plastic became associated with the cell-gel layer in the gel cultures. Further, when basement membrane was isolated by detergent extraction, greater than 90% of the 35S-labeled material present was in this heparan sulphate proteoglycan.

Abstract We previously demonstrated that proteoglycan accumulated in the affected skin of circumscribed pretibial myxedema of Graves' disease. As an underlying mechanism responsible for the accumulation, we sought to determine whether excess thyroid hormone was partially responsible for the increase in proteoglycan synthesis. Human skin fibroblasts were cultured in Ham's F-10 medium containing 1% Nutridoma with graded doses of T3 (0.184 × 10−9 to 46 × 10−9 mol/l) and were labelled with [35S]sulphate and [3H]glucosamine. Proteoglycans were purified by Sephadex G-50, Q-Sepharose chromatography with NaCl-gradient and Sepharose CL-6B chromatography. 35S and 3H incorporated into dermatan sulphate proteoglycan and heparan sulphate proteoglycan and 3H incorporated into hyaluronan were measured. 35S and 3H incorporation into dermatan sulphate proteoglycan was minimum at a T3 concentration of 0.184 × 10−9 mol/l, and increased with increasing doses of T3 up to 46 × 10−9 mol/l. 35S and 3H incorporation into heparan sulphate proteoglycan also increased with increasingdoses of T3. 3H incorporation into hyaluronan was not influenced at all by T3. The increased incorporation of 35S into proteoglycan in high-T3 culture reflects the increased synthesis of proteoglycan because 1. the extent of sulphation of disaccharides examined by thin-layer chromatography was not altered by T3; 2. the specific activity of [35S]sulphate was not influenced by T3, and 3. T3 did not decrease the degradation rate of cell-associated proteoglycan.

Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan

Proteoglycans on the cell surface play critical roles in the adhesion of fibroblasts to a fibronectin-containing extracellular matrix, including the model mouse cell line Balb/c 3T3. In order to evaluate the biochemistry of these processes, long-term [35S]sulphate-labelled proteoglycans were extracted quantitatively from the adhesion sites of 3T3 cells, after their EGTA-mediated detachment from the substratum, by using an extractant containing 1% octyl glucoside, 1 M-NaCl and 0.5 M-guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl) in buffer with many proteinase inhibitors. Greater than 90% of the material was identified as a large chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (Kav. = 0.4 on a Sepharose CL2B column), and the remainder was identified as a smaller heparan sulphate proteoglycan; only small amounts of free chains of glycosaminoglycan were observed in these sites. These extracts were fractionated on DEAE-Sepharose columns under two different sets of elution conditions: with acetate buffer (termed DEAE-I) or with acetate buffer supplemented with 8 M-urea (termed DEAE-II). Under DEAE-I conditions about one-half of the material was eluted as a single peak and the remainder required 4 M-GdnHCl in order to recover it from the column; in contrast, greater than 90% of the material was eluted as a single peak from DEAE-II columns. Comparison of the elution of [35S]sulphate-labelled proteoglycan with that of 3H-labelled proteins from these two columns, as well as mixing experiments, indicated that the GdnHCl-sensitive proteoglycans were trapped at the top of columns, partially as a consequence of their association with proteins in these adhesion-site extracts. Affinity chromatography of these proteoglycans on columns of either immobilized platelet factor 4 or immobilized plasma fibronectin revealed that most of the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan and the heparan sulphate proteoglycan bound to platelet factor 4 but that only the heparan sulphate proteoglycan bound to fibronectin, providing a ready means of separating the two proteoglycan classes. Affinity chromatography on octyl-Sepharose columns to test for hydrophobic domains in their core proteins demonstrated that a high proportion of the heparan sulphate proteoglycan but none of the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan bound to the hydrophobic matrix. These results are discussed in light of the possible functional importance of the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan in the detachment of cells from extracellular matrix and in light of previous affinity fractionations of proteoglycans from the substratum-adhesion sites of simian-virus-40-transformed 3T3 cells.
