Remarkable progress has been achieved in understanding the regulation of gene expression and protein translation, and how aberrancies in these template-driven processes contribute to disease pathogenesis. However, much of cellular physiology is controlled by non-DNA, nonprotein mediators, such as glycans. The focus of this Translational Review is to highlight the importance of a specific glycan polymer-the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate (HS)-on lung health and disease. We demonstrate how HS contributes to lung physiology and pathophysiology via its actions as both a structural constituent of the lung parenchyma as well as a regulator of cellular signaling. By highlighting current uncertainties in HS biology, we identify opportunities for future high-impact pulmonary and critical care translational investigations.
