The Role of Decorin and Biglycan Signaling in Tumorigenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 The complex and adaptive nature of malignant neoplasm constitute a major challenge for the development of effective anti-oncogenic therapies. Emerging evidence has uncovered the pivotal functions exerted by the small leucine-rich proteoglycans, decorin ...

Distribution of biglycan and decorin in rat dental tissue [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003 Biglycan and decorin are small leucine-rich proteoglycans that play several biological and structural roles in different tissues and organs. Several reports have indicated that biglycan participates in odontoblast and ameloblast differentiation and in ...

Biglycan in the Skeleton [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2020 Small leucine rich proteoglycans (SLRPs), including Biglycan, have key roles in many organ and tissue systems. The goal of this article is to review the function of Biglycan and other related SLRPs in mineralizing tissues of the skeleton. The review is divided into sections that include Biglycan’s role in structural biology, signaling, craniofacial and

The cleavage of biglycan by aggrecanases [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2006 Aggrecanase-1 [a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4] and aggrecanase-2 (ADAMTS-5) have been named for their ability to degrade the proteoglycan aggrecan. While this may be the preferred substrate for these enzymes, they are also able to degrade other proteins.

Decorin knockdown is beneficial for aged tendons in the presence of biglycan expression
Matrix Biology Plus, 2022 Decorin and biglycan are two major small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) present in the tendon extracellular matrix that facilitate collagen fibrillogenesis, tissue turnover, and cell signal transduction.

Uterine dysfunction in biglycan and decorin deficient mice leads to dystocia during parturition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cesarean birth rates are rising. Uterine dysfunction, the exact mechanism of which is unknown, is a common indication for Cesarean delivery. Biglycan and decorin are two small leucine-rich proteoglycans expressed in the extracellular matrix of ...

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2012 Research over the past few years has provided fascinating results indicating that biglycan, besides being a ubiquitous structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), may act as a signaling molecule. Proteolytically released from the ECM, biglycan acts as a danger signal signifying tissue stress or injury.

Interaction of Biglycan with Type I Collagen [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 The small proteoglycan decorin is known to interact with type I collagen fibrils, thereby influencing the kinetics of fibril formation and the distance between adjacent collagen fibrils. The structurally related proteoglycan biglycan has been proposed not to bind to fibrillar collagens.

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2020 The gene expression and protein synthesis of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs), including decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin, and lumican, was analyzed in the context of the hypothesis that they are closely related to tooth formation.
