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...
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of heritable mechanobullous disorders characterized by fragility of the skin and mucous membranes. Traditionally, EB has been divided into three broad categories based on the level of tissue separation within the cutaneous basement membrane zone (BMZ) (Christiano and Uitto, 1996a; Fine et al., 1999; Uitto et al., 1997). One of these subsets, the dystrophic ...
Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) athrocalasia type (type VII), is characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and tissue fragility. No heart involvement has been reported. Two forms have been described: type VII A and VII B. The abnormally processed collagen α2(I) and the skipping of the exon 6 in COL1A2 gene are typically detected in EDS type VII B. We describe a seven-year old f...
Collagen VII anchoring fibrils in the basement membrane zone (BMZ) are part of a supracellular anchoring network that attaches the epithelium to the BMZ. Sloughing of airway epithelium in asthmatics (creola bodies) is a pathology associated with the supracellular anchoring network. In a rhesus monkey model of house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic asthma, we found increased deposition of collag...
Human retinal Müller cells synthesize collagens of the vitreous and vitreoretinal interface in vitro
PURPOSE To investigate the capacity of cultured Müller cells to synthesize collagens, since previous studies indicated that Müller cells could be involved in collagen remodeling at the vitreoretinal border in adult human eyes. METHODS Spontaneously immortalized cultured human Müller cells were analyzed for the presence of mRNA of types I-VII, IX, XI, and XVII collagen by RT-PCR. Furthermore, ...
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is an acquired subepidermal bullous disease characterized by IgG autoantibodies to type VII collagen, a major component of anchoring fibrils. Most patients with EBA are adult and develop autoantibodies to the noncollagenous (NC) 1 domain of type VII collagen. We describe a 4-year-old Japanese boy presenting pruritic vesicles and tense blisters over his whol...
Anchoring fibrils are essential structural elements of the dermoepidermal junction and are crucial to its functional integrity. They are composed largely of type VII collagen, but their cellular origin has not yet been confirmed. In this study, we demonstrate that the anchoring fibrils are primarily a product of epidermal keratinocytes. Human keratinocyte sheets were transplanted to a nondermal...
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare inherited blistering disorder caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding type VII collagen. The deficiency and/or dysfunction of type VII collagen leads to subepidermal blistering immediately below the lamina densa, resulting in mucocutaneous fragility and disease complications such as intractable ulcers, extensive scarring, malnutrition, and mali...
Many inherited abnormalities of collagen are likely and may be listed under the following headings as proved, probable, or possible. Proved Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) (types III, IV, V, VI, VII); osteogenesis imperfecta (broadboned type); thanatophoric dwarfism; dermatosparaxis (animal equivalent of EDS VII); blotchy mice (animal equivalent of EDS V). Probable Marfan syndrome; pseudoxanthoma ...
