A COL2A1 Mutation in Achondrogenesis Type II Results in the Replacement of Type II Collagen by Type I and III Collagens in Cartilage [PDF]
An autosomal dominant mutation in the COL2A1 gene was identified in a fetus with achondrogenesis type II. A transition of G2853 to A in exon 41 produced a substitution of Gly769 by Ser within the triple helical domain of the alpha 1(II) chain of type II collagen, interrupting the mandatory Gly-X-Y triplet sequence required for the normal formation of ...

Chondrocyte Migration to Fibronectin, Type I Collagen, and Type II Collagen.
It is well known that cellular interactions, such as cell adhesion, migration, invasion, between cells and the extracellular matrix are mediated by the integrin family of cell surface receptors. Chondrocytes are surrounded by an abundant extracellular matrix, but there is less information on the cellular receptors which interact with this matrix.

Human COL2A1-directed SV40 T antigen expression in transgenic and chimeric mice results in abnormal skeletal development [PDF]
The ability of SV40 T antigen to cause abnormalities in cartilage development in transgenic mice and chimeras has been tested. The cis- regulatory elements of the COL2A1 gene were used to target expression of SV40 T antigen to differentiating ...

Effects of culture on PAMPS/PDMAAm double-network gel on chondrogenic differentiation of mouse C3H10T1/2 cells: in vitro experimental study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Recently, several animal studies have found that spontaneous hyaline cartilage regeneration can be induced in vivo within a large osteochondral defect by implanting a synthetic double-network (DN) hydrogel, which is composed of poly-(2 ...

The novel missense mutation Met48Lys in FKBP22 changes its structure and functions. [PDF]
Mutations in the FKBP14 gene encoding FKBP22 (FK506 Binding Protein 22 kDa) cause kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (kEDS). The first clinical report showed that a lack of FKBP22 protein due to mutations causing nonsense-mediated decay of the mRNA ...

Genotype-phenotype correlation study in 364 osteogenesis imperfecta Italian patients [PDF]
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder of the connective tissue and 90% of cases are due to dominant mutations in COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes.

Collagen type II modification by hypochlorite.
Oxidation of proteins is a common phenomenon in the inflammatory process mediated by highly reactive agents such as hypochlorite (HOCl/OCl(-)) produced by activated neutrophils. For instance, in rheumatoid arthritis hypochlorite plays an important role in joint destruction.

Juvenile arthritis and autoimmunity to type II collagen [PDF]
Joint inflammation in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is sometimes associated with an autoimmune response to type II collagen (CII), a cartilage-specific protein. To test the hypothesis that down-regulation of autoimmunity to CII can be accomplished in JRA by oral administration of CII, an open-label study of CII was performed in 9 patients with ...
