We investigated the characteristics of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the soft tissue of two frozen baby woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) that died and were buried in Siberian permafrost approximately 40,000 years ago. Morphological and biochemical analyses of mammoth lung and liver demonstrated that those soft tissues were preserved at the gross anatomical and histological levels. The ultrastructure of ECM components, namely a fibrillar structure with a collagen-characteristic pattern of ...[more]

Distribution of Collagen in Colorectal Liver Metastasis and Normal Liver tissue

Project description:We determined whether collagen is upregulated in colorectal liver metastasis tissue (CRLM). We previously showed that naturally occurring peptides of collagen type I were elevated in the urine of patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). CRLM tissue was compared to healthy adjacent liver tissue (controls) using high resolution mass spectrometry. Twenty-two different collagen alpha chains were identified, 19 of which were significantly upregulated (P<0.05) in CRLM tissue compared with control tissue. We observed expression of four collagen alpha chains which were absent or low expressed in healthy colon and control tissue, but were highly present in CRC and CRLM tissues analyzed. This expression pattern was also observed for six non-collagen colon specific proteins. Two of these proteins (CDH17 and PPP1R1B/DARP-32) were not known to be differently expressed in CRLM in comparison to healthy liver tissue. Furthermore, 16 of 20 identified proteins related to collagen synthesis were upregulated, indicating increased synthesis of collagen in CRLM. Cross-validation of the mass spectrometry data with immunohistochemistry for collagen type XII confirmed the significant upregulation of collagen type XII in CRLM. This study shows that the majority of collagen types are upregulated in CRLM compared to control tissue most likely as a result of an increased collagen turnover and changes in the collagen supramolecular structure. This research provides further understanding of morphologic changes in extracellular matrix of CRLM and the finding of proteins and peptides that might be specific for tumor metastasis in liquid biopsies.

iPSC-derived type IV collagen α5-expressing kidney organoids model Alport syndrome

Project description:Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary glomerulonephritis caused by COL4A3, COL4A4 or COL4A5 gene mutations and characterized by abnormalities of glomerular basement membranes (GBMs). Due to a lack of curative treatments, the condition proceeds to end-stage renal disease even in adolescents. Hampering drug discovery is the absence of effective in vitro methods for testing the restoration of normal GBMs. Here, we aimed to develop kidney organoid models from AS patient iPSCs for this purpose. We established iPSC-derived collagen α5(IV)-expressing kidney organoids and confirmed that kidney organoids from COL4A5 mutation-corrected iPSCs restore collagen α5(IV) protein expression. Importantly, our model recapitulates the differences in collagen composition between iPSC-derived kidney organoids from mild and severe AS cases. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a chemical chaperone, 4-phenyl butyric acid, has the potential to correct GBM abnormalities in kidney organoids showing mild AS phenotypes. This iPSC-derived kidney organoid model will contribute to drug discovery for AS.

A Macrophage-Collagen Fragment Axis Mediates Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Remodeling

Project description:Efficient collagen degradation is essential for adaptive subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) expansion that protects against ectopic lipid deposition during weight gain. Here, we aimed to further define the mechanism for this collagenolytic process. We show that loss of collagen type-1 (CT1) and increased CT1-fragment levels in expanding SAT are associated with proliferation of resident M2-like macrophages that display increased CD206-mediated engagement in collagen endocytosis compared to chow-fed controls. Blockage of CD206 during acute diet-induced weight gain leads to SAT CT1-fragment accumulation associated with elevated inflammation and fibrosis markers. Moreover, the collagen endocytosis engagement of SAT macrophages is dramatically reduced in obesity along with elevated levels of short collagen fragments. Finally, we show that such fragments provoke M2-macrophage proliferation and fibroinflammatory changes in vitro. Thus, our data delineate the importance of a macrophage-collagen axis in physiological SAT expansion. Further understanding of this process can define novel targets in obesity-related disorders.

Species identification of ancient Lithuanian fish remains using collagen fingerprinting

Project description:Morphological identification of ancient bone is often problematic due to heavy fragmentation that generally influences zooarchaeological assemblages. Fish bones are more taphonomically sensitive than those of other vertebrates as they are typically smaller and less biomineralised. Thus, taxonomic identification based on the preservation of morphological features is often extremely limited and can reduce or eliminate the usefulness of an assemblage for inferring taxon information. Currently, one of the most time- and cost-efficient methods of achieving faunal identity from ancient bone is by the collagen fingerprinting technique known as ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry). ZooMS harnesses the potential of preserved collagen, which is the most dominant and time-stable protein in bone. In this research, ZooMS is applied to ancient Baltic region fish assemblages that are between 500 and 6000 years old in order to define species identity and construct assemblage compositions. Alongside inferences into environmental and biological shifts from the Neolithic era to present day in the Baltic region, we demonstrate for the first time the ability to distinguish between recently diverged members of the Salmo (salmon) and Scophthalmus (turbot) genera. ZooMS analysis highlights 7% of the collagen-containing assemblage as having been morphologically identified incorrectly and has facilitated taxonomic refinement of a further 28% of samples, including some of the morphologically indeterminate bone fragments. This research emphasises the great potential of ZooMS in identifying ichthyoarchaeological bone remains to species-level, and provides a case for the use of collagen fingerprinting in contributing to baseline fisheries and ecological data, to inform modern management.

Kidney tissue pipeline for multi-omics and histological analysis

Project description:Biobanking of tissue from clinically obtained kidney biopsies for later analysis with multi-omic approaches, such as single cell technologies, proteomics, metabolomics and the different types of imaging, is an inevitable step to overcome the need of disease model systems and towards translational medicine. Hence, collection protocols that ensure integration into daily clinical routines by the usage of preservation media that do not require liquid nitrogen but instantly preserve kidney tissue for both clinical and scientific analyses are necessary. Thus, we modified a robust single nucleus dissociation protocol for kidney tissue stored snap frozen or in the preservation media RNAlater and CellCover. Using porcine kidney tissue as surrogate for human kidney tissue, we conducted single nucleus RNA sequencing with the widely recognized Chromium 10X Genomics platform. The resulting datasets from each storage condition were analyzed to identify any potential variations in transcriptomic profiles. Furthermore, we assessed the suitability of the preservation media for additional analysis techniques such as proteomics, metabolomics, and the preservation of tissue architecture for histopathological examination including immunofluorescence staining. In this study, we show that in daily clinical routines the preservation medium RNAlater facilitates the collection of highly preserved kidney biopsies and enables further analysis with cutting-edge techniques like single nucleus RNA sequencing, proteomics and histopathological evaluation. Only metabolome analysis is currently restricted to snap frozen tissue. This work will contribute to build tissue biobanks with well-defined cohorts of the respective kidney disease that can be deeply molecular characterized, opening up new horizons for the identification of unique cells, pathways and biomarkers for the prevention, early identification and targeted therapy of kidney diseases.

Collagen induces maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells by signalling through Osteoclast Associated Receptor

Project description:Human immature dendritic cells derived from monocytes were activated to become mature dendritic cells by exposure to platebound Collagen I or Collagen. The importance of OSCAR-signalling was evaluated by pre-incubating the immature dendritic cells with an inhibitory monoclonal antibody to the OSCAR receptor, or an isotype control. As a positive control, immature dendritic cells were activated by using LPS. The set-up was examined at 4 hours and 20 hours to evaluate early and late effects of OSCAR signalling.

Human Amniotic membrane modulates collagen production and deposition in vitro

Project description:Pathological fibrosis, an excessive accumulation of collagen, compromises tissue architecture, impedes its function and represents a medical complication. Properties of the amniotic membrane have demonstrated potential to regulate fibrotic processes. RNA sequencing analysis evaluated the effects of dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (DHACM) on fibrotic events using in vitro macromolecular crowding to mimic a physiologically relevant microenvironment. Functional enrichment with Reactome pathway analysis indicated that the function of a subset of these dysregulated genes was associated with the composition and function of the extracellular matrix. Further use of macromolecular crowding in vitro was used to evaluate the effects of DHACM and a lyophilized human amnion/chorion membrane (LHACM) on type 1 collagen production and deposition under profibrotic conditions (addition of TGFβ1). In the continued presence of TGFβ1, LHACM and DHACM regulated the intracellular production and extracellular deposition of type 1 collagen. In addition, results suggest that the effect on collagen deposition could in part be modulated through the regulation of proteins responsible for the extracellular post-translational modifications of collagen. These observations may support the use of DHACM and LHACM in the regulation collagen production/deposition in profibrotic environments.

Down-regulation of collagen hydroxylation in colorectal liver metastasis

Project description:Collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, is significantly upregulated in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) compared to liver tissue. Expression levels of specific collagen types in CRLM resemble those in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colon tissue. We investigated whether the collagen hydroxylation pattern from the primary tumor also migrates with the metastatic tumor. The degree of collagen alpha-1(I) hydroxylation in colon, CRC, liver, and CRLM tissue in the same individuals (n=14) was studied with mass spectrometry. The degree of hydroxylation was investigated in 36 collagen alpha-1(I) peptides, which covered 54% of the triple helical region. The average degree of hydroxylation in liver tissue was similar to that in colon tissue. The overall degree of hydroxylation was significantly lower (9% +/- 14%) in CRC tissue and also significantly lower (12% +/-22%) in CRLM tissue compared to colon or liver tissue. Still, in previous research of liver and CRLM enzymes involved in collagen hydroxylation were found to be upregulated, whereas P4HB (4-prolyl hydroxylase beta unit) was downregulated. Furthermore, 11 peptides are present with a specific number of hydroxylations that are significantly different between CRLM and liver tissue; these peptides could be candidates for the detection of CRLM. For one of these eleven peptides, a matching naturally occurring peptide in urine has been identified as being significantly different between patients suffering from CRLM and healthy controls. We conclude that the degree of hydroxylation in CRC and CRLM tumor tissue is in general significantly downregulated in comparison to healthy colon and liver tissue. The hydroxylation pattern in CRLM resemble partly the pattern in liver, primary colorectal cancer and colon.
