Collagen synthesis: a disulfide-linked collagen precursor in chick bone.
Chick calvaria labeled in vitro contain a triple-stranded collagen precursor that contains two pro alpha1 and one pro alpha2 chains. All chains contain cystine and are linked by S-S bonds. Ultracentrifugal analysis was used to measure the relative size of the disulfide-linked units. It is proposed that the S-S links help to determine the correct alignment of the triple-stranded structure.
متن کاملCollagen synthesis by human fibroblasts
We have examined the combined effects of transforming growth factor-fl (TGF-,8), serum and y-interferon (y-IFN) on collagen synthesis by fibroblasts and compared the response of fibroblast subpopulations to TGF-,6. Human diploid fibroblasts were treated with TGF-/J alone and with serum or y-IFN. Cells were labelled with radioactive amino acids, and collagen production was measured as collagenas...
متن کاملProtein Synthesis and Ageing
Protein synthesis is an essential cellular process affecting growth, reproduction and survival in response to both intrinsic and extrinsic cues such as nutrient availability and energy levels. Studies in many organisms, including humans, have revealed that during ageing, the rate of global protein synthesis declines, indicating a link between the regulation of protein synthesis and the ageing p...
متن کاملInflammation, ageing, and bone regeneration
Summary Bone healing involves complex biological pathways and interactions among various cell types and microenvironments. Among them, the monocyte-macrophage-osteoclast line-age and the mesenchymal stem cell-osteoblast lineage are critical, in addition to an initial inflammatory microenvironment. These cellular interactions induce the necessary inflammatory milieu and provide the cells for bon...
متن کاملElastin and collagen fibre microstructure of the human aorta in ageing and disease: a review.
Aortic disease is a significant cause of death in developed countries. The most common forms of aortic disease are aneurysm, dissection, atherosclerotic occlusion and ageing-induced stiffening. The microstructure of the aortic tissue has been studied with great interest, because alteration of the quantity and/or architecture of the connective fibres (elastin and collagen) within the aortic wall...
