General description

Collagen constitutes to one-third of the total protein in humans.[1] Collagen fibril is the basic component of the tissues containing collagen. It is predominantly expressed in the extracellular matrix.[1]Type I collagen is a major structural component of skin, bone, tendon, and other fibrous connective tissues. It differs from other collagens by its low lysine hydroxylation and low carbohydrate composition. Type I collagen is a heterotrimer composed of two α1(I) chains and one alpha2(I) chain, which spontaneously form a triple helix scaffold at neutral pH and 37 °C. Purified human collagen solution is produced from neo-natal human fibroblasts that have secreted human extracellular matrix (hECM) using a propriety cell culture production system. This product contains a high monomer content. In vitro cultures were prepared using intensively tested human fibroblast cells and purified using a manufacturing process following applicable aspects of cGMP. The human fibroblast cells have undergone significant testing demonstrating safety from viruses and other adventitious agents. This process contains built-in, validated steps to ensure the inactivation of possible prion and/or viral contaminants.

Application

Collagen Solution from human fibroblasts has been used

  • as a component of coating solution for human bone marrow chip fabrication.[2]
  • in fibroblast-like synoviocytes culturing.[3]
  • as a coating solution for microchannels for organ chip culture[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Collagen is an essential ingredient of connective tissue. Studies in a Chinese family show that mutation in COL1A1 (collagenase type I) is linked with type I osteogenesis imperfecta.[5][6] Collagen is linked with subchondral turnover of bone, and might have potential as marker to determine the state of joint space narrowing and osteophytes in osteoarthritis.[7]
Proteins belonging to the collagen family supports and nourishes body tissues such as tendons, cartilage, skin and sclera of the eye.[8] Collagen type 1 is a versatile building material required for tissue elasticity and maintains its stability and strength.[9] Collagen is also present in byssus thread of invertebrates, which helps in surface attachment.[9] Defective collagen affects the biomechanical property of arterial tissues.[10]

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. What is the 2D Hydrogel protocol for Product No. C2249?

    1 answer
    1. There has been no internal protocol for C2249 however this paper describes protocol for 2D Collagen Gel. Hong H, Stegemann JP. 2D and 3D collagen and fibrin biopolymers promote specific ECM and integrin gene expression by vascular smooth muscle cells. J Biomater Sci Polym Ed. 2008;19(10):1279-93. doi: 10.1163/156856208786052380. PMID: 18854122; PMCID: PMC2731795.

  2. Is the monomer a tropocollagen?

    1 answer
    1. The human collagen is secreted from fibroblast cells, which cleave the loose ends of the procollagen molecule, leaving what is considered tropocollagen with the telopeptide region intact. An enzyme step is utilized to cleave the telopeptide, resulting in Atelocollagen, which maintains its triple helical formation but without the telopeptide region.
