Versican in Health and Disease

Connective Tissue Research, 2008
Versican is a component of the extracellular matrix, which interacts with several matrix and cell surface molecules. Versican plays central roles in tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis and is implicated in the development of numerous diseases. The expression of versican by multiple cell types is differentially regulated in a temporal and spatial ...

Versican expression in human cervical cancer

European Journal of Cancer, 2007
Versican expression may enhance tumour invasion and metastasis. However, the expressions of versican in cervical cancer have seldom been characterised. The aim of this study was to investigate versican expression in human cervical cancers. We immunohistochemically investigated the expression of versican protein in 174 cervical cancers and analysed the ...

Versican localizes to the nucleus in proliferating mesenchymal cells

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2015
Versican is a versatile and highly interactive chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of many tissues and is a major component of developing and developed lesions in atherosclerotic vascular disease. In this paper, we present data to indicate that versican may have important intracellular functions in addition ...

The biological role and regulation of versican levels in cancer

open access: yesCancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2009
Increased expression of the proteoglycan, versican is strongly associated with poor outcome for many different cancers. Depending on the cancer type, versican is expressed by either the cancer cells themselves or by stromal cells surrounding the tumor ...

V3: an enigmatic isoform of the proteoglycan versican

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2023
V3 is an isoform of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteoglycan (PG) versican generated through alternative splicing of the versican gene such that the two major exons coding for sequences in the protein core that support chondroitin sulfate (CS) glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain attachment are excluded. Thus, versican V3 isoform carries no GAGs. A survey

Versican in the Tumor Microenvironment

2020
Versican is an extracellular matrix proteoglycan with nonredundant roles in diverse biological and cellular processes, ranging from embryonic development to adult inflammation and cancer. Versican is essential for cardiovascular morphogenesis, neural crest migration, and skeletal development during embryogenesis.

Versican in human fetal skin development

Anatomy and Embryology, 1999
The extracellular matrix of human fetal skin differs substantially from that of adult skin. Fetal skin contains sparse amounts of fibrillar collagen enmeshed in a highly hydrated amorphous matrix composed of hyaluronan and sulfated proteoglycans. Both fetal and adult skin contain two major interstitial proteoglycans that are extracted by chaotrophic ...
