Targeting the heparan sulfate proteoglycan/heparanase axis as a novel therapeutic strategy to drive adipogenesis and block tumor growth of dedifferentiated liposarcoma
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is an aggressive mesenchymal malignancy coexisting with a low grade well-differentiated component. Pathways implicated in liposarcoma growth and dedifferentiation are promoted by heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans (HSPG) and their modifying enzymes including heparanase. HSPGs serve...
