Matrix metalloproteinase interactions with collagen and elastin
Most abundant in the extracellular matrix are collagens, joined by elastin that confers elastic recoil to the lung, aorta, and skin. These fibrils are highly resistant to proteolysis but can succumb to a minority of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Considerable inroads to understanding how such MMPs move to the susceptible sites in collagen and then unwind the triple helix of collagen mono...
متن کاملNeck Contracture Release With Matriderm Collagen/Elastin Dermal Matrix
AIMS To demonstrate success with immediate split-skin graft application over Matriderm dermal matrix in a difficult neck contracture release. METHODS An aggressive neck contracture release, accompanied by complete platysmectomy, was followed by application of Matriderm, split-skin graft, Mepitel, and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) dressing. RESULTS At VAC removal (day 7), graft take was almo...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase dependent and independent collagen degradation.
Cleavage of the fibrillar collagens occurs during physiological conditions, as well as pathological conditions. The resistance of the fibrillar collagens to degradation is due to their rigid and compact structures. There are only a limited number of proteinases that have the capability to initiate the cleavage of the fibrillar collagens. These include some of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs...
متن کاملArterial extracellular matrix: a mechanobiological study of the contributions and interactions of elastin and collagen.
The complex network structure of elastin and collagen extracellular matrix (ECM) forms the primary load bearing components in the arterial wall. The structural and mechanobiological interactions between elastin and collagen are important for properly functioning arteries. Here, we examined the elastin and collagen organization, realignment, and recruitment by coupling mechanical loading and mul...
متن کاملCollagen and elastin fibres.
PROCOLLAGEN-COLLAGEN CONVERSION The first extracellular step after secretion is the proteolytic cleavage of these Nand C-terminal nonhelical regions of procollagen (Bornstein, 1974). The actual location of cleavage of these extension peptides is not known, but they are probably removed during the formation of the fibre and may take part in fibrogenesis. The intermediates in the conversion of pr...
