The suitability of an isolated lung, perfused under carefully monitored conditions, for the study of the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans was examined for the rat lung using either [35S]-sulfate or [6-3H]glucosamine. Metabolic and electron-microscopic studies after 3 h of perfusion showed that under the conditions of this study the isolated lung showed no anatomical or metabolic derangements. All glycosaminoglycans normally synthesized in the intact lung were identified. The predominant glycosaminoglycan was heparan sulfate (40% of total). Approximately 14% of the glucosamine incorporated into the glycosaminoglycans was found in hyaluronic acid. Less than 5% of either label was in heparin. The remainder of the synthesized glycosaminoglycans, with the exception of 10% which could not be identified, consisted of the chondroitin sulfates and dermatan sulfate. The relative proportions of the newly synthesized glycosaminoglycans, including the low amounts of heparin, are similar to those found in isolation of endogenous lung glycosaminoglycans. The isolated perfused rat lung appears to be a useful model for the study of glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis by the intact lung.

The mean values and standard deviations for the concentrations of the hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphuric acid fractions isolated from 11 specimens of human skin were 24.5 ± 5.7 and 26.2 ± 4.7 mgm. per 100 gm. of fresh tissue, respectively.The individual differences in the concentrations of these substances were masked by the technical errors. The small variations in moisture and ash content of the skin did not contribute appreciably to the uncertainty of the concentration values. The purity of the products, determined by their amino sugar content, approximated 60%, which value compared favorably with those obtained by other workers.The content of hexosamine and uronic acid identified both fractions as acid mucopolysaccharides. The release of reducing substances, including N-acetyl hexosamine, from the hyaluronic acid fraction by hyaluronidase paralleled the action of the enzyme upon hyaluronate from umbilical cord. The chondroitin sulphuric acid fraction, which was relatively resistant to the action of hyaluronidase, was assumed to be identical with the chondroitin sulphatelike substance that Meyer and Chaffee isolated from pig skin.
