Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2018 In this editorial to MDPI Pharmaceuticals special issue “Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans” we describe in outline the common structural features of glycosaminoglycans and the characteristics of proteoglycans, including the intracellular proteoglycan, serglycin, cell-surface proteoglycans, like syndecans and glypicans, and the extracellular matrix ...

Proteoglycans and Osteolysis [PDF]
, 2011 Osteolysis is a complex mechanism resulting from an exacerbated activity of osteoclasts associated or not with a dysregulation of osteoblast metabolism leading to bone loss. This bone defect is not compensated by bone apposition or by apposition of bone matrix with poor mechanical quality.

Defects in the medial entorhinal cortex and dentate gyrus in the mouse model of Sanfilippo syndrome type B. [PDF]
, 2011 Sanfilippo syndrome type B (MPS IIIB) is characterized by profound mental retardation in childhood, dementia and death in late adolescence; it is caused by deficiency of α-N-acetylglucosaminidase and resulting lysosomal storage of heparan sulfate.

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]
, 1996 We report evidence that gene complexes, consisting of polycations and plasmid DNA enter cells via binding to membrane-associated proteoglycans. Treatment of HeLa cells with sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, reduced luciferase

Proteoglycan neofunctions: regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology. [PDF]
, 2017 Inflammation and autophagy have emerged as prominent issues in the context of proteoglycan signaling. In particular, two small, leucine-rich proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, play pivotal roles in the regulation of these vital cellular pathways and ...

Proteomics Characterization of Extracellular Space Components in the Human Aorta [PDF]
, 2010 The vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for the structural integrity of the vessel wall and also serves as a substrate for the binding and retention of secreted products of vascular cells as well as molecules coming from the circulation ...

Smad4 regulates growth plate matrix production and chondrocyte polarity. [PDF]
, 2017 Smad4 is an intracellular effector of the TGFβ family that has been implicated in Myhre syndrome, a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, brachydactyly and stiff joints.

Seminars 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.

Discerning the spatio-temporal disease patterns of surgically induced OA mouse models [PDF]
, 2019 Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in ageing societies, with no effective therapies available to date. Two preclinical models are widely used to validate novel OA interventions (MCL-MM and DMM).
