Lecture 1- Collagen Flashcards
Type I collagen is synthesized by …..
fibroblasts
osteoblasts
odontoblasts
Primary function of Type I collagen
resist tension
Type II collagen is synthesized by …..
chondroblasts
Primary function of Type II collagen
resist tension
convert compressional forces to tensile forces
Type III collagen synthesized by……
fibroblasts smooth muscle cells Schwann cells hepatocytes mesenchymal precursor cells
Primary function of Type III collagen
structural maintenance in expansible organs
wound healing
mediate attachments of tendon, ligament, periosteum to bone cortex
During the initial reparative phase, what is produced first?
Type III
what three amino acids form procollagen?
proline, lysine, glycine
How is tropocollagen molecules formed?
procollagen molecules are sent out of ER of fibroblasts into interstitial spaces where end components are removed.
Building blocks of collagen microfibrils
Tropocollagen
After _______ the polarity bonds are replaced with much stronger _________
6 months, covalent bonds
Collagen microfibril is formed by ___________
5 tropocollagen molecules
________ make up the ground substance or ECM of tendons, ligaments, and articular cartilage.
Proteoglycans
Glycosaminoglycans are monomer proteoglycans linked with various proteins to form organic sulfates _____,____,_____.
keratin
dermatin
chondroitin sulfates
GAG is produced by _______
fibroblasts
Primary function of GAG is…..
imbibing interstitial fluid
Imbibition is the primary way fluid nutrition is brought to ______
avascular tissues
tendons, ligaments, cartilage, discs
elasticity of collagen declines proportionately with…
decline of GAG
half life of GAG
1.7 to 7 days
______ is the best stimulus for fibroblastic function
tension
_______ stimulates protein synthesis, GAG, and hyaluronic acid
tension
Deep fibers pass through 4 distinct phases in transition from ligament to bone:
ligament
fibrocartilage
mineralized fibrocartilage
bone
family of proteins that mediate cell adhesion to the ECM
Integrins
Function of Integrins
- function as regulatory receptors that can activate intracellular chemical signaling pathways
- form physical associations with cytoskeleton proteins
- provide continuous path for mechanical force transfer between cells and surrounding ECM
Mechanical stimulus for maintenance and repair of blood vessels…
Hemodynamic forces
Physically interconnect with cytoskeleton to sense stresses and strains and regulates biochemical signaling events
Integrins
never stimulates cellular metabolism or collagen fibers
Immobilization
Cell growth rates are increased by…..
increased basic fibroblastic growth hormone
fibronectin
turbulent fluid shear stress
growth factor-beta-1 function
increase type I collagen synthesis in osteoblasts
regulate cartilage matrix and bone formation during remodeling
Insulin-like growth factor 1 function
stimulates collagen synthesis in bone, tendon, and fibroblasts
