To investigate whether the human pro alpha 1(I) collagen chain could form an in vivo functional interspecies heterotrimer with the mouse pro alpha 2(I) collagen chain, we introduced the human COL1A1 gene into Mov13 mice which have a functional deletion of the endogenous COL1A1 gene. Transgenic mouse strains (HucI and HucII) carrying the human COL1A1 gene were first generated by microinjecting the COL1A1 gene into wild-type mouse embryos. Genetic evidence indicated that the transgene in the HucI strain was closely linked to the endogenous mouse COL1A1 gene and was X linked in the HucII transgenic strain. Northern (RNA) blot and S1 protection analyses showed that the transgene was expressed in the appropriate tissue-specific manner and as efficiently as the endogenous COL1A1 gene. HucII mice were crossed with Mov13 mice to transfer the human transgene into the mutant strain. Whereas homozygous Mov13 embryos die between days 13 and 14 of gestation, the presence of the transgene permitted apparently normal development of the mutant embryos to birth. This indicated that the mouse-human interspecies collagen I heterotrimer was functional in the animal. The rescue was, however, only partial, as all homozygotes died within 36 h after delivery, with signs of internal bleeding. This could have been due to a functional defect in the interspecies hybrid collagen. Extensive analysis failed to reveal any biochemical or morphological abnormalities of the collagen I molecules in Mov13-HucII embryos. This may indicate that there was a subtle functional defect of the interspecies hybrid protein which was not revealed by our analysis or that another gene has been mutated by the retroviral insertion in the Mov13 mutant strain. 相似文献

Temporal and spatial gene expression of major bone extracellular matrix molecules during embryonic mandibular osteogenesis in rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It is not known how gene expression of bone extracellular matrix molecules is controlled temporally and spatially, or how it is related with morphological differentiation of osteoblasts during embryonic osteogenesis in vivo. The present study was designed to examine gene expressions of type I collagen, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin, and osteocalcin during mandibular osteogenesis using in situ hybridization. Wistar rat embryos 13–20 days post coitum were used. The condensation of mesenchymal cells was formed in 14-day rat embryonic mandibles and expressed genes of pro-(I) collagen, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein and osteopontin. Cuboidal osteoblasts surrounding the uncalcified bone matrix were seen as early as in 15-day embryonic mandibles, while flat osteoblasts lining the surface of the calcified bone were seen from 16-day embryonic mandibles. Cuboidal osteoblasts expressed pro-1(I) collagen, osteonectin and bone sialoprotein intensely but osteopontin very weakly. In contrast, flat osteoblasts expressed osteopontin very strongly. Osteocytes expressed the extracellular matrix molecules actively, in particular, osteopontin. The present study demonstrated the distinct gene expression pattern of type I collagen, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and osteocalcin during embryonic mandibular osteogenesis in vivo. 相似文献

Despite advances in understanding the molecular basis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the mechanisms by which type I collagen mutations compromise whole bone function are not well understood. Previously, we have shown that a heterozygous type I collagen mutation is associated with increased brittleness of long bones from Mov13 transgenic mice, a model of the mild form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. In the current study, we investigated tissue-level damage processes by testing the hypothesis that the fatigue properties of Mov13 tissue were significantly compromised relative to littermate controls. We also quantified tissue structure and mineral content to explain variations in the fatigue behavior. Micro-beam specimens were machined from the anterior and posterior quadrants of Mov13 and control femurs and subjected to cyclic bending at one of four stress levels. Mov13 tissue exhibited a 22–25% reduction in tissue bending strength and a similar reductions in fatigue life and the stress level at which damage was apparent. These results provided tissue-level evidence that damage accumulation mechanisms were significantly compromised in Mov13 cortical tissue. Given that significant alterations in tissue structure were observed in Mov13 femurs, the results of this study support the idea that Mov13 femurs were brittle because alterations in tissue structure associated with the mutation interfered with normal damage processes. These results provide new insight into the pathogenesis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta and are consistent with bone behaving as a damaging composite material, where damage accumulation is central to bone fracture. 相似文献

Loss of function mutations of Perk (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3) in humans and mice cause severe neonatal developmental defects, including diabetes, growth retardation and multiple skeletal dysplasias. Comprehensive analyses on bone tissue, at the cellular and molecular level in PERK-deficient mice demonstrated that neonatal Perk-/- mice are severely osteopenic, which is caused by a deficiency in the number of mature osteoblasts, impaired osteoblast differentiation, and reduced type I collagen secretion. Impaired differentiation of osteoblasts in Perk KO mice was associated with decreased expression of Runx2 and Osterix, key regulators of osteoblast development. Reduced cell proliferation and reduced expression of key cell cycle factors including cyclin D, cyclin E, cyclin A, Cdc2, and CDK2 occur in parallel with the differentiation defect in mutant osteoblasts. In addition, the trafficking and secretion of type I collagen is compromised as manifested by abnormal retention of procollagen I in the endoplasmic reticulum, and reduced mature collagen production and mineralization. Taken together, these studies identify PERK as a novel regulator of skeletal development and osteoblast biology. 相似文献

Thirteen mouse substrains genetically transmitting the exogenous Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) at a single locus (Mov locus) have been derived previously. Experiments were performed to investigate whether homozygosity at the Mov loci would be compatible with normal development. Animals heterozygous at an Mov locus were mated, and the genotype of the offspring was analyzed. From parents heterozygous at the loci Mov1 to Mov12, respectively, homozygous offspring were obtained with the expected Mendelian frequency. In contrast, no homozygous offspring or embryos older than day 15 of gestation were obtained from parents heterozygous at the Mov13 locus. When pregnant Mov13 females at day 13 and day 14 of gestation were analyzed, approximately 25% of the embryos were degenerated. Genotyping revealed that these degenerated embryos were invariably homozygous and the normal appearing embryos were either heterozygous or negative for M-MuLV. These results suggest that integration of M-MuLV at the Mov13 locus leads to insertion mutagenesis, resulting in embryonic arrest between day 12 and day 13 of gestation. It is possible that the Mov13 locus represents a gene or gene complex involved in the early embryonic development of the mouse. 相似文献

Differential expression of type I and type III collagen genes during tooth development 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Collagen gene expression during mouse molar tooth development was studied by quantitative in situ hybridization techniques. Different expression patterns of type I and type III collagen mRNAs were observed in the various mesenchymal tissues that constitute the tooth germ. High concentration for pro-alpha 1(I) and pro-alpha 2(I) collagen mRNAs were found within the osteoblasts. We found that the cellular content of type I collagen mRNAs in the odontoblasts varies throughout the tooth formation: whereas mRNA concentration for pro-alpha 1(I) collagen decreases and that of pro-alpha 2(I) increases, during postnatal development. Moreover, different amounts of pro-alpha 1(I) and pro-alpha 2(I) collagen mRNAs were observed in crown and root odontoblasts, respectively. Type III collagen mRNAs were detected in most of the mesenchymal cells, codistributed with type I collagen mRNAs, except in odontoblasts and osteoblasts. Finally, this study reports differential accumulation of collagen mRNAs during mouse tooth development and points out that type I collagen gene expression is regulated by distinct mechanisms during odontoblast differentiation process. These results support the independent expression of the collagen genes under developmental tissue-specific control. 相似文献

Interstitial collagens are thought to mediate epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during organogenesis. We have used the collagen I-deficient mouse mutant Mov13 to directly investigate the role of this major representative of the interstitial collagens in epithelial branching morphogenesis. Since homozygous embryos die at midgestation, we have studied the development of organ rudiments from Mov13 homozygous (i.e., collagen I-deficient), heterozygous, and wild-type embryos in culture. Development of all explants, including lung, kidney, salivary glands, pancreas, and skin, was normal by light and electron microscopic criteria and was independent of the genotype of the donor embryo. Metabolic labeling and immune staining verified the complete absence of collagen I in homozygous explants while revealing substantial production of collagens III and V in explants of all three genotypes. These results indicate either that collagen I has no role in the morphogenesis of these organs, or that its function is shared, or can be substituted for, by other fibrillar collagens. 相似文献

Here we report the structural and functional studies of collagen from the Brtl mouse, a heterozygous knock-in model for Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which has a G349C substitution introduced in one col1a1 allele. We observed that 25+/-5% of alpha 1(I) chains in different tissues and in different extracts from matrix deposited by cultured cells were S-S-linked mutant dimers. Apparently mutant and normal molecules are equally well incorporated into the matrix and they form mature covalent crosslinks with the same efficiency. We found different extents of post-translational overmodification of mutant molecules in different tissues, but we found no consistent differences between lethal and non-lethal animals. We did not detect any changes in the thermal stability or rate of thermal denaturation of mutant collagen. We also did not detect any changes in collagen-collagen recognition and interactions except for disruption of quasi-crystalline lateral packing of molecules in tendons from some, mostly prepubertal, mutant animals. In contrast, alpha 1(I)(3) collagen from the oim mouse--the only other non-lethal murine OI model studied by similar techniques--has altered stability, fibrillogenesis, collagen-collagen interactions and produces a more consistent and more pronounced disruption of tendon crystallinity. Nevertheless, while the G349C substitution causes moderate or lethal OI, heterozygous oim mice are much less affected. Overall, our results suggest that OI symptoms and phenotype variation in G349C animals are related to abnormal interactions of mutant collagen helices with other matrix molecules or abnormal function of osteoblasts rather than to abnormal structure, physical properties or interactions between mutant collagen helices. 相似文献

Lumican is a major proteoglycan component of the bone matrix. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

MC3T3-E1 mouse calvaria cells are a clonal population of committed osteoprogenitors that in the presence of appropriate supplements form a mineralized bone matrix. The development of the MC3T3-E1 cells can be divided into three major stages, namely, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. Recently, using the cDNA microarray technology we found lumican to be abundantly expressed during the mineralization and differentiation stages of the MC3T3-E1 development and not during the proliferation stage. Lumican has been shown to play essential roles in regulating collagen fibril formation in different extracellular matrices but its expression in the developing bone matrix remains elusive. By examining the expression profile of this gene during the different stages of MC3T3-E1 development, utilizing the 'real-time' PCR technology, we observed that the expression of lumican increases as the osteoblast culture differentiates and matures, suggesting that lumican may be involved in regulating collagen fibrillogenesis in bone matrices. Using immunostaining, we observed that during the early embryonic development of mouse (E11 to E13), lumican is mainly expressed in the cartilaginous matrices. However, in the older embryos (E14 to E16), the expression of lumican is more prominent in the developing bone matrices. Our data suggest that lumican is a significant proteoglycan component of bone matrix, which is secreted by differentiating and mature osteoblasts only and therefore it can be used as a marker to distinguish proliferating pre-osteoblasts from the differentiating osteoblasts. 相似文献

Mov13 fibroblasts, which do not express endogenous alpha 1(I) collagen chains due to a retroviral insertion, were used to study the role of type I collagen in the process of fibronectin fibrillogenesis. While Mov13 cells produced a sparse matrix containing short fibronectin fibrils, transfection with a wild type pro alpha 1(I) collagen gene resulted in the production of an extensive matrix containing fibronectin fibrils of normal length. To study the amino acids involved in the fibronectin-collagen interaction, mutations were introduced into the known fibronectin binding region of the pro alpha 1(I) collagen gene. Substitution of Gln and Ala at positions 774 and 777 of the alpha 1(I) chain for Pro resulted in the formation of short fibronectin fibrils similar to what was observed in untransfected Mov13 cells. Type I collagen carrying these substitutions bound weakly to fibronectin- sepharose and could be eluted off with 1 M urea. The effect of this mutation on fibronectin fibrillogenesis could be rescued by adding either type I collagen or a peptide fragment (CB.7) which contained the wild type fibronectin binding region of the alpha 1(I) chain to the cell culture. These results suggest that fibronectin fibrillogenesis in tissue culture is dependent on type I collagen synthesis, and define an important role for the fibronectin binding site in this process. 相似文献
