title: Lack of acidic fibroblast growth factor activation by heparan sulfate species from diabetic rat skin.
abstract: The glucosaminoglycans isolated from the skin of control and streptozotocin-diabetic rats were fractionated on ion-exchange chromatography into a heparan sulfate (HS)-like and a heparin-like species. In addition, a low sulfated fraction was isolated from the diabetics. The HS and heparin-like fractions isolated from the diabetics (in contrast to the low sulfated fractions) retained high affinity for the acidic (FGF-1) and basic (FGF-2) fibroblast growth factors. In culture, the fractions purified from the control rats and the heparin-like material isolated from the diabetics mediated the biological activity of both FGFs in a dose-dependent manner. By contrast, the diabetic HS-like fractions promoted the biological activity of FGF-2 but not of FGF-1. The results support the idea that the structural motives in HS required for FGF-1 and FGF-2 mediated receptor signalling are different. They may be relevant to the impaired wound healing observed in the disease.
