Background: Decorin

Decorin, also known as PG40 and PGS2, is a secreted chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan in the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs). SLRP family members are characterized by N-terminal and C-terminal cysteine-rich regions which flank the central region containing 10 ‑ 12 tandem leucine-rich repeats (LRR) (1). The mouse Decorin cDNA encodes a 354 amino acid (aa) precursor that includes a 16 aa signal sequence and a 14 aa propeptide (2). Mature mouse Decorin contains twelve tandem LRR and shares 80% and 87% aa sequence identity with human and rat Decorin, respectively. Decorin is an N-glycosylated protein that also carries a variably-sized hybrid chondroitin/dermatan sulfate chain at Ser34 (2, 3). Naturally occurring Decorin proteoglycan has a molecular mass of approximately 100 kDa, and the deglycosylated Decorin core protein has a mass of approximately 40 kDa (4). Decorin regulates assembly of the extracellular collagen matrix and the bioactivity of the matrix associated growth factors FGF-2, GDF-8/Myostatin, TGF-beta, and WISP-1 (3, 5 ‑ 8). It also binds and activates EGF R, ErbB4, and IGF-I R (9 ‑ 11). In vivo, Decorin promotes myoblast differentiation, supports angiogenesis, and inhibits tumor progression (12 ‑ 15). Decorin is cleared from the extracellular space by LRP‑mediated endocytosis (16).
