KJ Abstract PGs substituted with HS often remain attached to the cell surface but are also distributed to basement membranes and pericellulur Xylose forms the direct carbohydrate-protein link in extra- or pericel- matrices. A number of investigations have shown that the HS chains lular proteoglycans (PGs) that are substituted with either chondroitin have many important biological functions, including the promotion of sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) and/or heparan sulfate (HS). Cell surface PGs carrying HS are important regulators of cell growth. Xylose cell proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. These functions are coupled to an aromatic compound can enter cells and initiate either ( 'S/I)S exerted via interactions with extracellular matrix proteins (1, 2), synthesis or both HS and CS/DS synthesis, depending on the nature of the growth factors, and growth factor receptors (3-6). Certain heparin- aromatic adduci. Here, we show that 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)-0-ß-D-xy- like HS species, as well as DS, also inhibit growth when added to lopyranoside, which can prime both types of glycan chains, inhibits cultures of normal fibroblasts (7. 8). These GAGs, especially HS. are growlh of a sel of normal and Iransformed cells. Transformed cells are complex and contain a number of structural motifs. The structures preferenlially inhibiled, and al a concenlration of 0.15-0.20 HIMxyloside, involved in growth inhibition have not yet been determined. Iransformed cells are totally growth arrested, whereas normal cells are only <50', inhibited. No inhibition of growth is observed with Ihe sle- Cells can use ß-D-xylopyranosides with hydrophobic aglycones as reoisomeric 2-(6-hydroxynaphlhyI)-0-ß-L-xylopyranoside, which does noi primers for GAG synthesis in most types of cells, and at sufficiently prime glycosaminoglycan synlhesis at all; with the nonhydroxylated high xyloside concentration, endogenous PG synthesis is competi 2-naphlhyl-O-ß-D-xylopyranoside, which only primes CS/DS synlhesis tively inhibited (9-12).

We conclude lhal growlh rings, such as naphthol, can prime both CS/DS and HS chains, inhibition is due lo priming of HS and/or CS/DS synthesis, which may whereas simpler xylosides prime only CS/DS chains (11, 13). These either lead to Ihe formation of specific antiproliferative glycans or glycan free GAG chains are usually secreted into the extracellular environ fragments or to inlerference wilh endogenous PG synthesis and turnover. ment but may also bind to cell surface receptors. Introduction Xylosides may thus be used for several purposes, including manip ulation of PG synthesis and regulation of various cellular activities, Xylose, an unusual sugar in the animal kingdom, occupies a key such as growth. To perform sequence analysis of GAG, we have position in a family of complex macromolecular glycoconjugates explored the use of xylosides with iodinatable aglycones (such as called PGs,3 which are made and secreted by almost all cells. During /7-hydroxyphenol), and we have recently devised a procedure for biosynthesis of PGs, serine residues in consensus sequences of the end-labeling and sequence analysis of CS/DS chains (14). In search core protein, such as (D/E)GSG(D/E), become substituted with the ing for iodinatable xylosides with potential for HS priming, we tested trisaccharide Galßl-3Galßl-4Xylßl-,where xylose forms the carbo Xyl-NapOH. Here, we report that this xyloside. which has the poten hydrate-protein connection. Then the alternate addition of uronic acid tial to prime both HS and CS/DS synthesis, can also inhibit cell and hexosamine generates long, linear GAG backbones. Two kinds of proliferation, preferentially in transformed cells or tumor-derived backbones can be made, either type I (-3-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine- cells. /3-1-4-D-glucuronic acid-ß-l-)„or type II (-4-/V-acetyl-D-glucosa- mine-a-l-4-D-glucuronic acid-ß-l-)„.Inboth cases, further modifica Materials and Methods tions, such as /V-deacetylation/W-sulfation of /V-acetyl-D-glucosamine, C-5 epimerization of D-glucuronic acid (to L-iduronic acid), and Cells, Enzymes, and Column Media.
