Under-sulfation by PAPS synthetase inhibition modulates the expression of ECM molecules during chondrogenesis

Abstract

Sulfation of proteoglycans is an important post-translational modification in chondrocytes. We previously found that 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) synthetase-2 levels increased more than 10-fold during mesenchymal cell chondrogenesis. Given that PAPS is the sole sulfur donor, and is produced only by PAPS synthetase in all cells, increased expression of PAPS synthetase-2 should be a prerequisite for increased sulfation activity of chondrocytes. We found that sodium chlorate, a specific inhibitor of PAPS synthetase, inhibited proteoglycan sulfation during chondrogenesis. In contrast, sodium chlorate unexpectedly induced early expression of type II collagen and increased the number of cartilage nodules during chondrogenesis. Inhibition of sulfation also accelerated the down-regulation of N-cadherin and fibronectin during chondrogenesis. These findings suggest that sulfation has an important regulatory role in coordinating the timely expression of extracellular matrix molecules during chondrogenesis, and that under-sulfation may cause the breakdown of this coordination, leading to premature chondrogenesis.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
