The expression of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in eutopic and heterotopic endometrium in patients with ovarian endometriosis was studied using the method of immunohistochemistry. The simultaneous increase in the level of expression of core proteins of all studied heparan sulfate proteoglycans and the content of heparan sulfate in pathological tissues indicates the important role of glycosylated molecules in the pathogenesis of ovarian endometriosis.

AbstractThe current pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and new outbreaks worldwide highlight the need for preventive treatments. Although angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the primary receptor for SARS-CoV-2, we identified heparan sulfate proteoglycans expressed by epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages and dendritic cells as co-receptors for SARS-CoV-2. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) blocked SARS-CoV-2 infection of epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages, and virus dissemination by dendritic cells. Notably, potent neutralizing antibodies from COVID-19 patients interfered with SARS-CoV-2 binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans, underscoring the importance of heparan sulfate proteoglycans as receptors and uncover that SARS-CoV-2 binding to heparan sulfates is an important mechanism for neutralization. These results have imperative implications for our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry and reveal an important target for novel prophylactic intervention.

SummaryHeparin and related polysaccharides have long been used for therapautic intervention in different disease states related to thromboembolic complications. The localization and functional availability of heparin-like components in the body is mostly confined to cell surfaces and extracellular matrix/basement membranes. Their strategic position particularly in the vascular system enables heparinoids linked to various core proteins (designated as heparan sulfate proteoglycans) to interact with a variety of heparin-binding proteins such as apolipoproteins, lipases, proteases and protease inhibitors, matrix proteins as well as surface receptors on other cells and microorganisms. The variety in gene expression of respective core proteins and differences in glycosaminoglycan side chains are relevant factors for the selectivity of these interactions. Heparinoid-associated core proteins serve as co-receptors for a number of metabolic properties of vascular cells as well as for the regulation of cellular processes, particular as they relate to cell growth and differentiation in angiogenesis. Moreover, heparan sulfate proteoglycans contribute to the process of lipoprotein retention in the vessel wall and the onset of atherosclerosis. Elucidation of molecular properties, functions and their role in vascular diseases can lead to valuable information for the design of heparinoid analogues to be used for pharmacological intervention.
