Restoring type VII collagen in skin

open access: yesMed, 2022
New therapeutic hope is emerging for people with the rare inherited blistering skin disease recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Gurevich et al.1 have reported early-phase clinical trial data evaluating a topical herpes simplex virus 1 vector to restore missing type VII collagen in RDEB skin and heal wounds.

Molecular biology and pathology of type VII collagen*

Experimental Dermatology, 1992
Abstract Type VII collagen is a genetically distinct member of the collagen family of proteins. Type VII collagen has been shown to be the major component of anchoring fibrils, attachment complexes which secure the cutaneous basement membrance of the skin to the underlying dermis. Understanding of the structure of type VII collagen has been advanced by

The vWFA2 domain of type VII collagen is responsible for collagen binding

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2013
Type VII collagen (Col7) is the major component of anchoring fibrils and very important for skin integrity. This is emphasized by the Col7 related skin blistering diseases dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Structural data that provides insights into the interaction network of Col7 and thus providing a basis for a ...

Type VII collagen is a component of cylindroma basement membrane zone

open access: yesJournal of Cutaneous Pathology, 1989
Cylindroma basement membranes (BMs) were studied by electron microscopy and immunofluorescence with antibodies to Types IV and VII collagen in order to correlate the ultrastructure with the biochemical characteristics. Type IV collagen served as a marker for lamina densa structures and Type VII collagen for the anchoring fibrils. Ultrastructurally, the

Immune reactivity to type VII collagen: implications for gene therapy of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

open access: yesGene Therapy, 2010
International audienceRecessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function mutations in COL7A1 encoding type VII collagen, the component of anchoring fibrils.

Type VII Collagen in the Human Accommodation System: Expression in Ciliary Body, Zonules, and Lens Capsule [PDF]

open access: yesInvestigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2018
To investigate intraocular expression of COL7A1 and its protein product type VII collagen, particularly at the accommodation system. Eyes from 26 human adult donors were used.
