Myopathy Associated With Dermatan Sulfate-Deficient Decorin and Myostatin in Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Mouse Model Investigation

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
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 Protein is Down-regulated in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Tissue 
and Significantly Associated with Histological Type

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2011
Background and objective Decorin is a protein component of the extracellular matrix. It has been proven that decorin plaid an important role in matrix assembly. The protein is also capable of suppressing tumor cell growth.

Decorin knockdown affects the gene expression profile of adhesion, growth and extracellular matrix metabolism in C-28/I2 chondrocytes.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Decorin is a member of small leucine-rich proteoglycan family, which is involved in multiple biological functions mainly as a structural and signaling molecule, and disturbances in its own metabolism plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ...

The effect of topical decorin on temporal changes to corneal immune cells after epithelial abrasion

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background Corneal immune cells interact with corneal sensory nerves during both homeostasis and inflammation. This study sought to evaluate temporal changes to corneal immune cell density in a mouse model of epithelial abrasion and nerve injury, and to ...

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

The neuroregenerative effects of topical decorin on the injured mouse cornea

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background The cornea is innervated with a rich supply of sensory nerves that play important roles in ocular surface health. Any injury or pathology of the corneal nerves increases the risk of dry eye disease and infection.
