We examined whether chondroitin sulfates (CSs) exert inhibitory effects on heparanase (Hpse), the sole endoglycosidase that cleaves heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin, which also stimulates chemokine production. Hpse-mediated degradation of HS was suppressed in the presence of glycosaminoglycans derived from
