Abstract
Objective Previous studies have shown that decorin and biglycan account for over 70% of the proteoglycans (PGs) synthesized by human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Since these PGs are involved in the control of cell growth, cell differentiation, and matrix assembly, we investigated their turnover in cultured HPMCs. Methods Confluent HPMCs were metabolically labeled with [35S]-sulfate and the labeled products isolated from the cell medium and the cell layer characterized by sensitivity to bacterial eliminases. Experiments were undertaken with exogenous labeled decorin, and its metabolic state was studied. Results In a 24-hour labeling period, 75% of the newly synthesized chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) PGs appeared in the culture medium, the majority of which (90%) was decorin. In the cell layer, protein-free glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains accounted for 21% of the total CS/DS at 24 hours and exhibited constant specific activity at 12 – 16 hours. The latter material was turned over with a half-life of approximately 2.5 hours. Exogenous decorin underwent receptor-mediated endocytosis and subsequent intracellular degradation. Uptake but not degradation could be inhibited by heparin. Conclusions HPMCs are distinguished by a rapid turnover of decorin. A characteristic metabolic feature is the existence of a large intracellular pool of protein-free DS-GAGs. Understanding the control of decorin turnover in HPMCs might lead to delineation of its potential role in both the physiology and pathophysiology of the membrane in PD patients.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix can trigger cellular responses through its composition and structure. Major extracellular matrix components are the proteoglycans, which are composed of a core protein associated with glycosaminoglycans, among which the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are the largest family. This review highlights how the codon usage pattern can be used to modulate cellular response and discusses the biological impact of post-translational events on SLRPs, including the substitution of glycosaminoglycan moieties, glycosylation, and degradation. These modifications are listed, and their impacts on the biological activities and structural properties of SLRPs are described. We narrowed the topic to skeletal tissues undergoing dynamic remodeling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of glucosamine on the loss of newly synthesized radiolabeled large and small proteoglycans by bovine tendon, ligament and joint capsule. DESIGN The kinetics of loss of (35)S-labeled large and small proteoglycans from explant cultures of tendon, ligament and joint capsule treated with 10mM glucosamine was investigated over a 10-day culture period. The kinetics of loss of (35)S-labeled small proteoglycans and the formation of free [(35)S]sulfate were determined for the last 10 days of a 15-day culture period. The proteoglycan core proteins were analyzed by gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography. The metabolism of tendon, ligament and joint capsule explants exposed to 10mM glucosamine was evaluated by incorporation of [(3)H]serine and [(35)S]sulfate into protein and glycosaminoglycans, respectively. RESULTS Glucosamine at 10mM stimulated the loss of small proteoglycans from ligament explant cultures. This was due to the increased loss of both macromolecular and free [(35)S]sulfate to the medium indicating that glucosamine affected the release of small proteoglycans as well as their intracellular degradation. The degradation pattern of small proteoglycans in ligament was not affected by glucosamine. In contrast, glucosamine did not have an effect on the loss of large or small proteoglycans from tendon and joint capsule or large proteoglycans from ligament explant cultures. The metabolism of cells in tendon, ligament and joint capsule was not impaired by the presence of 10mM glucosamine. CONCLUSIONS Glucosamine stimulated the loss of small proteoglycans from ligament but did not have an effect on small proteoglycan catabolism in joint capsule and tendon or large proteoglycan catabolism in ligament, tendon or synovial capsule. The consequences of glucosamine therapy at clinically relevant concentrations on proteoglycan catabolism in joint fibrous connective tissues need to be further assessed in an animal model.

Abstract
The sulfatase enzymes, N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B (ASB)) and galactose-6-sulfatase (GALNS) hydrolyze sulfate groups of CS. Deficiencies of ASB and GALNS are associated with the mucopolysaccharidoses. To determine if expression of ASB and GALNS impacts on glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans beyond their association with the mucopolysaccharidoses, we modified the expression of ASB and GALNS by overexpression and by silencing with small interference RNA in MCF-7 cells. Content of total sulfated GAG (sGAG), chondroitin 4-sulfate (C4S), and total chondroitin sulfates (CSs) was measured following immunoprecipitation with C4S and CS antibodies and treatment with chondroitinase ABC. Following silencing of ASB or GALNS, total sGAG, C4S, and CS increased significantly. Following overexpression of ASB or GALNS, total sGAG, C4S, and CS declined significantly. Measurements following chondroitinase ABC treatment of the cell lysates demonstrated no change in the content of the other sGAG, including heparin, heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and keratan sulfate. Following overexpression of ASB and immunoprecipitation with C4S antibody, virtually no sGAG was detectable. Total sGAG content increased to 23.39 (+/-1.06) microg/mg of protein from baseline of 12.47 (+/-0.68) microg/mg of protein following ASB silencing. mRNA expression of core proteins of the CS-containing proteoglycans, syndecan-1 and decorin, was significantly up-regulated following overexpression of ASB and GALNS. Soluble syndecan-1 protein increased following increases in ASB and GALNS and reduced following silencing, inversely to changes in CS. These findings demonstrate that modification of expression of the lysosomal sulfatases ASB and GALNS regulates the content of CSs.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of two highly sulfated polysaccharides, calcium pentosan polysulfate and heparin, on the loss of newly synthesized proteoglycans from the matrix of explant cultures of bovine tendon. The tensional region of deep flexor tendon was incubated with [35S]sulfate for 6 h and then placed in culture for up to 15 days. The amount of radiolabel associated with proteoglycans lost to the medium and retained in the matrix was determined for each day in culture. It was shown that both sulfated polysaccharides at concentrations of 1000 microg x mL(-1) inhibited the loss of 35S-labeled large and small proteoglycans from the matrix and concomitant with this was a retention of chemical levels of proteoglycans in the explant cultures. In other explant cultures that were maintained in culture in the presence of both agents for more than 5 days after incubation with [35S]sulfate, inhibition of the intracellular catabolic pathway was evident, indicating that these highly sulfated polysaccharides also interfered with the intracellular uptake of small proteoglycans by tendon cells.

Abstract
Tendons are collagenous tissues made of mainly Type I collagen and it has been shown that the major proteoglycans of tendons are decorin and versican. Little is still known about the catabolism of these proteoglycans in tendon. Therefore, the aim of the study was to characterise the proteoglycans including their catabolic products present in uncultured bovine tendon and in the explant cultures of tendon. In this study, the proteoglycans were extracted from the tensile region of deep flexor tendon and isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and after deglycosylation analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis, Western blotting and amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. Based on amino acid sequence analysis, approximately 80% of the total proteoglycan core proteins in fresh tendon was decorin. Other species that were detected were biglycan and the large proteoglycans versican (splice variants V(0) and/or V(1)) and aggrecan. Approximately 35% of decorin present in the matrix showed carboxyl-terminal proteolytic processing at a number of specific sites. The analysis of small proteoglycans lost to the medium of tendon explants showed the presence of biglycan and decorin with the intact core protein as well as decorin fragments that contained the amino terminus of the core protein. In addition, two core protein peptides of decorin starting at residues K(171) and D(180) were observed in the matrix and one core protein with an amino-terminal sequence commencing at G(189) was isolated from the culture medium. The majority of the large proteoglycans present in the matrix of tendon were degraded and did not contain the G1 globular domain. Furthermore the aggrecan catabolites present in fresh tendon and lost to the medium of explants were derived from aggrecanase cleavage of the core protein at residues E(373)-A(374), E(1480)-G(1481) and E(1771)-A(1772). The analysis of versican catabolites (splice variants V(0) and/or V(1)) also showed evidence of degradation of the core protein by aggrecanase within the GAG-beta subdomain, as well as cleavage by other proteinase(s) within the GAG-alpha and GAG-beta subdomains of versican (variants V(0) and/or V(2)). Degradation products from the amino terminal region of type XII collagen were also detected in the matrix and medium of tendon explants. This work suggests a prominent role for aggrecanase enzymes in the degradation of aggrecan and to a lesser extent versican. Other unidentified proteinases are also involved in the degradation of versican and small leucine-rich proteoglycans.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to characterize the proteoglycans and catabolic products of proteoglycans present in the tensile region of ligament and explant cultures of this tissue, and to compare these with those observed in the tensile region of tendon. Approx. 90% of the total proteoglycans in fresh ligament was decorin, as estimated by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. Other species that were detected were biglycan and the large proteoglycans versican (splice variants V(0) and/or V1 and/or V2) and aggrecan. Approx. 23% of decorin detected in the matrix was degraded. Intact decorin and decorin fragments similar to those observed in the matrix that retained the N-terminus were also observed in the medium of ligament cultures. Intact biglycan core protein was detected in the matrix and medium of ligament cultures, and two fragments originating from the N-terminal region of biglycan were observed in the matrix of cultured ligament. Versican and versican fragments that retained the N-terminus of versican core protein were detected in fresh matrix and medium of tendon cultures. Approx. 42% of versican present in the fresh ligament was degraded. Aggrecan catabolites appearing in the culture medium were derived from aggrecanase cleavage of the core protein. An intact link protein and a degradation product from the N-terminal region of type XII collagen were also detected in the medium of the ligament explant.

Abstract
This work investigated the kinetics of catabolism and the catabolic fate of the newly synthesized (35)S-labelled proteoglycans present in explant cultures of tendon. Tissue from the proximal region of bovine deep flexor tendon was incubated with [(35)S]sulfate for 6 h and then placed in explant cultures for periods of up to 15 days. The amount of radiolabel associated with proteoglycans and free [(35)S]sulfate lost to the medium and retained in the matrix was determined for each day in culture. It was shown that the rate of catabolism of radiolabelled small proteoglycans (decorin and biglycan) was significantly slower (T((1/2)) > 20 days) compared with the radiolabelled large proteoglycans (aggrecan and versican) that were rapidly lost from the tissue (T((1/2)) approximately 2 days). Both the small and large newly synthesized proteoglycans were lost from the matrix with either intact or proteolytically modified core proteins. When explant cultures of tendon were maintained either at 4 degrees C or in the presence of the lysosomotrophic agent ammonium chloride, inhibition of the cellular catabolic pathway for small proteoglycans was demonstrated indicating the involvement of cellular activity and lysosomes in the catabolism of small proteoglycans. It was estimated from these studies that approximately 60% of the radiolabelled small proteoglycans that were lost from the tissue were degraded by the intracellular pathway present in tendon cells. This work shows that the pathways of catabolism for large aggregating and small leucine-rich proteoglycans are different in tendon and this may reflect the roles that these two populations of proteoglycans play in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix of tendon.

Abstract
Tendonitis and tendon rupture have been reported to occur during or following therapy with fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Though the pathogenesis is unknown, several studies suggest that fluoroquinolone antibiotics alter proteoglycan content in soft tissues, including tendons, and thereby alter collagen fibrillogenesis. To better understand the mechanism of action of fluoroquinolones, we studied the effects of enrofloxacin, a widely used fluoroquinolone in veterinary medicine, on avian tendon cell cultures established from gastrocnemius tendons from 18-day-old chicken embryos. We found that cell proliferation was progressively inhibited with increasing concentrations of enrofloxacin. This was accompanied by changes in morphology, extracellular matrix content and collagen fibril formation as detected by electron microscopy. We also observed a 35% decrease in the content of total monosaccharides in enrofloxacin-treated cells. The ratio of individual monosaccharides was also altered in enrofloxacin-treated cells. Enrofloxacin also induced the synthesis of small amounts of keratan sulfate in tendon cells. Moreover we observed enrofloxacin-induced changes in glycosylation of decorin, the most abundant tendon proteoglycan, resulting in the emergence of multiple lower molecular bands that were identifiable as decorin after chondroitinase ABC and N-glycanase treatment of extracts from enrofloxacin-treated cells. Medium conditioned by enrofloxacin-treated cells contained less decorin than did medium conditioned by control cells. We hypothesize that enrofloxacin induces either changes in the number of N-linked oligosaccharides attached to the core protein of decorin or changes in decorin degradation process. In conclusion, our data suggest that enrofloxacin affects cell proliferation and extracellular matrix through changes in glycosylation.
