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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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

Decorin protein core affects the global gene expression profile of the tumor microenvironment in a triple-negative orthotopic breast carcinoma xenograft model [PDF]
, 2012 Decorin, a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, exists and functions wholly within the tumor microenvironment to suppress tumorigenesis by directly targeting and antagonizing multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, such as the EGFR and ...
