Research Abstract |
Chondroitin sulfate(CS) is an important component of the cell surface and extracellular matrix in the central nervous system. CS is divided into at least four subclasses, known as CS-A, CS-C, CS-D and CS-E, on the basis of the sulfation patterns of their major disaccharide units. The CS-E polysaccharide, but not CS-A, CS-C or CS-D polysaccharide, was changed cell adhesion and mourphology of cultured neuronal cells. The action of CS-E polysaccharide is mediated through VEGF receptor/eNOS and VEGF receptor/Raf-1/Rb signalings.
