Detection of Mouse Human Aggrecan G1-IGD-G2 Domains Antibody by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence Olanzapine (Oz) and haloperidol (Hp) modify the density of excitatory and inhibitory synapses to excitatory and inhibitory neurons. (a) The principle of the synapse quantification method is based on the detection of presynaptic and postsynaptic markers. (b) The overlap between presynaptic and postsynaptic fluorescence allows to identify the structurally complete synapses. Neurotransmitter transporter proteins are labeled in red at the presynapse, scaffolding protein is marked green at the postsynapse. (c) Glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses are detected with reference to aggrecan expression in 21 days in vitro (21 DIV) neuronal cultures. The representative 66.5 × 66.5 µm single plane confocal micrographs exemplify the staining patterns of excitatory (colocalization of PSD95 and VGlut1) and inhibitory (colocalization of gephyrin and VGAT) synapses in proximity to inhibitory (aggrecan-positive) and excitatory (aggrecan-negative) neuron somata (See explanation in the text). High-resolution scans were obtained from the regions proximal to neuronal somata. Scale bar, 30 µm. (d) The percent of increase/decrease in synapse density upon treatment with antipsychotics is shown as median (square center), and the inter quartile range (25–75% IQR whiskers). Each data point reflects the quantification of minimum 35 images (66.5 × 66.5 µm area, containing a single cell body of a 21 DIV neuron, exemplified in (c), N = 5. The asterisks indicate significant differences with the corresponding control, based on the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA test (*p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001).

Aggrecan in Human Cartilage. Aggrecan was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human cartilage using Mouse Anti-Human Aggrecan G1-IGD-G2 Domains Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1220) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to chondrocytes. Staining was performed using our protocol for IHC Staining with VisUCyte HRP Polymer Detection Reagents.

Background: Aggrecan

Aggrecan, also known as aggrecan 1, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, and large aggregating proteoglycan, is encoded by the AGC1 gene with gene aliases of SEDK; CSPG1; MSK16; CSPGCP (1). As the key component of the cartilage extracellular matrix, aggrecan hydrates the collagen network and provides cartilage with its properties of compressibility and elasticity. Maintenance of aggrecan content is therefore critical to the function of the tissue and aggrecan degradation is an important factor in the erosion of articular cartilage in arthritic diseases (2). The deduced amino acid sequence of human aggrecan core protein consists of 2415 residues and predicts a signal peptide and domains of G1, IGD, G2, KS, CS-1, CS-2 and G3 (3). Two globular domains, G1 and G2, comprise the N-terminus of the proteoglycan and also contain link domains. The third globular domain, G3, corresponds to the C-terminus. The keratan sulfate (KS) and the chondroitin sulfate (CS) attachment domains are between G2 and G3. With KS and CS attached to the 250 kDa core protein, aggrecan monomers exist as a 1,000 to 2,000 kDa molecule. In addition, aggrecan monomers interact with hyaluronan through their G1 domain, resulting in larger aggregates containing 10 to 100 aggrecan monomers on a hyaluronan backbone (2). Aggrecan can be cleaved by MMPs and ADAMTSs at the Asn360-Phe361 and Glu392-Ala393 bond in the IGD (residues are numbered based on Accession # NP_037359), respectively (2). Inhibition of ADATMS4 and ADAMTS5 cleavage prevents aggrecan degradation in osteoarthritic cartilage, while mice with aggrecan resistant to MMP cleavage do not accumulate aggrean and develop normally (2, 4).
