Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor Runx2 can be controlled by a number of upstream regulators involved in intracellular signalling, including the activation ERK1/2 signaling by fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). FGFs interact with their cell surface receptors (FGFRs) through an obligate cross-binding interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) co-receptors; exogenous HS sugar chains have been shown to potently...
