Collagen chain composition and collagen gene expression in acne keloids.
Keloids are thick scars that grow beyond the boundaries of the original skin damage. Most lesions appear within one year of skin inflammation including burns, surgery and acne vulgaris. They are characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular mamx components. Keloid waning results from increased activity of fibroblasts in the dermis with imbalance between synthesis and breakdown of ...
متن کاملTranscription of the chicken alpha 2 (Type I) collagen gene by homologous cell-free extracts.
We have used two methods to detect specific transcription of the chicken alpha 2 (type I) collagen gene in cell-free extracts derived from Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts. The first method is a modification of the S1 nuclease mapping procedure which utilizes a DNA probe labeled with 32P at the 5' end of the HindIII linker originally used to clone the collagen promoter ...
متن کاملGenetic identification, sequence, and alternative splicing of the Caenorhabditis elegans alpha 2(IV) collagen gene
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has two type IV collagen genes homologous to the mammalian alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV) collagen genes. We demonstrate by transgenic rescue of mutant animals that the genetic locus encoding the C. elegans alpha 2(IV) collagen gene is let-2 on the X chromosome. The most severe effect of mutations in let-2 is temperature-sensitive embryonic lethality. The embryo...
متن کاملCharacterization of the c-Myb-responsive region and regulation of the human type I collagen alpha 2 chain gene by c-Myb.
We have characterized the role of c-Myb and B-Myb in the regulation of human type I collagen alpha2 chain gene expression in fibroblastic cells. We have identified four Myb-binding sites (MBSs) in the promoter. Transactivation assays on wild type and mutant promoter-reporter constructs demonstrated that c-Myb, but not B-Myb, can transactivate the human type I collagen alpha 2 chain gene promote...
متن کاملCollagen and collagenase gene expression in three-dimensional collagen lattices are differentially regulated by alpha 1 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1 integrins
The reorganization of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important function in many biological and pathophysiological processes. Culture of fibroblasts in a three-dimensional collagenous environment represents a suitable system to study the underlying mechanisms resulting from cell-ECM interaction, which leads to reprogramming of fibroblast biosynthetic capacity. The aim of this study was to iden...
