Ultrastructural defects of collagen VI filaments in an Ullrich syndrome patient with loss of the alpha3(VI) N10-N7 domains.

Ultrastructural alterations of collagen VI in cultured fibroblasts and reduced collagen VI immunostaining in the papillary dermis and endomysium were detected in a patient with a mild form of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy caused by a COL6A3 gene mutation. The patient had been previously demonstrated to express an alpha3(VI) chain shorter than normal due to skipping of the mutated exon. We show that collagen VI filaments are not organized in a normal network in the extracellular matrix secreted by patient's cultured fibroblasts. Moreover, we demonstrate that in this patient the alpha3(VI) chain is produced in lower amounts and it is almost exclusively represented by the shorter, alternatively spliced N6-C5 isoform. These results suggest that different alpha3(VI) chain isoforms, containing also domains of the N10-N7 region, are required for assembling a proper collagen VI network in the extracellular matrix.

Comparative study of four extraction methods for enterovirus recovery from wastewater and sewage sludge.

This study investigated four methods for the recovery of enteroviruses from sterilized raw wastewater, activated sludge, thickened sludge and treated wastewater, inoculated with Echovirus 11, Gregory prototype. The adsorption-elution method recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was better for Echovirus 11 recovery than a sonication method, a modified EPA method and a membrane adsorption elution method since it resulted in the highest detection levels by cell culture and RT-PCR (Friedman's test, p<0.00041 and p=0.041, respectively).

TGF-beta1 up-regulates transglutaminase two and fibronectin in dermal fibroblasts: a possible mechanism for the stabilization of tissue inflammation.

Transglutaminase (TGase) has been reported to stabilize tissue inflammation via the mediation of the polymerization of extracellular matrix proteins. A set of cytokines has been implicated in wound healing processes in the dermis. This study was undertaken in order to evaluate the effects of these cytokines on the expression of TGase 2 in human dermal fibroblasts (hDFs), in that TGase 2 is known to be the principal TGase in the dermis. In Western blot analysis, TGF-beta1 (1 ng/ml) treatment was found to steadily up-regulate TGase 2 expression for up to 7 days. However, such increases were not observed when the cells were treated with IL-1beta, IL-2, and TNF-alpha. In the enzyme assay, total TGase activities were closely related to the levels of TGase 2 expression. TGase 2 mRNA expression was up-regulated as the result of TGF-beta treatment in competitive RT-PCR. In the denatured SDS-PAGE, TGF-beta1 treatment resulted in marked induction of an approximately 220 kDa protein, which was revealed to be a fibronectin (FN) via western immunoblotting with an anti-FN antibody. Next, when the hDFs were treated with TGF-beta1 (1 ng/ml), FN expression was induced beginning at the third day after treatment. The immunoprecipitants generated by anti-FN antibody were positive for the anti-TGase 2 antibody, and the immune complexes were identified at molecular weights of 92 kDa. Collectively, TGF-beta1 stimulates the polymerization of FN via the action of TGase 2, which is supposed to to be an important mechanism in the stabilization of the inflammatory dermis.
