Differential roles for small leucine-rich proteoglycans in bone formation

European Cells & Materials, 2003
This paper reviews our current state of knowledge of the roles the small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) play in the formation of connective tissue and mineralised tissue matrices.

Biglycan, a nitric oxide-regulated gene, affects adhesion, growth, and survival of mesangial cells

, 2021
During glomerular inflammation mesangial cells are the major source and target of nitric oxide that pro-foundly influences proliferation, adhesion, and death of mesangial cells.

Angiotensin II increases vascular proteoglycan content preceding and contributing to atherosclerosis development1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Angiotensin II (angII) is known to promote atherosclerosis; however, the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. To determine whether angII stimulates proteoglycan production and LDL retention, LDL receptor-deficient mice were infused with angII (1,

Decorin and biglycan expression: its relation with endothelial heterogeneity.

Histology and histopathology, 2011
Decorin and biglycan proteoglycans play important roles in the organization of the extracellular matrix, and in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration. Given morphological and functional endothelial heterogeneity, information is needed regarding whether endothelial cells (ECs) from different vascular beds possess different profiles of ...

Investigation of Inflammation and Autophagy due to Biglycan-mediated TLR2/4 Signaling in Oral Lichen Planus Tissues [PDF]

Forbes Tıp Dergisi
Objective: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic oral mucosal disease of unknown etiology. Cellular immune response, basement membrane, and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules are also noteworthy in the pathogenesis.

Biglycan-mediated upregulation of MHC class I expression in HER-2/neu-transformed cells

OncoImmunology, 2018
The extracellular matrix protein biglycan (BGN) has oncogenic or tumor suppressive potential depending on the cellular origin. HER-2/neu overexpression in murine fibroblasts and human model systems is inversely correlated with BGN expression.

Identification of New, Translatable ProtectomiRs against Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Oxidative Stress: The Role of MMP/Biglycan Signaling Pathways

Antioxidants
Introduction: Ischemic conditionings (ICon) were intensively investigated and several protective signaling pathways were identified. Previously, we have shown the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI ...
