Ultrastructural Location and Interactions of the Immunoglobulin Receptor Binding Sequence within Fibrillar Type I Collagen.

ABSTRACT: Collagen type I is a major constituent of animal bodies. It is found in large quantities in tendon, bone, skin, cartilage, blood vessels, bronchi, and the lung interstitium. It is also produced and accumulates in large amounts in response to certain inflammations such as lung fibrosis. Our understanding of the molecular organization of fibrillar collagen and cellular interaction motifs, such as those involved with immune-associated molecules, continues to be refined. In this study, antibodies raised against type I collagen were used to label intact D-periodic type I collagen fibrils and observed with atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and immunolabeling positions were observed with both methods. The antibodies bind close to the C-terminal telopeptide which verifies the location and accessibility of both the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I (MHCI) binding domain and C-terminal telopeptide on the outside of the collagen fibril. The close proximity of the C-telopeptide and the MHC1 domain of type I collagen to fibronectin, discoidin domain receptor (DDR), and collagenase cleavage domains likely facilitate the interaction of ligands and receptors related to cellular immunity and the collagen-based Extracellular Matrix.

Project description:ImportanceSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized nonatherosclerotic cause of acute myocardial infarction enriched among individuals with early-onset myocardial infarction but is of unclear etiology.ObjectiveTo assess which genes contribute to the development of SCAD.Design, setting, and participantsTo prioritize genes influencing risk for SCAD, whole-exome sequencing was performed among individuals with SCAD in the discovery and replication cohorts from a tertiary care hospital outpatient specialty clinic, and gene set enrichment analyses were also performed for disruptive coding variants. All patients were sequentially enrolled beginning July 2013. Aggregate prevalence of rare disruptive variants for prioritized gene sets was compared between individuals with SCAD with population-based controls comprising 46 468 UK Biobank participants with whole-exome sequencing. Complementary mice models were used for in vivo validation. Analysis took place between June 2020 and January 2021.Main outcomes and measuresThe frequency and identity of rare genetic variants in individuals with SCAD.ResultsOf 130 patients, 109 (83.8%) were female (26 of 32 [81.2%] in the discovery cohort and 83 of 98 [84.7%] in the replication cohort) with mean (SD) age at first SCAD event of 48.41 (8.76) years in the discovery cohort and 47.74 (10.09) years in the replication cohort. Across all patients with SCAD, rare disruptive variants were found within 10 collagen genes (COL3A1, COL5A1, COL4A1, COL6A1, COL5A2, COL12A1, COL4A5, COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL27A1) were 17-fold (P = 1.5 × 10-9) enriched among individuals with SCAD compared with a background of 2506 constrained genes expressed in coronary artery. Furthermore, compared with individuals from the UK Biobank, individuals with SCAD were 1.75-fold (P = .04) more likely to carry disruptive rare variants within fibrillar collagen genes. Complementary mice models haploinsufficient for Col3a1 or Col5a1, the 2 most common collagen gene variants identified in SCAD cases, demonstrated increased risk of arterial dissection and increased size of arterial diameters especially in female mice, with resulting changes in collagen fibril organization and diameter.Conclusions and relevanceUnbiased gene discovery in patients with SCAD with independent human and murine validation highlights the role of the extracellular matrix dysfunction in SCAD.
