Structure And Function Of ECM Flashcards
3 layers of basement membrane
Lamina Rara
Lamina densa
Lamina reticularis
Lamina Lucida/lamina/Rara
Some fibroid toon & specific lamin 5
Type XVII collagen from cell membrane
Lamina densa
Laminin 1, type IV collagen, Perelman, nitrogen
Lamina reticularis
Types 1, III, VII collagen
Proteoglycans
Fibronectin
Stroma
Major component of adult ECM
Located outside lamina reticularis of BM
Secreted by fibroblasts & specialized mesenchymal cells
In adult, different tissues have diff stroma like matin organization (ex: tendon, a lot..liver..little)
What’s in the stroma
Fibronectin, collagen I, III, VII, elastic fibers
How does matrix interacts with cell surface receptors
Integrin & syndecan
Integrin
Cell type specific integral membrane proteins that serve as receptors
Syndecans
Specific heparin sulfate containing proteoglycans that span cell membrane & interact with actin filaments
Basal lamina contains
Lamin in, Fibronectin, type IV collagen, heparin sulfate proteoglycans, entactin
Stroma consists of ____ cells, ___ matrix ____ connective tissue
Few cells, lots of matrix, dense irregular connective tissue
In some tissues, specialized fibroblasts secrete stroma
Structure of collagen
- triple stranded helical molecule; 3 monomer alpha chains wrapped around each other
- glycine every 3rd amino acid..small side chain fits inside
- proline, lysine, and hydroxylases forms present and contribute to helix stability (hydrogen binding)…can be delaminates to produce fibril (triple helical structures assemble into fibrils)
Collagen fiber is assembled where
Extracellularyl
Fibril forming collagens (fibrillar) (generally found in stroma)
I, II, III, V
Type I collagen
Fibrillar forming
Most abundant (90%)
Tendon, bone, lung, skin, internal organs
Polymerized form: fibril
Mutation in type I collagen
Osteogenesis imperfect a bullosa
Brittle bones
Type II collagen
Fibrillar
Polymerized: fibril
Cartilage (50% cartilage)
I vertebral disc, notochord, vitreous humor
Mutation in type II collagen
Chondrodysplasia
Type III collagen
Fibrillar
Skin, aorta (reticular collagen); stained with silver (more carbs, smaller fibrils), blood vessels, internal organs
Mutation in type III collagen
Euler-Danlos syndrome (hyperextended skin)
Susceptibility to aneurism
Fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helix
Type IX, XII
Type IX collagen
Fibril associated
Polymerized form: later all association with type II fibrils
Cartilage (decorated outside type II collagen fibrils)
Non fibrillar (“network forming”) collagens
Type IV, VII
Type IV collagen
Sheet like network
Basal lamina/lamina densa/basement membrane
