Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) biglycan (BGN) and decorin (DCN) linked with sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains exhibit oncogenic or tumor suppressive potentials depending on the cellular context and association with GAGs. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that structural alterations and expression levels of BGN, DCN and their associated chondroitin sulfate (CS) polymerizing enzymes,...
