Transforming growth factor-b regulation of proteoglycan synthesis in vascular smooth muscle: Contribution to lipid binding and accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetes [PDF]

, 2010
Atherosclerosis is accelerated in the setting of diabetes, but the factors driving this phenomenon remain elusive. Hyperglycemia leads to elevated levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-b and TGF-b has been implicated as a factor in atherosclerosis ...

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.

Biglycan modulates angiogenesis and bone formation during fracture healing

Matrix Biology, 2014
Matrix proteoglycans such as biglycan (Bgn) dominate skeletal tissue and yet its exact role in regulating bone function is still unclear. In this paper we describe the potential role of (Bgn) in the fracture healing process. We hypothesized that Bgn could regulate fracture healing because of previous work showing that it can affect normal bone ...

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 ...
