Testing if Micro-CT Is Capable of Quantitating the Extent of Proteoglycan-Aggrecan Induced Axial Spondyloarthritis in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
ObjectiveInjections of proteoglycan aggrecan (PGA) have been reported to induce axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) in BALB/c mice. It is considered to be a model for radiographic ax-SpA.

The Genes Encoding Small Leucine-Rich Proteoglycans Undergo Differential Expression Alterations in Colorectal Cancer, Depending on Tumor Location

open access: yesCells, 2021
Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) regulate different processes and undergo significant alterations in various diseases. Colon carcinomas (CCs) are heterogeneous pathologies with important clinical and molecular differences depending on their ...

Cartilage proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2001
The predominant proteoglycan present in cartilage is the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 'aggrecan'. Following its secretion, aggrecan self-assembles into a supramolecular structure with as many as 50 monomers bound to a filament of hyaluronan.

Chondroitin Sulfates Control Invasiveness of the Basal-Like Breast Cancer Cell Line MDA-MB-231 Through ROR1

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Extracellular and cell surface chondroitin sulfates (CSs) regulate cancer cell properties, including proliferation and invasion. Thus, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying their roles in cancer.

Proteoglycan sequence [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular BioSystems, 2012
Proteoglycans (PGs) are among the most structurally complex biomacromolecules in nature. They are present in all animal cells and frequently exert their critical biological functions through interactions with protein ligands and receptors. PGs are comprised of a core protein to which one or multiple, heterogeneous, and polydisperse glycosaminoglycan ...

Intracellular proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2004
Proteoglycans (PGs) are proteins with glycosaminoglycan chains, are ubiquitously expressed and have a wide range of functions. PGs in the extracellular matrix and on the cell surface have been the subject of extensive structural and functional studies.

Angiotensin II Induces Aortic Rupture and Dissection in Osteoprotegerin‐Deficient Mice

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background The biological mechanism of action for osteoprotegerin, a soluble decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor‐kappa B ligand in the vascular structure, has not been elucidated.

Interplay between Cell-Surface Receptors and Extracellular Matrix in Skin

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Skin consists of the epidermis and dermis, which are connected by a specialized basement membrane—the epidermal basement membrane. Both the epidermal basement membrane and the underlying interstitial extracellular matrix (ECM) created by dermal ...

Activin A-Mediated Regulation of XT-I in Human Skin Fibroblasts

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Fibrosis is a fundamental feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and is characterized by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components like proteoglycans (PG) or collagens in skin and internal organs.
