Mechanism of in Vitro Collagen Fibril Assembly
The kinetics of in vitro fibril assembly of Type I collagen preparations that contain different amounts of covalently cross-linked oligomers was studied with turbidimetry. Fibril formation showed a lag phase with no solution turbidity and a growth phase with a sigmoidal increase in the solution turbidity. The length of the lag phase was inversely related to both the total collagen concentration...
متن کاملCollagen fibrillogenesis in vitro: interaction of types I and V collagen regulates fibril diameter.
The small-diameter fibrils of the chick corneal stroma are heterotypic, composed of both collagen types I and V. This tissue has a high concentration of type V collagen relative to other type I-containing tissues with larger-diameter fibrils, suggesting that heterotypic interactions may have a regulatory role in the control of fibril diameter. The interactions of collagen types I and V were stu...
متن کاملTime-lapse confocal reflection microscopy of collagen fibrillogenesis and extracellular matrix assembly in vitro.
The development of the next generation of biomaterials for restoration of tissues and organs (i.e., tissue engineering) requires a better understanding of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and its interaction with cells. Extracellular matrix is a macromolecular assembly of natural biopolymers including collagens, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), proteoglycans (PGs), and glycoproteins. Interestingly, sev...
متن کاملMice lacking matrilin-1 (cartilage matrix protein) have alterations in type II collagen fibrillogenesis and fibril organization.
Matrilin-1 (cartilage matrix protein) is a homotrimeric protein that forms collagen-dependent and collagen-independent fibrils in the extracellular matrix of cartilage. In the growth plate of developing long bones, the gene for matrilin-1 is transcribed exclusively by the chondrocytes of the zone of maturation which is situated between the zones of proliferation and hypertrophy. When associated...
متن کاملDevelopment of tendon structure and function: regulation of collagen fibrillogenesis.
In the tendon, the development of mature mechanical properties is dependent on the assembly of a tendon-specific extracellular matrix. This matrix is synthesized by the tendon fibroblasts and composed of collagen fibrils organized as fibers, as well as fibril-associated collagenous and non-collagenous proteins. All of these components are integrated, during development and growth, to form a fun...
