| T1 |
0-169 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Potential role for heparan sulfate proteoglycans in regulation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) by modulating assembly of latent TGF-beta-binding protein-1. |
| T2 |
170-373 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Latent transforming growth factor-beta-binding proteins (LTBPs) are extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoproteins that play a major role in storage of latent TGF-beta in the ECM and regulate its availability. |
| T3 |
374-518 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We have previously identified fibronectin as a key molecule for incorporation of LTBP1 and TGF-beta into the ECM of osteoblasts and fibroblasts. |
| T4 |
519-629 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here we provide evidence that heparan sulfate proteoglycans may mediate binding between LTBP1 and fibronectin. |
| T5 |
630-868 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We have localized critical domains in the N terminus of LTBP1 that are required for co-localization with fibronectin in osteoblast cultures and have identified heparin binding sites in the N terminus of LTBP1 between residues 345 and 487. |
| T6 |
869-986 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Solid-phase binding assays suggest that LTBP1 does not bind directly to fibronectin but that the binding is indirect. |
| T7 |
987-1099 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Heparin coupled to bovine serum albumin (heparin-BSA) was able to mediate binding between fibronectin and LTBP1. |
| T8 |
1100-1284 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Treatment of primary osteoblast cultures with heparin or heparin-BSA but not with chondroitin sulfate impaired LTBP1 deposition onto fibronectin without inhibiting expression of LTBP1. |
| T9 |
1285-1443 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inhibition of LTBP1 incorporation was accompanied by reduced incorporation of latent TGF-beta into the ECM, with increased amounts of soluble latent TGF-beta. |
| T10 |
1444-1598 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inhibition of attachment of glycosaminoglycans to the core proteins of proteoglycans by beta-d-xylosides also reduced incorporation of LTBP1 into the ECM. |
| T11 |
1599-1801 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These studies suggest that heparan sulfate proteoglycans may play a critical role in regulating TGF-beta availability by controlling the deposition of LTBP1 into the ECM in association with fibronectin. |
