Nanostructured drug delivery systems for posterior segment eye diseases: Strategies to defy ocular barriers

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Efficient drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye has long been a challenging issue due to the complex ocular barriers. The review focuses on the promise held by nanoplatforms for barrier penetration and the key mechanisms involved, also highlighting their advantages in achieving efficient drug delivery and superior treatment of PSEDs ...

Perlecan regulates pericyte dynamics in the maintenance and repair of the blood–brain barrier

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2019
Pericytes play important roles in the repair of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Nakamura et al. show that an ECM protein, perlecan, maintains BBB integrity and regulates pericyte recruitment after ischemic stroke through the cooperative function of PDGFRβ

Endorepellin remodels the endothelial transcriptome toward a pro-autophagic and pro-mitophagic gene signature. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Regulation of autophagy by proteolytically cleaved fragments of heparan sulfate proteoglycans is a novel and current research focus in tumor biology. Endorepellin is the C-terminal angiostatic fragment of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan and ...

Heterologous Surface Display Reveals Conserved Complement Inhibition and Functional Diversification of Borrelia burgdorferi Elp Proteins

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A novel approach using the Pseudomonas syringae ice nucleation protein (INP) system to present Borrelia burgdorferi lipoproteins on the surface of Escherichia coli reveals conservation of complement inhibitory functions among uncharacterized OspE/F‐like leader peptide (Elp) proteins.

Perlecan Knockdown Significantly Alters Extracellular Matrix Composition and Organization During Cartilage Development

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2020
Perlecan deficiency affects the material properties of developing cartilage. Imaging and proteomic analyses of a murine model of SJS revealed pericellular matrix formation, bulk matrix content and glycosaminoglycan deposition at the articular surface ...

An environmentally-friendly perlecan protein expression

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract The risk of high sugar level exposure can affect almost all parts of the body, organ systems, tissues, to the cellular level. The exposure to high sugar level caused disturbances in the joints in the form of changes in the microcellular environment. It will cause negative impact to microcellular component of articular cartilage,

The CS sulphation motifs 4C3, 7D4, 3B3[-]; and perlecan identify stem cell populations and niches, activated progenitor cells and transitional tissue development in the fetal human elbow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We compared the immunohistochemical distribution of (i) the novel chondroitin sulphate (CS) sulphation motifs 7D4, 4C3 and 3B3[-], (ii) native heparan sulphate (HS) and Δ-HS ‘stubs’ generated by heparitinase III digestion and (iii) the HS-proteoglycan ...

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The mechanosensitive osteocytic network within the bone matrix acts as a receptor and plays a crucial role in the functional adaptation of bone to mechanical loading. Through mechanotransduction, osteocytes convert mechanical impulses into electrical signals, which are transmitted via afferent nerves to sympathetic preganglionic ...
