Dynamic state of collagen: pathways of collagen degradation in vivo and their possible role in regulation of collagen mass

Laurent, G. J.·1987·American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology

Abstract

There is now evidence that collagen turnover in normal tissues can occur at rapid rates. In skin of adult rats, the mean rate lies between 3 and 5%/day, but rates of greater than 10%/day have been reported in some tissues, such as lung and periodontal ligament. The major sites of this degradation are still uncertain. Intracellular degradation, which occurs within minutes of synthesis, may be extensive, but its magnitude varies between tissues. This process may have evolved to allow the adaptive advantages of rapid turnover without compromising the supportive role of fibrillar collagen. There is now abundant evidence that changes in collagen degradation play an important role in the regulation of collagen mass. Increased breakdown of extracellular collagens may be required whether the mass is increased or decreased. However, preliminary evidence suggests that the degradation of newly synthesized collagen may be up- or down-regulated, depending on the direction of the change in content.

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.
