Decorin Promotes Nascent Proteoglycan Retention in Cartilage Matrix by Strengthening Collagen II-Aggrecan Integration
2025-11-13
Abstract excerpt
Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM), a hydrated collagen II-aggrecan composite, undergoes dynamic turnover during both normal homeostasis and disease-associated remodeling. This study elucidates a crucial role for decorin in promoting the retention and stability of nascent aggrecan within this matrix. By applying bio-orthogonal click-labeling, we demonstrate that loss of decorin accelerates the release of nascent...
