Occurrence of the HNK-1 epitope (3-sulfoglucuronic acid) in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, chromaffin granule membranes, and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. 1987

R K Margolis, and J A Ripellino, and B Goossen, and R Steinbrich, and R U Margolis

After biosynthetic labeling of sulfated glycoproteins in rat and goldfish brain and PC12 pheochromocytoma cells with sodium [35S]sulfate, it was observed that all of the bands reactive with the HNK-1 antibody on immunoblots of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels corresponded with sulfate-labeled proteins detected by fluorography. These results support data from other studies, which indicate that the HNK-1 epitope is a 3-sulfo-glucuronic acid residue. In addition to its presence in a wide range of nervous tissue glycoproteins, the HNK-1 epitope was also detected in chromaffin granule membranes, chondroitinase ABC, and in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans of brain, cartilage, and chondrosarcoma. However, it is not present in the heparan sulfate proteoglycan of brain, or in either of two chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate proteoglycans in the chromaffin granule matrix.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.
