Extracellular matrix = ECM
Function:
- Mechanical support of cells
- Basement membrane – „ground“ for epithelium
- Separation of different tissues, compartments
- Intercellular communication
- Role in embryogenesis, tumorigenesis, inflammation
Components:
- Filamentous component (fibrilar matrix)
- Basic substance (interfibrilar matrix)
- Water

Colagens
- heterogenous group of proteins with similar chemical composition – triplet of
filaments containing glycin, prolin and hydroxyprolin and form three helical chains
that twist in a fascicle
- cca. 28 types of colagens
- formed in cells as procolagens and deffinitive shape acquire out of cell
Types:
- Fibrilar – type I, II, III, V, XI
- FACIT (Fibril Associated Collagens with Interrupted Triple helices) – type IX,XII,XIV
- Short chain – type VIII,X
- Basement membrane – type IV
- Other – type VI,VII, XIII
Most important types:
Type I – skin, tendons, vessels, ligaments, organs, bone (90%) – strong firm
filaments
Type II – cartilage
Type III = reticulin, usually accompanies col. type I. – fine, elastic filaments
Type IV – basement membrane

Inborn defects of colagens
Osteogenesis imperfecta
- colagen type I.– insufficient quality and/or quantity –leading to different forms of
the disease:
Type 1 – multiple fractures, loose joints, discoloration of scleres
Type 2 – perinatal death or shortly after birth, serious fractures, hemorrhagies
Type 3 – normal life span, mutiple deformities of bones after frequent fractures
Type 4 – 8 – infrequent, variable variants of the disease
AD type of inheritance
Normal bone Osteogenesis imperfecta typ 1

Inborn defects of colagens
Alport syndrome
- colagen type IV. (basement membranes)
- glomerulonephritis with hematuria (to end-stage kidney), deafness, defective vision
- on X-chromosome linked disease or AR inheritance
Ehlers – Danlos syndrome
- colagen type III. (sometimes with defects also in other colagens)
- different types of disease, usually AD inheritance
Skeletal system – hyperflexibility of joints (with frequent luxations), flat feet, muscle
weakness, scoliosis
CVS – aneurysms, medionecrosis, prolaps of mitral valve
Skin – thin, translucent, loose
![Page 6: Pathology of extracellular matrix Amyloidosis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022080308/62e8d64a625b676c577942ab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Other defects of colagen
Scurvy (avitaminosis C)
– vitamin C is important in collagen synthesis
– skin defects, gingiva, slow wound healing (defective scaring), loss of teeth (weak
suspensory aparatus)
Autoimmune process/ chronic inflammation
- repeated, continuous degradation of collagens by inflammatory process
- Systemic lupus erythematosus, Rheumatoid arthritis, Epidermolysis bulosa
Excessive scar formation, fibrosis
- accumulation of collagens (usually col. type I.)
in tissues with repair
- fibrosis of liver, keloid, stiffening of vessels...

Elastin
- protein with high content of glycin, valin, alanin and prolin; with high level of
sretchability and elasticity
- formed as tropoelastin and final form acquires out of cell by cross-linked elastic
filaments (elastic net)
- vessels (aorta, smaller arteries), lung, ligaments, skin, urinary bladder, elastic
cartilage, intervertebral disc...

Disorders of elastin
Inborn defects
Supravalvular stenosis of aorta
- Segmental stricture of aorta above the valve
- frequently in Williams syndrome (deletion of 26 gens on 7. chromosome)
Cutis laxa
- different types of inheritance (AD, AR, X-linked)
- lose, hanging skin, wrinkeled, nonelastic, sometimes darker
- instability of joints (frequent luxations, hypermobility)
- defects of internal organs – emphysema, aneurysm of aorta
Acquired defects
Lung emphysema
- smoking (and other environmental effects) - decreased alfa1-antitrypsin -> loss of
inhibitory activity on matrix metalloproteinses (collagenase, elastase) -> increased
degradation of elastin and collagens -> rupture of alveolar septae

Other fibrilar proteins
Fibrillin
= glycoprotein forming micro fibrils surrounding elastin
- Marfan syndrome:
- AD inheritance
- long extremities, long fingers, defects of heart valves, aneurysm of aorta,
affection of lungs (spontaneous pneumothorax), pectus carinatus, luxation of
lenses
Fibronectin
- Glycoprotein interconnecting cell membranes (integrins) and extracellular matrix
(collagen, elastin) – significant role in mutual interaction between cells and cells with
ECM
- chemotaxia for monocytes, granulocytes, fibroblasts, endothelium, important factor
in wound healing, binds microorganisms (important immunological function)
- loss of fibronectin on neoplastic cells enables metastatic process
Fibrin
- glycoprotein of blood plasma, polymerization of fibrinogen in coagulation
- may accumulate in tissues by bleeding, in inflammation
- (fibrinoid = like fibrin ...staining properties)

Basement membrane
Thin layer of filaments, with mountin epithelium or endothelium:
- lamina densa – colagen type IV., heparan sulfate, colagen type VII.
- lamina lucida – laminin, integrins, entaktins
- lamina reticularis - colagen type III. Interconnected with fibrillin and colagen VII.
Functions:
- connection with epithelium
- limitation of malignant process in epithelium (in situ)
- angiogenesis
- glomerular filtration, alveolar walls
Defects:
Alport syndrome, epidermolysis bulosa
Laminin = glycoprotein interconnecting colagen IV., heparan sulfate and cell surface
Integrins = transmembrane receptors on cell surface connecting with fibronectin and
laminin, responsible for cellular interactions

Basic substance (nonfibrilar component)
Glykosaminoglycans/ mucopolysaccharides
- polysaccharides composed by repeating units of disaccharides – on protein core
molecule – proteoglycans
- bind water, able to bind various proteins, also growth factors
- heparan sulphate – binds protein ligands, regulates angiogenesis, coagulation,
metastatic process
- chondroitin sulphate – participates on elastic strength of cartilage, tendons,
ligaments, aorta
- dermatan sulphate, keratan sulphate
Hyaluronic acid
- Polysaccharide not forming proteoglycan
- adsorbs water – firmness of tissue, incompressibility and resistance
- especially in joint cartilages
- role in inflammation, migration of cells, metastatic process

AMYLOIDOSIS
Amyloidosis – denotes a group of diseases characterized by deposition of
extracellular fibrillar proteinaceous material – amyloid
Virchow chose term „amyloid“ thinking about material similar to starch
chemicaly heterogenic substances:
I. Fibrillar proteins represent cca 95 % of amyloid.
II. Nonfibrillar components include especially P-component and other proteins
that form remaining 5 % of amyloid .
Staining: Congo red – greenish birefringence in polarized light.
