The aim of this study was to investigate whether using immunohistochemistry to detect the angiogenic proteins vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and decorin can help predict the risk of local recurrence of, or death from, canine soft tissue ...

Increased CSF-decorin predicts brain pathological changes driven by Alzheimer’s Aβ amyloidosis
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers play an important role in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) amyloidosis. Here, we used two App knock-in mouse models, App NL-F/NL-F and App NL-G-F/NL-G-F , exhibiting AD-like

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

Decorin deficiency promotes hepatic carcinogenesis
Hepatocellular carcinoma represents one of the most-rapidly spreading cancers in the world. In the majority of cases, an inflammation-driven fibrosis or cirrhosis precedes the development of the tumor. During malignant transformation, the tumor microenvironment undergoes qualitative and quantitative changes that modulate the behavior of the malignant ...

The Role of Decorin in Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases
Decorin is an extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans. As a matrix protein, the first discovered role of decorin is participating in collagen fibril formation. Many other functions of decorin in various

Binding of tenascin‐X to decorin
Tenascin‐X (TN‐X) is an extracellular matrix protein whose absence results in an alteration of the mechanical properties of connective tissue. To understand the mechanisms of integration of TN‐X in the extracellular matrix, overlay blot assays were performed on skin extracts.

Biological functions of decorin in cancer [PDF]
Decorin is a member of the extracellular matrix small leucine-rich proteoglycans family that exists and functions in stromal and epithelial cells. Accumulating evidence suggests that decorin affects the biology of various types of cancer by directly or indirectly targeting the signaling molecules involved in cell growth, survival, metastasis, and ...

Targeted decorin gene therapy delivered with adeno-associated virus effectively retards corneal neovascularization in vivo. [PDF]
Decorin, small leucine-rich proteoglycan, has been shown to modulate angiogenesis in nonocular tissues. This study tested a hypothesis that tissue-selective targeted decorin gene therapy delivered to the rabbit stroma with adeno-associated virus serotype

Carbohydrate sulfotransferase 14 (CHST14) encodes dermatan 4-O-sulfotransferase 1, a critical enzyme for dermatan sulfate (DS) biosynthesis. Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) is associated with biallelic pathogenic variants of CHST14 and

Decorin treatment of spinal cord injury
The scarring response after a penetrant central nervous system injury results from the interaction between invading leptominingeal/pericyte-derived fibroblasts and endogenous reactive astrocytes about the wound margin. Extracellular matrix and scar-derived axon growth inhibitory molecules fill the lesion site providing both a physical and chemical ...
