title: Proteoglycan composition in cell nuclei of mouse hepatoma.
abstract: Cell nuclei of mouse hepatoma contain various proteoglycans (PG) which include heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG), dermatan sulfate proteoglycan (DS-PG), and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CS AC-PG). The latter is not found in cell nuclei of normal mouse liver. Heparan sulfate (HS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) are the main constituents of carbohydrate chains of nuclear proteoglycans of tumor and normal cells, respectively. Changes in the composition of nuclear PG during malignant transformation are discussed considering the concept of their possible involvement in the regulation of cell mitotic activity.
