Type VII Collagen Expression in the Human Vitreoretinal Interface, Corpora Amylacea and Inner Retinal Layers
Type VII collagen, as a major component of anchoring fibrils found at basement membrane zones, is crucial in anchoring epithelial tissue layers to their underlying stroma. Recently, type VII collagen was discovered in the inner human retina by means of immunohistochemistry, while proteomic investigations demonstrated type VII collagen at the vitreoretinal interface of chicken. Because of its po...
متن کاملCollagen distribution in the human vitreoretinal interface.
PURPOSE To evaluate the presence of collagen types I to VII, IX, XI, and XVIII at the posterior pole, the equator and the pre-equatorial area in human donor eyes, since collagens are important macromolecules that contribute to vitreoretinal adhesion at the vitreoretinal interface. METHODS Freshly isolated human retinectomy samples from the equator were used for reverse transcription-polymeras...
متن کاملType VII Collagen in the Human Accommodation System: Expression in Ciliary Body, Zonules, and Lens Capsule.
Purpose To investigate intraocular expression of COL7A1 and its protein product type VII collagen, particularly at the accommodation system. Methods Eyes from 26 human adult donors were used. COL7A1 expression was analyzed in ex vivo ciliary epithelium by microarray. Type VII collagen distribution was examined by Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry. and immuno-electron microscopy. R...
متن کاملNew perspectives on corpora amylacea in the human brain
Corpora amylacea are structures of unknown origin and function that appear with age in human brains and are profuse in selected brain areas in several neurodegenerative conditions. They are constituted of glucose polymers and may contain waste elements derived from different cell types. As we previously found on particular polyglucosan bodies in mouse brain, we report here that corpora amylacea...
متن کاملAmyloid in prostatic corpora amylacea.
AIM To determine the presence and nature of amyloid in prostatic corpora amylacea using immunohistological studies. METHODS Prostatic tissue from 18 transurethral and two open resection specimens was studied. Paraffin wax embedded tissue sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and the alkaline Congo red method with and without previous treatment with potassium permanganate. Sections...
