Interplay between Cell-Surface Receptors and Extracellular Matrix in Skin
Biomolecules, 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
Biomolecules, 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.

Syndecan receptors: pericellular regulators in development and inflammatory disease [PDF]
Open Biology, 2021 The syndecans are the major family of transmembrane proteoglycans, usually bearing multiple heparan sulfate chains. They are present on virtually all nucleated cells of vertebrates and are also present in invertebrates, indicative of a long evolutionary ...

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

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.

Proteoglycan neofunctions: Regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology
The FEBS Journal, 2016 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 ...

The podocyte and the proteoglycan [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2016 proteoglycans (PGs) consist of a core protein and linear sugar side chains [glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)] attached to the core protein, e.g., agrin, perlecan, glypican, and syndecan. GAGs comprise repeating duplex sugar units made of an aminosugar (e.g., N -acetylglucosamine or N -acetylgalactosamine)
