Tumour necrosis factor‐α interacts with biglycan and decorin [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2002
Several interactions of cytokines with extracellular matrix molecules are mediated by proteoglycans, such as biglycan and decorin. Using surface plasmon resonance, we show for the first time that tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) binds to both biglycan and decorin with K ds of 0.81 μM and 1.23 μM respectively, a binding that was confirmed by Scatchard ...

Biglycan and atherosclerosis: Lessons from high cardiovascular risk conditions [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2020
Atherosclerosis (ATH) is a chronic, dynamic, evolutive process involving morphological and structural subversion of artery walls, leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. ATH generally initiates during the childhood, occurring as a result of a number of changes in the intima tunica and in the media of arteries.

Prevention of TGFβ induction attenuates angII-stimulated vascular biglycan and atherosclerosis in Ldlr−/− mice1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Angiotensin II (angII) accelerates atherosclerosis, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine whether TGFβ is required for angII-induced atherosclerosis.

Biglycan : a multivalent proteoglycan providing structure and signals [PDF]

, 2013
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.

Chronic tendon pathology: molecular basis and therapeutic implications [PDF]

, 2005
Tendons are frequently affected by chronic pain or rupture. Many causative factors have been implicated in the pathology, which until relatively recently was under-researched and poorly understood.

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

Effects of Thyroxine Exposure on Osteogenesis in Mouse Calvarial Pre-Osteoblasts [PDF]

, 2013
The incidence of craniosynostosis is one in every 1,800-2500 births. The gene-environment model proposes that if a genetic predisposition is coupled with environmental exposures, the effects can be multiplicative resulting in severely abnormal phenotypes.

Different Usage of the Glycosaminoglycan Attachment Sites of Biglycan [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Biglycan is a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family. Its core protein comprises two chondroitin/dermatan sulfate attachment sites on serine 42 and serine 47, respectively, which are the fifth and tenth amino acid residues, respectively, after removal of the prepro peptide. Because the regulation of glycosaminoglycan chain assembly is not

GLIS2 Promotes Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Gastric Cancer Progression by Regulating BGN to Activate the Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study elucidates the mechanism by which GLIS Family Zinc Finger 2 (GLIS2) promotes epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric cancer through biglycan (BGN) activation and Wnt/β‐catenin stimulation. By analyzing 18 pairs of GC tissues and establishing in vitro models (combining GLIS2 knockdown/BGN overexpression with Wnt pathway ...
