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.

In order to characterize the consequences for the process of endochondral ossification we performed an immunohistochemical study and compared the expression of collagen type I, II and X as markers of cartilage differentiation and Ki-67 as a marker of ...

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.

Among the proteins of the human body, collagen accounts for at least 25–45% collagen; it is an essential structural component of skeletal tissues, connective tissue of internal organs (heart, intestines, lungs, liver, kidneys), as well as blood vessels ...

How Hydration Weakens Collagen: A Mesoscale Energy Decomposition of Type I and Type II Fibrils
Highlights • A hydration-dependent model quantifies collagen fibrils’ cohesion.• The first quantitative energy decomposition of Type I and Type II collagen fibrils is presented.• Type II collagen fibrils’ cohesion is 27% lower than that of Type I ...

Collagen type IX: Evidence for covalent linkages to type II collagen in cartilage
A major site of pyridinoline cross‐linking in bovine type IX collagen was traced to a tryptic peptide derived from one of the molecule's HMW chains. This peptide gave two amino acid sequences (in ratio) consistent with it being a three‐chained structure.

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 ...
