Chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) hybrid chains of proteoglycans are critical in growth factor binding, neuritogenesis, and brain development. Here we isolated CS/DS hybrid chains from shark skin aiming to develop therapeutic agents. Digestion with various chondroitinases showed that both G1cUA- and IdoUA-containing disaccharides are scattered along the polysaccharide chains with an unusually large average molecular mass of 70 kDa. The CS/DS chains were separated into major (80%) and minor (20% fractions by anion-exchange chromatography. Both fractions had relatively low degrees of sulfation (sulfate/disaccharide molar ratio = 1.17 versus 0.87), showing a unique feature compared with the marine CS and DS isolated to date, most of which are oversulfated. They were highly heterogeneous and characterized by multiple disaccharides including G1cUA-Ga1NAc, G1cUA-Ga1NAc(6S), GlcUA-Ga1NAc(4S), IdoUA-Ga1NAc(4S), G1cUA-Ga1NAc(4S,6S), IdoUA-Ga1NAc(4S,6S), G1cUA(2S)-Ga1NAc(6S), and/or IdoUA(2S)-Ga1NAc(6S), IdoUA(2S)-Ga1NAc(4S) and novel GlcUA(2S)-Ga1NAc(4S), where 2S, 4S, and 6S represent 2-O-, 4-O- and 6-O-sulfate, respectively. The CS/DS chains bound two neurotrophic factors and various growth factors expressed in the brain with high affinity as evaluated for the major fraction by kinetic analysis using a surface plasmon resonance detector, and also promoted the outgrowth of neurites of both an axonic and a dendritic nature. The neuritogenic activity was abolished completely by digestion with chondroitinase ABC, AC-I, or B, suggesting the importance of both G1cUA- and IdoUA-containing moieties. It also showed anti-heparin cofactor II activity comparable to that exhibited by DS from porcine skin. Thus, by virtue of its unique structure and biological activities, DS will find a potential use in therapeutics.
