Figure 3. Disaccharide analysis of synthesized GAGs.

Figure 3

Media were harvested after 24 hours of culture (A) without or (B) with C-Xyloside (1 mM) stimulation. GAG in culture media were digested with chondroitinase ABC and the disaccharides were resolved by anion-exhange HPLC with post-column derivitization and fluorescence detection (see materials and methods.) Values are expressed as molar percentage. Data are representative of three individual experiments. (C), the disaccharides were resolved by Glycan reductive isotope labeling/mass spectrometry (n = 2). Data are presented as mean ± range. D0a0, ΔUA-GalNAc; D0a4, ΔUA-GalNAc4S; D2a0, ΔUA2S-GalNAc; D0a6, ΔUA-GalNAc6S; D2a4, ΔUA2S-GalNAc4S; D2a6, ΔUA2S-GalNAc6S; D0a10, ΔUA-GalNAc4S6S; D2a10, ΔUA2S-GalNAc4S6S. ΔUA = 4, 5-unsaturated uronic acid.
