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 and biglycan, in affecting tumor growth and progression. In their soluble forms, decorin and biglycan

Biological functions of decorin in cancer [PDF]
Chinese Journal of Cancer, 2013 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 ...

Dichotomy of decorin activity on the insulin-like growth factor-I system [PDF]
, 2013 The stromal-specific proteoglycan decorin has emerged in recent years as a critical regulator of tumor initiation and progression. Decorin regulates the biology of various types of cancer by modulating the activity of several receptor tyrosine kinases ...

Solar ultraviolet irradiation induces decorin degradation in human skin likely via neutrophil elastase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Exposure of human skin to solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) activity, which degrades type I collagen fibrils. Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in skin and constitutes the majority of skin connective
