Glycosaminoglycans synthesized by human skin fibroblasts were simultaneously radiolabelled with D-[1-(3H)]glucosamine and Na2(35)SO4. Considering 3H incorporation, we found that IFNgamma increased the production of glycosaminoglycan synthesis, including hyaluronic acid, heparan and chondroitin/dermatan sulfate. In contrast, the production of heparan and chondroitin/dermatan sulfate was slightly decreased on the basis of the 35S signal. Furthermore, when heparan sulfate was treated with nitrous acid, the release of free 35S was greater in control than in treated cells, although the 3H patterns of depolymerization with this agent were similar. These data demonstrate that IFNgamma inhibits the incorporation of sulfate from extracellular medium into heparan sulfate.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007371	Interferon-gamma	The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.
