Versican is induced in infiltrating monocytes in myocardial infarction [PDF]

, 2005
Versican, a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, plays a role in conditions such as wound healing and tissue remodelling. To test the hypothesis that versican expression is transiently upregulated and plays a role in the infarcted heart, we examined ...

Polymorphism of BGN gene (g.77807325 G>C) and its association with fatty acid and carcass characteristics of Indonesian meat lamb

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture
Fatty acid content and carcass characteristics are two meat quality traits consumers choose to ob tain healthy and high-quality lamb. Genetic improvement of fatty acid content and carcass characteris tics in sheep is important to increase the public ...

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.

Deficiency in Perlecan/HSPG2 During Bone Development Enhances Osteogenesis and Decreases Quality of Adult Bone in Mice [PDF]

, 2014
Perlecan/HSPG2 (Pln) is a large heparan sulfate proteoglycan abundant in the extracellular matrix of cartilage and the lacunocanalicular space of adult bones.

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 ...

Arterial smooth muscle cell proteoglycans synthesized in the presence of glucosamine demonstrate reduced binding to LDL1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Retention of atherogenic lipoproteins by vascular proteoglycans is thought to play a key role in the development of atherosclerotic ...

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 ...
