Abstract
Evidence suggests that endothelial cell layer heparan sulfate proteoglycans include a variety of different sized molecules which most likely contain different protein cores. In the present report, approximately half of endothelial cell surface associated heparan sulfate proteoglycan is shown to be releasable with soluble heparin. The remaining cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan, as well as extracellular matrix heparan sulfate proteoglycan, cannot be removed from the cells with heparin. The heparin nonreleasable cell surface proteoglycan can be released by membrane disrupting agents and is able to intercalate into liposomes. When the heparin releasable and nonreleasable cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are compared, differences in proteoglycan size are also evident. Furthermore, the intact heparin releasable heparan sulfate proteoglycan is closer in size to proteoglycans isolated from the extracellular matrix and from growth medium than to that which is heparin nonreleasable. These data indicate that cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells contain at least two distinct types of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans, one of which appears to be associated with the cells through its glycosaminoglycan chains. The other (which is more tightly associated) is probably linked via a membrane intercalated protein core.

Abstract
A novel extracellular matrix that consists of a complex of fibronectin and entactin was synthesized by the embryonal carcinoma-derived cell line 4CQ. The matrix was devoid of laminin. High steady state levels of the messenger RNAs for fibronectin, entactin, and the B2 chain of laminin were detected in these cells. Laminin B1 message was several fold lower while laminin A chain message was undetectable. In contrast, in the sister embryonal carcinoma-derived cell M1536-B3 there were high levels of message for all three chains of laminin and for entactin but very little for fibronectin. The data suggest that the synthesis and deposition of laminin and fibronectin are inversely related. The direct binding of entactin and fibronectin was also demonstrated by affinity column chromatography and solid phase assay.

Abstract
The identification of a specific required carbohydrate structure for the antithrombin III binding site on heparin suggests that there may be specific structures in glycosaminoglycan chains which are necessary for other vascular functions of these carbohydrates. Determining that such differences exist requires a mechanism to isolate heparan sulfates from endothelial cells of specific vascular beds. The present report indicates that cultured venous and aortic endothelial cells synthesize heparan sulfate chains differing in charge density. There are two important conclusions from this work. (i) Endothelial cells from different blood vessels (i.e., vena cava and thoracic aorta) synthesize heparan sulfates which differ in negative charge and sulfation pattern. Specifically, aortic endothelial heparan sulfates have a higher negative charge than venous heparan sulfates. Differences are also observed in the nitrous acid degradation products of the heparan sulfates. (ii) Endothelial cells in culture retain the ability to synthesize different heparan sulfates in vitro after months of subculture under defined conditions. These results indicate that it is feasible to characterize heparan sulfates using cultured endothelial cells from a variety of vascular beds.

Abstract
Entactin is an integral and ubiquitous component of the basement membrane. The amino acid sequences of the mouse and human molecules have been determined and exhibit 85% sequence identity. The molecule is organized into three structural domains, an N-terminal globule (I) is linked to a smaller C-terminal globule (III) by a rigid stalk (II) largely consisting of cysteine-rich EGF-like homology repeats and a cysteine-rich thyroglobulin homology repeat. The molecule binds calcium ions and supports cell adhesion. However, its major function may be the assembly of the basement membrane. The carboxyl globule binds tightly to one of the short arms of laminin at the inner rodlike segment. This same region is also believed to be responsible for the attachment of entactin to type IV collagen at approximately 80 nm from its carboxyl noncollagenous end. Entactin therefore could serve as a bridge between the two most abundant molecules in the basement membrane. Supporting evidence for this role has been obtained from transfection of human choriocarcinoma, JAR, cells with the entactin gene. JAR cells synthesize laminin and type IV collagen but not entactin. Transfection of entactin into the cells stimulated incorporation of laminin and type IV collagen along with entactin into the extracellular matrix and into structures resembling focal contacts. The calcium-binding activity of entactin may play a role in the matrix assembly process. The protease sensitivity of entactin suggests that it may be a target for proteolytic activity during tissue remodeling, metastasis, and other events requiring the turnover of the basement membrane.

Abstract
Swiss mouse 3T3 cells, when grown in the presence of 5 mM chlorate, an inhibitor of PAPS synthesis, produce heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains containing only about 8% of the sulfate normally present and which have lost the ability to bind to fibronectin. These undersulfated chains are sensitive to nitrous acid at pH 4.5, indicating that many glucosaminyl residues have unsubstituted amino groups. The iduronic acid content of the heparan sulfate produced in the presence of chlorate is reduced to less than 7% as compared to the 36% in that from untreated cells. The chlorate-treated cells do not demonstrate any alterations in their growth control. However, the spreading behavior of these cells is altered to a flat rounded morphology compared to the more typical fibroblastic appearance of the untreated cell. The sulfation of chondroitin chains is also inhibited, but at a lower chlorate concentration which does not alter growth control or the spreading ability of the cells. These data indicate that (a) 3T3 cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan is not involved in growth control but may be involved in cell spreading, (b) the use of chlorate should be a valuable method for the study of the biosynthesis and structure/function relationships of sulfated glycosaminoglycans, and (c) the temporal sequence of the heparan sulfate chain modification reactions predicted from results of studies with cell-free extracts also operates in the cell.

Abstract
A panel of nine monoclonal antibodies has been characterized, all of which have reactivity with the core protein of a large heparan sulfate proteoglycan derived from the murine EHS tumor matrix. These rat monoclonal antibodies stained mouse basement membranes intensely, including those of all muscle, endothelia, peripheral nerve fibers and epithelia so far examined. In addition, two of the monoclonal antibodies show cross-species reactivity, staining bovine and human basement membranes, and immunoprecipitating proteoglycans from human endothelial cell cultures. These antibodies do not, however, cross-react with avian tissues. These results show the ubiquitous distribution of a heparan sulfate proteoglycan in mammalian tissues, which will be useful in vitro and in vivo for studies on the biology of basement membrane proteoglycans and investigations of possible roles of these molecules in human disease processes.

Abstract
Basement membranes (BMs) are specialized extracellular matrices which have important roles in cell attachment, migration, growth, and differentiation. The major components of these matrices include type IV collagen, laminin, entactin, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The framework or scaffold of BMs has been proposed to be type IV collagen (Yurchenco et al., 1986, J. Histochem. Cytochem., 34:93-102). However, a murine teratocarcinoma cell-line, M1536-B3, has been described which produces an extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of some of the known components of BM, e.g., laminin, entactin, and sulfated proteoglycan, but lacking type IV collagen (Chung et al., 1979, Cell, 16:277-287). With the use of morphological techniques, we have found that the ECM assembled by these cells is composed of multiple layers of electron-dense cords arranged in an interweaving meshwork with short 2-4 nm-diameter cylindrical rods embedded throughout. This organization closely resembles that reported for naturally occurring BMs, e.g., Reichert's membrane (Inoué et al., 1983, J. Cell Biol., 97: 1524-1537). The previous identification of known in vivo BM components in M1536-B3 ECM and the correspondence in morphological appearance of M1536-B3 ECM with that present in naturally occurring BMs suggests that a BM-type of ECM can be assembled without a type IV collagen framework, thus indicating that other components of BMs have a critical role in BM organization and assembly.

Abstract
The distribution of 35S-sulfate-labeled macromolecules was examined within three regions of the transseptal ligament: the 1) mesial, 2) middle and 3) distal thirds. Swiss mice, 6 weeks of age, were injected with 35S-sulfate and killed after 1, 6, and 12 hours and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 days. Silver grains and cell nuclei were counted on autoradiographs which had been counterstained by the Van Gieson method, and mean counts were analyzed statistically. Analysis of variance revealed no significant differences in mean number of cell nuclei between regions throughout the course of the experiment. 35S-sulfate was rapidly incorporated into the transseptal ligament macromolecules. Grain counts were highest 6 hours after injections: counts were highest over the middle and lowest over the mesial thirds of the ligament. The rate of grain removal was significantly higher in the middle third compared to the mesial or distal thirds (P less than 0.001) and was significantly lower in the mesial third compared to the middle or distal thirds (P less than 0.001). The half-life of labeled macromolecules was significantly greater in the mesial and distal thirds than in the middle third (P less than 0.005). The data demonstrate significantly higher rates of turnover of 35S-sulfate-labeled macromolecules in the middle region of the transseptal ligament. Since cellular density was similar throughout the transseptal ligament, higher turnover rates of 35S-sulfate-labeled macromolecules probably indicate higher rates of cellular activity in this region, possibly a result of tissue remodeling coincident to stresses generated by occlusal forces and physiologic drift of the adjacent teeth.

Abstract
When calf aortic tissue, preincubated under organ culture conditions in the presence of [35S]sulfate, was submitted to a sequential collagenase and elastase digestion and guanidinium chloride extraction, the bulk of proteoheparan sulfate was obtained in the elastase fraction. Ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose of the elastase digest under dissociative conditions yielded a proteoglycan fraction that contained heparan sulfate as the sole glycosaminoglycan. The proteoheparan sulfate fraction was resolved into a high-molecular-mass (P-HS 1) and a low-molecular-mass (P-HS 2) fraction by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-400. P-HS 1 has a Mr of 175,000 and possesses four heparan sulfate side-chains (Mr 32,000) covalently bound to the protein core via a galactose- and xylose-containing polysaccharide-protein binding region. The protein core (Mr 38,000), which was obtained after deglycosylation of PG-HS 1 with trifluormethane sulfonic acid, contained in addition a few N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharide units representing a complex type with terminal neuraminic acid residues. P-HS 2 is a single-chain peptidoheparan sulfate of Mr of 38,000 containing one heparan sulfate chain (Mr 32,000) linked to a polypeptide (Mr 6000). The ratio of specific radioactivities of P-HS 1 and P-HS 2 was 1:0.66.

Abstract
Tissue culture substratum adhesion sites from EGTA-detached Platt human neuroblastoma cells were extracted with a buffer containing ocytlglucoside, NaCl, guanidine hydrochloride, and a variety of protease inhibitors, an extraction which resulted in quantitative solubilization of the 35SO4 = -radiolabeled proteoglycans and 3H-leucine-radiolabeled proteins. Of the sulfate-radiolabeled material, the vast majority was heparan sulfate proteoglycan (Kav = 0.15 on Sepharose C14B columns) and the remainder was chondroitin sulfate chains (no single chains of heparan sulfate were observed). This extract was then fractionated on DEAE-Sephadex columns under two different buffer elution conditions. Under DEAE-I conditions in low ionic strength acetate buffer, two major peaks of 35SO4 = -radiolabeled material (A,B) and a minor peak (C) could be resolved in the NaCl gradient; however, three-fourths of the material required 4 M guanidine hydrochloride to elute it from the column (peak D). Under DEAE-II conditions in acetate buffer supplemented with 8 M urea, the vast majority of the proteoglycan material could be eluted in the NaCl gradient as peak AB. Peak D material was shown to contain aggregated proteoglycan, along with nonproteoglycan protein, which high concentrations of urea or guanidine could dissociate, but not nonionic or zwitterionic detergents. Three different affinity chromatography systems were used to further characterize these components. Approximately 60% of peak A heparan sulfate proteoglycan from DEAE-I binds to the hydrophobic matrix, octyl-Sepharose, while 80% of the proteoglycan in DEAE-I peak D binds to this hydrophobic column. A sizable fraction of peak A proteoglycan fails to bind to plasma fibronectin but does bind to platelet factor-4 affinity columns. In contrast, peak AB proteoglycan from DEAE-II columns yields a much higher proportion of molecules which do bind to fibronectin. To examine the basis for these differences in affinity binding, nonproteoglycan protein from these adhesion sites was mixed with peak AB proteoglycan prior to affinity chromatography; proteoglycan binding to fibronectin decreased markedly while binding to platelet factor-4 was unaffected. This modulating activity involves the binding of nonproteoglycan protein in adhesion site extracts to both fibronectin on the column, as well as to heparan sulfate proteoglycan itself, and it could not be mimicked by a number of known proteins in adhesion site extracts or several other proteins. These results demonstrate selectivity and specificity in this modulation and indicate that a previously unidentified protein(s) is responsible.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Kleinschmidt spreading, negative staining, and rotary shadowing were used to examine the large form of (basement membrane) heparan sulfate proteoglycan in the electron microscope. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan was visualized as consisting of two parts: the core protein and, emerging from one end of the core protein, the glycosaminoglycan side chains. The core protein usually appeared as an S-shaped rod with about six globules along its length. Similar characteristics were observed in preparations of core protein in which the side chains had been removed by heparitinase treatment ("400-kDa core") as well as in a 200-kDa trypsin fragment ("P200") derived from one end of the core protein. The core protein was sensitive to lyophilization and apparently also to the method of examination, being condensed following Kleinschmidt spreading (length means = 52 nm) and extended following negative staining (length means = 83 nm) or rotary shadowing (length means = 87 nm; 400-kDa core length means = 80 nm; P200 length means = 44 nm). Two or three glycosaminoglycan side chains (length means = 146 +/- 53 nm) were attached to one end of the core protein. The side chains often appeared tangled or to merge together as one. Thus, the large heparan sulfate proteoglycan from basement membrane is an asymmetrical molecule with a core protein containing globular domains and terminally attached side chains. This structure is in keeping with that previously predicted by enzymatic digestions and with the proposed orientation in basement membranes, i.e., the core protein bound in the lamina densa and the heparan sulfate side chains in the lamina lucida arranged along the surface of the basement membranes.

Abstract
We have investigated the nature and distribution of different populations of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in several cell lines in culture. Clone 9 hepatocytes and NRK and CHO cells were biosynthetically labeled with 35SO4, and proteoglycans were isolated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. Heterogeneous populations of HSPGs and chondroitin/dermatan proteoglycans (CSPGs) were found in the media and cell layer extracts of all cultures. HSPGs were further purified from the media and cell layers and separated from CSPGs by ion exchange chromatography after chondroitinase ABC digestion. In all cell types, HSPGs were found both in the cell layers (20-70% of the total) as well as the medium. When the purified HSPG fractions were further separated by octyl-Sepharose chromatography, very little HSPG in the incubation media bound to the octyl-Sepharose, whereas 40-55% of that in the cell layers bound and could be eluted with 1% Triton X-100. This hydrophobic population most likely consists of membrane-intercalated HSPGs. Basement membrane-type HSPGs were identified by immunoprecipitation as a component (30-80%) of the unbound (nonhydrophobic) HSPG fraction. By immunofluorescence, basement membrane-type HSPGs were distributed in a reticular network in Clone 9 and NRK cell monolayers; by immunoelectron microscopy, these HSPGs were localized to irregular clumps of extracellular matrix located beneath and between cells. The cells did not produce a morphologically recognizable basement membrane layer under these culture conditions. When membrane-associated HSPGs were localized by immunoelectron microscopy, they were found in a continuous layer along the cell membrane of all cell types. The results demonstrate that two antigenically distinct populations of HSPG--an extracellular matrix and a membrane-intercalated population--are found at the surface of several different cultured cells lines; these populations can be distinguished from one another by differences in their distribution in the monolayers by immunocytochemistry and can be separated by hydrophobic chromatography; and basement membrane-type HSPGs are secreted and deposited in the extracellular matrix by cultured cells even though they do not produce a bona fide basement membrane-like layer.

Abstract
Using immunological assays, we determined the relationship between the heparan sulfate proteoglycans produced by two different murine basement-membrane-producing tumors, i.e., the mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor and the L2 rat yolk-sac tumor. Antibodies prepared against the heparan sulfate proteoglycans obtained from these two sources immunoprecipitated the same precursor protein with a molecular mass of 400,000 daltons from 35S-methionine pulse-labeled cells of both tumors. Immunohistochemistry showed the heparan sulfate proteoglycan to be distributed in the extracellular matrix and also in the native basement membrane of surrounding normal murine tissues. Blocking and ELISA assays demonstrated that the antibodies recognized both antigens. Using techniques involving the chemical and enzymatic degradation of 35S-sulfate-labeled glycosaminoglycans, the mouse EHS tumor cells were found to produce mainly heparan sulfate (75%) along with smaller amounts of chondroitin sulfate (19%), whereas the L2 rat yolk-sac tumor produced mainly chondroitin sulfate (76%) with smaller amounts of heparan sulfate (21%). We conclude that these two murine basement-membrane-producing tumors elaborate an immunologically and structurally similar type of high-molecular-weight heparan sulfate proteoglycan which subsequently becomes incorporated into basement-membrane-like material.

Abstract
Retinal pigment epithelial cells isolated by non-enzymatic means from 8 day old chick embryos were grown as explants on glass coverslips in culture. Retinal pigment epithelial cells grown in this way form colonies in which three zones, each containing cells with distinctly different morphology, pigmentation, adhesion pattern and cytoskeletal organization, can be distinguished (Turksen et al., 1983). Using specific antisera against laminin, fibronectin, type IV collagen, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan, we have found differences in the distribution of these basement membrane components in the three zones of each colony. When cells were stained with laminin, type IV collagen and fibronectin antibodies, extensive filamentous arrays were observed on the substratum side of the cells. In contrast to type IV collagen which was deposited to a similar degree in all three zones of each colony, laminin and fibronectin were most prominent in the central zone in which the packed cuboidal differentiated cells are located. In contrast to the other components, the heparan sulfate proteoglycan appeared to be associated primarily with the cell surface. Our results support the general view that basement membrane components could influence cell shape through an effect on the cytoskeleton, and play a role in the maintenance and expression of the differentiated state. Thus retinal pigment epithelial cells might provide a very useful model system for studying the interactions between the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrices and the biosynthesis of the BM components in epithelial cells.

Abstract
Rabbit lens epithelial cells synthesize and secrete a variety of [35S]sulphate-labeled glycoconjugates in vitro. Associated with the cell layer, and with the medium, was a high molecular weight glycoconjugate(s) that contained heparan sulphate which was apparently covalently linked to sulphated glycoprotein. This component(s) was eluted in the void volume of a Sepharose CL-2B column and could not be fractionated by detergent treatment or extraction with lipid solvents. The cell layer also contained glycosaminoglycans (72% heparan sulphate, 28% chondroitin sulphate), as well as a small proportion of a low molecular weight sulphated glycoprotein. The major 35S-labeled species secreted into the medium were sulphated glycoproteins with approximate molecular weights of 120,000 and 35,000 together with a heparan sulphate proteoglycan. This proteoglycan could be precipitated from the culture medium with 30% saturated (NH4)2SO4 and eluted from Sepharose CL-4B columns at approximately the same position (Kav = 0.15) as heparan sulphate proteoglycans described in the basement membrane of the EHS "sarcoma" (Hassell, J. R., P. G. Robey, H. J. Barrach, J. Wilczek, S. I. Rennard, and G. R. Martin, 1980, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:4494-4498) and of the mouse mammary epithelium (David, G., and M. Bernfield, 1981, J. Cell Biol., 91:281-286). Its presence in the culture medium was unanticipated but may be explained by the inability of these cultures to deposit a basement membrane when grown on a plastic surface. The relationship of this heparan sulphate proteoglycan to the lens epithelial basement membrane is the subject of the following paper.

Abstract
Rabbit lens epithelial cells display a similar "cobblestone" morphology and produce the same complement of sulphated macromolecules (also see Heathcote, J.G., and R.W. Orkin, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 99:852-860) whether grown on plastic or glass, dried films of gelatin or type IV collagen with laminin, or on gels of type I collagen. There was no evidence of basement membrane formation by these cells when they were grown on plastic, glass, or dried films. In contrast, cultures that had been grown on gels deposited a discrete basement membrane that followed the contours of the basal surfaces of the cells and in addition, they secreted amorphous basement membrane-like material that diffused into the interstices of the gel and associated with the collagen fibrils of the gel. A significant proportion (approximately 70%) of the heparan sulphate proteoglycan fraction that was secreted into the culture medium (fraction MI) when the cells were grown on plastic became associated with the cell-gel layer in the gel cultures. Further, when basement membrane was isolated by detergent extraction, greater than 90% of the 35S-labeled material present was in this heparan sulphate proteoglycan.

Abstract
Various forms of heparan sulfate proteoglycan were solubilized from the mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma by extraction with 0.5 M NaCl, collagenase digestion and extraction with 4 M guanidine. They could be separated into high (greater than or equal to 1.65 g/ml) and low (1.38 g/ml) buoyant density variants. The high-density form from the NaCl extract and collagenase digest had Mr = 130000 and So20,W = 4.5 S and contained 4-10% protein, indicating Mr = 5 000-12 000 for the protein core. This proteoglycan exhibited polydispersity as shown by rotary shadowing electron microscopy and ultracentrifugation. An average molecule consisted of four heparan sulfate chains (Mr = 29 000) each with a length of 32 +/- 10 nm. The low-density form (Mr about 400 000) could not be completely purified and contained about 50% protein. As shown by radioimmunoassay, the various proteoglycans shared similar protein cores. Labeling of the tumor in vivo or in vitro demonstrated preferential incorporation of radioactive sulfate in the high-density form. The high-density proteoglycan interacted in affinity chromatography by virtue of its heparan sulfate chains with laminin, fibronectin, the globular domain NC1 and the triple helix of collagen IV. These interactions were abolished at moderate concentrations of NaCl (0.1-0.2 M) and in the presence of heparin, chondroitin sulfate or dextran sulfate. Interactions with the globule NC1 could also be demonstrated by velocity band centrifugation in sucrose gradients and a binding constant of about 10(6) M-1 was derived.

Abstract
After 24 h of continuous labeling with radioactive precursors, a high molecular weight heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG) was isolated from both the medium and cell layer of human colon carcinoma cells (WiDr) in culture. The medium HS-PG eluted from a diethylaminoethyl anion exchange column with 0.45-0.50 M NaCl, had an average density of 1.46-1.49 g/ml on dissociative CsCl density-gradient ultracentrifugation, and eluted from Sepharose CL-2B with a Kav = 0.57. This proteoglycan had an estimated Mr of congruent to 8.5 X 10(5), with glycosaminoglycan chains of Mr = 3 X 10(4) which were all susceptible to HNO2 deaminative cleavage. Deglycosylation of the HS-PG with polyhydrogen fluoride resulted in a 3H-core protein with Mr congruent to 2.4 X 10(5). The cell layer contained a population of HS-PG with characteristics almost identical to that released into the medium but with a larger Mr = 9.5 X 10(5). Furthermore, an intracellular pool contained smaller heparan sulfate chains (Mr congruent to 1 X 10(4)) which were mostly devoid of protein core. In pulse chase experiments, only the large cell-associated HS-PG was released (approximately 58%) into the medium as intact proteoglycan and/or internalized and degraded (approximately 42%), with a t1/2 = 6 h. However, the small intracellular component was never released into the medium and was degraded at a much slower rate. When the cells were subjected to mild proteolytic treatment, only the large cell-associated HS-PG, but none of the small component, was displaced. Addition of exogenous heparin did not displace any HS-PG into the medium. Both light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry revealed that the cell surface reacted with antibody against an HS-PG isolated from a basement membrane-producing tumor. Electron microscopic histochemistry using ruthenium red and/or cuprolinic blue revealed numerous 10-50-nm diam granules and 70-220-nm-long electron-dense filaments, respectively, on the surface of the tumor cells. The results indicate that colon carcinoma cells synthesize HS-PGs with distinct structural and metabolic characteristics: a large secretory pool with high turnover, which appears to be synthesized as an integral membrane component and localized primarily at the cell surface, and a small nonsecretory pool with low turnover localized predominantly within the cell interior. This culture system offers an opportunity to investigate in detail the mechanisms involved in the regulation of proteoglycan metabolism, and in the establishment of the neoplastic phenotype.

Abstract
The effect of p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside on glomerular extracellular matrices (glomerular basement membrane and mesangial matrix) proteoglycans was studied. The proteoglycans of rat kidneys were labeled with [35S]sulfate in the presence or absence of beta-xyloside (2.5 mM) by using an isolated organ perfusion system. The proteoglycans from the glomeruli and perfusion medium were isolated and characterized by Sepharose CL-6B chromatography and by their behavior in CsCl density gradients. With xyloside treatment there was a twofold decrease in 35S-labeled macromolecules in the tissues but a twofold increase in those recovered in the medium as compared with the control. The labeled proteoglycans extracted from control kidneys eluted as a single peak with Kav = 0.25 (Mr = approximately 130,000), and approximately 95% of the radioactivity was associated with heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG), the remainder with chondroitin (or dermatan) sulfate proteoglycan (CS-PG). In the xyloside-treated kidneys, the proteoglycans extracted from the tissue eluted as two peaks, Kav = 0.25 (Mr = approximately 130,000) and 0.41 (Mr = approximately 46,000), which contained approximately 40 and approximately 60% of the total radioactivity, respectively. The first peak contained mostly the HS-PG (approximately 90%) while the second peak had a mixture of HS-PG (approximately 70%) and CS-PG (approximately 30%). In controls, approximately 90% of the radioactivity, mostly HS-PG, was confined to high density fractions of a CsCl density gradient. In contrast, in xyloside experiments, both HS-PG and CS-PG were distributed in variable proportions throughout the gradient. The incorporated 35S activity in the medium of xyloside-treated kidneys was twice that of the controls and had three to four times the amount of free chondroitin (or dermatan) sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains. The data suggest that beta-xyloside inhibits the addition of de novo synthesized glycosaminoglycan chains onto the core protein of proteoglycans and at the same time stimulates the synthesis of chondroitin or dermatan sulfate chains which are mainly discharged into the perfusion medium.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate proteoglycan from the L2 rat yolk sac carcinoma has been purified and partially characterized. The proteoglycan has an apparent Mr of 750 000, 35% of which represents the core protein. The core protein seems to be homogeneous, whereas the heparan sulfate chains are heterogeneous with an Mr of about 50 000-70 000, with 30% of the glucosamine being N-sulfated. Antibodies raised against the core protein of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan reacted with basement membranes of various rat and human tissue.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans have been isolated from Swiss mouse 3T3 cells by using two nondegradative techniques: extraction with 4 M guanidine or 2.5% 1-butanol. These proteoglycans were separated from copurifying chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans by using ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose in the presence of 2 M urea. The purified heparan sulfate proteoglycans are substantially smaller, ca. Mr 20 000, than those isolated from these same cells with trypsin, ca. Mr 720 000 [Johnston, L.S., Keller, K. L., & Keller, J. M. (1979) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 583, 81-94]. However, all of the heparan sulfate proteoglycans extracted by these three methods contain similar glycosaminoglycan chains (Mr 7500) and are derived from the same pool of cell surface associated molecules. The trypsin-released heparan sulfate proteoglycan (ca. Mr 720 000) can be significantly reduced in size (ca. Mr 33 000) under strong denaturing conditions in the presence of the disulfide reducing agent dithiothreitol, which suggests that this form of the molecule is a disulfide-bonded aggregate. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan isolated from the medium also undergoes a significant size reduction in the presence of dithiothreitol, indicating that a similar aggregate is formed as part of the normal release of heparan sulfate proteoglycans into the medium. These results suggest that well-shielded disulfide bonds between individual heparan sulfate proteoglycan monomers may account for the large variation in sizes which has been reported for heparan sulfate proteoglycans isolated from a variety of cells and tissues with a variety of extraction procedures.

Abstract
Parietal yolk sac cells M1536 -B3 grown on cytodex 2 beads deposited an extracellular matrix on the surface of the beads. Cell-free matrix-coated beads were isolated by treatment of the cell monolayer with cytochalasin B (CB) at a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The matrix when analysed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels (PAGE) revealed that the major components were laminin and entactin . The matrix-coated beads were used to study the attachment, spreading, and growth of African Green monkey BSC-40, human mammary MCF-7, mouse fibroblast L929, rat liver clone 9, and rat hepatoma H-4-II-E cells in defined serum-free growth medium. The different cell lines exhibited varying responses to matrix-coated vs uncoated beads with respect to rate of attachment, spreading, and growth. One of the most consistent responses observed was the enhancement of cell spreading on matrix-coated beads. The results suggested that the matrix-coated beads will provide a readily available and valuable tool for studies on cell surface-extracellular matrix interactions and the physiological consequences of those interactions.
