We then tested whether CS-E enhanced haptotaxic migration of glioblastoma U251-MG cells that endogenously express both the CS-E’s scaffold tyrosine phosphatase ζ (PTPζ) and GalNAc4S-6ST, in the presence of CS-E’s preferred ligands, pleiotrophin (PTN) or midkine (MK), using a modified Boyden chamber method. Here, PTN is linked to glioblastoma.
