The most characteristics are in chondroitin\/dermatan sulfate fine structure and proportion, which might be due to differential expression of the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis. The aim of the present work was the investigation in expressional and epigenetic level of the enzymes involved in chondroitin\/dermatan sulfate biosynthesis in laryngeal cancer.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Tissues subjected to total RNA and DNA isolation, and protein extraction.

Dermatan sulfate epimerase was expressed exclusively in the cancerous parts and in minor amounts in healthy tissues; in the macroscopically normal samples it was not detected. Furthermore, chondroitin synthase I and chondroitin polymerizing factor were strongly expressed in the cancerous parts compared to the corresponding normal tissues. Sulfotransferases, like chondroitin 6 sulfotransferase 3, were highly expressed mainly in healthy specimens.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study of the various chondroitin\/dermatan synthesizing enzymes revealed that they were differentially expressed in cancer, in human laryngeal cartilage, leading to specific chondroitin\/dermatan structures which contributed to proteoglycan formation with specific features. The expression of the examined enzymes correlated with the glycosaminoglycan profile observed in previous studies.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1758-3284-2-27","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,8]],"date-time":"2010-10-08T06:14:05Z","timestamp":1286518445000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["The chondroitin\/dermatan sulfate synthesizing and modifying enzymes in laryngeal cancer: Expressional and epigenetic studies"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Kalathas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irene-Eva","family":"Triantaphyllidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas S","family":"Mastronikolis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panos D","family":"Goumas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thoedore A","family":"Papadas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Tsiropoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Demitrios H","family":"Vynios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"120_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1573","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biochi.2007.07.006","volume":"89","author":"SS Skandalis","year":"2007","unstructured":"Skandalis SS, Stylianou M, Vynios DH, Papageorgakopoulou N, Theocharis DA: The structural and compositional changes of glycosaminoglycans are closely associated with tissue type in human laryngeal cancer.
