Quantifying Cooperativity in Mutated Collagen
Many biological systems can be considered coupled systems, arising from the interconnected structure of on (or more) molecular/protein components. An important characteristic of any such “built up” macromolecule is the need for synergistic behavior between the individual components. In nature, this behavior is evident, e.g., the double stranded constitution of DNA is a well-known fact; however,...
متن کاملStudy of Expression Type Iv Collagen During Mouse Kidney Ubulogenesis in Balb/C Mouse
Purpose: In this study specific antibody have been used for tracing type IV collagen basement membrane during renal tubules morphogenesis in mouse fetuses. Materials and Methods: 20 female Balb/C mice were selected randomly and were kept under normal condition, finding vaginal plug was assumed as day zero of pregnancy. 12 pregnant mice were scarified by cervical dislocation in one of gestationa...
متن کاملInterstitial pericytes decrease in aged mouse kidneys
With increasing age, the kidney undergoes characteristic changes in the glomerular and tubulo-interstitial compartments, which are ultimately accompanied by reduced kidney function. Studies have shown age-related loss of peritubular vessels. Normal peritubular vessel tone, function and survival depend on neighboring pericytes. Pericyte detachment leads to vascular damage, which can be accompani...
متن کاملThe Role of Type IV Collagen in Developing Lens in Mouse Fetuses
Objective(s) Extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM) play important roles in many developmental processes during development and after birth. Among the components of the BM, collagen fibers specially type IV are the most important parts. The aim of this study was to determine the time when collagen type IV appears in the BM of lens structure during mouse embryonic development. M...
متن کاملMaternal Nexposure on Collagen Type Iv Pulmonary Changes in Mouse Offspring's
Purpose: In this study we evaluated the effect of maternal nicotine administration during pre and postnatal period on collagen IV changes in lung of mouse newborns. Materials and Methods: Female Balb/C mice were mated and finding vaginal plug was assumed as day zero of pregnancy. Pregnant mice, were divided into 2 experimental and 2 control groups. Experimental group 1, received 3 mg/kg nicotin...
