Decorin in the ageing heart: A new inflammatory culprit?
A recent study proposed that non-glycanated decorin, accumulating in the ageing endothelium, drives inflammation and cardiac ageing by interacting with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This letter provides a critical analysis of those findings, identifying key mechanistic ambiguities that must be resolved to assess the pathway’s therapeutic potential. The authors question the precise origin of this decorin accumulation and its quantitative contribution to the broader inflammatory milieu of cardiac ageing.
