Proteoglycan (heparan sulfate-protein conjugate) was solubilized with 8 M urea from rat liver plasma membranes after enzymic (RNAase, neuraminidase) treatments and extensively purified by chromatography and gel filtration. The final products gave an average ratio of hexuronate to protein (weight) of approx. 1.5, contained hexosamine equimolar to hexuronate and were sensitive to beta-elimination (the molecular weight being reduced from 20 . 10(4) to 3 . 10(4) (gel filtration)). The proteoglycan fraction, when added to trypsinized and untrypsinized ascites hepatoma (AH-130F(N)) cells, inhibited the concanavalin A-mediated agglutination of the cells. However, the alkali-treated proteoglycan (beta-elimination) or acid mucopolysaccharide fraction prepared from liver plasma membranes by papain digestion were less effective, and a reference preparation of heparan sulfate was almost ineffective. It was confirmed that significant amounts of proteoglycan labelled with 35SO4(2-) were firmly bound to or taken up by the trypsinized ascites hepatoma cells. These results together with the sensitization of lectin-mediated agglutination by mild protease treatment of cells suggest that cell surface proteoglycans may act as a negative modulator in the lectin-mediated agglutination of cells.
