The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
Historically, a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, etc. This classification was based on the notion that "collagen" was equivalent to "connective tissue", but with the present recognition of the different types of collagen and the aggregates derived from them as distinct entities, the term "collagen diseases" now pertains exclusively to those inherited conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly.

Proteinases of the bone morphogenetic protein-1 family convert procollagen VII to mature anchoring fibril collagen. (1/98)

Collagen VII is the major structural component of the anchoring fibrils at the dermal-epidermal junction in the skin. It is secreted by keratinocytes as a precursor, procollagen VII, and processed into mature collagen during polymerization of the anchoring fibrils. We show that bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1), which exhibits procollagen C-proteinase activity, cleaves the C-terminal propeptide from human procollagen VII. The cleavage occurs at the BMP-1 consensus cleavage site SYAA/DTAG within the NC-2 domain. Mammalian tolloid-like (mTLL)-1 and -2, two other proteases of the astacin enzyme family, were able to process procollagen VII at the same site in vitro. Immunohistochemical and genetic evidence supported the involvement of these enzymes in cleaving type VII procollagen in vivo. Both BMP-1 and mTLL-1 are expressed in the skin and in cultured cutaneous cells. A naturally occurring deletion in the human COL7A1 gene, 8523del14, which is associated with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and eliminates the BMP-1 consensus sequence, abolished processing of procollagen VII, and in mutant skin procollagen VII accumulated at the dermal-epidermal junction. On the other hand, deficiency of BMP-1 in the skin of knockout mouse embryos did not prevent processing of procollagen VII to mature collagen, suggesting that mTLL-1 and/or mTLL-2 can substitute for BMP-1 in the processing of procollagen VII in situ.  (+info)

The majority of keratinocytes incorporate intradermally injected plasmid DNA regardless of size but only a small proportion of cells can express the gene product. (2/98)

The expression of intradermally injected DNA by keratinocytes is found mainly in the upper and middle layers of the epidermis. To investigate the mechanism of this selective expression, we observed the sequential changes in the distribution of interleukin-6-expressing keratinocytes after the introduction of the interleukin-6 gene. Transgene expression first occurred in basal keratinocytes and subsequently expanded to all epidermal layers and then remained in the upper layers. Semiquantitative analysis indicated that keratinocytes in the lower layers incorporated and lost DNA earlier than those in the upper layers. In order to examine the effect of the DNA size on the transgene expression, we constructed a plasmid containing a full-length 9 kb cDNA of type VII collagen and introduced it into keratinocytes. The expression pattern of type VII collagen in the epidermis was the same as those for smaller genes. This suggests that plasmid size has little or no effect on the expression pattern of the transfected gene. To trace the introduced plasmid, we intradermally injected a green fluorescence protein expression plasmid coupled with a rhodamine flag. Almost all keratinocytes in the injected areas showed rhodamine fluorescence. Furthermore, some cells also expressed green fluorescence protein. A lack of rhodamine fluorescence in the nucleus suggested an impairment of plasmid DNA transport from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Collectively, our results show that the majority of keratinocytes take up the intradermally injected DNA regardless of its size, but that the transfer of DNA from the cytoplasm to the nucleus is limiting the transgene expression.  (+info)

The epidermolysis bullosa acquisita antigen (type VII collagen) is present in human colon and patients with crohn's disease have autoantibodies to type VII collagen. (3/98)

Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin characterized by IgG autoantibodies against type VII collagen. Systemic diseases are often associated with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, Crohn's disease being the most frequent. This study sought to determine if type VII collagen, the epidermolysis bullosa acquisita autoantigen, was present in normal human colon by western blotting and immunofluorescence. The 290 kDa type VII collagen alpha chain was demonstrated by western blotting in four normal intraoperative colon specimens. Antibodies to type VII collagen labeled the junction between the intestinal epithelium and the lamina propria. We also used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to test sera from patients with Crohn's disease (n = 19), ulcerative colitis (n = 31), celiac disease (n = 17), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 15), and normal controls (n = 16). It was found that 13 of 19 patients with Crohn's disease and four of 31 patients with ulcerative colitis demonstrated reactivity to type VII collagen. Sera from control subjects, patients with celiac disease or rheumatoid arthritis were negative. The sera from Crohn's disease patients also reacted with type VII collagen by immunoblot analysis. It was concluded that patients with inflammatory bowel disease may have IgG autoantibodies to type VII collagen, which exists in both the skin and the gut.  (+info)

Autoantibodies to type VII collagen mediate Fcgamma-dependent neutrophil activation and induce dermal-epidermal separation in cryosections of human skin. (4/98)

Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease associated with autoantibodies to type VII collagen, the major constituent of anchoring fibrils. Previous attempts to demonstrate the blister-inducing potential of autoantibodies to this protein have failed. To address this question, we used an in vitro model involving cryosections of human skin incubated with patients' autoantibodies and leukocytes from healthy donors. We show that sera from 14 of 16 epidermolysis bullosa acquisita patients, in contrast to sera from healthy controls, induced dermal-epidermal separation in the cryosections. Recruitment and activation of neutrophils at the dermal-epidermal junction was necessary for split induction, whereas mononuclear cells were not required. Importantly, patients' autoantibodies affinity-purified against a recombinant form of the noncollagenous 1 domain of type VII collagen retained their blister-inducing capacity in a dose-dependent manner, whereas patients' IgG that was depleted of reactivity to type VII collagen lost this ability. Monoclonal antibody LH7.2 to the noncollagenous 1 domain of type VII collagen also induced subepidermal splits in the cryosections; F(ab')(2) fragments of autoantibodies to type VII collagen were not pathogenic. We demonstrate the capacity of autoantibodies to type VII collagen to trigger an Fcgamma-dependent inflammation leading to split formation in cryosections of human skin.  (+info)

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare skin disorder that is clinically heterogeneous and is transmitted either in dominant (DDEB) or recessive (RDEB) mode. Nevertheless, all variants of DEB are caused by mutations in type VII collagen gene (COL7A1). We report an analysis of COL7A1 mutations in 51 Italian DEB patients, 27 affected with Hallopeau-Siemens RDEB, 19 with non Hallopeau-Siemens RDEB, two with DDEB, two with pretibial RDEB, and one with inversa RDEB. Forty-one mutations were identified, 18 of which are novel. Mutation consequences were analyzed at the mRNA and protein level and genotype-phenotype correlation was determined. Recessive inheritance of a new case of pretibial RDEB was also established. In RDEB patients, six recurrent mutations were identified: 7344G-->A, 425A-->G, 8441-14del21, 4783-1G-->A, 497insA, and G1664A, the last three being found only in Italian patients. Indeed, haplotype analysis supported propagation of ancestral mutated alleles within the Italian population for these particular mutations. Altogether recurrent mutations account for approximately 43% of RDEB alleles in Italian patients and therefore new DEB patients should first be screened for the presence of these mutations.  (+info)

Injection of genetically engineered fibroblasts corrects regenerated human epidermolysis bullosa skin tissue. (6/98)

Current therapeutic strategies for genetic skin disorders rely on the complex process of grafting genetically engineered tissue to recipient wound beds. Because fibroblasts synthesize and secrete extracellular matrix, we explored their utility in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a blistering disease due to defective extracellular type VII collagen. Intradermal injection of RDEB fibroblasts overexpressing type VII collagen into intact RDEB skin stably restored correctly localized type VII collagen expression in vivo and normalized hallmark RDEB disease features, including subepidermal blistering and anchoring fibril defects. This article was published online in advance of the print edition. The date of publication is available from the JCI website, http://www.jci.org.  (+info)

Identification of COL7A1 alternative splicing inserting 9 amino acid residues into the fibronectin type III linker domain. (7/98)

Type VII collagen is the major component of anchoring fibrils within the cutaneous basement membrane zone. The large amino-terminal noncollagenous domain of type VII collagen interacts with various extracellular matrix proteins and contributes to the dermal-epidermal attachment. The purpose of this study was to detect alternative splicing of COL7A1 transcript encoding the noncollagenous 1 domain. The alternative splicing in this region may affect interactions of the noncollagenous 1 domain with extracellular matrix proteins and also dermal-epidermal adhesion. Thus we examined expression of the alternative splicing in situations relating to wound healing and skin remodeling that required dermal-epidermal binding and detachment. Amplification of overlapping cDNA from keratinocytes using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction identified alternative splicing, which was generated by a different exon 18 acceptor site 27 bp upstream from the common acceptor site. Expression of this alternatively spliced transcript differed among several cell types. The nine amino acid residues GPLTLPLSP from the 27 bp nucleotides were inserted into the linker of fibronectin type III domains. This insertion was suggested to contribute to flexibility of the linker of fibronectin type III domains and may affect the interactions between the noncollagenous 1 domain and extracellular matrix proteins. Treatment with transforming growth factor-beta 1, which is known to promote wound healing and skin remodeling, enhanced the expression of this 27 bp transcript. Furthermore, keratinocyte biopsies from the wound edge of patients with epithelizing skin ulcers showed a significant increase in the 27 bp transcript expression compared with normal keratinocytes from steady-state body sites. These results suggest that amino acid variation of this alternative splicing may have some role in dermal-epidermal adhesion, wound healing, and skin remodeling. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first evidence of alternative splice insertion of a small peptide into the linker region of the fibronectin type III domains, a common motif within modular proteins.  (+info)

Genetic correction of canine dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa mediated by retroviral vectors. (8/98)

We have assessed the suitability of retroviral vectors for gene therapy of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) in dogs expressing a mutated collagen type VII. Isolation and analysis of the 9 kb dog collagen type VII cDNA identified the causative genetic mutation G1906S and disclosed the interspecies conservation of collagen type VII. Highly efficient transfer of the wild-type collagen type VII cDNA to both dog RDEB and human primary RDEB collagen type VII-null keratinocytes using recombinant vectors derived from LZRS-Ires-zeo and MSCV retroviruses achieved sustained and permanent expression of the transgene product. The expression and post-translational modification profile of the recombinant collagen type VII was comparable to that of the wild-type counterpart. The recombinant canine collagen type VII in human RDEB keratinocytes and dog cells corrected the observable defects caused by RDEB keratinocytes in cell cultures and in vitro reconstructed skin. Hypermotility was fully reverted in human RDEB keratinocytes, and strongly reduced in the dog RDEB cells. This observation suggests that not only infection efficiency but also high expression levels are required to ensure therapeutic efficacy in the presence of mutated gene products. Our results set the basis for preclinical gene therapy assays in the first immune-competent large animal model for an inherited skin disease and broaden the spectrum of preclinical and clinical applications of retroviral vectors in the transfer of large recombinant genes in epithelial cells.  (+info)

Collagen alpha-1(VII) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL7A1 gene. This gene encodes the alpha chain of type VII collagen. The type VII collagen fibril, composed of three identical alpha collagen chains, is restricted to the basement zone beneath stratified squamous epithelia. It functions as an anchoring fibril between the external epithelia and the underlying stroma. Mutations in this gene are associated with all forms of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In the absence of mutations, however, an autoimmune response against type VII collagen can result in an acquired form of this disease called epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Type VII collagen is also found in the retina; its function in this organ is unknown. COL7A1 is located on the short arm of human chromosome 3, in the chromosomal region denoted 3p21.31. The gene is approximately 31,000 base pairs in size and is remarkable for the extreme fragmentation of its coding sequence into 118 exons. COL7A1 is transcribed into ...
RDEB cells. Fibroblasts from four unrelated COL7A1 mutant type VII collagen-deficient RDEB patients (3) fulfilling clinical, immunohistological, ultrastructural, and genetic criteria for the disease (11) were grown as described (1). Integrase-based stable integration of the type VII collagen expression plasmid, pCOL7A1, was performed by cotransfecting fibroblasts with a φC31 integrase-encoding plasmid and pCOL7A1 as described (3). For selection, 3 days after transfection, cells were subjected to 10 days of blasticidin (4 μg/ml) in culture media to yield cells overexpressing type VII collagen (RDEB+ cells). Type VII collagen expression was verified by immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoblot analysis using antibodies to human type VII collagen (Calbiochem-Novabiochem Corp., San Diego, California, USA).. Animal studies. For fibroblast injection into mouse skin, 6-week-old athymic nude and CB.17 scid/scid mice were injected intradermally with 106 fibroblasts resuspended in 100 μl PBS using a ...

Epidermolysis Bullosa encompasses a group of inherited heterogeneous diseases involving trauma induced blistering of the skin. Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is one of the most debilitating variants of the disease and patients are predisposed to developing aggressive cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). Unlike SCC in the general population, the primary cause of RDEB associated SCC is not UV-radiation. SCC in RDEB patients has poor prognosis due to a high frequency of recurrence and metastasis. 70% of all severe generalized RDEB patients die from SCC by the age of 45, compared to only 1.25% of all patients with UV-induced SCC in the general population (Fine et al. 2008), making SCC the leading cause of death in these RDEB patients. The aim of this investigation was to identify therapeutic targets for RDEB associated SCC. Global gene expression studies identified 36 candidate genes which were differentially regulated in RDEB SCC (n=4) compared with non-RDEB SCC (n=5) primary ...
BACKGROUND. Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is an incurable disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding type VII collagen, the major component of anchoring fibrils (AF). We previously demonstrated that gentamicin produced functional type VII collagen in RDEB cells harboring nonsense mutations. Herein, we determined whether topical or intradermal gentamicin administration induces type VII collagen and AFs in RDEB patients. METHODS. A double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial assessed safety and efficacy of topical and intradermal gentamicin in 5 RDEB patients with nonsense mutations. The topical arm tested 0.1% gentamicin ointment or placebo application 3 times daily at 2 open erosion sites for 2 weeks. The intradermal arm tested daily intradermal injection of gentamicin solution (8 mg) or placebo into 2 intact skin sites for 2 days in 4 of 5 patients. Primary outcomes were induction of type VII collagen and AFs at the test sites and safety assessment. A secondary ...

Results All 20 patients had generalised blistering at birth and during early infancy. In most patients, the age of transition from generalised to inversa distribution was before the age of 4 years. A spectrum of disease severity, ranging from the mildest mucosal only phenotype to the severest phenotype with limited acral involvement, was noted. The 29 genotypes of these RDEB-I patients and those reported in the literature revealed that RDEB-I is associated with specific recessive arginine and glycine substitutions in the triple helix domain of type VII collagen. ...

About the clinical trial:. This study is investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of an investigational treatment called PTR-01 (type VII collagen protein). PTR-01 is an investigational product given by intravenous infusion over 1 hour. This study has been active since early 2019 and has currently enrolled 9 patients.. Patients enrolled in the study are given 3 infusions of PTR-01 (or placebo), followed by 3 doses of placebo (or PTR-01). All subjects will receive both PTR-01 and placebo.. This study involves blood and urine samples and does require skin biopsies. An earlier version of this study required more skin biopsies, but the Sponsor has recently amended the protocol to reduce the number of biopsies. The Sponsor has also allowed for one of the visits to be done remotely.. Study visits occur every 2 weeks and require coming to Stanford. There are a total of 6 infusions. The treatment period is 10 weeks. All travel costs, including accomodations and meals, are covered by the ...

These structures contain the extracellular portions of collagen XVII (BP180) and alpha-6-beta-4 (α-6-β-4) integrin. In addition, anchoring filaments contain the molecules laminin 5 and laminin 6. Similar to all members of the family of laminin proteins, laminin 5 is a large heterotrimeric molecule, containing α-3, β-3, and g-2 chains. Laminin 5 forms a disulfide-bonded attachment to laminin 6, the other known anchoring filament laminin, which contains α-3, β-1, and g-1 chains. Laminin 5 also forms a strong association with type VII collagen, which serves to connect anchoring filaments with anchoring fibrils ...

Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita associated with relapsing polychondritis: an association with eosinophilia?: Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a blistering dis
Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA) is another rare type of Epidermolysis Bullosa, which isnt inherited. Blistering associated with this condition occurs as the result of the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue. It is similar to a condition called bullous pemphigoid, which also is related to an immune system disorder. EBA has been associated with Crohns disease, an inflammatory bowel disease ...
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes the skin to form tense blisters in response to minor injury. This is an acquired autoimmune disease and the initiating event that leads to disease is unknown. This means that the immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake. In EBA, the body mistakenly attacks collagen, a type of protein in the skin that helps to keep the skin intact. Epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic form of the disease that occurs through inheritance of specific genes, unlike EBA, which occurs sporadically in people with no history of the condition in their families. EBA usually presents in adulthood, most commonly on the hands, feet, knees, elbows, and buttocks. It can also affect the mouth, nose, and eyes. Males, females and individuals of all races can be affected. Some affected people have other medical problems such as Crohns disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, amyloidosis, and multiple myeloma.

This is an acquired autoimmune disease and the initiating event that leads to disease is unknown. This means that the immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake. In EBA, the body mistakenly attacks collagen, a type of protein in the skin that helps to keep the skin intact. Epidermolysis bullosa is a genetic form of the disease that occurs through inheritance of specific genes, unlike EBA, which occurs sporadically in people with no history of the condition in their families. EBA usually presents in adulthood, most commonly on the hands, feet, knees, elbows, and buttocks. It can also affect the mouth, nose, and eyes. Males, females and individuals of all races can be affected. Some affected people have other medical problems such as Crohns disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, amyloidosis, and multiple myeloma. Symptoms usually occur in the fourth ...

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is caused by mutations in as many as 19 distinct genes. We have developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel targeting genes known to be mutated in skin fragility disorders, including tetraspanen CD151 expressed in keratinocytes at the dermal-epidermal junction. The NGS panel was applied to a cohort of 92 consanguineous families of unknown subtype of EB. In one family, a homozygous donor splice site mutation in CD151 (NM_139029; c.351+2T,C) at the exon 5/intron 5 border was identified, and RT-PCR and whole transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq confirmed deletion of the entire exon 5 encoding 25 amino acids ...

The overall functions of skin, the bodys largest organ, decrease with age. Decline is noted in cell replacement, sensory perception, thermal regulation, and chemical clearance. Decreases in sweat, sebum, and vitamin D production also occur.[2] Immune response is lessened; the incidence of neoplasms increases, and there is greater susceptibility to skin infections. Wounds heal more slowly due to a combination of decreased immune and inflammatory response, collagen degradation, and decreased synthesis, and a 30% to 50% decline in epidermal turnover that takes place between the third and eighth decade of life.[3] Other normal changes and potential implications of skin aging include: z Flattening of the dermal-epidermal junction, causing a decrease in the contact surface between the dermis and epidermis. This change may compromise communication and nutrient transfer between skin layers. z Increased dermal separation that may cause increased blistering or tearing. z Decrease in epidermal filaggrin ...
As summarized in Table I, 13 from the sufferers were classified as RDEB-sev, gen (sufferers 1C13) with mutations that created early termination codons (PTCs) because of non-sense or splice-site mutations (Spl), small deletions or insertions. Another nine RDEB sufferers (sufferers 14C22) acquired missense mutations (Mis) in a single allele of predicting glycine or arginine substitutions in the TH domains. Six sufferers (sufferers 14C19) acquired mutations connected with RDEB-I. Three sufferers acquired RDEB-O (sufferers 20C22). From the 22 sequenced RDEB individuals, 32 mutant alleles were identified. Nearly one third (10 of 32) of these mutations have not been previously reported. Table 1 Summary of the clinical and mutational analysis of RDEB individuals.
