  • Title: Further characterization of the glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans released from TA3 murine adenocarcinoma cells in culture.
    Author: Miller DK, Cooper AG.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 1986 Aug 15; 151():157-71. PubMed ID: 3768885.
    Abstract:
    TA3 murine ascites adenocarcinoma cells were compared for their ability to release radioactive glucosamine and 35SO4-labeled glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans into the culture medium. Both TA3-Ha and TA3-St cells contained cell-surface heparan sulfate that was released into culture, but not chondroitin sulfate. Both cells released a membranous aggregate of labeled components from the cell surface and hyaluronic acid from inside the cells that fractionated in the void volume of Sepharose CL-4B. This void-volume fraction from the TA3-Ha cells contained glucosamine-labeled epiglycanin at a higher concentration relative to other glucosamine-labeled components than that found on plasma membranes. Glycoproteins associated with epiglycanin found on the cell surface, as well as released into culture medium, contained sulfate that could not be removed by chondroitinase ABC, heparinase, or keratinase. Kinetic analysis of the glucosamine-labeled material released from TA3-Ha cells indicated that hyaluronic acid was released rapidly with a 45-min half-life, whereas the other membranous components were released much more slowly.
