Decorin protein core affects the global gene expression profile of the tumor microenvironment in a triple-negative orthotopic breast carcinoma xenograft model [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The loss of glycocalyx integrity impairs complement factor H binding and contributes to cyclosporine-induced endothelial cell injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundCalcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are associated with nephrotoxicity, endothelial cell dysfunction, and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Evolving evidence suggests an important role for complement dysregulation in the pathogenesis of CNI-induced ...

Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 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,

Scoliotic disease: report to the teacher

open access: yesХирургия позвоночника, 2020
It is with gratitude that I dedicate my work to the teacher, Ya.L. Tsivyan, who not only provided a subject for research, but also, on his own example of a person devoted to his work, brought up a generation of scholars for whom life and science are ...

Molecular Properties of Water-Unextractable Proteoglycans from Hypsizygus marmoreus and Their in Vitro Immunomodulatory Activities

open access: yesMolecules, 2011
Four proteoglycans were sequentially extracted from Hypsizygus marmoreus using 0.1 M NaOH (alkali-soluble proteoglycans [F1] and alkali-insoluble proteoglycans [F3]) and 0.1 M HCl (acid-soluble proteoglycans [F2] and acid-insoluble proteoglycans [F4 ...

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Statin-exposed vascular smooth muscle cells secrete proteoglycans with decreased binding affinity for LDL

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2003
Retention of LDL in the artery intima is mediated by extracellular matrix proteoglycans and plays an important role in the initiation of atherosclerosis.

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...

Proteoglycan neofunctions: regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
