Characterisation of novel matrix-binding interactions for latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein-2 (LTBP-2), with emphasis on heparin and heparan sulphate proteoglycans. [PDF]
, 2010 Elastic fibres are important components of the extracellular matrices, being composed of an elastin core and fibrillin-microfibrils around the periphery.

P3.11 INCREASED CAROTID PLAQUE OCCURRENCE IN MEN WITH THE FIBRILLIN-1 2–3 GENOTYPE
Artery Research, 2009 Background: Fibrillin-1 is an important constituent of the vascular wall and earlier studies have indicated an effect of the fibrillin-1 2–3 genotype on blood pressure as well as aortic stiffness.

Review of the Molecular and Developmental Basis of Myhre Syndrome, Bench Research
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MS) is a connective‐tissue disorder within the acromelic dysplasia spectrum. It is characterized by congenital craniofacial, skeletal, cutaneous anomalies, respiratory, cardiovascular along with intellectual disability, deafness, and progressive fibrosis.

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 degrades fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 of oxytalan fibers in the human eye and periodontal ligaments in vitro. [PDF]
, 2015 福岡歯科大学博士（歯学）2014年度Oxytalan fibers are distributed in the eye and periodontal ligaments (PDL). The ciliary zonule, known as Zinn's zonule, in the eye is composed of oxytalan fibers, which are bundles of microfibrils consisting mainly of fibrillin-1 and ...

Protective Effects of Rosuvastatin on Kidney in Experimental Hypertension Rats Models
Ahi Evran Medical Journal, 2023 Purpose: Hypertension is responsible for approximately 30% of patients who reach end-stage renal disease. Statin is known to reduce the risk of developing kidney disease. In this study, the changes in caspase-3 and fibrillin1 in the kidney tissue of rats

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background There is emerging evidence for the role of the immune system in osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology; however, little is known about how immune cells and the synovial transcriptome are altered in naturally occurring equine OA. Objectives To evaluate synovial fluid (SF) and synovial membrane (SM) immune cell populations and the SM ...

Fibrillin-1 regulates mesangial cell attachment, spreading, migration and proliferation
, 2006 The microfibrillar protein fibrillin-1 is present in many organs, including the vasculature, eye, and dermis, and is thought to convey structural anchorage and elastic strength. Fibrillin-1 is also a component of the mesangial matrix.

The Diversity of Fibrillin Functions: Lessons from the Periodontal Ligament
CellsMarfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene encoding fibrillin-1. This extracellular matrix glycoprotein, which assembles into microfibrils, is best known for its scaffolding role in the production of elastic fibers responsible for ...
