This data was produced using the same clone but in a different buffer formulation, ab3778.

No staining in negative control tissue (human normal liver).

Staining performed on a Leica BOND RXTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using enzymatic retrieval, for 15mins. The section was then incubated with ab3778, 0.05μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

ab3778 was shown to react with recombinant human Aggrecan protein in western blot.

Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab3778 at 1μg/ml overnight at 4°C. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye®800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) at a 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at RT.

Supplementary information

Aggrecan also known as aggrecan core protein or chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 1 is a large proteoglycan vital for cartilage structure and function. It has a mass of approximately 250 kDa. Aggrecan is expressed mostly in cartilage regions such as articular cartilage but it might also be found in other connective tissues. The structure of aggrecan consists of a core protein that attaches to glycosaminoglycan chains allowing it to create hydrated gel structures essential for the resilience and load-bearing properties of cartilage.
Biological function summary

Aggrecan plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity of cartilage by providing resistance to compression. This proteoglycan is a central component of the extracellular matrix forming large aggregates with hyaluronic acid and link proteins. These aggregates contribute to the cartilage's osmotic properties helping resist compression during joint movement. Aggrecan's structural properties make it necessary for normal joint function and health.

Pathways

Aggrecan interacts within the cartilage development and maintenance frameworks. Specifically it participates in the regulation of the ECM-receptor interaction pathway and the proteoglycans in cancer pathway. Aggrecan functions alongside proteins such as type II collagen to ensure biomechanical properties of the cartilage. Additionally its enzymatic breakdown by aggrecanases like ADAMTS can impact these pathways leading to various physiological effects.

Aggrecan is closely associated with osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc degeneration. In osteoarthritis the loss of aggrecan through enzymatic degradation leads to reduced joint function and increased pain. The breakdown involves aggrecanases and other matrix metalloproteinases resulting in cartilage degradation. Diseases such as intervertebral disc degeneration also link to the reduced presence or altered structure of aggrecan impacting spine health and mobility.

Target data

This proteoglycan is a major component of extracellular matrix of cartilagenous tissues. A major function of this protein is to resist compression in cartilage. It binds avidly to hyaluronic acid via an N-terminal globular region.
