<p>Large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, such as versican, were first identified in hyaline cartilage, where they specifically interact with hyaluronan and form large supramolecular complexes. Together with other matrix glycoproteins, they provide mechanical support and a fixed negative charge.

Direct sequencing of a shortened RNA fragment showed loss of the first 39 bp of exon 8, predicted to cause in-frame deletion of 13 amino acid residues from the beginning of the GAG-beta domain of mature versican.

<strong>Description</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, such as versican, were first identified in hyaline cartilage, where they specifically interact with hyaluronan and form large supramolecular complexes. Together with other matrix glycoproteins, they provide mechanical support and a fixed negative charge. Such molecules exist also in a variety of soft tissues where they may play additional physiologic roles (Kjellen and Lindahl, 1991). </p><p>The versican gene encodes 4 extracellular matrix (ECM) isoforms that differ in the presence or length of a central glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding region. These proteins regulate cell adhesion, differentiation, and survival, in addition to cell proliferation and migration and ECM assembly (review by Wight (2002)). </p>

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Zimmermann and Ruoslahti (1989) cloned and sequenced the cDNA of the core protein of fibroblast chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. They designated it versican in recognition of its versatile modular structure. Decorin (125255) and biglycan (301870) are 2 other soft tissue proteoglycans. The deduced 2,409-amino acid versican protein has a 20-residue N-terminal signal sequence, followed by a potential hyaluronic acid-binding domain and a long central region with several putative glycosaminoglycan (GAG) attachment sites. Near the C terminus, versican has 2 EGF (131530)-like repeats, a lectin (see 606782)-like sequence, and a complement regulatory protein (see CFHR1, 134371)-like domain. </p><p>Naso et al. (1995) reported that the mouse versican protein is 89% identical to human versican and is highly expressed in mouse embryos at days 13, 14, and 18. </p><p>By screening a U251G human glioma cell line cDNA library, followed by assembling overlapping genomic and cDNA clones, Dours-Zimmermann and Zimmermann (1994) obtained full-length versican. The deduced 3,396-amino acid protein, which they called isoform V0, has a calculated molecular mass of 370 kD in the absence of the N-terminal signal peptide. It has 23 potential N-glycosylation sites, 39 potential O-glycosylation sites, and 17 to 23 putative sites for GAG modification. RT-PCR analysis of 6 human tissues, 2 cell lines, primary human skin fibroblasts, and keratinocytes suggested variable expression of 2 additional versican splice variants, V1 and V2, that differ in the length of the GAG attachment portion of the protein. Versican V1 and V2 include either the GAG-alpha or the GAG-beta domain, which provide attachment sites for about 5 to 8 or 12 to 15 GAG chains, respectively. In the V0 variant, both GAG-alpha and GAG-beta are present. </p><p>Zako et al. (1995) demonstrated the existence of another splice variant, designated V3, which lacks a chondroitin sulfate attachment region, the most distinctive portion of a proteoglycan molecule. </p><p>Bode-Lesniewska et al. (1996) studied the distribution of versican by using affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies that recognize the core protein of the prominent versican splice variants V0 and V1. Versican was present in the loose connective tissues of various organs and was often associated with the elastic fiber network. It was localized in most smooth muscle tissues and in fibrous and elastic cartilage. Versican staining was noted in the central and peripheral nervous system, in the basal layer of the epidermis, and on the luminal surface of some glandular epithelia. In blood vessels, versican was present in all 3 wall layers of veins and elastic arteries. In muscular arteries the immunoreactivity was normally restricted to the tunica adventitia. However, it appeared in the media and the split elastica interna of atherosclerotically transformed vessel walls. </p>

<strong>Gene Structure</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Naso et al. (1994) showed that the human versican gene contains 15 exons spanning more than 90 kb. One of these, exon 7, is used in an alternative splice variant. The authors sequenced the 5-prime promoter-containing region of the gene and found that it contained numerous binding sites for transactivators such as AP2 (107580) and Sp1 (189906). They used transient transfection studies to show that the promoter functioned well in both mesenchymal and epithelial cells. The authors used deletion studies to show that this 5-prime region (to approximately -630) contains both strong enhancer and strong negative regulatory elements. </p>

<strong>Mapping</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>The distinctness of CSPG1 (AGC1; 155760) and CSPG2 was uncertain until both genes had been mapped. Whereas CSPG1 is located on chromosome 15, Iozzo et al. (1992) demonstrated that the CSPG2 gene is located on chromosome 5. They used a combination of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids including a panel of hybrids containing partial deletions of chromosome 5 and narrowed the assignment to 5q12-q14, with the precise site likely to be 5q13.2, by in situ hybridization. </p><p>Using interspecific backcross analysis, Naso et al. (1995) assigned the Cspg2 gene to mouse chromosome 13 in a region that is syntenic with 5q. </p>

<strong>Gene Function</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Hirose et al. (2001) stated that versican derived from the human ACHN renal adenocarcinoma cell line interacts via its chondroitin sulfate side chains with the leukocyte adhesion molecules L-selectin (SELL; 153240) and CD44 (107269). Using a panel of 18 different cytokines, they found that human versican also bound a specific set of cytokines that attract mononuclear leukocytes, including SLC (CCL21; 602737) and MCP1 (CCL2; 158105). Versican downregulated SLC-induced integrin alpha-4 (ITGA4; 192975)-beta-7 (ITGB7; 147559)-mediated adhesion in mouse T cells. Versican also downregulated intracellular calcium mobilization elicited by SLC and SDF1-beta (CXCL12; 600835) in mouse B and human T cells. Chondroitinase treatment or flooding with soluble chondroitin sulfate abrogated cytokine binding and cellular responses, suggesting that the GAG side chains of versican are required to bind cytokines. Hirose et al. (2001) concluded that versican is a negative regulator of chemokine function. </p><p>To determine whether TP53 (191170) gene dosage affects transcriptional regulation of target genes, Yoon et al. (2002) performed oligonucleotide array gene expression analysis by using human cells with wildtype p53 or with 1 or both TP53 alleles disrupted by homologous recombination. They identified 35 genes, including CSPG2, whose expression was significantly correlated to the dosage of TP53. Motif search analysis revealed that CSPG2 contains a p53 consensus binding site in its first intron. In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that CSPG2 is directly transactivated by p53. </p><p>Dutt et al. (2006) showed that a mixture of copurified human versican V0 and V1, or calf aorta versican V1 alone, inhibited migration of early rat neural crest stem cells (eNCSCs) on a substrate coated with human fibronectin (FN1; 135600). When explants were cultured on alternating stripes of fibronectin and fibronectin plus versican, eNCSCs migrated only along versican-free surfaces. Contact with versican substrates did not influence eNCSC differentiation. In contrast, mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed no substrate preference. Removal of the GAG moiety from versican V0/V1 did not alter eNCSC substrate preference, suggesting that the versican antimigratory capacity resided in its core glycoprotein. Versican appeared to interfere with the eNCSC adhesion to the fibronectin-coated substrate. </p><p>Alternative splicing of MAGP1 (MFAP2; 156790) produces an extracellular protein (MAGP1A), which associates with microfibrils, and an intracellular protein (MAGP1B). Using expression arrays and RT-PCR analysis, Segade et al. (2007) found that stable expression of MAGP1B in human SAOS-2 osteosarcoma cells caused significant upregulation of all 4 versican splice variants. </p><p>To understand how cancer cells infect the inflammatory microenvironment, Kim et al. (2009) conducted a biochemical screen for macrophage-activating factors secreted by metastatic carcinomas. They demonstrated that, among the cell lines screened, Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) were the most potent macrophage activators leading to production of interleukin-6 (IL6; 147620) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFA; 191160) through activation of the Toll-like receptor family members TLR2 (603028) and TLR6 (605403). Both TNF-alpha and TLR2 were found to be required for LLC metastasis. Biochemical purification of LLC-conditioned medium led to identification of the extracellular matrix proteoglycan versican, which is upregulated in many human tumors including lung cancer, as a macrophage activator that acts through TLR2 and its coreceptors TLR6 and CD14 (158120). By activating TLR2:TLR6 complexes and inducing TNF-alpha secretion by myeloid cells, versican strongly enhances LLC metastatic growth. Kim et al. (2009) concluded that their results explained how advanced cancer cells usurp components of the host innate immune system, including bone marrow-derived myeloid progenitors, to generate an inflammatory microenvironment hospitable for metastatic growth. </p>

<p>Wagner vitreoretinopathy (WGVRP; 143200) is an autosomal dominant vitreoretinopathy. Miyamoto et al. (2005) demonstrated a heterozygous A-to-G transition at the second base of the 3-prime acceptor splice site of intron 7 of the CSPG2 gene that cosegregated with the disease in a Japanese family (118661.0001). </p><p>In the large 5-generation Swiss family with vitreoretinopathy originally described by Wagner (1938), Kloeckener-Gruissem et al. (2006) identified a heterozygous splice site mutation in intron 8 of the VCAN gene (118661.0002) that segregated fully with disease. </p><p>In affected members of 7 Dutch families with vitreoretinopathy, Mukhopadhyay et al. (2006) identified heterozygosity for 3 splice site mutations in intron 7 of the VCAN gene (118661.0003-118661.0005). Quantitative PCR using RNA from patient blood samples revealed a highly significant (p less than 0.0001) and consistent increase in the V2 and V3 splice variants (more than 38-fold and more than 12-fold, respectively) in all patients with intron 7 nucleotide changes, as well as in a Chinese family with vitreoretinopathy in which a causal variant was not identified. Mukhopadhyay et al. (2006) suggested that Wagner vitreoretinopathy is caused by an imbalance of versican isoforms, mediated by intronic variants. </p><p>In a 4-generation French family with a severe vitreoretinal disorder mapping to 5q13-q14, Brezin et al. (2011) identified a heterozygous splice site mutation in intron 7 of the VCAN gene (118661.0006) that segregated with disease and was not found 100 French controls. </p><p>In a British family and a French family with Wagner vitreoretinopathy, Kloeckener-Gruissem et al. (2013) sequenced the VCAN gene and identified 2 heterozygous splice site mutations, in intron 8 and intron 7 of the VCAN gene, respectively, that segregated with disease in each family (118661.0007 and 118661.0008). The levels of splice variants V2 and V3 were significantly increased in all patient fibroblast and blood samples from these families as well as samples from the Swiss family with vitreoretinopathy originally described by Wagner (1938), although the magnitude of the increase varied between tissues and mutations. There were no statistically significant differences in V0 and V1 levels in fibroblasts or blood between patients and controls. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
