Binding assays of 125I-labeled affinity-purified monospecific type I and III procollagen antibodies to fibroblasts have revealed the presence of type I and III procollagens on the cell surface, and that the amount of type III procollagen is 10 times greater than that of type I procollagen. Analyses by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy after treatment with an isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated second antibody supported this finding. 相似文献

Bleomycin-induced synthesis of type I procollagen by human lung and skin fibroblasts in culture 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Bleomycin is a chemotherapeutic agent sometimes associated with pulmonary fibrosis and skin lesions in patients undergoing treatment. We examined the mechanisms of increased collagen deposition on bleomycin-induced fibrosis by incubating human lung and skin fibroblast cultures with [14C]proline; the synthesis of [14C]hydroxyproline relative to DNA or cell protein was taken as an index of procollagen formation. Procollagen synthesis by lung cells in the presence of 0.1 and 1.0 microgram/ml bleomycin was significantly increased and similar results were obtained with skin fibroblasts. The relative synthesis of genetically distinct types of collagen was measured by isolating the newly synthesized type I and type III procollagens by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The proportion of type III procollagen of total newly synthesized procollagen in control lung fibroblast cultures was 17.4 +/0 0.6% (mean +/- S.E.) while the corresponding value in cells incubated in 1 microgram/ml bleomycin was 12.5 +/- 0.6% (n = 6, P < 0.01). Similar results were obtained when the ratios of newly synthesized type I and type III collagens were estimated by interrupted polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate after a limited proteolytic digestion with pepsin. The results indicate that the increased procollagen synthesis induced by bleomycin in fibroblast cultures is predominantly directed towards the synthesis of type I procollagen. 相似文献

The synthesis and secretion of type IV procollagen, in addition to that of procollagen types I and III, was detected in cells derived from human embryonic lung (WI-38) by immunofluorescence, metabolic labeling, immunoprecipitation, collagenase digestion and the characteristic polypeptide sizes of both intact procollagen type IV chains and their initial pepsin-resistant fragments as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Locally obtained human embryonic lung cells secreted the same procollagens, but neither embryonic nor adult human skin fibroblasts were found to secrete type IV procollagen in amounts detectable by the same methods. 相似文献

Interferon-alpha and interferon-gamma reduce excessive collagen synthesis and procollagen mRNA levels of scleroderma fibroblasts in culture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of interferon-alpha and interferon-gamma on collagen synthesis and mRNA levels of type I and type III procollagens were studied in skin fibroblasts cultured from affected and unaffected skin sites of two patients with localized scleroderma (morphea). Both scleroderma cell lines exhibited elevated type I and type III procollagen mRNA levels to account for the increased procollagen synthesis, when compared to the unaffected controls. Interferon-gamma treatment resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in collagen synthesis and procollagen mRNA levels in scleroderma fibroblasts. A 72-h exposure to interferon-gamma reduced procollagen mRNA levels in the scleroderma fibroblast lines to the levels exhibited by the unaffected control fibroblasts. The suppressive effect of interferon-alpha on procollagen mRNA levels was somewhat weaker than that of interferon-gamma. The results suggest potential use of interferon-gamma in treatment and prevention of human fibrotic conditions. 相似文献

Synthesis of types I and III procollagen and collagen by monkey aortic smooth muscle cells in vitro. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Analysis of pepsin-resistant proteins produced in culture by monkey aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) indicates the synthesis of types I and III collagen. As determined by carboxymethylcellulose chromatography and disc gel electrophoresis, SMC cultures synthesize more type III collagen than monkey skin fibroblast cultures; aortic adventitial cell cultures (a mixture of SMC and fibroblasts) synthesize an intermediate amount of type III collagen. Both types I and III procollagens can also be isolated from the culture medium of SMC and skin fibroblasts. The procollagens were separated by diethylaminoethylcellulose (DEAE-cellulose) chromatography in identified by electrophoresis and after cleavage with pepsin and cyanogen bromide. Quantitation of the procollagen by DEAE-cellulose chromatography suggests that 68% of the SMC procollagens and less than 10% of the skin fibroblast procollagens are type III. On the other hand, estimation of the proportions of collagen types secreted by cells, employing pepsin digestion of cell culture medium at 15 degrees C, leads to an underestimation of the amount of type III collagen relative to type I. SMC and fibroblasts may differ in their ability to convert type I procollagen to collagen ad indicated by the observation that skin fibroblast culture medium contains both pN and pC collagen intermediates after 24 h, while cultures of SMC essentially lack the pC collagen intermediates. 相似文献

The effects of interferon-α and interferon-γ on collagen synthesis and mRNA levels of type I and type III procollagens were studied in skin fibroblasts cultured from affected and unaffected skin sites of two patients with localized scleroderma (morphea). Both scleroderma cell lines exhibited elevated type I and type III procollagen mRNA levels to account for the increased procollagen synthesis, when compared to the unaffected controls. Interferon-γ treatment resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in collagen synthesis and procollagen mRNA levels in scleroderma fibroblasts. A 72-h exposure to interferon-γ reduced procollagen mRNA levels in the scleroderma fibroblast lines to the levels exhibited by the unaffected control fibroblasts. The suppressive effect of interferon-α on procollagen mRNA levels was somewhat weaker than that of interferon-γ. The results suggest potential use of interferon-γ in treatment and prevention of human fibrotic conditions. 相似文献

Hybridomas which secrete monoclonal antibodies against human type III procollagen have been developed. By an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, three of the monoclonal antibodies have been determined to be against non-helical extensions of the molecules while two of the antibodies are against helical portion of the molecules which is sensitive to bacterial collagenase action. These findings have been further confirmed by carrying out immuno-reaction of the pro α-chains transferred on nitrocellulose paper from sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels. These monoclonal antibodies have been found to be suitable reagents for immunohistochemical studies as well as for immunoassays of type III procollagen and collagen. 相似文献

Frozen sections of the growing end of the rat incisor tooth were exposed to antisera or affinity prepared antibodies against partially purified type I, II, or IV procollagen in the hope of detecting the location of the corresponding antigens by the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase technique. The distribution of immunostaining was similar with antisera as with purified antibodies of a given type, but differed for each type; that is, predentin, odontoblasts, pulp and periodontal tissue were the sites of type I; blood vessel walls, pulp and periodontal tissue, of type III; and basement membranes, of type IV antigenicity. It was demonstrated, at least in cases of type I and III, that immunostaining detected the corresponding procollagens and related substances, but not the corresponding collagens. The interpretation of these observations is that: 1) odontoblasts elaborate procollagen I for release to predentin and subsequent transformation to dentinal collagen I; 2) pulp and periodontal cells produce procollagens I and III which presumably become collagens I and III respectively, while the adventitial cells of blood vessels give rise to collagen III; and 3) procollagen IV is associated with basement membranes and, occasionally, adjacent cells. 相似文献

Isolation and partial characterization of the amino-terminal propeptide of type II procollagen from chick embryos 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The amino-terminal propeptide from type II procollagen was isolated from organ cultures of sternal cartilages from 17-day-old chick embryos. The procedure provided the first isolation of the propeptide in amounts adequate for chemical characterization. The propeptide had an apparent molecular weight of 18000 as estimated by gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. It contained a collagen-like domain as demonstrated by its amino acid composition, circular dichroism spectrum, and susceptibility to bacterial collagenase. One residue of hydroxylysine was present, the first time this amino acid has been detected in a propeptide. The peptide contained no methionine and only two residues of half-cystine. Antibodies were prepared to the propeptide and were used to establish its identity. The antibodies precipitated type II procollagen but did not precipitate type II procollagen from which the amino and carboxy propeptides were removed with pepsin. Also, they did not precipitate the carboxy propeptide of type II procollagen. The data demonstrated th at the type II amino propeptide was similar to the amino propeptides of type I and type III procollagens in that it contained a collagen-like domain. It differed, however, in that it lacked a globular domain as large as the globular domain of 77-86 residues found at the amino-terminal ends of the pro alpha 1 chains of type I and type III procollagens. 相似文献

Subpopulations of rat lung fibroblasts with different amounts of type I and type III collagen mRNAs 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A fluorescence-based method using the cell sorter has been devised to separate rat lung fibroblasts into subpopulations. Type I or type III collagen antiserum was used as the primary antibody to react with parent rat lung fibroblasts. This was followed by a fluorescein-conjugated secondary antibody. Specificity of the primary collagen antibody was determined using a monoclonal beta-actin antibody and purified IgG as the primary antibodies. The fluorescent shift of parent rat lung fibroblasts was optimized for the amount of primary collagen antibody and secondary fluorescein-conjugated antibody. An increase in slot blot intensity was observed for pro-alpha 1(I), pro-alpha 2(I), and pro-alpha 1(III) mRNAs with increasing amounts of cellular RNA. When precipitating with type I collagen antibodies, the total cellular steady-state levels of type I procollagen mRNAs were increased in the high intensity cells as compared with the low intensity cells. Alternately, when the type III collagen antibodies were used to precipitate the rat lung fibroblasts, the low intensity cells had increased type I procollagen mRNAs while the high intensity cells had increased type III procollagen mRNA. The subpopulations of rat lung fibroblasts after isolation using the fluorescent cell sorter were readily propagated for at least four passages. 相似文献

Overlapping cDNA clones were isolated for human type II procollagen. Nucleotide sequencing of the clones provided over 2.5 kb of new coding sequences for the human pro alpha 1(II) gene and the first complete amino acid sequence of type II procollagen from any species. Comparison with published data for cDNA clones covering the entire lengths of the human type I and type III procollagens made it possible to compare in detail the coding sequences and primary structures of the three most abundant human fibrillar collagens. The results indicated that the marked preference in the third base codons for glycine, proline and alanine previously seen in other fibrillar collagens was maintained in type II procollagen. The domains of the pro alpha 1(II) chain are about the same size as the same domains of the pro alpha chains of type I and type III procollagens. However, the major triple-helical domain is 15 amino acid residues less than the triple-helical domain of type III procollagen. Comparison of hydropathy profiles indicated that the alpha chain domain of type II procollagen is more similar to the alpha chain domain of the pro alpha 1(I) chain than to the pro alpha 2(I) chain or the pro alpha 1(III) chain. The results therefore suggest that selective pressure in the evolution of the pro alpha 1(II) and pro alpha 1(I) genes is more similar than the selective pressure in the evolution of the pro alpha 2(I) and pro alpha 1(III) genes. 相似文献

Excessive accumulation of collagen is the hallmark of several clinical conditions characterized by tissue fibrosis. Previously, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, a structural analog of alpha-ketoglutarate and ascorbate, has been shown to inhibit the activity of purified prolyl 4-hydroxylase, the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of 4-hydroxyproline during intracellular biosynthesis of procollagen. In this study a hydrophobic modification, an ethyl ester, of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid was tested for its effects on collagen synthesis and prolyl hydroxylase activity in human skin fibroblast cultures. The results indicated that 0.4 mM ethyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzoate markedly inhibited the synthesis of 4-hydroxyproline in normal cell cultures apparently as a result of reduced prolyl 4-hydroxylase activity, and the synthesis and secretion of both type I and type III procollagens were markedly reduced. Control experiments indicated that the test compound did not affect the viability, proliferation, or plating efficiency of the cells, and it had little, if any, effect on the synthesis of noncollagenous proteins. Furthermore, determinations of type I and type III procollagen mRNA steady-state levels by slot-blot hybridizations suggested that the inhibition of procollagen production did not occur on the pretranslational level. Thus, ethyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzoate selectively reduced procollagen production in fibroblast cultures by inhibiting the post-translational synthesis of 4-hydroxyproline. Similar inhibition was also observed in keloid fibroblast cultures, demonstrating the potential applicability of ethyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, or other structural alpha-ketoglutarate or ascorbate analogs, for treatment of fibrotic diseases. 相似文献

Glucocorticoids selectively decrease procollagen synthesis in animal and human skin fibroblasts. beta-Actin content and beta-actin mRNA are not affected by glucocorticoid treatment of chick skin fibroblasts. The inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on procollagen synthesis is associated with a decrease in total cellular type I procollagen mRNAs in chick skin fibroblasts. These effects of dexamethasone are receptor mediated as determined by pretreatment with the glucocorticoid antagonists progesterone and RU-486 and with the agonist beta-dihydrocortisol. Dexamethasone has a small but significant inhibitory effect on cell growth of chick skin fibroblasts. The ability of this corticosteroid to decrease the steady-state levels of type I procollagen mRNAs in nuclei, cytoplasm, and polysomes varies. The largest decrease of type I procollagen mRNAs is observed in the nuclear and cytoplasmic subcellular fractions 24 h after dexamethasone treatment. Type I procollagen hnRNAs are also decreased as determined by Northern blot analysis of total nuclear RNA. The synthesis of total cellular type I procollagen mRNAs is reversibly decreased by dexamethasone treatment. In addition the synthesis of total nuclear type I procollagen mRNA sequences is decreased at 2, 4, and 24 h following the addition of radioactive nucleoside and dexamethasone to cell cultures. Although the synthesis of pro alpha 1(I) and pro alpha 2(I) mRNAs is decreased in dexamethasone-treated chick skin fibroblasts, the degradation of the total cellular procollagen mRNAs is not altered while the degradation of total cellular RNA is stabilized. These data indicate that the dexamethasone-mediated decrease of procollagen synthesis in embryonic chick skin fibroblasts results from the regulation of procollagen gene expression. 相似文献

Procollagen from the culture medium of human foreskin fibroblasts is efficiently adsorbed on controlled-pore glass (CPG) beads. Elution of adsorbed protease(s), capable of procollagen degradation, is accomplished with 1 m phosphate. This allows subsequent purification steps to be accomplished without detectable degradation of the high-molecular-weight procollagen form which is subsequently eluted with 1 m Tris. Analysis of the Tris elution fraction from CPG beads by sodium dodecyl sulfate-agarose-polyacrylamide electrophoresis on 2% gels indicated that the majority of protein is types I and III procollagens and partially processed intermediates. Types I and III procollagens were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and presumptive undegraded type I procollagen was resolved from processed forms by molecular sieve chromatography in 1 m CaCl2 on agarose beads. The high-molecular-weight type I human procollagen isolated by this method was found to contain both amino and carboxy-terminal propeptides. Two α1 and one α2 procollagen chains, disulfide bonded via the carboxy-terminal propeptides, are present per molecule. This procedure represents an efficient and relatively rapid method for preparing human procollagen in sufficient quantity for detailed chemical analysis. 相似文献

The kinetic constants were examined for the cleavage of several types of procollagen by type I/II procollagen N-proteinase. The Km values were essentially the same (0.2 microM) for chick type I procollagen, human type I procollagen, and chick type II procollagen. However, the Vmax values differed over a 14-fold range. As reported previously, the enzyme did not cleave denatured type I or II procollagen. Also, it did not cleave human type III procollagen which contains the same scissle -Pro-Gln- bond as the pro-alpha 1(I) chain of type I procollagen. To explain the observations, Chou-Fasman rules were used to compare the secondary structures of the cleavage sites in the procollagens. The results supported a previous suggestion (Helseth, D. L., Jr., Lechner, J. L., and Veis, A. (1979) Biopolymers 18, 3005-3014) that the region carboxyl-terminal to cleavage site in the pro-alpha 1(I) chain of type I procollagen was in a hairpin conformation consisting of a beta-sheet, beta-turn, and beta-sheet. In both chick and human type I procollagen, the hairpin loop in the pro-alpha 1(I) chain consisted of about 18 amino acids. The cleavage site itself was in a short alpha-helical structure of four or five amino acids. The pro-alpha 2(I) chains had a similar hairpin loop of about 14 amino acids and alpha-helix of four or five amino acids containing the cleavage site. Chick type II procollagen, which had the highest Vmax value, had a longer hairpin structure of 22 amino acids, and the cleavage site was in a longer alpha-helical domain of 10 amino acids. In contrast, type III procollagen had a random-coil conformation in the same region. The results help to explain the unusual substrate requirements of type I/II N-proteinase. They also help explain why mutations that produce in-frame deletions of amino acids 84 or more residues carboxyl-terminal to the cleavage site make the protein resistant to the enzyme. 相似文献

Summary The aim of this study was to assess and compare the accumulation and distribution of newly synthesized type I and III collagens in usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and pulmonary sarcoidosis. Lung biopsies from 10 patients with UIP and 13 patients with sarcoidosis were investigated by immunohistochemical technique and mRNA in situ hybridization. The antibodies for the aminoterminal propeptide of type I procollagen and the aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PINP and PIIINP, respectively) were used. When compared to healthy lung, levels of type I pN- and type III pN-collagens were increased in both of these disorders. Type I procollagen was mostly present as intracellular spots in newly formed fibrosis in UIP while type III pN-collagen was expressed extracellularly underneath metaplastic alveolar epithelium. Type I procollagen was present intracellularly within and around the granulomas of sarcoidosis, whereas type III pN-collagen was expressed extracellularly, mainly around the granulomas. mRNAs of both collagens colocalized with the precursor proteins. We conclude that the expression of precursor proteins and mRNA of type I and type III collagens is increased in UIP and sarcoidosis, reflecting mainly active synthesis of these collagens in different areas of the lung. 相似文献

Chain assembly intermediate in the biosynthesis of type III procollagen in chick embryo blood vessels 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

A general mechanism for the assembly of procollagens is proposed from a biosynthetic study of procollagen III. This was shown to proceed by a stepwise process punctuated by disulfide bond formation and an assembly intermediate was recovered. The biosynthesis of type III procollagen in excised chick embryo blood vessels was studied by radioactive labeling for 30 min. Velocity sedimentation under denaturing conditions and purified antibodies specific against bovine amino propeptide III were used to identify and characterize monomeric pro alpha 1 III chains and a type III procollagen intermediate which is interchain disulfide-linked only at the carboxyl end but not at the amino end. The monomeric chains presumably have intrachain disulfide bonds within the propeptides. The monomeric pro alpha 1 III chains were also found when alpha, alpha'-dipyridyl was present during incubation. Pulse-chase experiments show that the monomeric chains and the intermediate are biosynthetic precursors of type III procollagen. Furthermore, it is shown that monomeric pro alpha 1 chains are not triple helical when extracted under nondenaturing conditions. The results indicate that the assembly of pro alpha 1 III chains into type III procollagen starts with the association of the folded carboxyl propeptides and is followed by formation of disulfide bonds between carboxyl propeptides, folding of the triple helix, and formation of disulfide bonds between amino propeptides. All procollagens may follow a similar assembly sequence. 相似文献

Bleomycin treatment of primary chick skin fibroblasts and chick lung fibroblasts resulted in a selective dose-dependent increase of cell layer procollagen synthesis. Solid support hybridization of total cellular RNA to 32P-labeled pro-alpha 1(I) and pro-alpha 2(I) cDNAs did not indicate an increase of total cellular procollagen type I mRNAs in bleomycin-treated cells. However, bleomycin treatment of chick skin fibroblasts causes a redistribution of procollagen type I mRNAs within the nuclear, cytoplasmic, and polysomal subcellular fractions. Both the nuclear and cytoplasmic procollagen type I mRNAs are significantly decreased in concentration after bleomycin administration. In contrast, the polysomal procollagen type I mRNAs are significantly increased in both chick skin and lung fibroblasts treated with bleomycin. Administration of dexamethasone to bleomycin-treated fibroblasts resulted in a reversal of the bleomycin-induced increase in cell layer procollagen synthesis. The increased amounts of polysomal procollagen type I mRNAs in bleomycin-treated cells were also reduced by subsequent administration of dexamethasone. These data indicate that bleomycin treatment of chick skin and chick lung fibroblasts results in a specific increase in procollagen synthesis in the cell layer which is mediated by elevated levels of polysomal type I procollagen mRNAs via a repartitioning of these mRNAs within the fibroblast. Furthermore, dexamethasone reverses the bleomycin-induced elevations of both cell layer procollagen synthesis and polysomal type I procollagen mRNAs. 相似文献
