The heparanase/syndecan‐1 axis in cancer: mechanisms and therapies

Abstract: Heparanase is an endoglucuronidase that cleaves heparan sulfate chains of proteoglycans. In many malignancies, high heparanase expression and activity correlate with an aggressive tumor phenotype. A major consequence of heparanase action in cancer is a robust up-regulation of growth factor expression and increased shedding of syndecan-1, a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan. Substantial evidence indicates that heparanase and syndecan-1 work together to drive growth factor signaling and regulate cell be… Show more

“…4D). Of note, CD138, which is highly expressed and released as a soluble molecule from MM cells, including SKO-007(J3) cells (35), was reduced in ADAM17-silenced cells, making evident the specific effect of ADAM10-silencing on MICB shedding (Fig. 4E).…”

“…In most cases, however, it is unclear whether misexpressed syndecans are contributors or bystanders in tumour progression. However, in the case of myeloma, syndecan-1 expression has been causally related to tumour growth and malignancy [205]. In addition, there appears to be an important role for heparanase, an enzyme that cleaves heparan sulfate chains into oligosaccharides that may retain important biological functions [205].…”

In addition, there appears to be an important role for heparanase, an enzyme that cleaves heparan sulfate chains into oligosaccharides that may retain important biological functions [205]. There are now several tumour types where heparanase is implicated in progression and an inhibitor is now in the early stages of clinical trials.…”

“…Heparanase, an endoglycosidase that cleaves HS side chains and liberates the HSPG-bound GFs, is also active in regulation of HSPG shedding (Purushothaman et al, 2008;Ramani et al, 2013). We hypothesized that heparanase is involved in HPV release from primary attachment factors and, thus, regulates HPV infectivity.…”
