Cadmium is an environmental pollutant and a risk factor for atherosclerosis. In the atherosclerotic intima, dermatan sulfate chains accelerate accumulation and oxidation of LDL cholesterol. The major type of dermatan sulfate proteoglycan that is synthesized by vascular endothelial cells is biglycan. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of cadmium on the biglycan synthesis using cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. Cadmium did not induce biglycan mRNA and core protein expression; however, it elongated the chondroitin/dermatan sulfate chains of biglycan. Among elongation enzymes of the chondroitin/dermatan sulfate chain, chondroitin sulfate synthase 1 (CHSY1) mRNA and protein expression were dose- and time-dependently upregulated by cadmium depending on protein kinase Cα. This finding suggests that CHSY1-dependent elongation of chondroitin/dermatan sulfate chains of biglycan may exacerbate cadmium-induced atherosclerosis.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
