Proteoglycans (PGs) were dissociatively extracted from human umbilical cord arteries (UCAs) with 4 M guanidine hydrochloride containing Triton X-100 and protease inhibitors, purified by Q-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography and lyophilized. They were analysed by gel filtration, SDS/PAGE and agarose gel electrophoresis before and after treatment with chondroitinase ABC. It was found that the PG preparation was especially enriched in chondroitin/dermatan sulphate PGs. The predominant PG fraction included small PGs that emerged from Sepharose CL-2B with Kav = 0.74. Their molecular mass, estimated by SDS/PAGE, was 160-200 kDa and 90-150 kDa, i.e. it was typical for biglycan and decorin, respectively. Treatment with chondroitinase ABC yielded the core proteins of 45 and 47 kDa, characteristic for both small PGs. Remarkable amounts of the 45 kDa protein were detected in non-treated PG samples, suggesting the presence of free core proteins of biglycan and decorin. Large PGs were present in lower amounts. In intact form they were eluted from Sepharose CL-2B with Kav = 0.17 and 0.43. Digestion with chondroitinase ABC yielded the core proteins with a molecular mass within the range of 180-360 kDa but predominant were the bands of 200, 250 and 360 kDa. The large PGs probably represent various forms of versican or perlecan bearing chondroitin sulphate chains.
