Oncosuppressive functions of decorin [PDF]
The extracellular matrix is rapidly emerging as a prominent contributor to various fundamental processes of tumorigenesis. In particular, decorin, a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, is assuming a central role as a potent soluble

Human Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma and Decorin [PDF]
Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare subtype of invasive breast cancer and has poor prognosis. In general, cancers are heterogeneous cellular masses comprised of different cell types and their extracellular matrix (ECM).

Decorin A Guardian from the Matrix
Decorin, an archetypal member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, has a broad binding repertoire that encompasses matrix structural components, such as collagens, and growth factors, particularly those that belong to the transforming ...

Role of Decorin in the Lens and Ocular Diseases
Decorin is an archetypal member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family and is involved in various biological functions and many signaling networks, interacting with extra-cellular matrix (ECM) components, growth factors, and receptor tyrosine

Increased expression of decorin in experimental hydronephrosis
Increased expression of decorin in experimental hydronephrosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-βl is a potential mediator of tubulo-interstitial (TI) fibrosis in the rat unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model.

Pivotal role for decorin in angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vessels, is a highly complex process. It is regulated in a finely-tuned manner by numerous molecules including not only soluble growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor ...

An antimetastatic role for decorin in breast cancer [PDF]
Decorin, a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, down-regulates members of the ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family and attenuates their signaling, leading to growth inhibition. We investigated the effects of decorin on the growth of

1. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of rat skeletal muscle contains several proteoglycans (PGs). The more abundant correspond to a chondroitin/dermatan sulfate PG or decorin.2. Decorin isolated from rat skeletal muscle ECM has a smaller molecular size than

The Role of Decorin Proteoglycan in Mitophagy [PDF]
Proteoglycans are emerging as critical regulators of intracellular catabolism. This rise in prominence has transformed our basic understanding and alerted us to the existence of non-canonical pathways, independent of nutrient deprivation, that potently control the autophagy downstream of a cell surface receptor.
