Heavy Chain Transfer by Tumor Necrosis Factor-stimulated Gene 6 to the Bikunin Proteoglycan

Abstract: Background:The glycosaminoglycan of bikunin is less than 40 monosaccharides in length, but it can reversibly accept two heavy chains (HCs). Results: TSG-6 can reversibly transfer a single HC to the glycosaminoglycan of bikunin. Conclusion: The core protein, or sulfated glycosaminoglycan, of bikunin promotes reversible HC transfer to its relatively short CS chain. Significance: The intracellular assembly of inter-␣-inhibitor is likely independent of transesterification by TSG-6.

“…It is noteworthy that bikunin, which is a CS proteoglycan drug prepared from normal human urine and is used to treat acute pancreatitis, 44 contains a single CS chain comprised of 0S (~66%) and 4S (~33%) disaccharide units. 17,23,4547 These results suggest that bikunin comprises only a portion of the CS present in human urine.…”

“…7 The fine structures, as well as the chain sizes, of GAGs have a profound impact on their biological activities. 8,9,1517 Thus, it is critically important to develop the means of GAG analysis, particularly in their natural environment, such as in tissues 18,19 and in biological fluids. Urine, while representing an easy to access biological fluid, presents a particular challenge to analysis, because normal urine contains variable and extremely low levels of excreted GAGs, in addition to other sulfated metabolites.…”

“…TSG-6 can also bind weakly (180 n m ) and metal ion-independently to the bikunin·CS component of IαI ( 40 , 46 ); this is probably mediated (at least in part) through the recognition of the CS chain by the Link module ( 47 ). Interestingly, this CS moiety has been clearly implicated as being necessary for HC·TSG-6 formation ( 40 ), requiring a particular sulfation pattern in the glycosaminoglycan linkage region in order for IαI to act as a substrate ( 24 ); chondroitin ( 91 , 92 ) and the CS chain of bikunin·CS ( 93 ), which has non-sulfated “chondroitin-like” regions ( 23 ), can act as weak substrates for HC transfer. At the moment, we do not know the temporal sequence of this CS·bikunin-binding event relative to the metal ion-dependent interaction between the TSG-6 CUB module and an IαI HC (described in the present study).…”

“…[83] This transfer of the HCs to HA occurs by a process of trans-esterification catalyzed by the enzyme TSG-6 [84] and apparently stabilizes the HA countering its depolymerization by free radicals released by inflammatory cells during OA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These are absent in murine aggrecan with no obvious detrimental effect on cartilage function and aggrecan turnover.…”
