Hierarchical organization of cartilage proteoglycans.

Macromolecular symposia

Horkay F, Basser PJ, Hecht AM, Geissler E.
PMID: 23565043
Macromol Symp. 2011 Sep;306(1):11-17. doi: 10.1002/masy.201000115.

The hierarchical organization of cartilage proteoglycans is investigated on different length and time scales using osmotic pressure measurements, small angle neutron scattering (SANS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), static and dynamic light scattering and neutron spin echo techniques. Osmotic...

Reprint of: Heparan sulfate as a regulator of endochondral ossification and osteochondroma development.

Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology

Jochmann K, Bachvarova V, Vortkamp A.
PMID: 24726293
Matrix Biol. 2014 Apr;35:239-47. doi: 10.1016/j.matbio.2014.04.001. Epub 2014 Apr 12.

Most elements of the vertebrate skeleton are formed by endochondral ossification. This process is initiated with mesenchymal cells that condense and differentiate into chondrocytes. These undergo several steps of differentiation from proliferating into hypertrophic chondrocytes, which are subsequently replaced...

Molecular mechanisms of inherited thoracic aortic disease - from gene variant to surgical aneurysm.

Biophysical reviews

Robertson E, Dilworth C, Lu Y, Hambly B, Jeremy R.

Aortic dissection is a catastrophic event that has a high mortality rate. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are the clinically silent precursor that confers an increased risk of acute aortic dissection. There are several gene mutations that have been identified in...

Glucosamine exposure reduces proteoglycan synthesis in primary human endothelial cells in vitro.

Food & nutrition research

Reine TM, Jenssen TG, Kolset SO.
PMID: 27667774
Food Nutr Res. 2016 Sep 23;60:32615. doi: 10.3402/fnr.v60.32615. eCollection 2016.

PURPOSE: Glucosamine (GlcN) supplements are promoted for medical reasons, for example, for patients with arthritis and other joint-related diseases. Oral intake of GlcN is followed by uptake in the intestine, transport in the circulation and thereafter delivery to chondrocytes....

UP3005, a Botanical Composition Containing Two Standardized Extracts of Uncaria gambir and Morus alba, Improves Pain Sensitivity and Cartilage Degradations in Monosodium Iodoacetate-Induced Rat OA Disease Model.

Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease primarily noted by cartilage degradation in association with inflammation that causes significant morbidity, joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Present-day management of OA is inadequate due to the lack of principal therapies proven...

Matricryptins Network with Matricellular Receptors at the Surface of Endothelial and Tumor Cells.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Ricard-Blum S, Vallet SD.
PMID: 26869928
Front Pharmacol. 2016 Feb 04;7:11. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2016.00011. eCollection 2016.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a source of bioactive fragments called matricryptins or matrikines resulting from the proteolytic cleavage of extracellular proteins (e.g., collagens, elastin, and laminins) and proteoglycans (e.g., perlecan). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), cathepsins, and bone-morphogenetic protein-1 release...

ESM-1 siRNA Knockdown Decreased Migration and Expression of CXCL3 in Prostate Cancer Cells.

International journal of biomedical science : IJBS

Rebollo J, Geliebter J, Reyes N.
PMID: 28533735
Int J Biomed Sci. 2017 Mar;13(1):35-42.

Endothelial cell-specific molecule-1 (ESM-1), also known as endocan, is a soluble proteoglycan expressed by the vascular endothelium, which also circulates in the bloodstream. Inflammatory cytokines and proangiogenic growth factors increase its expression, and increased serum levels have been reported...

The advancements of heparanase in fibrosis.

Lv Q, Zeng J, He L.
PMID: 28078057
Int J Mol Epidemiol Genet. 2016 Nov 30;7(4):137-140. eCollection 2016.

Fibrosis is the endpoint in many chronic inflammatory diseases and is defined as an abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix components. Fibrosis can affect almost any tissue, especially heart, lung, liver, and kidney, and numerous studies have been conducted to...

Hepcidin antagonists for potential treatments of disorders with hepcidin excess.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Poli M, Asperti M, Ruzzenenti P, Regoni M, Arosio P.
PMID: 24808863
