## Abstract Muscular dystrophies are characterized by continuous cycles of degeneration and regeneration that result in extensive fibrosis and a progressive diminution of muscle mass. Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are found almost ubiquitously on the surface and in the extracellular ma

Heparin stimulates 2-3-fold, in a concentration-dependent manner, the synthesis of heparan sulfate secreted by cultured endothelial cells. The increase in synthetic rate takes place immediately after exposure of the cells to heparin, affects only heparan sulfate, and i s specific for the endothelial
Binding of growth factors to specific cell surface receptors is the first step in initiating cell signaling cascades that ultimately result in diverse activities such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Dimerization and phosphorylation of tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptors is the
Fetal calf serum (FCS) and PMA (phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate) specifically stimulate the synthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycan in endothelial cells. Staurosporine and n-butanol, kinase inhibitors, abolish the PMA effect. Forskolin and 8-bromo adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate, activators o
