Abstract

cDNA clones for murine 92 kD type IV collagenase (gelatinase B) were generated for the determination of its primary structure and for analysis of temporal and spatial expression in vivo. The mouse enzyme has 72% sequence identity with the human counterpart, the major difference being the presence of a 16-residue segment absent from the human enzyme. In situ hybridization analyses of embryonic and postnatal mouse tissues revealed intense signals in cells of the osteoclast cell lineage. Clear expression above background was not observed in macrophages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, or epithelial cells which have been shown to express the gene in vitro in cell cultures. Expression of the gene was first observed at early stage of cartilage and tooth development at E13, where signals were seen transiently in surrounding mesenchymal cells. At later developmental stages and postnatally strong expression was seen in large cells at the surface of bones. These cells were presumably osteoclasts as their location correlated with that of TRAP positive cells. Signals above background were not observed in a number of other tissues studied. The results represent the first demonstration of a highly osteoclast specific extracellular proteinase. The results suggest that during normal development of embryonic organs the 92-kD type IV collagenase does not have a major role in basement membrane degradation, but is rather mainly used for the turnover of bone matrix, possibly as a gelatinase required for the removal of denatured collagen fragments (gelatin) generated by interstitial collagenase.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
