astrocyte treatment with ethanol inhibits the activity of arylsulfatase B, and triggers the degradation of chondroitin-4-sulfate, increases total sulfated glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin-4-sulfate and neurocan core-protein content and inhibits neurite outgrowth in neurons cocultured with ethanol-treated astrocytes in vitro. Ethanol also inhibits arylsulfatase B activity and increases sulfated glycosaminoglycans and neurocan levels in the developing hippocampus after in vivo ethanol exposure
in post-natal ventral rat prostate, a distinct and reciprocal localization of arylsulfatase B and N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase is seen, with arylsulfatase B predominant in the stroma and N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase predominant in the epithelium. Control arylsulfatase B activity increases significantly between days 5 and 30, but following estrogen exposure, activity is reduced and the observed increase on day 30 is inhibited
silencing or overexpression of ASB in normal rat kidney epithelial cells in tissue culture modifies the content of total sulfated glycosaminoglycans, C4S, kininogen, and bradykinin in spent media and cell lysates. Treatment of the cultured cells with chondroitinase ABC also increases the secretion of bradykinin into the spent media and reduces the C4S-associated kininogen. When ASB is overexpressed, the cellular kininogen that associates with C4S declines, suggesting a vital role for chondroitin-4-sulfation in regulating the kininogen-C4S interaction

arylsulfatase B regulates interaction of chondroitin-4-sulfate and kininogen in renal epithelial cells. ASB activity may provide a link between salt responsiveness and the bradykinin-associated mechanism of blood pressure regulation
ASB silencing or overexpression, silencing leads to reduced ASB activity, which than leads to increased chondroitin-4-sulfation, increased binding of kininogen, and reduced bradykinin release
in the renal tissue of Dahl salt-sensitive rats exposed to high salt diet, arylsulfatase B activity is significantly less than in Dahl salt-sensitive rats exposed to low salt diet, and chondroitin-4-sulfate and total sulfated glycosaminoglycan content are significantly greater. A marked increase in chondroitin-4-sulfate disaccharidesis observed in the renal tissue of the rats exposed to high salt diet. Unsulfated, hyaluronan-derived disaccharides are increased in the rats on the low salt diet. In the rats on high salt diet, with lower arylsulfatase B activity and higher chondroitin-4-sulfate levels, cell-bound, high-molecular weight kininogen is greater and urinary bradykinin is lower. Arylsulfatase B activity in renal tissue and normal rat kidney cells declines when exogenous chloride concentration is increased in vitro
