Non-fibrillar collagens: Key mediators of post-infarction cardiac remodeling?
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2010Cardiac remodeling is accelerated during pathological conditions and several anabolic and catabolic regulators work in concert to repair the myocardium and maintain its functionality. The fibroblasts play a major role in this process via collagen deposition as well as supplying the degradative matrix metalloproteinases.

A 200-amino acid long motif first recognized in von Willebrand Factor (type A module) has been found in components of the extracellular matrix, hemostasis, cellular adhesion, and immune defense mechanisms. At present the extracellular matrix is the predominant site of expression of type A modules since at least four non-fibrillar collagens and two non ...

In invertebrates, members of the collagen family have been found in various phyla. Surprisingly, in mollusc, little is known about such molecules. In this study, we characterize the full-length abalone type IV collagen and we analysed its biological effects on human fibroblast in order to gain insights about this molecule in molluscs and particularly ...

Role of Non-Fibrillar Collagens in Matrix Assemblies
1993Extracellular matrices are composed of macromolecular components that interact to form highly complex supramolecular structures. Among these components are collagen fibrils. The fibrils represent tissue elements of high tensile strength, and their tissue-dependent three-dimensional patterns provide tissues with characteristic mechanical properties ...

The mechanical properties of soft connective tissues are governed by their collagen fiber network and surrounding non-fibrillar matrix (e.g., proteoglycans, cells, elastin, etc.). In order to understand how healthy tissues function, and how properties change in injury and disease, it is necessary to quantify the mechanical response of both the collagen

Fibrillar and Non-fibrillar Collagens and Integrins
2010This chapter describes the isolation and amino acid composition of the common type of collagen fiber polypeptides and how they associate into collagen fibers (Sect. 1). A description of how collagen fibers are stabilized by crosslinking then follows (Sect. 2). The non-fibrillar class of collagen is described, along with its role in modifying fibers and

Collagens can be divided into two groups, i.e., fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagens. Short-chain collagens, a subgroup of non-fibrillar collagens, comprises collagen type VIII and type X. These two collagen types show several similarities in structure and possibly also in function.

Journal de la Societe de biologie, 2003
The name matricryptin was proposed by Davis et al. (2000) for enzymatic fragments of extracellular matrix containing exposed matricryptic sites. The exposure of these sites occurred after structural or conformational modifications. Matricryptins derived from non fibrillar collagens (IV, VIII, XV and XVIII) and from matrix metalloproteinase-2 inhibit ...
