We successfully synthesized the biotinylated keratan sulfate tetrasaccharide, Galβ1-4GlcNAc6Sβ1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc6Sβ in a stereocontrolled manner. The suitably protected Galβ1-4GlcNPhth unit was converted to the corresponding donor and acceptor. Optimization in 2 + 2 coupling using AgOTf, CuBr, and n-BuNBr in CHNO at a low temperature afforded the desired tetrasaccharide that suppressed glycal formation. The subsequent chemoselective removal of the protecting group at O-6 of two GlcNAcs, sulfation, and deprotection procedures as well as biotinylation gave the target compound.

Recently, we established a mouse monoclonal antibody specific to hiPS/ hES cells, R-10G, which recognizes a type of keratan sulfate. Keratan sulfates (KS) comprise a family of glycosaminoglycans consisting of the repeating unit of [Gal-GlcNAc(6S)]. However, there is a diversity in the degree of sulfation at Gal and GlcNAc residues, and also in the mode of linkage, Galβ1 - 3GlcNAc (type 1) or Galβ1 - 4GlcNAc (type 2).

We synthesized four types of keratan and keratan sulfate repeating disaccharides containing non-sulfate, Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ, and three types of sulfates, Gal6Sβ1-4GlcNAcβ, Galβ1-4GlcNAc6Sβ, and Gal6Sβ1-4GlcNAc6Sβ in an efficient and stereo-controlled manner. These disaccharides were conjugated with biotin via a hydrophilic linker at the reducing terminal.

In the plasma kallikrein-kinin system, it has been shown that when plasma prekallikrein (PK) and high molecular weight kininogen (HK) assemble on endothelial cells, plasma kallikrein (huPK) becomes available to cleave HK, releasing bradykinin, a potent mediator of the inflammatory response. Because the formation of soluble glycosaminoglycans occurs concomitantly during the inflammatory processes, the effect of these polysaccharides on the interaction of HK on the cell surface or extracellular matrix (ECM) of two endothelial cell lines (ECV304 and RAEC) was investigated. In the presence of Zn(+2), HK binding to the surface or ECM of RAEC was abolished by heparin; reduced by heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, chondroitin 4-sulfate or dermatan sulfate; and not affected by chondroitin 6-sulfate.
