Aggrecan expression is substantially and abnormally upregulated in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome dermal fibroblastsJoan M Lemire
Department of Anatomy and Cellular Biology, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA
Mech Ageing Dev 127:660-9. 2006..This demonstrates that elevated aggrecan expression and its secretion are aberrant features of HGPS. We conclude that HGPS cells can display massively altered transcript levels leading to the secretion of inappropriate protein species...
