Heparan sulfate is a long, linear polysaccharide with sulfation modifications and belongs to the glycosaminoglycan family. Our recent studies elucidated that the axon guidance molecule Slit3 is a new heparan sulfate-binding protein and a novel angiogenic factor by interacting with its cognate receptor Robo4, which is specifically expressed in endothelial cells. Here we describe using heparan sulfate-deficient mouse endothelial cells to determine the co-reception function of heparan sulfate in Slit3-induced endothelial cell migration in a Boyden chamber trans-well migration assay.
硫酸乙酰肝素是一种具有硫酸化修饰的长链线性多糖,属于糖胺聚糖家族。我们最近的研究表明,轴突导向分子Slit3是一种新的硫酸乙酰肝素结合蛋白,也是一种新型血管生成因子,它通过与其在内皮细胞中特异性表达的同源受体Robo4相互作用发挥作用。在此,我们描述了在博伊登室跨膜迁移试验中,使用硫酸乙酰肝素缺陷型小鼠内皮细胞来确定硫酸乙酰肝素在Slit3诱导的内皮细胞迁移中的共受体功能。
