NG2/HMPG modulation of human articular chondrocyte adhesion to type VI collagen is lost in osteoarthritis.
NG2/human melanoma proteoglycan (HMPG) is a chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (CSPG), expressed by chondrocytes in fetal and in normal and osteoarthritic (OA) adult articular cartilage. NG2/HMPG is a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins, including type VI collagen, and regulates beta1 integrin...
