Previous studies have indicated that the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLR) osteoglycin (OGN) is downregulated in various cancers, including squamous cervical carcinoma, gastric cancer, and colorectal adenoma, indicating that OGN is a putative tumor suppressor.
OIF <343.4 pg/mL remained predictive of microalbuminuria (odds ratio = 11.60; 95% confidence interval: 1.25-107.47) after adjusting for confounding factors.Serum OIF is an independent diagnostic marker of DN.
The present study investigated the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis plaque and the circulating levels of some SLRPs, including decorin, lumican, and osteoglycin, in essential hypertension.
As results, in vitro and in vivo, the OGN expression was demonstrated to reduce cell proliferation, inhibit invasion of colon cancer cells then impede cancer progression.
Besides carotid artery plaque, lumican was related to impaired glucose tolerance (r = 0.162, p = 0.046) and adversely related to osteoglycin (r = - 0.273, p < 0.001), whereas unrelated to age, sex, BMI, diabetes, blood pressure, serum lipids, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or carotid intima-media thickness in univariate correlation analyses.
Constrictive Bronchiolitis (CB) has been reported in US Operation Iraqi Freedom/Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) deployers but not in those from prior US conflicts.
OGN-overexpressing meningioma cells demonstrated an elevated rate of cell proliferation, cell cycle activation, and colony formation as compared with cells transfected with control vector.
OGN may plays a significant role in osteoporosis, which may also provide a potential target for therapeutic intervention of senile osteoporosis characterized by altered differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts and adipocytes.
These results demonstrate the promise of a web-based, self-management intervention for difficult-to-engage OEF/OIF veterans with behavioral health and substance use concerns.
