| 19164294 | Versican/PG-M Assembles Hyaluronan into Extracellular Matrix and Inhibits CD44-mediated Signaling toward Premature Senescence in Embryonic Fibroblasts |
| 19164294 | Versican/PG-M is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of the extracellular matrix which interacts with hyaluronan at the N-terminal G1 domain, composed of A, B, and B' subdomains |
| 19164294 | Recently, we generated knock-in mice Cspg2(Delta3/Delta3), whose versican, without the A subdomain, has decreased hyaluronan (HA) binding affinity, thereby exhibiting reduced deposition of versican in the extracellular matrix |
| 19164294 | Whereas the extracellular matrix of the wild type fibroblasts exhibited a network structure of hyaluronan and versican, that of the Cspg2(Delta3/Delta3) fibroblasts exhibited approximately 35 and approximately 85% deposition of versican and HA, without such a structure |
| 19164294 | These results demonstrate that versican is essential for matrix assembly involving hyaluronan and that diminished versican deposition increases free hyaluronan fragments that interact with CD44 and increase phosphorylation of ERK1/2, leading to cellular senescence |
