Developmental regulation of biglycan expression in muscle and tendon
Muscle and Nerve, 2006AbstractBiglycan is an extracellular ligand for the dystrophin‐associated protein complex (DAPC) that is upregulated in both dystrophic and regenerating muscle. Biglycan also binds to collagen VI, mutations of which cause a congenital muscular dystrophy (Ullrich's; UCMD) that is also characterized by connective tissue abnormalities.

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2004 Biglycan is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan which is localized in the extracellular matrix of bone and other specialized connective tissues. Both biglycan mRNA and protein are up-regulated by transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) and ...

Biglycan protects cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury: Role of nitric oxide
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2010 Biglycan, a proteoglycan component of extracellular matrix, has been suspected to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, but overexpression of biglycan in transgenic mice has been shown to induce cardioprotective genes including nitric oxide ...

The Role of Biglycan in the Heart
Connective Tissue Research, 2008Biglycan, a member of the small leucine rich proteoglycan family, is known to be expressed in almost every tissue of our body. Although there are increasing amount of data on the biological role of biglycan, its cardiac function is still not totally clarified.

Hyperelongated biglycan: the surreptitious initiator of atherosclerosis
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2008To outline a role for the dermatan sulfate proteoglycan biglycan and specifically its growth factor modified form having elongated glycosaminoglycan chains as being a primary initiator of atherosclerosis.Antiatherosclerotic therapies have mostly targeted epidemiologically identified, experimentally confirmed risk factors. The efficacy of such therapies

Regulation, Regulatory Activities, and Function of Biglycan
Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 2004Biglycan is a member of the small leucine repeat proteoglycan family (SLRP). The biglycan gene is located on the X chromosome. Based on the amino acid sequence, the protein core of biglycan can be divided into six distinct domains: (1) a signal sequence, (2) a propeptide region, (3) a N-terminal glycosaminoglycan attachment region, (4) a cysteine loop,

Hematopoietic Activity Associated with Biglycan-like Proteoglycan
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1993One of the monocytic cell colony stimulating factors produced by thymic myoid cells, a 100 kDa factor, was purified by reversed phase HPLC and found to be homologous to the secreted form of proteoglycan 1 (biglycan) core protein. This biglycan associated colony stimulating factor did not carry an immunological motif of macrophage colony stimulating ...

Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulators of biglycan in cardiac fibroblasts
Basic Research in Cardiology, 2009Biglycan, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan, is essential for scar formation and preservation of hemodynamic function after myocardial infarction, as shown in biglycan-knockout mice. Because of this important role in cardiac pathophysiology, we aimed to identify regulators of biglycan expression and posttranslational modifications in cardiac ...

Expression of tenascin, biglycan and decorin in disorders of keratinization
British Journal of Dermatology, 1994The distribution of three (recently discovered) extracellular matrix components (tenascin, biglycan and decorin) was studied in normal adult human skin and in a number of monogenic disorders of keratinization, using immunohistology. The expression of tenascin, which is sparsely distributed in normal human dermis, was found to be grossly increased in ...
