In vivo demonstration Conceptual extension of emerging in vitro findings was performed by testing the potential effect of oral LASSS administration on prevention of muscle disuse-induced nitration-dysfunction of ECM-bound HGF (at Y198 and Y250 in K1 and K2 domains, respectively) 64
Mechanistically, at very low, non-toxic concentrations, the peptide stimulates collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and proteoglycans such as decorin, while modulating the matrix metalloproteinases involved in extracellular matrix remodeling during healing
These experiments provide a robust demonstration that GSSSG and LASSS treatment of HGF prevents peroxynitrite-induced Y198/Y250-nitration/dysfunction of HGF, and thus guarantee satellite cell activation activity
