Abstract
We report a patient with stage 3 ganglioneuroblastoma who initially presented with clinical and laboratory features consistent with mucopolysaccharidosis including coarse facial features, developmental delay, and an elevated quantitative urine glycosaminoglycan (GAG) level. All mucopolysaccharidosis features resolved following successful treatment of neuroblastoma. High GAG levels have been documented in the pediatric oncology literature, yet not as a potential marker of malignancy or other target for clinical utility. This patient prompts further investigation into the relationship between neuroblastoma and elevated GAG levels.

Abstract
Fibronectin is a multifunctional glycoprotein which promotes the adhesion of a variety of cell types to extracellular matrices, including artificial tissue culture substrata. Biochemical analyses of substratum adhesion sites indicated important functions for cell-surface heparan sulphate proteoglycan (HS-PG) in directly mediating adhesive responses by the binding of heparan sulphate sequences to fibronectin. In addition, fibronectin has a binding domain for a cell surface 'receptor' (possibly a 140K glycoprotein) important in these responses. To differentiate the relative importance of these two binding activities, a proteolytically generated cell-binding fragment of fibronectin has been isolated which binds to the 140K 'receptor' but not to HS or to collagen. Platelet factor 4 (PF4), a tetravalent HS-binding protein, provides a model of the tetravalent HS-binding activity of fibronectin, as supported by affinity chromatography studies (these studies also reveal the complexity of HS-PG metabolism in adhesion sites). Responses are measured on substrata coated with the cell-binding fragment of fibronectin, intact fibronectin, or PF4, singly or in combination. Fibroblast-like BALB/c 3T3 cells form both close and tight-focal adhesive contacts with associated microfilament stress fibres on intact fibronectin. Whereas HS-PG binding appears to mediate the formation of close contacts and linear microfilament bundles, a cooperative relationship exists between the HS- and the cell-binding activities of the intact fibronectin molecule in the formation of focal contacts and stress fibres. Human dermal fibroblasts generate different adhesive responses on HS-binding or cell-binding substrata, which are dependent on whether cells have been grown in medium with ascorbate to maximize production of their own collagenous matrix. As with 3T3 cells, focal contact and stress fibre formations of dermal cells require both binding activities in the intact fibronectin molecule. A third system consists of neuroblastoma tumour cells which adhere and extend neurites on fibronectin. Cell-body adherence, but not neurite extension, occurs on HS-binding matrices whereas neurite extension requires only fibronectin's cell-binding activity; the responses of primary peripheral neurons were exactly the opposite and CNS neurons did not respond at all. These studies indicate the diversity of molecular mechanisms by which various cells interact with the multifunctional fibronectin molecule in order to perform specialized functions, as well as the independent or cooperative functions of heparan sulphate proteoglycan on the cell surface in mediating these responses.

Abstract
1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral parameters of eight sulfated uronic acid containing disaccharides 1-8 were used to determine the conformational preferences that depend on the pattern of sulfation. Three sulfated derivatives of benzyl beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcA (1), its 6'-sulfate 2, 4'-sulfate 3, and 4',6'-disulfate 4 were used as models for the beta-(1-->4) glycosidic linkage of chondroitin sulfates and three sulfated derivatives of benzyl beta-D-GlcA-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal (5), its 6-sulfate 6, 4-sulfate 7, and 4,6-disulfate 8 were used as models for the beta-(1-->3) glycosidic linkage of chondroitin sulfates. To determine the dependence of conformational preferences on the charged groups, the sulfated disaccharides 2, 3, and 4 were compared to their unsulfated parent compound 1, and 6, 7, and 8 were compared to their parent compound 5. The 3JH-5,H-6 coupling constants were determined by high-order analysis of the spin systems, and from these the preferred populations of the hydroxymethyl groups were calculated. Selective 1D NOEs and ROEs were measured from H-1' across the glycosidic linkage to obtain the average distance of the protons adjacent to the glycosidic linkage. Derivatives of beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcA carrying a sulfate group in the 6'-position (2) and in the 4'- and 6'-position (4) show a slight repulsive effect between the 6'-sulfate groups and the carboxylate group as expressed in small changes of the preferred populations of the glycosidic linkage and the sulfonyloxymethyl group. The 4-sulfate groups in 3 and 4 do not show a significant influence on the glycosidic linkage. However, the two sulfate groups in 4 exhibit a repulsive effect leading to a very high population of the gt conformation of the sulfonyloxymethyl group. In contrast hereto, the sulfate group at C-4 of beta-D-GlcA-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal disaccharides 7 and 8 and the carboxylate group exert an attractive interaction that leads to a change of the conformation of the glycosidic linkage in 7 and 8 by about 30 degrees. The 6-sulfate groups of the disaccharides 6 and 8 show a slight repulsive interaction with the carboxylate and/or 4-sulfate group. Changes in 13C NMR chemical shifts support the interpretation obtained from the NOE and ROE analysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Proteoglycans (PGs) may play a fundamental role in all forms of amyloidosis. In Alzheimer's disease, proteoglycans are found deposited in senile plaques and in neurofibrillary tangles. However, the cellular source of these deposited PGs and their role in amyloidosis in Alzheimer's disease is unknown. Proteoglycans were purified from conditioned medium of human neuroblastoma cells (SKNSH-SY 5Y). Two species of proteoglycans were identified by enzyme susceptibility including a heparan sulfate proteoglycan and a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan. A monoclonal antibody to the protein core of a vascular basement membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan found in senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease cross-reacted with the proteoglycans secreted by human neuroblastoma cells. Binding between 35SO4-labelled neuroblastoma proteoglycans and the Alzheimer amyloid (A4) peptide was demonstrated by affinity chromatography. Specificity studies demonstrated that binding of human neuroblastoma proteoglycans to the amyloid peptide was specific for a heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan, with some binding to a dermatan sulfate proteoglycan. Binding to A4 was also demonstrated by a chemically deglycosylated protein core preparation. No significant binding of neuroblastoma proteoglycans was found to two other basic peptides derived from the extracellular domain of the beta-amyloid precursor, demonstrating the specificity of proteoglycan binding to the A4 peptide. Human neuroblastoma proteoglycans may bind to the-Alzheimer amyloid A4 peptide in a region with a heparin binding consensus sequence [VHHQKL] which also contains the cleavage site of the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Neuronal proteoglycans may either regulate the secretion of the amyloid protein precursor or modify the binding of the amyloid protein precursor to other cellular adhesion molecules. Alterations in this binding may be related to the pathogenesis of amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
The solution salts of the 6'-sulfate 12, the 4'-sulfate 15 and the 4',6'-disulfate 17 of benzyl 4-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosiduronate 10 have been synthesized. Methyl [benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4-O-(2,3-di-O-benzoyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-+ ++glucopyranosid]uronate (9) has been prepared as a key intermediate from benzyl 4',6'-O-benzylidene-beta-D-lactopyranoside (2). Protection of 2 at C-6 with the tert-butyldimethylsilyl group, followed by O-perbenzoylation and disilylation, gave benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4-O-(2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-galac top yranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7). Oxidation of the 6-position of 7 proved to be difficult. However, 7 could be converted into the tert-butyl glucuronate 8 using chromium trioxide-pyridine and tert-butanol. Simultaneous hydrolysis of the benzylidene acetal and the tert-butyl ester groups, followed by esterification of the resulting free acid with diazomethane, yielded 9. Compound was directly sulfated with sulfur trioxide-trimethylamine within 12 h to give the 6'-sulfate 11. The 4',6-disulfate 16 was accessible by running the reaction under the same conditions for 14 days. The 4'-sulfate 14 was obtained after protecting the 6'-OH group of 9 with benzoyl cyanide to give the 6'-benzoate 13 followed by sulfation under more vigorous reaction conditions. Deesterification of 9, 11, 14, and 16 was achieved by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran to give 10, 12, 15, and 17, respectively.

Abstract
The sodium salts of the 6-sulfate 7, the 4-sulfate 10, and the 4,6-disulfate 12 of benzyl 3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl uronate)-beta-D-galactopyranoside (5) have been synthesized. Methyl (2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1-bromo-1-deoxy-alpha-d-glucopyran)uronate (1) was coupled with benzyl 2-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-galactopyranoside (2) to yield 3. The benzylidene acetal of 3 was hydrolyzed to give benzyl 2-O-benzoyl-3-O-[methyl (2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)uronate]-beta-D-galactopyra noside (4). Compound 4 was utilized as a key intermediate to prepare the sulfated disaccharides 7,10, and 12. Direct sulfation of 4 with sulfur trioxide-trimethylamine for 2 days yielded the 6-sulfate 6. The 4,6-disulfate 11 was accessible by running the reaction under the same conditions for 14 days. The 4-sulfate 9 was obtained after protecting the 6-OH group of 4 by reaction with benzoyl imidazole to give the 6-benzoate 8, followed by sulfation under vigorous conditions. Treatment of the protected compounds 4, 6, 9, and 11 with aqueous sodium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran gave the unprotected 5, 7, 10, and 12, respectively.

Abstract
Nonspecific adsorption of proteoglycans to chromatography media and surfaces is demonstrated. This adsorption is highly dependent on the nature of the chromatography media and the precise buffer conditions. For a given buffer the amount of adsorption decreases as the pH of the buffer is increased. It is also highly dependent on buffer concentration and increases as the buffer concentration is increased. The effect of salts such as LiCl, NaCl, KCl, and MgCl2 was generally small and complex so that the presence of the salt both increased and decreased the amount of adsorption depending on the buffer conditions. In contrast, the effect due to the presence of guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl) was relatively large and complex. At low Gdn-HCl concentrations there generally was a large increase in the amount of adsorption, reaching a maximum at approximately 0.5 M Gdn-HCl and decreasing with further increases in Gdn-HCl concentration. Detergents such as 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (Chaps) and sodium dodecylsulfate generally reduced the amount of nonspecific adsorption, although in the presence of both the detergent and Gdn-HCl, the effect due to Gdn-HCl predominated. In commonly used buffers such as 0.5 M sodium acetate (NaOAc), pH 7.0 (buffer F), and 4 M Gdn-HCl in 0.05 M NaOAc, pH 5.8 (buffer D), adsorption to surfaces and chromatography media such as Sepharose CL-2B, cellulose, and controlled pore glass (CPG) is highly significant and it is particularly large for cellulose and CPG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Mouse neuroblastoma Neuro 2a cells are known to extend neurite-like processes in response to gangliosides added to the culture medium. We compared the structural features of proteoglycans (PG) synthesized by conventional Neuro 2a cells with those of neurite-bearing cells. Two different proteoglycans labeled with [35S]sulfate, namely, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CS-PG) and heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG), were found both in the cell layer and in the culture medium of the conventional cells. CS-PG isolated from the cell layer had a Kav value of 0.38 on Sepharose CL-6B, and had CS side chains with Mr of 27,000. HS-PG in the cell layer was slightly larger (Kav of 0.33) in terms of hydrodynamic size than CS-PG, and the apparent Mr of the heparan sulfate side chains was 10,000. The structural parameters of CS-PG and HS-PG isolated from the medium were almost identical to those of the PGs in the cell layer. In addition to these PGs, single-chain HS, with an average Mr of 2,500, was observed only in the cell layer and this component was the major sulfated component in the cell layers of both control and ganglioside treated cells. The neurite-bearing cells also synthesized both CS-PG and HS-PG which were very similar in hydrodynamic size to those synthesized by the conventional cells, but the size of HS side chains was greater. Radioactivity, as 35S, of each sulfated component from the ganglioside-treated culture seemed to be slightly less than that of the corresponding component from the control culture. These findings indicate that the marked morphological change in Neuro 2a cells, induced by gangliosides is not accompanied by major changes in the synthesis of PGs.

Abstract
Initial studies described the significance of heparan sulfate proteoglycans of Balb/c 3T3 cells in their adhesion on fibronectin matrices, including their binding to multiple domains in FN, the importance of this binding in microfilament and close contact formation, and the cooperativity of both HS-PG and 140k glycoprotein integrin's binding to FN to achieve tight-focal contacts under cells. These analyses utilized model HS-binding proteins, such as platelet factor 4, and proteolytic fragments of FN with differing binding activities in both cell biological analyses of adhesion responses and in biochemical analyses of the HS-PG in the adhesion sites. In contrast, dermatan sulfate proteoglycans (DS-PG) inhibit 3T3 adhesion on FN but not on collagen; of special note is the discovery that certain integrin-binding fragments of FN also contain a third HS/DS-binding domain that is cryptic and that provides a more effective mechanism for inhibiting integrin: FN binding. Kirsten Ras oncogene-transformed 3T3 cells and their nude-mouse-derived primary or lung metastatic tumors are also being analyzed by similar approaches. HS-PGs in the adhesion sites of these tumor populations undergo extensive catabolism, resulting in alteration of their binding to FN affinity columns (and by implication alteration in adhesion responses of these tumor cells on FN matrices). Functions for HS-PG on the surface of neuronal cell derivatives, e.g., neuroblastoma cells derived from the neural crest of the embryo and potentially related in some ways to peripheral neurons, are also being explored. HS-binding fragments of FN or PF4 facilitate attachment and spreading of neuroblastoma cells but not neurite outgrowth, contrasting with the ability of dorsal root ganglion neurons to extend neurites on HS-binding substrata. The catabolism of HS-PG in neuroblastoma adhesion sites is minimal, indicating that this cannot be the explanation for incompetence in neurite extension. Neurite extension by neuroblastoma cells on FN results from three different and overlapping binding activities of non-PG receptors on the cell surface--RGDS-dependent binding to integrin, an RGDS-independent mechanism (perhaps a cell type-specific domain), and a ganglioside-dependent process. However, these neurite-extending reactions can be modulated either by exogenous addition of proteoglycans acting in a "trans" manner with the cell surface or by endogenous HG-PG acting in a "cis" manner with one or more of these receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Tissue culture substratum adhesion sites from EGTA-detached Platt human neuroblastoma cells were extracted with a buffer containing ocytlglucoside, NaCl, guanidine hydrochloride, and a variety of protease inhibitors, an extraction which resulted in quantitative solubilization of the 35SO4 = -radiolabeled proteoglycans and 3H-leucine-radiolabeled proteins. Of the sulfate-radiolabeled material, the vast majority was heparan sulfate proteoglycan (Kav = 0.15 on Sepharose C14B columns) and the remainder was chondroitin sulfate chains (no single chains of heparan sulfate were observed). This extract was then fractionated on DEAE-Sephadex columns under two different buffer elution conditions. Under DEAE-I conditions in low ionic strength acetate buffer, two major peaks of 35SO4 = -radiolabeled material (A,B) and a minor peak (C) could be resolved in the NaCl gradient; however, three-fourths of the material required 4 M guanidine hydrochloride to elute it from the column (peak D). Under DEAE-II conditions in acetate buffer supplemented with 8 M urea, the vast majority of the proteoglycan material could be eluted in the NaCl gradient as peak AB. Peak D material was shown to contain aggregated proteoglycan, along with nonproteoglycan protein, which high concentrations of urea or guanidine could dissociate, but not nonionic or zwitterionic detergents. Three different affinity chromatography systems were used to further characterize these components. Approximately 60% of peak A heparan sulfate proteoglycan from DEAE-I binds to the hydrophobic matrix, octyl-Sepharose, while 80% of the proteoglycan in DEAE-I peak D binds to this hydrophobic column. A sizable fraction of peak A proteoglycan fails to bind to plasma fibronectin but does bind to platelet factor-4 affinity columns. In contrast, peak AB proteoglycan from DEAE-II columns yields a much higher proportion of molecules which do bind to fibronectin. To examine the basis for these differences in affinity binding, nonproteoglycan protein from these adhesion sites was mixed with peak AB proteoglycan prior to affinity chromatography; proteoglycan binding to fibronectin decreased markedly while binding to platelet factor-4 was unaffected. This modulating activity involves the binding of nonproteoglycan protein in adhesion site extracts to both fibronectin on the column, as well as to heparan sulfate proteoglycan itself, and it could not be mimicked by a number of known proteins in adhesion site extracts or several other proteins. These results demonstrate selectivity and specificity in this modulation and indicate that a previously unidentified protein(s) is responsible.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Attachment and neurite extension have been measured when Platt or La-N1 human neuroblastoma cells respond to tissue culture substrata coated with a panel of complementary fragments from the individual chains of human plasma (pFN) or cellular fibronectins (cFN) purified from thermolysin digests. A 110-kD fragment (f110), which contains the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser sequence (RGDS)-dependent cell-binding domain but no heparin-binding domains and whose sequences are shared in common by both the alpha- and beta-subunits of pFN, facilitated attachment of cells that approached the level observed with either intact pFN or the heparan sulfate-binding platelet factor-4 (PF4). This attachment on f110 was resistant to RGDS-containing peptide in the medium. Neurite outgrowth was also maximal on f110, and half of these neurites were also resistant to soluble RGDS peptide. Treatment of cells with glycosaminoglycan lyases failed to alter these responses on f110. Therefore, there is a second "cell-binding" domain in the sequences represented by f110 that is not RGDS- or heparan sulfate-dependent and that facilitates stable attachment and some neurite outgrowth; this domain appears to be conformation-dependent. Comparisons were also made between two larger fragments generated from the two subunits of pFN-f145 from the alpha-subunit and f155 from the beta-subunit--both of which contain the RGDS-dependent cell-binding domain and the COOH-terminal heparin-binding domain but which differ in the former's containing some IIICS sequence at its COOH terminus and the latter's having an additional type III homology unit. Heparin-binding fragments (with no RGDS activity) of f29 and f38, derived from f145 or f155 of pFN, respectively, and having the same differences in sequence, were also compared with f44 + 47 having the "extra domain" characteristic of cFN. Attachment on f145 was slightly sensitive to soluble RGDS peptide; attachment on f155 was much more sensitive. There were also differences in the percentage of cells with neurites on f145 vs. f155 but neurites on either fragment were completely sensitive to RGDS peptide. Mixing of f29, f38, or PF4 with f110 could not reconstitute the activities demonstrated in f145 or f155, demonstrating that covalently linked sequences are critical in modulating these responses. However, mixing of f44 + 47 from cFN with f110 from pFN increased the sensitivity to RGDS peptide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Some phases of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) substratum attachment and growth cone morphology are mediated through endogenous cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The adhesive behavior of intact embryonic chicken DRG (spinal sensory ganglia) is examined on substrata coated with fibronectin, fibronectin treated with antibody to the cell-binding site (anti-CBS), and the heparan sulfate-binding protein platelet factor four. DRG attach to fibronectin, anti-CBS-treated fibronectin, and platelet factor four. The ganglia extend an extensive halo of unfasciculated neurites on fibronectin and produce fasciculated neurite outgrowth on platelet factor four and anti-CBS antibody-treated FN. Treatment with heparinase, but not chondroitinase, abolishes adhesion to fibronectin and platelet factor four. Growth cones of DRG on fibronectin have well-spread lamellae and microspikes. On platelet factor four, and anti-CBS-treated FN, growth cones exhibit microspikes only. Isolated Schwann cells adhere equally well to fibronectin and platelet factor four, spreading more rapidly on fibronectin. Isolated DRG neurons adhere equally well on both substrata, but only 10% of the neurons extend long neurites on platelet factor four. The majority of the isolated neurons on platelet factor four exhibit persistent microspike production resembling that of the early stages of normal neurite extension. Endogenous heparan sulfate proteoglycan supports the adhesion of whole DRG, isolated DRG neurons, and Schwann cells, as well as extensive microspike activity by DRG neurons, one important part of growth cone activity.

Abstract
Characteristics of the chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate proteoglycans (CS/DSPGs) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) from retinas of 14-day chicken embryos were examined following specific lyase digestion of the HSPG and CS/DSPG glycosaminoglycans, respectively. On the basis of gel exclusion chromatography the prevalent CS/DSPGs in the tissue were above Mr 400 X 10(3) with two or three glycosaminoglycan chains of Mr 60-70 X 10(3). The HSPGs existed in two distinct populations in the tissue. Those in the dominant population appeared to be in the range of Mr 250-300 X 10(3) with 9 to 12 glycosaminoglycan chains of Mr 15-25 X 10(3). The other population consisted of free heparan sulfate chains of Mr 15-25 X 10(3). The HSPGs in the medium tended to be intermediate in size. To examine the distribution of proteoglycans, tissues were sequentially homogenized and extracted in saline and reextracted with 4 M guanidine HCl (GdnHCl) and Triton X-100 (TX), or they were washed in heparin solution and dissociated to single cells with trypsin before sequential extraction in saline and GdnHCl with TX. Through comparison of the results of these two extraction methods, CS/DSPGs were found to be almost entirely within the medium or matrix or loosely associated with the cell surface, and most HSPGs were associated with either the basal lamina or the plasma membrane. The single heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains appeared to be intracellular degradation products. These results support reports that CS/DSPGs may be present in the retina interphotoreceptor matrix and that HSPGs may be present in regions of synaptogenesis, associated with cell membranes.

Abstract
Subfractions of 35S-labelled rat skin heparin proteoglycans with various degrees of high affinity for antithrombin were obtained by gradient elution from a column of antithrombin-agarose. Heparin chains released from the proteoglycan preparations by beta-elimination with alkali were re-fractionated on the same column. Proportions of chains with high affinity for antithrombin (HA-chains) ranged from 17% to 76%. These separations also revealed three overlapping subfractions of HA-chains. Their proportions varied in a manner consistent with a stepwise increase in the degree of affinity of HA-chains for antithrombin, this presumably being due to the biosynthesis of increasing numbers of antithrombin-binding sites per chain. The anticoagulant activity, with respect to thrombin neutralization, ranged from 32 units/mg to 287 units/mg. It is suggested that HA-chains may have from one to five or six antithrombin-binding sites. Thus the asymmetric distribution of these sites in rat skin heparin proteoglycans is much more marked than was realized from the earlier work of Horner & Young [(1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 8749-8754].

Abstract
Human neuroblastoma cells (Platt and La-N1) have previously been shown to adhere and extend neurites on tissue-culture substrata coated with a 120K chymotryptic cell-binding fragment (CBF) of plasma fibronectin (pFN), a fragment which lacks heparan sulfate- and collagen-binding activities, and to adhere to--but not extend neurites on--substrata coated with the heparan sulfate (HS)-binding protein, platelet factor-4 (PF4) (Tobey et al., Exp Cell Res 158 (1985) 395 [3]). The mechanisms of these processes on CBF, on the intact pFN molecule, or on heparin-binding fragments of pFN have been tested using a heptapeptide (peptide A) containing the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) sequence which recognizes a specific 'receptor' on the surface of a variety of cells or a control peptide with a single amino acid substitution. Adherence and neurite extension were completely inhibited on the 120K CBF by peptide A but not by control peptide; these results indicate that the RGDS-dependent 'receptor' is solely responsible for adhesive responses to the 120K CBF-containing region of the pFN molecule. When peptide A was added to cells on CBF which had already formed neurites to test reversibility, retraction of all neurite processes was induced by 1 h and cells eventually detached. In contrast, on intact pFN, peptide A had very limited effects on either initial adherence or neurite extension, revealing a second 'cell-binding' domain on the fibronectin molecule outside of the 120K region competent for neurite differentiation; addition of peptide A at later times to pFN-adherent, neurite-containing cells could induce only a small subset of neurites to retract, thus supporting evidence for the presence of this second domain. A second 'cell-binding' domain was further confirmed by quantitation of neurite outgrowth on these substrata and by analyses of cells on substrata coated with mixtures of CBF/PF4. When substrata coated with chymotrypsin-liberated HBF were tested in a similar fashion, adherence was rapid but neurite outgrowth required much longer times and was completely sensitive to RGDS peptides; supplementation of cells with the complex ganglioside GT1b could not induce RGDS-resistant neurites on heparin-binding fragments (HBF). These latter results indicate that neurite extension on HBF is a consequence of a low concentration of RGDS-dependent activity in HBF (but not to HS-binding activity as characterized by Tobey et al. [3]) and that the second 'cell-binding' domain is sensitive to chymotrypsin digestion of pFN during the liberation of HBF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Axons of dorsal root ganglion neurons express on their surfaces one or more proteins which are mitogenic for Schwann cells (Salzer, J., R. P. Bunge, and L. Glaser, 1980, J. Cell Biol., 84:767-778). Incubation of co-cultures of dorsal root ganglion neurons and Schwann cells with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-xyloside, an inhibitor of proteoglycan biosynthesis, decreases the mitogenic response of the Schwann cell by over 95%. The effect of the beta-D-xyloside has been localized to the neurons; pretreatment of neurons but not of Schwann cells with the inhibitor causes a marked reduction of the mitogenic response. In addition, Schwann cells treated with beta-D-xyloside are still mitogenically responsive to soluble Schwann cell mitogens (cholera toxin and glial growth factor). Neurons treated with heparitinase and membrane vesicles prepared from heparitinase-treated neurons show diminished mitogenicity for Schwann cells, while other proteoglycan lyases have no effect. We conclude that a cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan is a component of the Schwann cell mitogen present on the surface of dorsal root ganglion neurons.
