E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Heparanase is a critical enzyme involved in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and its elevated expression has been linked with diseases such as cancer and inflammation. The detection of heparanase enzymatic activity holds tremendous value in the study of the cellular microenvironment, and search of molecular therapeutics targeting heparanase, however, assays developed for this enzyme so far have suffered prohibitive drawbacks. Here we present an ultrasensitive fluorogenic small-molecule probe for heparanase enzymatic activity. The probe exhibits a 756-fold fluorescence turn-on response in the presence of human heparanase, allowing one-step detection of heparanase activity in real-time with a picomolar detection limit.

However, the regulation of the enzymatically- inactive heparanase (HepL) remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that in response to high glucose (HG) and secretion of HepL from the endothelial cell (EC), HepL uptake and function can protect the cardiomyocyte by modifying its cell death signature. HG promoted both HepL and HepA secretion from EC, with subsequent uptake of HepL into cardiomyocytes. This occurred through a low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) dependent mechanism, as LRP1 inhibition significantly reduced uptake.

Findings were compared with those of prostasomes isolated from two human adenocarcinoma cell lines that reflect clinical features and molecular pathways of androgen-insensitive and hormone-responsive prostate cancer. Our aim was to determine whether neoplastic transformation is accompanied by changes of glycosidase and protease activities. Our results show that decreases of dipeptidyl peptidase IV and increases of urokinase plasminogen activator and cathepsin B are consistent with the clinical features of the cell lines, whereas increases of glycosidase activities seem to be of scarce biological significance.

  • Degradation of Heparan Sulfate in the Subendothelial Extracellular Matrix by a Readily Released Heparanase from Human Neutrophils
    Degradation of heparan sulfate in the subendothelial extracellular matrix by a readily released heparanase from human neutrophils. Possible role in invasion through basement membranes. Y Matzner, … , Z Fuks, I Vlodavsky J Clin Invest. 1985;76(4):1306-1313. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI112104. Research Article Freshly isolated human neutrophils were investigated for their ability to degrade heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by cultured corneal and vascular endothelial cells. The ECM was metabolically labeled with Na2(35S)O4 and labeled degradation products were analyzed by gel filtration over Sepharose 6B. More than 90% of the released radioactivity consisted of heparan sulfate fragments 5-6 times smaller than intact heparan sulfate side chains released from the ECM by either papain or alkaline borohydride. These fragments were sensitive to deamination with nitrous acid and were not produced in the presence of either heparin or serine protease inhibitors. In contrast, degradation of soluble high molecular weight heparan sulfate proteoglycan, which was first released from the ECM, was inhibited by heparin but there was no effect of protease inhibitors. These results indicate that interaction of human neutrophils with the subendothelial ECM is associated with degradation of its heparan sulfate by means of a specific, newly identified, heparanase activity and that this degradation is facilitated to a large extent by serine proteases. The neutrophil heparanase was readily and preferentially
