  Effect of co‐incubation of SLRPs and fibronectin. (a) Pre‐adipocytes were plated either in uncoated wells (BSA), biglycan, decorin, or fibronectin alone, or a combination of biglycan + decorin (BGN + DCN), biglycan + fibronectin (BGN + FN), or decorin + fibronectin (DCN + FN), for 48 h. (b) Pre‐adipocytes were plated either in uncoated wells (BSA), biglycan, decorin, or fibronectin alone, or a combination of biglycan + decorin + fibronectin (BGN + DCN + FN), for 48 h. Interaction treatments were coated at equal concentration of 2.5 μg/ml. Both biglycan and decorin suppressed fibronectin’s proliferative effect. Bars represent means ± SE (n = 5). Superscript letters indicate differences in treatments as determined by ANOVA followed by Tukey means separation (P < 0.05).
