Abstract:
:The CCN genes encode secreted signaling proteins that participate in fundamental processes including cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, embryogenesis, tissue remodeling and patterning. Abnormal expression of CCN proteins is associated with several pathological conditions, including vascular diseases, fibrosis and cancer. Understanding the structural and functional basis for the variety of biological properties attributed to CCN proteins is an important challenge. It will help the understanding of their roles in the control of cellular proliferation, differentiation and death, thereby allowing their use for early diagnosis and therapy. In an attempt to evaluate the relevance of CCN3 as a useful tool in modern biomedical technologies, the biological properties of the CCN proteins and the data that established their potential usefulness will briefly be reviewed.
