Epithelial Collagens and Glycosaminoglycans in the Embryonic Cornea
The embryonic corneal epithelium synthesizes both collagen and chondroitin sulfate and excretes them across the basement membrane into the subepithelial space where they assemble into a spiraling orthogonal matrix of fibrils. The assembly of collagen into fibrils is first apparent at the outer face of the basement membrane in a region of ordered chondroitin sulfate molecules. Hyaluronate, anoth...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of procollagens and collagens by tissue explants and matrix-free cells from embryonic chick cornea.
Tendon and cornea of 17-day-old chick embryos primarily synthesize type I collagen as the major collagenous component nd type V collagen as a minor collagenous component. Matrix-free cells isolated from cornea and tendon synthesize and secrete mainly type I procollagen. A short lag period for the secretion of collagenous polypeptides into the medium of cell suspensions is observed. There is no ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Glycosaminoglycans during Cornea 1 Development
Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis was studied in developing chick corneas, with particular attention paid to keratan sulfate I, the major glycosaminoglycan of this tissue. This polysaccharide is unique to the cornea and may be required for the development and maintenance of cornea1 transparency. Corneas from 5. to 20-day chick embryos were labeled in uitro with D[6-3H]glucosamine and H2”S0,, and t...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycans in the Human Cornea: Age-Related Changes
AIM To investigate possible age-related changes in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the human cornea. The substances today called GAGs were previously referred to as mucopolysaccharides. METHODS Samples of human cornea were taken from 12 younger (age 21 ± 1.2) and 12 older (age 72 ± 1.6) male subjects. Samples were weighed, homogenized, and used for biochemical and molecular analyses. All the qua...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of collagens in rabbit cornea: type III collagen.
Whole neonate rabbit corneas and adult corneas containing 2-week-old scars were incubated in the presence of [14C] glycine. Radiolabeled collagen extracted from the corneas and scar tissue were analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography to determine the types and relative quantity of collagen polypeptides present and synthesized by these tissues. In ad...
