Collagen Biosynthesis

چکیده
Quantitative studies of collagen formation by chick embryonic lung tissue grown in media deficient in, or completely lacking, ascorbic acid have been carried out. Cell growth and collagen formation in such cultures can proceed almost normally in media lacking ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid in combination with whole embryo extract, dialyzed media, or synthetic mixture number 703 was found to have no appreciable effect on cell growth or total collagen formation. This is in marked contrast to the almost total failure of collagen formation in scorbutic animals and suggests that for slow collagen biosynthesis as distinct from more prolific collagen-producing systems, ascorbic acid plays an indirect role.

Differential effect of platelet-rich plasma fractions on β1-integrin signaling, collagen biosynthesis, and prolidase activity in human skin fibroblasts
The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), supernatant of PRP (SPRP) obtained by centrifugation, and supernatant of activated PRP (SActi-PRP) obtained by Ca2+ solution-treated PRP on collagen biosynthesis, prolidase activity, and β1-integrin signaling in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Incubation of fibroblasts with 5% PRP for 24 h contributed to ~5-fold inc...

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common tumour in women with a reported incidence of 25-30%. The tumors are benign, composed of smooth muscle cells with variable amount of collagen - rich fibrous tissue. It is well established that accumulation of extracellular matrix in leiomyoma is key feature of tissue fibrosis. However, the pathogenesis of leiomyoma is still unclear. The aim of this study was ...
متن کاملFluoride poisoning and the effect on collagen biosynthesis of osseus and non-osseus tissues of rabbit.
Fluoride poisoning is known to cause a debilitating condition clinically referred to as Fluorisis. The present investigation on the experimental animal model has been carried out to collect information on the precise nature of fluoride action, with special reference to collagen biosynthesis. Rabbits subjected to Fluoride poisoning for varying time intervals were administered with carbon labelle...
