What Are the Potential Roles of Nuclear Perlecan and Other Heparan Sulphate Proteoglycans in the Normal and Malignant Phenotype. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22094415. [PMID: 33922532 PMCID: PMC8122901 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22094415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 04/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The recent discovery of nuclear and perinuclear perlecan in annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus cells and its known matrix stabilizing properties in tissues introduces the possibility that perlecan may also have intracellular stabilizing or regulatory roles through interactions with nuclear envelope or cytoskeletal proteins or roles in nucleosomal-chromatin organization that may regulate transcriptional factors and modulate gene expression. The nucleus is a mechano-sensor organelle, and sophisticated dynamic mechanoresponsive cytoskeletal and nuclear envelope components support and protect the nucleus, allowing it to perceive and respond to mechano-stimulation. This review speculates on the potential roles of perlecan in the nucleus based on what is already known about nuclear heparan sulphate proteoglycans. Perlecan is frequently found in the nuclei of tumour cells; however, its specific role in these diseased tissues is largely unknown. The aim of this review is to highlight probable roles for this intriguing interactive regulatory proteoglycan in the nucleus of normal and malignant cell types.

Abstract
Tissue samples from 30 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma and 20 with adenocarcinoma of salivary gland origin were studied by immunohistochemical staining with specific antibodies to the four macromolecules that are present in normal basement membranes: type IV collagen, laminin, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, and entactin. In the adenoid cystic carcinoma samples, the four proteins were localized in different types of extracellular matrices in the tumor, namely pseudocystic spaces, hyaline stroma, and around tumor cell nests. The staining intensity was enhanced by pretreatment with hyaluronidase. The tumor cells of adenoid cystic carcinoma showed a tendency to proliferate with individual cells in contact with the basement membrane and to infiltrate through basement membrane-rich tissues, such as peripheral nerves, blood vessels, and skeletal muscles. In contrast, only circumferential staining of tumor cell nests was obtained in adenocarcinoma samples. The results suggest that adenoid cystic carcinoma is a tumor with affinity for basement membranes, and this basic feature is reflected in its histology and presumably in its biologic behavior. Immunostaining with antibodies to basement membrane proteins appears to be useful for differential diagnosis of some types of these two carcinomas.

Abstract
Human articular chondrocytes may be cultured in three dimensions, according to a method already validated. This model allows us to study the repair processes of the cartilage, by measuring the proliferative activity of chondrocytes and the synthesis of two major constituents of matrix: proteoglycans and type II collagen. Some substances are characterised by stimulatory effect on DNA synthesis and no effect or a defective effect on matrix components: this is the case for Epidermal Growth Factor. Others are able to stimulate (hGH) or to depress (acetyl salicylic acid) both chondrocyte proliferation and matrix components synthesis. Finally, some substances called "chondroprotective", such as the glycosaminoglycan-peptide complex, GP-C (Rumalon) stimulate either the proliferative response or the synthesis of proteoglycans and type II collagen, according to the dose.

Abstract
Human chondrocytes from the pelvic joint were cultivated in suspension; under these conditions, after a few days, cells aggregated. These chondrocytes were morphologically differentiated (round shape, situated inside cavities and surrounded by a matrix synthesized during cultivation) and biosynthetically differentiated (synthesis of type II collagen and cartilage proteoglycans (PG) (Bassleer et al. In vitro 22, 115-120, 1986). In this work, we present the metabolic and cellular effects of a peptidic-glycosaminoglycan (P-GAG) complex isolated from calf cartilage and bone marrow. We analyzed the effects of P-GAG on DNA synthesis (appreciated by 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA), on type II collagen and on PG synthesis analyzed by specific radioimmunoassays. According to its final concentration in culture medium, P-GAG was able to stimulate proliferation or to favor the production of specific components of cartilage matrix, type II collagen and PG.

Abstract
Tumor spheroids were cultured from five human glioma cell lines which differed considerably in their relative amount and composition of glycosaminoglycans (GAG), fibronectin and other extracellular matrix (ECM) components when grown as monolayer cultures. These differences were also evident when the cells were grown as spheroids. Under the 3-dimensional geometry of the spheroid system, there was, however, generally a more extensive ECM. Especially noteworthy was the presence of a small proteoglycan, probably a dermatan sulphate proteoglycan, in the ECM of the spheroids, but not in the monolayers. Noteworthy was also the appearance of fibronectin in spheroids which did not show any staining for fibronectin when grown as monolayer. The two spheroid types (U-87MG, U-105MG) with the most extensive matrix, and with the lowest proportion of hyaluronic acid (HA), had a low proliferation rate, whereas the three other spheroid types (U-118MG, U-138MG, U-251MG) with a less extensive ECM, and a relatively high production of HA had a much higher proliferation rate. These data provide further evidence for the usefulness of culturing cell lines as spheroids in the process of understanding important cell biological phenomena.

Abstract
Inhibition of polyamine synthesis in early chick embryos blocks their development at gastrulation. Analyses of arrested embryos show that mesodermal outgrowth and differentiation are drastically impaired. To study these effects in greater detail, we have used primary cultures of embryonic mesoderm from chick. The cultures were treated with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, the first and rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine synthesis. In control culture medium, mesodermal cells retained their in ovo outgrowth behavior and differentiation pattern. Addition of 10 mM DFMO to the culture medium, however, retarded attachment and outgrowth, and reduced the rate of proliferation of the mesodermal cells. Furthermore, the expression of differentiated phenotypes, such as beating heart tissue, erythroid cells, and adipocyte-like cells, was delayed. Simultaneous addition of 100 microM putrescine prevented or reduced the effects of DFMO, showing that these were indeed caused by polyamine deficiency. In the DFMO-treated mesoderm, DNA synthesis was markedly suppressed by the first day. Similar effects on RNA and protein synthesis developed at a later time. Our data suggest that a reduction in the concentrations of the polyamines decreases the rate of mesodermal cell proliferation, and as a consequence delays the expression of differentiated phenotypes.

Abstract
Chick limb buds at stages 22-23 largely consist of replicating presumptive chondroblasts and presumptive myoblasts. To study the influence that different medium compositions may have on the survival, replication, and terminal differentiation of these dissociated cells in vitro, micromass cultures were reared in either standard Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing fetal calf serum (SC-DMEM) or in serum-free DMEM. By day 4, approximately 80% and 50% of the original cell inoculum had been lost in DMEM and SC-DMEM cultures, respectively, as estimated from the recovery of incorporated 3H-thymidine. Between days 1 and 4, the total-DNA content remained virtually constant in DMEM cultures, while it increased five- to sixfold in SC-DMEM cultures. In both media, definitive myoblasts and chondroblasts first emerged on day 1 and day 2, respectively, as determined by immunofluorescence staining using antibodies against muscle light meromyosin (LMM) or the major cartilage proteoglycan. In both media, the chondroblasts increased in number and, by day 4, had formed sizable chondroblast nodules. The number of chondroblasts in SC-DMEM cultures exceeded that observed in DMEM cultures. In DMEM, the LMM-positive myoblasts had an atypical morphology and failed to fuse into elongated myotubes; these cells began to degenerate on about day 4, being undetectable by day 8. In SC-DMEM, the numerous LMM-positive myoblasts located in the center of the micromasses also had an atypical morphology, failed to form multinucleated myotubes, and were absent by day 8.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Cartilage was taken from the macroscopically normal part of human femoral heads immediately after orthopedic surgical operations for total prothesis consecutive to hip arthrosis. After clostridial collagenase digestion and repeated washings, chondrocytes (10(6) cells) were cultivated in a gyrotory shaker (100 rpm). Under these conditions, cells were kept in suspension and after 3 to 5 d formed a flaky aggregate which, on Day 10, became dense. These chondrocytes were morphologically differentiated: they had a round shape, were situated inside cavities, and were surrounded by a new matrix. Histochemical methods showed the presence of collagen and polysaccharides in cell cytoplasm and in intercellular matrix, and the immunofluorescence method using specific antisera (anticartilage proteoglycans and anti-type II collagen) showed that these two constituents were in intercellular matrix. The measurement of the amounts of proteoglycans (PG) released into culture medium and those present in chondrocyte aggregate (by a specific PG radioimmunoassay) showed a maximum production on Days 3 to 5 of culture, then the production decreased and stabilized (from Day 10 to the end of culture). The observed difference between the amounts of PG in aggregates after 20 d and those after 2 h of culture demonstrated that PG neosynthesis did occur during cultivation. This conclusion was supported by other results obtained by [14C]glucosamine incorporation in chondrocyte aggregates. Moreover, the aggregate fresh weight related to cell number (appreciated by DNA assay) increased significantly with culture duration. Three-dimensional chondrocyte culture represents an interesting model: chondrocytes were differentiated morphologically as well as biosynthetically and synthesized a new cartilage matrix.

Abstract
The intracellular pathway of cartilage proteoglycan biosynthesis was investigated in isolated chondrocytes using a protein A-gold electron microscopy immunolocalization procedure. Proteoglycans contain a protein core to which chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate chains and oligosaccharides are added in posttranslational processing. Specific antibodies have been used in this study to determine separately the distribution of the protein core and chondroitin sulfate components. In normal chondrocytes, proteoglycan protein core was readily localized only in smooth-membraned vesicles which co-labeled with ricin, indicating them to be galactose-rich medial/trans-Golgi cisternae, whereas there was only a low level of labeling in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Chondroitin sulfate was also localized in medial/trans-Golgi cisternae of control chondrocytes but was not detected in other cellular compartments. In cells treated with monensin (up to 1.0 microM), which strongly inhibits proteoglycan secretion (Burditt, L.J., A. Ratcliffe, P. R. Fryer, and T. Hardingham, 1985, Biochim. Biophys. Acta., 844:247-255), there was greatly increased intracellular localization of proteoglycan protein core in both ricin-positive vesicles, and in ricin-negative vesicles (derived from cis-Golgi stacks) and in the distended rough endoplasmic reticulum. Chondroitin sulfate also increased in abundance after monensin treatment, but continued to be localized only in ricin-positive vesicles. The results suggested that the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate on proteoglycan only occurs in medial/trans-Golgi cisternae as a late event in proteoglycan biosynthesis. This also suggests that glycosaminoglycan synthesis on proteoglycans takes place in a compartment in common with events in the biosynthesis of both O-linked and N-linked oligosaccharides on other secretory glycoproteins.

Abstract
A single-stranded DNA probe complementary to chicken type II procollagen mRNA has been used to quantitate levels of that mRNA present in chicken limb mesenchyme during cartilage differentiation. Excess labeled probe prepared from a cDNA template cloned in M13mp9 was hybridized to completion to increasing amounts of total RNA and assayed by protection from S1 nuclease digestion. Estimates of the absolute levels of type II procollagen RNA were determined using the M13mp9 template containing the coding strand as a standard. RNA complementary to the probe increased from 20 copies per diploid genome in stage 24 limb to approximately 2000 copies per diploid genome in stage 24 limb mesenchyme which had differentiated to cartilage in culture. Similar levels were found in cartilage from stage 31 limb. Sternal cartilage from 17-day embryos contained approximately 10,000 copies per diploid genome suggesting that the level of expression of this gene is different in limb growth cartilage compared with sternal cartilage. Low but detectable levels of RNA complementary to the probe were observed in limb at stages 20-24. Since a large fraction of the type II procollagen RNA in these early limbs is associated with polysomes, the type II procollagen gene appears to be expressed at a low level prior to phenotypic differentiation and prior to the accumulation of immunologically detectable levels of type II collagen.

Abstract
Chondroitin-sulfate containing proteoglycan (CSPG) of the extracellular matrix (ECM) was visualized in chick tissues and cell cultures with a monoclonal antibody, CS-56. Cultured cells of various origins contained dense punctate layers of CSPG on both the substrate and the cell surface, as determined by immunofluorescent and immunogold staining. Under culture conditions the CSPG-containing matrix was usually excluded from stable cell-to-substrate focal contacts. The substrate-attached CSPG exhibited remarkable chemical stability but could be successfully removed by pronase or chondroitinases ABC and AC. Incubation of living cells with CS-56 antibodies resulted in the clustering of surface CSPG into patches, indicating that the surface-bound CSPG is free to move laterally along the plasma membrane. The unique properties of the CSPG-containing ECM revealed by CS-56 antibodies and their relationships to specific types of cell contacts are discussed.

Abstract
Several monoclonal antibodies which recognize different antigenic determinants of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan were used to study chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan biosynthesis in chicken chondrocyte cultures. The intracellular sites of synthesis and processing and extracellular deposition in matrix were localized by double immunofluorescence reactions. One rat monoclonal antibody, S103L , which recognizes an antigenic determinant of the core protein of the chicken cartilage chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan monomer, was used to identify both extracellular chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and intracellular compartments containing chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan precursors. Intracellular staining with S103L was localized to perinuclear regions, and, in some chondrocytes, to a few other cytoplasmic vesicles as well. When chondrocytes were not fed for several days, intracellular chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan precursors were accumulated in larger compartments distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Polyclonal chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan antibodies displayed similar staining characteristics. In contrast, several of the monoclonal antibodies, including the rat monoclonals S11D and P100D , and the mouse monoclonals 1-B-5, 3-B-3 and 9-A-2, did not recognize native chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, but reacted only with chondroitinase ABC-digested (and/or hyaluronidase-digested) chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. These antibodies were particularly useful in the demonstration of the extracellular codistribution of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan with either type II collagen or fibronectin. In other experiments, the monoclonal antibodies to chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan served to demonstrate that the perinuclear subset of intracellular compartments is uniquely involved in the addition of chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides to the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein. Lastly, using the mouse monoclonal 5-D-4, which recognizes keratan sulfate determinants, the perinuclear region was identified as the site for keratan sulfate addition. Results suggest heterogeneity of keratan sulfate synthesis at the level of individual chondrocytes, even for cells apparently containing equivalent amounts of intracellular chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan.

Abstract
Chondrocytes were isolated from the auricular cartilage of rabbits, aged 1 week to 30 months, and grown in short-term cell culture. The cells from the 1-week animals were small, polygonal, and mononucleated, while the chondrocytes from the older animals were larger, rounded, and frequently binucleated. The synthesis of proteoglycans, collagen, and elastin was determined by isotope incubation. Chemical characterization of the proteoglycans was also performed. The production of the matrix macromolecules showed a clear age dependence with peak synthesis occurring at different ages. Proteoglycans were actively synthesized by chondrocytes from all age groups with a broad maximum between 2 weeks and 5 months followed by a sharp decline to about 50% of the 1-week level at 12-30 months. Collagen synthesis peaked at 2 weeks, declining progressively thereafter to about 60% of the 1-week level at 30 months. Elastin synthesis was highest in the 1-week cultures and thereafter fell quickly to very low levels. In all age groups the chondrocytes synthesized predominantly cartilage-typic proteoglycans, i.e., large aggregate forming molecules containing chondroitin sulfate. Monomers and aggregates showed a size maximum at 2-8 weeks. The degree of sulfation of the chondroitin sulfate and the proportion of 6-sulfate increased with age. These findings support the concept of "age programs" for the biosynthesis and turnover of different matrix macromolecules.

Abstract
Monospecific antibodies to bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan monomer and link protein were used to demonstrate that immunologically related molecules are present in the bovine eye and associated tissues. With immunofluorescence microscopy, reactions for both proteoglycan and link protein were observed in the sclera, the anterior uveal tract, and the endoneurium of the optic nerve of the central nervous system. Antibody to bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan also reacted with some connective tissue sheaths of rectus muscle and the perineurium of the optic nerve of the central nervous system. Antibody to proteoglycan purified from rat brain cross-reacted with bovine nasal cartilage proteoglycan, indicating structural similarities between these proteoglycans. ELISA studies and crossed immunoelectrophoresis demonstrated that purified dermatan sulphate proteoglycans isolated from bovine sclera did not react with these antibodies but that the antibody to cartilage proteoglycan reacted with other molecules extracted from sclera. Two molecular species resembling bovine nasal link protein in size and reactivity with antibody were also demonstrated in scleral extracts: the larger molecule was more common. Antibody to link protein reacted with the media of arterial vessels demonstrating the localization of arterial link protein described earlier. Tissues that were unstained for either molecule included the connective tissue stroma of the iris, retina, vitreous body, cornea, and the remainder of the uveal tract. These observations clearly demonstrate that tissues other than cartilage contain molecules that are immunologically related to cartilage-derived proteoglycans and link proteins.

Abstract
In previous studies were have reported on the secretion and extracellular deposition of type II collagen and fibronectin (Dessau et al., 1978, J. Cell Biol., 79:342-355) and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) (Vertel and Dorfman, 1979, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 76:1261-1264) in chondrocyte cultures. This study describes a combined effort to compare sequence and pattern of secretion and deposition of all three macromolecules in the same chondrocyte culture experiment. By immunofluorescence labeling experiments, we demonstrate that type II collagen, fibronectin, and CSPG reappear on the cell surface after enzymatic release of chondrocytes from embryonic chick cartilage but develop different patterns in the pericellular matrix. When chondrocytes spread on the culture dish, CSPG is deposited in the extracellular space as an amorphous mass and fibronectin forms fine, intercellular strands, whereas type II collagen disappears from the chondrocyte surface and remains absent from the extracellular space in early cultures. Only after cells in the center of chondrocyte colonies shape reassume spherical shape does the immunofluorescence reveal type II collagen in the refractile matrix characteristic of differentiated cartilage. By immunofluorescence double staining of the newly formed cartilage matrix, we demonstrate that CSPG spreads farther out into the extracellular space that type II collagen. Fibronectin finally disappears from the cartilage matrix.

Abstract
Glomerular development was studied in the newborn rat kidney by electron microscopy and cytochemistry. Glomerular structure at different developmental stages was related to the permeability properties of its components and to the differentiation of anionic sites in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and on endothelial and epithelia cell surfaces. Cationic probes (cationized ferritin, ruthenium red, colloidal iron) were used to determine the time of appearance and distribution of anionic sites, and digestion with specific enzymes (neuraminidase, heparinase, chondroitinases, hyaluronidases) was used to determine their nature. Native (anionic) ferritin was used to investigate glomerular permeability. The main findings were: (a) The first endothelial fenestrae (which appear before the GBM is fully assembled) possess transient, negatively charged diaphragms that bind cationized ferritin and are impermeable to native ferritin. (b). Two types of glycosaminoglycan particles can be identified by staining with ruthenium red. Large (30-nm) granules are seen only in the cleft of the S-shaped body at the time of mesenchymal migration into the renal vesicle. They consist of hyaluronic acid and possibly also chondroitin sulfate. Smaller (10-15-nm) particles are seen in the earliest endothelial and epithelial basement membranes (S-shaped body stage), become concentrated in the laminae rarae after fusion of these two membranes to form the GBM, and contain heparan sulfate. They are assumed to be precursors of the heparan sulfate-rich granules present in the mature GBM. (c) Distinctive sialic acid-rich, and sialic acid-poor plasmalemmal domains have been delineated on both the epithelial and endothelial cell surfaces. (d) The appearance of sialoglycoproteins on the epithelial cell surface concides with the development of foot processes and filtration slits. (e) Initially the GBM is loosely organized and quite permeable to native ferritin ;it becomes increasinly impermeable to ferritin as the lamina densa becomes more compact. (f) The number of endothelial fenestrae and open epithelial slits increases as the GBM matures and becomes organized into an effective barrier to the passage of native ferritin.

Abstract
Mesenchymal cells isolated from stage 24 embryonic chicken limb buds were infected with the temperature-sensitive transformation mutants of Rous sarcoma virus tsNY68, tsNY10 and tsLA25 at the nonpermissive temperature for transformation (41 degrees C). Virus infection greatly inhibited subsequent limb bud chondrogenesis under nontransforming conditions, as indicated by a reduction in the rate of 35SO4 incorporation into cell-associated proteoglycans. The inhibition of chondrogenesis was directly related to the percentage of cells infected with tsNY68 at 41 degrees C. The observed inhibition of chondrogenesis was independent of src gene expression since this effect was also caused by many viruses which lack the src gene, including the leukosis viruses RAV-1, RAV-2 and MAV-2(0); the src deletion mutant RSVtd107; and the reticuloendotheliosis viruses REV-T and SNV. Infection of mesenchymal cells with tsNY68 under nontransforming conditions did not cause changes in parameters such as the rate of thymidine incorporation, total cell DNA and total cell protein. Infection with tsNY68 at 41 degrees C resulted in altered kinetics of 35SO4 incorporation into cell-associated proteoglycans and a corresponding reduction in 35SO4-labeled proteoglycans extracted from the cell layer. There were no apparent quantitative effects on the rate of accumulation of proteoglycans in the culture medium. The proteoglycans extracted from the cells and the collected medium of tsNY68-infected cultures were smaller than those of uninfected cultures, as shown by agarose gel chromatography.
