    Notes: Summary Administration of Concanavalin A (Con A) to cultured skin fibroblasts derived from chick embryos at two developmental stages produce variations in the relative concentration of individual glycosaminoglycan (GAG) secreted by the cells. This effect is different: at 7 days (increase of hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulphate and decrease of chondroitin sulphate) and at 14 days (dermatan sulphate is not detectable). All the cells bind the Con A specifically, but a different pattern of agglutination is present in fibroblasts of the two embryonic ages. Since Con A is well known to bind carbohydrate-containing surface proteins, the result suggests that the release of GAG by chick embryonic fibroblasts can be modulated by cell surface receptors.

    Notes: In order to evaluate the relationship between glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis and degradation, the effect of NH4Cl, which inhibits lysosomal degradation, on GAG production was analysed in vitro in concanavalin A (Con A) stimulated fibroblasts from 7 and 14-day-old chick embryos. 35SO4 incorporation into total proteoglycan (PG), 3H incorporation into individual GAG classes, β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase and β-D-glucuronidase activity were determined. The results indicate a correlation between Con A and NH4Cl effects: NH4Cl induced a reduction principally in the GAG classes most stimulated by Con A. Thus HA and DS are much more stimulated by Con A and inhibited by NH4Cl than are CS and HS.
