Decorin

Decorin's name is a derivative of both the fact that it "decorates" collagen type I, and that it interacts with the "d" and "e" bands of fibrils of this collagen.

Decorin appears to influence fibrillogenesis, and also interacts with fibronectin, thrombospondin, the complement component C1q, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).

Decorin has been shown to either enhance or inhibit the activity of TGF-beta 1. The primary function of decorin involves regulation during the cell cycle.

It has been involved in the regulation of autophagy, of endothelial cell and inhibits angiogenesis. This process is mediated by a high-affinity interaction with VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor) which leads to increased levels of tumor suppressor gene called PEG3.{{cite journal | vauthors = Buraschi S, Neill T, Goyal A, Poluzzi C, Smythies J, Owens RT, Schaefer L, Torres A, Iozzo RV | display-authors = 6 | title = Decorin causes autophagy in endothelial cells via Peg3 | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 110 | issue = 28 | pages = E2582-91 | date = July 2013 | pmid = 23798385 | pmc = 3710796 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.1305732110 | bibcode = 2013PNAS..110E2582B | doi-access = free }} Other angiogenic growth factors that decorin inhibits are angiopoietin, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).{{cite journal | vauthors = Järveläinen H, Sainio A, Wight TN | title = Pivotal role for decorin in angiogenesis | journal = Matrix Biology | volume = 43 | pages = 15–26 | date = April 2015 | pmid = 25661523 | pmc = 4560244 | doi = 10.1016/j.matbio.2015.01.023 | url = https://zenodo.org/record/1230156 }}

Decorin has recently been established as a myokine. In this role, it promotes muscle hypertrophy by binding with myostatin.{{cite journal | vauthors = Kanzleiter T, Rath M, Görgens SW, Jensen J, Tangen DS, Kolnes AJ, Kolnes KJ, Lee S, Eckel J, Schürmann A, Eckardt K | display-authors = 6 | title = The myokine decorin is regulated by contraction and involved in muscle hypertrophy | journal = Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications | volume = 450 | issue = 2 | pages = 1089–94 | date = July 2014 | pmid = 24996176 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbrc.2014.06.123 }}
