项目摘要

The objective of the present study is to elucidate the role of extracellular matrix, collagen protein family in particular, in maintaining the function of multicellular system through a synthetic methodology so that the system may show a novel function. Type I collagen gel culture containing fibroblasts within serves as a dermis-like replacement. We have obtained several bodies of unique information on the effects of type IV collagen gel and type V collagen fibrils on cellular behaviors in culture. The type IV collagen extracted from bovine lens capsule formed gel under unique conditions where specific interactions had been unexpected. Cells, hepatic stellate cells initially, cultured on the type IV collagen gel showed a number of unique behaviors that could never have been seen by the cultures on type I collagen gel or on type IV collagen without a gel form. The cell behaviors included extremely elongated cell morphology, formation of cell-to-cell junction through the tips of cell processes, and repressed proliferation. The observations are shared with other related cells such as smooth muscle cells and glomerular mesangium cells. Endothelial cells, epithelial cells or fibroblasts responded differently. Marker proteins for the contractile stage of smooth muscle cells were expressed when cultured on type IV collagen gel. Reconstituted type V collagen fibrils showed strong inhibition of growth of endothelial cells in spite of the strong cell adhesion.

本研究的目的是通过合成方法阐明细胞外基质，特别是胶原蛋白家族在维持多细胞系统功能中的作用，使该系统表现出新的功能。含有成纤维细胞的 I 型胶原凝胶培养物可用作真皮样替代物。我们已经获得了有关 IV 型胶原凝胶和 V 型胶原原纤维对培养细胞行为影响的大量独特信息。从牛晶状体囊中提取的 IV 型胶原蛋白在独特的条件下形成凝胶，其中特定的相互作用是意想不到的。在 IV 型胶原凝胶上培养的细胞（最初是肝星状细胞）显示出许多独特的行为，这是在 I 型胶原凝胶或没有凝胶形式的 IV 型胶原上培养的细胞永远不会看到的。细胞行为包括细胞形态极度拉长、通过细胞突起尖端形成细胞与细胞连接以及抑制增殖。这些观察结果与其他相关细胞（例如平滑肌细胞和肾小球系膜细胞）共享。内皮细胞、上皮细胞或成纤维细胞的反应不同。当在 IV 型胶原凝胶上培养时，平滑肌细胞收缩阶段的标记蛋白得以表达。重建的V型胶原原纤维尽管具有很强的细胞粘附性，但仍表现出对内皮细胞生长的强烈抑制。
