Noncrystalline uric acid inhibits proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in distal tubular epithelial cells (MDCK) [PDF]
Hyperuricemia is associated with renal stones, not only consisting of uric acid (UrAc) but also of calcium oxalate (CaOx). Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are well-known inhibitors of growth and aggregation of CaOx crystals.

We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

Lipid-Linked Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan.
ヘパラン硫酸のコアタンパク質に脂質が共有結合すると、これらの遺伝子産物と細胞膜間に新しい分子結合が出来ることになる。プロテオグリカンは糖脂質化することで細胞頂上部へのふるい分けと標的となる膜への移動を行ない、細胞表面のプロテオグリカンが酵素反応により敏速に遊離される機構が出来上がる。プロテオグリカンが脂肪酸でアシル化されることは、疎水的な相互作用と、恐らく受容体を介した結合を仲介し、細胞内のプロテオグリカン/プロテオグリカン同士の相互作用の新しい機構を提供し、代謝回転に直接的な役割を果たすかも知れない。脂質を介した繋留に必要となる微細構造上の要求性や複合的なな酵素反応装置が同定出来ると、プロテオグリカンのこの新しい翻訳後の修飾が機能的に重要であることが明らかとなるであろう。

Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Opticin Binds to Heparan and Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans
The extracellular matrix glycoprotein opticin is a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan/protein family member that was discovered associated with vitreous humor collagen fibrils. Opticin is present throughout the vitreous, but is particularly concentrated at the internal limiting lamina, where it colocalizes with type XVIII collagen.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Behind the scenes: how the EMILIN/Multimerin family shapes the cancer landscape
The EMILIN/Multimerin family members regulate key hallmarks of cancer—including apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. As indicated, their function in immune evasion, drug resistance, and metabolic reprogramming remains largely unexplored.
