Proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy has been correlated with reduction in heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) content of the glomerular basement membrane. We have previously shown that the underlying mechanism probably involves reduction in the synthesis by glomerular epithelial cells. In this study
## Abstract The relationship of a basement membrane collagen degrading enzyme (BM collagenase) and plasminogen activator (PA) was studied in a number of non‐malignant and malignant human and murine cell lines. Several non‐malignant cell lines secreted significant amounts of PA but no detectable BM
