Abstract

The in vitro synthesis of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycan free chains was studied in human epidermal keratinocytes. Preconfluent and confluent cultures established on 3T3 feeders were steady state labeled with [35S]-sulfate and [3H]-glucosamine after removal of the 3T3 cells. Products in nonionic detergent extracts of keratinocytes and in the medium were analyzed in the presence of protease inhibitors. Glycosaminoglycans as proteoglycans and as free chains were defined by susceptibility or resistance, respectively, to alkaline borohydride reduction. Products associated with the cells were approximately 30% proteoglycans and approximately 70% glycosaminoglycan free chains, whereas in the medium virtually all was proteoglycan. The heparan and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans were small compared to those of many other cell types. Their Kav on Sepharose CL-4B was 0.56 (estimated 50 kDa), whereas the free chain Kav was 0.74 (estimated 12 kDa). Relative amounts of the sulfated products varied with confluence and differentiation; heparan and chondroitin sulfates were equally represented within the free chains and proteoglycans of the cells in preconfluent, proliferating cultures, whereas in postconfluent, differentiated cultures the major labeling was in the heparan sulfate products, consistent with our prior reports (J Invest Dermatol 88:215-9, 1987 and 91:492-8, 1988). The cellular localization of the products was probed with glycosaminoglycan degrading enzymes added to isotopically prelabeled cultures. The proteoglycans appeared to be located on the external surface of plasma membranes, whereas the glycosaminoglycan free chains resisted digestion and are either intracellular or membrane associated, but otherwise inaccessible. These data establish the distinctive pattern of low Mr proteoglycans and abundant cell-associated glycosaminoglycan free chains synthesized by keratinocytes.
