Investigation on Plant Heparanase and its Inhibitors

Ramya Gunashekaran, Ragavi Sasikumar

Abstract


Heparanase is an endoglycosidase which cleaves heparan sulfate (HS) and hence participates in degradation and remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM). It further regulates multiple biological activities that enhance tumour growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Heparanase expression is enhanced in almost all cancers examined including various carcinomas, sarcomas and haematological malignancies. In the present article, heparanase enzyme in plants and its activity against inhibitors was described. Here the heparanase enzyme and the E.coli enzyme (β-glucuronidase or GUS) was very similar. Hence the dilution process and quantitative assays were being done to examine its activity.


Keywords


extracellular matrix (ECM), E.coli enzyme (β-glucuronidase), heparan sulphate (HS), tumour growth
