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.

Taken together, these data implicate Ogn as a key regulator of LVM in rats, mice and humans, and suggest that Ogn modifies the hypertrophic response to extrinsic factors such as hypertension and aortic stenosis.
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.
