Abstract
Heparan sulfate 3-O-sulfotransferases generate highly sulfated but rare 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate (HS) epitopes on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix. Previous ex vivo experiments suggested functional redundancy exists among the family of seven enzymes but that Hs3st3a1 and Hs3st3b1 sulfated HS increases epithelial FGFR signaling and morphogenesis. Single-cell RNAseq analysis of control SMGs identifies increased expression of Hs3st3a1 and Hs3st3b1 in endbud and myoepithelial cells, both of which are progenitor cells during development and regeneration. To analyze their in vivo functions, we generated both Hs3st3a1−/- and Hs3st3b1−/- single knockout mice, which are viable and fertile. Salivary glands from both mice have impaired fetal epithelial morphogenesis when cultured with FGF10. Hs3st3b1−/- mice have reduced intact SMG branching morphogenesis and reduced 3-O-sulfated HS in the basement membrane. Analysis of HS biosynthetic enzyme transcription highlighted some compensatory changes in sulfotransferases expression early in development. The overall glycosaminoglycan composition of adult control and KO mice were similar, although HS disaccharide analysis showed increased N- and non-sulfated disaccharides in Hs3st3a1−/− HS. Analysis of adult KO gland function revealed normal secretory innervation, but without stimulation there was an increase in frequency of drinking behavior in both KO mice, suggesting basal salivary hypofunction, possibly due to myoepithelial dysfunction. Understanding how 3-O-sulfation regulates myoepithelial progenitor function will be important to manipulate HS-binding growth factors to enhance tissue function and regeneration.
