ABSTRACT The demand for off‐the‐shelf biocompatible bone substitutes has driven the development of numerous independent in vitro technologies to generate products resembling physiological tissues. Due to technical challenges and overly simplified cultivation approaches/niches, the end‐products are often uniformly shaped and inferior to native bone ...

Decorin Modulates Fibrin Assembly and Structure [PDF]
Emerging evidence indicates that fibrin clotting is regulated by different external factors. We demonstrated recently that decorin, a regulator of collagen fibrillogenesis and transforming growth factor-beta activity, binds to the D regions of fibrinogen (Dugan, T.A., Yang, V. W.-C., McQuillan, D.J., and Höök, M. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 13655-13662).

T‐Cell Remodeling in Renal Fibrosis: From Acute Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease
This Review presents renal fibrosis as a sequence of overlapping T‐cell programs, from chemokine‐guided recruitment and metabolic activation to maladaptive polarization, tertiary lymphoid structure formation, tissue residency, exhaustion, and senescence.

Catabolism of aggrecan, decorin and biglycan in tendon [PDF]
We have examined the catabolism of the proteoglycans aggrecan, decorin and biglycan in fresh tendon samples and in explant cultures of tissue from the tensional and compressed regions of young and mature bovine tendons. A panel of well-characterized antibodies that recognize glycosaminoglycan or protein (linear or neoepitope) sequences was used to ...

Decorin promotes robust axon growth on inhibitory CSPGs and myelin via a direct effect on neurons
Inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and myelin-associated molecules are major impediments to axon regeneration within the adult central nervous system (CNS).

Exercise Modulates the Osteoimmune Axis: Myokine‐Mediated Mechanisms in Diabetic Bone Disease
Exercise activates skeletal muscle to release myokines (irisin, acute IL‐6, IL‐15 and BAIBA) and suppress myostatin, which may help counteract T2DM‐induced hyperglycemia, AGE accumulation, chronic inflammation and osteoimmune imbalance, potentially contributing to improved bone quality and reduced fracture risk.

Decorin levels and cardiometabolic function after endurance exercise
IntroductionDecorin is secreted from myotubes in response to exercise and plays a vital role in repairing and regenerate skeletal and cardiac muscle.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major global health challenge, primarily driven by insulin resistance and progressive β‐cell dysfunction aggravated by chronic low‐grade inflammation. Skeletal muscle has emerged as a pivotal endocrine organ through the secretion of myokines, which exert systemic metabolic and immunomodulatory ...

MT1-MMP-Mediated cleavage of decorin in corneal angiogenesis
Background/Aims: Decorin has been shown to have antiangiogenic properties. In this study, we evaluate the involvement of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), a proangiogenic enzyme, in decorin cleavage in the cornea.

Increased expression of decorin in experimental hydronephrosis
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is a potential mediator of tubulointerstitial (TI) fibrosis in the rat unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model. Decorin is a protein composed of a core protein and a chondroitin sulfate side chain and is capable of inactivating TGF-beta.
