| dc.description.abstract | Mdx mice uniquely recover from degenerative dystrophic lesions through an intense myoproliferative response. The onset and progression of this process are controlled by a complex set of interactions between myoblasts and their environment. The presence of the extracellular matrix is essential for normal myogenesis. Proteoglycans are abundant components of the extracellular matrix. The synthesis of proteoglycans in mdx mice during skeletal muscle regeneration was evaluated. Incorporation of radioactive sulfate demonstrated a significant increase in the synthesis of several types of proteoglycans in mdx animals compared to age-matched controls. The size and charge of proteoglycans synthesized by the mdx mice remained unchanged. In particular, one of the up-regulated proteoglycans, the small chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan decorin which is known to bind and to sequester transforming growth factor-beta, was investigated. Immunocytolocalization and in situ hybridization studies showed that decorin mainly accumulated in the endomysium, i.e. around individual skeletal muscle fibers from M. titialis anterior and diaphragm. | |
