Chondroitin sulfate in invertebrate development

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, October-December 2024.
Abstract Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is one of the most evolutionarily conserved glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Although CS's function in skeletal development is well established in vertebrates, CS exists in more primitive animal species with no cartilage or bone, such as C.

Low cholesterol levels are good markers for central hypothyroidism in case with dialysis using roxadustat

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2024.
Key Clinical Message Recently, hypoxia‐inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF‐PH) inhibitors have been used for renal anemia, but side effects have also been reported. We report on the association of central hypothyroidism and cholesterol with roxadustat.

Proteomic exploration of potential blood biomarkers in haemophilic arthropathy

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Background and Aims The pathophysiology of haemophilic arthropathy (HA) is complex and largely undefined. Proteomic analyses provide insights into the intricate mechanisms of the HA. Our study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins in relation to the severity of HA, explore their pathophysiological roles, and evaluate their ...

Placental growth hormone (GH), GH-binding protein, and insulin-like growth factor axis in normal, growth-retarded, and diabetic pregnancies: Correlations with fetal growth [PDF]

, 2000
We previously described significant changes in GH-binding protein (GHBP) in pathological human pregnancy. There was a substantial elevation of GHBP in cases of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and a reduction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Early life interventions metformin and trodusquemine metabolically reprogram the developing mouse liver through transcriptomic alterations

Aging Cell, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2024.
This study examined the effects of metformin (MF) and trodusquemine (MSI‐1436) on the livers of young, developing mice. We discovered that MSI‐1436 significantly alters mRNA and miRNA expression more potently than MF, impacting key metabolic pathways.

Effects of Topography on Tree Community Structure in a Deciduous Broad-Leaved Forest in North-Central China [PDF]

, 2019
Topography strongly influences the compositional structure of tree communities and plays a fundamental role in classifying habitats. Here, data of topography and 16 dominant tree species abundance were collected in a fully mapped 25-ha forest plot in the

Scale‐Dependent Rheology of Synovial Fluid Lubricating Macromolecules

Small, Volume 20, Issue 21, May 23, 2024.
A multiscale methodology using optical tweezers is developed to examine the interactions between hyaluronic acid (HA) and proteoglycan‐4 (PRG4/lubricin), which are major lubricating biomolecules of synovial fluid in the joints. For the first time, the length scale dependent structure and rheology in solution are characterized, providing a framework for

Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) treatment improves skin wound healing in a porcine model

The FASEB Journal, Volume 38, Issue 6, 31 March 2024.
Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) is commonly found in synovial fluid of the articular joint and serves as a boundary lubricant of articular cartilage. Interestingly, we show that human recombinant proteoglycan 4 (rhPRG4) improves healing of porcine full‐thickness skin injuries. rhPRG4 treatment decreases fibrosis, increases vascularization, and retains adipocytes
