ACAN

(redirected from AGC1)

ACAN

A gene on chromosome 15q26.1 that encodes an aggrecan/versican proteoglycan, which is an integral part of the extracellular matrix in cartilage, where it provides compressive resistance.

Molecular pathology
ACAN mutations occur in skeletal dysplasia and spinal degeneration.

Earlier studies, examining passage-dependent differences to chondrogenic potential of MSCs, have produced varied results, with some studies reporting a maintenance of the chondrogenic potential of the cells up to passage 20 [46], or increase in COL2A1 and AGC1 expression from P4 to P9 in human adipose-derived adult stem [18].

QRT-PCR reactions for PDK2, SRY-related high mobility group-box 6 (Sox6), type II procollagen gene (COL2A1), cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), aggrecan (AGC1), type IX procollagen gene (COL9A2), collagen type 1 alpha 1 (COL1A1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) were performed with RiboMAX Large Scale RNA Production System T7 (Promega, Germany).

qRT-PCR assay of MSCs showed a potent increase in the mRNA expression levels of chondrogenesis markers including Sox6, COL2A1, COMP, AGC1, COL9A2 and COL1A1 in response to overexpressing PDK2 (P<0.01 or P<0.05, Figure 3).

PDK2: pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 2; sh: short hairpin; NC: negative control; Sox6: SRY-related high mobility group-box 6; COL2A1: type II procollagen gene; COMP: cartilage oligomeric matrix protein; AGC1: aggrecan; COL9A2: type IX procollagen gene; COL1A1: collagen type 1 alpha 1; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

PDK2 promotes chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by upregulation of Sox6 and activation of JNK/MAPK/ERK pathway

The SLC25A12 gene is associated with neurite development, encodes the calcium-dependent mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier (AGC1) that is known be functionally important in metabolically active neurons, and has been shown to be upregulated in the autistic prefrontal cortex [14, 54].

The calcium-dependent mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier, AGC1, and the gene that encodes it (SLC25A12) are of particular interest because they link defects in calcium regulation with mitochondrial dysfunction [115].
