Glycosaminoglycans of skin and urine in pseudoxanthoma elasticum: evidence for chondroitin 6-sulfate alteration. 1986

M O Longas, and P Wisch, and M G Lebwohl, and R Fleischmajer

Abnormally elevated hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate were isolated from lesional skin of a patient with severe pseudoxanthoma elasticum. These glycosaminoglycans (estimated as uronic acid) surpassed the normal controls by 33.6 and 4.8 magnitudes, respectively. Urine chondroitin 6-sulfate of the same patient moved faster by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate than its counterpart isolated from urine of another four patients or from the normal controls. Hyaluronic acid and chondroitin 6-sulfate exceeded their counterparts in normal urine by 2- to 10- and 4- to 18-folds, respectively. These increments correlated with the pseudoxanthoma elasticum severity in three of the five patients studied. The data showed: the first conclusive evidence that dermatan sulfate increased in lesional skin of a patient, with severe pseudoxanthoma elasticum, who also had considerably augmented HA, alteration of the same patient's urine chondroitin 6-sulfate, and diversified urine glycosaminoglycans in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011561 Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum An inherited disorder of connective tissue with extensive degeneration and calcification of ELASTIC TISSUE primarily in the skin, eye, and vasculature. At least two forms exist, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. This disorder is caused by mutations of one of the ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS. Patients are predisposed to MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION and GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE.

D002807 Chondroitin A mucopolysaccharide constituent of chondrin. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D002809 Chondroitin Sulfates Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.

D003871 Dermatan Sulfate A naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found mostly in the skin and in connective tissue. It differs from CHONDROITIN SULFATE A (see CHONDROITIN SULFATES) by containing IDURONIC ACID in place of glucuronic acid, its epimer, at carbon atom 5.

D006025 Glycosaminoglycans Heteropolysaccharides which contain an N-acetylated hexosamine in a characteristic repeating disaccharide unit. The repeating structure of each disaccharide involves alternate 1,4- and 1,3-linkages consisting of either N-acetylglucosamine (see ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE) or N-acetylgalactosamine (see ACETYLGALACTOSAMINE).
