The pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence is not fully understood. The pelvic viscera are maintained in their place thanks to interconnection of levator ani muscles, cardinal and uterosacral ligaments, and pubocervical and rectovaginal fascia. Ligaments and fascia consist mainly of connective tissue.

[email protected]; [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.matbio.2015.02.004 Edited by W.C. Parks and S. Apte Abstract ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs) proteases comprise the most recently discovered branch of the extracellular metalloenzymes. Research during the last 15 years, uncovered their association with a variety of physiological and pathological processes including blood coagulation, tissue repair, fertility, arthritis and cancer. Importantly, a frequent feature of ADAMTS enzymes relates to their effects on vascular-related phenomena, including angiogenesis. Their specific roles in vascular biology have been clarified by information on their expression profiles and substrate specificity. Through their catalytic activity, ADAMTS proteases modify rather than degrade extracellular proteins. They predominantly target proteoglycans and glycoproteins abundant in the basement membrane, therefore their broad contributions to the vasculature should not come as a surprise.

  • Collagen VI-Related Myopathy
    Collagen VI-related myopathy Description Collagen VI-related myopathy is a group of disorders that affect skeletal muscles (which are the muscles used for movement) and connective tissue (which provides strength and flexibility to the skin, joints, and other structures throughout the body). Most affected individuals have muscle weakness and joint deformities called contractures that restrict movement of the affected joints and worsen over time. Researchers have described several forms of collagen VI-related myopathy, which range in severity: Bethlem myopathy is the mildest, an intermediate form is moderate in severity, and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy is the most severe. People with Bethlem myopathy usually have loose joints (joint laxity) and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy, but they develop contractures during childhood, typically in their fingers, wrists, elbows, and ankles. Muscle weakness can begin at any age but often appears in childhood to early adulthood. The muscle weakness is slowly progressive, with about two-thirds of affected individuals over age 50 needing walking assistance. Older individuals may develop weakness in respiratory muscles, which can cause breathing problems. Some people with this mild form of collagen VI-related myopathy have skin abnormalities, including small bumps called follicular hyperkeratosis on the arms and legs; soft, velvety skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet; and abnormal wound healing that creates shallow scars. The intermediate form of collagen VI-related myopathy is characterized by muscle weakness that begins in infancy. Affected children are able to walk, although walking becomes increasingly difficult starting in early adulthood. They develop contractures in the ankles, elbows, knees, and spine in childhood.

  • The Beneficial Regulation of Extracellular Matrix
    cosmetics Article The Beneficial Regulation of Extracellular Matrix and Heat Shock Proteins, and the Inhibition of Cellular Oxidative Stress Effects and Inflammatory Cytokines by 1α, 25 dihydroxyvitaminD3 in Non-Irradiated and Ultraviolet Radiated Dermal Fibroblasts Neena Philips *, Xinxing Ding, Pranathi Kandalai, Ilonka Marte, Hunter Krawczyk and Richard Richardson School of Natural Sciences, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, NJ 07601, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 20 July 2019; Published: 1 August 2019 Abstract: Intrinsic skin aging and photoaging, from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are associated with altered regulation of genes associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and inflammation, as well as cellular damage from oxidative stress. The regulatory properties of 1α, 25dihydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D) include endocrine, ECM regulation, cell differentiation, photoprotection, and anti-inflammation. The goal of this research was to identify the beneficial effects of vitamin D in preventing intrinsic skin aging and photoaging, through its direct effects as well as its effects on the ECM, associated heat shock proteins (HSP-47, and -70), cellular oxidative stress effects, and inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-8] in non-irradiated, UVA-radiated, UVB-radiated dermal fibroblasts. With regard to the ECM, vitamin D stimulated type I collagen and inhibited cellular elastase activity in non-irradiated fibroblasts; and stimulated type I collagen and HSP-47, and inhibited elastin expression and elastase activity in UVA-radiated dermal fibroblasts. With regard to cellular protection, vitamin D inhibited oxidative damage to DNA, RNA, and lipids in non-irradiated, UVA-radiated and UVB-radiated fibroblasts, and, in addition, increased cell viability of UVB-radiated cells.

  • Binding of Recombinant Human Cytokeratin 19 to Laminin

Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) is a specific cytoskeletal component of simple epi- thelia, including bronchial epithelial cells. We hypothesized that CK8 or CK19 released from epithelial cells may bind to and cause damage to extracellular matrixes through binding of anti-CK8 or anti-CK19 autoantibodies. In the present study, bindings of recombinant human CK8 and CK19 to laminin (both derived from mouse sarcoma cells and human), collagen, gelatin, and fibronectin were evaluated by a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In addition, binding of CK19 to laminin was also confirmed by inhibition assay. As a result, CK19 strongly bound to mouse laminin as well as human laminin. Pretreatment with laminin significantly reduced the binding of CK19 to laminin. However, binding of recombinant CK19 to laminin was not demonstrated by Western immunoblot, suggesting that SDS treatment of laminin diminished the binding. These results suggest that released CK19 from epithelial cells may have played a role in the damage of basement membrane by accumulation of an immune complex composed by CK19 and anti-CK19 autoantibody.
