Catabolism of aggrecan, decorin and biglycan in tendon.
We have examined the catabolism of the proteoglycans aggrecan, decorin and biglycan in fresh tendon samples and in explant cultures of tissue from the tensional and compressed regions of young and mature bovine tendons. A panel of well-characterized antibodies that recognize glycosaminoglycan or protein (linear or neoepitope) sequences was used to detect proteoglycans and proteoglycan degradati...
متن کاملThe cloning of mouse keratocan cDNA and genomic DNA and the characterization of its expression during eye development.
Keratan sulfate proteoglycans (KSPGs) play a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of corneal transparency. Keratocan, lumican, and mimecan (osteoglycin) are the major KSPGs in vertebrate corneas. To provide a better understanding of the structure/function relationship of keratocan, we have cloned both the mouse keratocan gene and its cDNA. We have also examined its expression during ...
متن کاملKeratocan is expressed by osteoblasts and can modulate osteogenic differentiation.
Keratocan is an extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family that also includes lumican, biglycan, decorin, mimecan, and fibromodulin. Members of this family are known to play a role in regulating cellular processes such as proliferation and modulation of osteoprogenitor lineage differentiation. The aims of this study were to evaluate the expression pa...
متن کاملVariations of Palmaris Longus Tendon: a Cadaver Study in Kerman City
Introduction: Since palmaris longus tendon is the first choice for grafting, its anatomical variation is important. This study was designed to find the anatomical variations of this tendon in Iranian population by performing a study on cadaver. Method: In this study, 150 forearms belonged to 75 cadavers were studied. After exploring the proximal end of tendon, tendon width was measured at its p...
