Abstract

Heparanase, an endo-β-D-glucuronidase, cleaves cell surface and extracellular matrix heparan sulfate (HS) chains at distinct sites and plays important biological roles including modulation of cell growth and metastasis. Although a number of different types of heparanase assays have been reported to date, most are labor intensive, complex and/or expensive to carry out. We reasoned that a simpler heparanase assay could be developed using heparin labeled with Dabcyl and EDANS as donor and acceptor fluorophores so as to generate a FRET signal. Our results show that a more robust heparanase assay could be developed based on the principle studied herein and more homogeneous preparation of heparin. Yet, the assay in its current form could be used for routine screening of potential inhibitors in a high-throughput manner as well as for studying heparanase activity expressed in tumors as well as biological fluids like plasma.

Background

Human heparanase is an endo-β-D-glucuronidase that cleaves heparan sulfate (HS) chains present in proteoglycan form on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix (Fairbanks et al., 1999; Kussie et al., 1999; Toyoshima and Nakajima, 1999; Dempsey et al., 2000; Sanderson et al., 2017). Although other sequences are also likely to be targeted by heparanase (Peterson and Liu, 2013), substrate specificity studies indicate that heparanase preferably cleaves the 1→4-inter-glycosidic bond between a glucuronic acid (GlcA) and glucosamine-N,6-disulfate (GlcNS6S) residues.

The importance of heparanase as a therapeutic target has led to the development of several biochemical and biophysical assays over the past 2 decades. Despite the availability of numerous assays, no particular assay appears to have been broadly used to understand heparanase biology, pharmacology, and drug discovery. The reported assays typically suffer from the involvement of multiple steps and incubation up to 24 h (Freeman and Parish, 1997; Behzad and Brenchley, 2003; Tsuchida et al., 2004; Enomoto et al., 2006; Hammond et al., 2010; Schiemann et al., 2012; Melo et al., 2015). An easier, one-step assay would greatly help deduce inhibitors, understand substrate specificity, elucidate the mechanism of action, and clarify enzymatic or non-enzymatic role in cellular systems. A more robust heparanase assay would be easier to implement (fewer steps, faster screening time, no immobilization, no post-assay signal development), which is adaptable to microplate format, enable assaying active heparanase in cellular media, and perhaps help monitor heparanase in vivo. We hypothesized fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based assay may offer a one-step solution that can address several attributes. This documents, method of developing a FRET-based assay for active heparanase. Based on our work, FRET-enabled heparin chain could effectively serve as a substrate of heparanase, help detect an active enzyme in media, and to screen potential inhibitors.
