Application

Chondroitin appears to play a regulatory role for chondrocytes, neural cells, and some tumor cells. Chondroitin sulfate B is used to study ß peptide (1-42) cytotoxicity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

As a large, negatively charged, hydrophilic molecule that is too inflexible to fold into a compact globular structure, chondroitin sulfate molecules form porous hydrated gels, providing mechanical support to tissue and allowing rapid diffusion of water-soluble molecules and migration of cells.

Disclaimer

Store this product at 2-8°C.

Other Notes

Chondroitin Sulfate A is an acidic mucopolysaccharide found in cartilage, skin, cornea, and umbilical cord. It is composed of alternating N-acetylgalactosamine, D-glucuronic acid, and sulfate residues in equimolar quantities where carbon 4 of the N-acetylgalactosamines is sulfated.

Preparation Note

This product is soluble in water at 100 mg/mL.

Inflammation and joint destruction may be linked to the generation of cartilage metabolites of ADAMTS-5 through activation of toll-like receptors.

N Sharma et al.

Osteoarthritis and cartilage, 28(5), 658-668 (2019-11-18)

Links between pain and joint degradation are poorly understood. We investigated the role of activation of Toll-like receptors (TLR) by cartilage metabolites in initiating and maintaining the inflammatory loop in OA causing joint destruction. Synovial membrane explants (SMEs) were prepared

Characterization of regional meniscal cell and chondrocyte phenotypes and chondrogenic differentiation with histological analysis in osteoarthritic donor-matched tissues.

Jingsong Wang et al.

Scientific reports, 10(1), 21658-21658 (2020-12-12)

Meniscus degeneration is closely related to the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, there is currently a lack of quantitative and objective metrics to assess OA meniscal cell phenotypes. In this study we investigated the phenotypic markers and chondrogenic potency

Relevant assay to study the adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to the placental epithelium.

Philippe Boeuf et al.

PloS one, 6(6), e21126-e21126 (2011-07-07)

In placental malaria, Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes adhere to the apical plasma membrane of the placental epithelium, triggering an impairment of placental function detrimental to the fetus. The design of anti-adhesion intervention strategies requires a detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved.

Characterization of the interleukin-17 effect on articular cartilage in a translational model: an explorative study.

Dovile Sinkeviciute et al.

BMC rheumatology, 4, 30-30 (2020-05-20)

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive, chronic disease characterized by articular cartilage destruction. The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17 levels have been reported elevated in serum and synovial fluid of OA patients and correlated with increased cartilage defects and bone remodeling. The aim

The Non-Fibrillating N-Terminal of α-Synuclein Binds and Co-Fibrillates with Heparin.

Line K Skaanning et al.

Biomolecules, 10(8) (2020-08-23)

The intrinsically disordered protein α-synuclein (aSN) is, in its fibrillated state, the main component of Lewy bodies-hallmarks of Parkinson's disease. Additional Lewy body components include glycosaminoglycans, including heparan sulfate proteoglycans. In humans, heparan sulfate has, in an age-dependent manner, shown
