Heparan sulfate plays a central role in a dynamic in vitro model of protein-losing enteropathy.

Abstract excerpt

Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), the loss of plasma proteins through the intestine, is a symptom in ostensibly unrelated diseases. Emerging commonalities indicate that genetic insufficiencies predispose for PLE and environmental insults, e.g. viral infections and inflammation, trigger PLE onset. The specific loss of heparan sulfate (HS) from the basolateral surface of intestinal epithelial cells only during...
