Adjuvant polyarthritis. vii. The role of type ii collagen in pathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatism, 1982
AbstractThe development of immune response in rats directed toward EL4 cells, after the injection of EL4 cells suspended in a saline/oil emulsion, was enhanced by the incorporation of Mycobacterium into the saline/oil emulsion; the incorporation of type II collagen into the saline–acetic acid/oil emulsion in concentrations ranging from 0.5–25 μg/ml had

Topography and mechanical properties of single molecules of type I collagen using atomic force microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Although the mechanical behavior of tendon and bone has been studied for decades, there is still relatively little understanding of the molecular basis for their specific properties.

Normal Molecular Weight of Type VII Collagen Produced by Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Keratinocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Studies of the recessive dystrophic form of epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) have suggested that an abnormality in type VII collagen may be involved in the pathogenesis of this disorder.

Cardiac valve disease: an unreported feature in Ehlers Danlos syndrome arthrocalasia type?

open access: yesItalian Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) athrocalasia type (type VII), is characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility and tissue fragility. No heart involvement has been reported. Two forms have been described: type VII A and VII B.

Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Antibodies to citrulline-modifi ed proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear.

The hinge region of type VII collagen is intrinsically disordered

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2014
Type VII collagen (Col7) is important for skin integrity. As a major component of the anchoring fibrils, Col7 is essential for linking different skin layers together. The central collagenous domain of Col7 contains several interruptions of the collagen triple helix.

A Gene Gun-mediated Nonviral RNA trans-splicing Strategy for Col7a1 Repair

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016
RNA trans-splicing represents an auspicious option for the correction of genetic mutations at RNA level. Mutations within COL7A1 causing strong reduction or absence of type VII collagen are associated with the severe skin blistering disease dystrophic ...

Visualization and phenotyping of proinflammatory antigen-specific T cells during collagen-induced arthritis in a mouse with a fixed collagen type II-specific transgenic T-cell receptor beta-chain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Introduction: The Vbeta12-transgenic mouse was previously generated to investigate the role of antigen-specific T cells in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. This mouse expresses a transgenic collagen type II (CII)

Extracellular matrix remodeling and immune reprogramming drive residual tumor progression of liver cancer after incomplete microwave ablation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Incomplete microwave ablation (iMWA) of liver cancer triggers a biphasic progression in residual tumors. At Day 3, the microenvironment is characterized by acute inflammatory responses and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. By Day 14, a profound shift occurs toward oncogenic signal transduction and immunosuppression, marked by macrophage ...
