Background: Cells interact with type IV collagen (Col IV) via integrins through the triple-helical and NC1 domains. We examined interactions of human glomerular and proximal tubular epithelial cells with recombinant alpha1 and alpha3 NC1 chains of Col IV, to explore the ability of different cell types to interact with Col IV of different trimer composition.
Methods: Interactions of TSV-40-immortalized human glomerular epithelial cells (HGECs), HPV-16-immortalized human proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells and primary human mesangial cells (MES) with recombinant alpha1 and alpha3 NC1 chains of Col IV were examined by affinity chromatography and solid-phase binding assays. The expression of integrin-regulated metalloproteinases was examined by zymography.
Results: HGECs bound to both alpha3 and alpha1(IV)NC1, albeit there was preferential binding to alpha3(IV)NC1, through the alpha3beta1 and alpha2beta1 integrin receptors; HK-2 cells and MES bound almost exclusively to alpha1(IV)NC1 via the alpha3beta1/alphavbeta3 and alpha1beta1/alpha2beta1 receptors, respectively. It was demonstrated that the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by HGECs was down-regulated in the presence of alpha3(IV)NC1.
Conclusions: The observed data indicate that the isoform NC1 chains of Col IV serve for selective, integrin-mediated cell binding which probably triggers different signaling mechanisms, resulting in the activation of specific transcription factors and the modulation of gene expression.

The leading cause of composite restoration failure is recurrent marginal decay. The margin between the composite and tooth is initially sealed by a low-viscosity adhesive, but chemical, physical, and mechanical stresses work synergistically and simultaneously to degrade the adhesive, destroying the interfacial seal and providing an ideal environment for bacteria to proliferate. Our group has been developing self-strengthening adhesives with improved chemical and mechanical characteristics.

Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetic disorder characterized by kidney disease and hearing/vision abnormalities, resulting from mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes. While numerous mutations have been identified in AS cases, the precise molecular mechanisms, particularly for compound mutations, remain under investigation. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of AS in a proband with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) using whole exome sequencing, which identified two compound heterozygous COL4A3 missense mutations: NM_000091.

Introduction: Glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is a severe and exceedingly rare disorder characterized by the presence of circulating antibodies targeting the non-collagen NC1 domain of the α3 chain of collagen type IV in glomerular and alveolar basement membranes. It typically presents as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN), often accompanied by pulmonary hemorrhage. The occurrence of double-seropositivity for anti-GBM antibody and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), primarily with myeloperoxidase specificity (MPO-ANCA), is particularly uncommon in pediatric cases.

Background: Glioma characterized by the high degree of drug resistance and the poor prognosis is the most common primary malignant tumors of the brain. And miRNA is involved in a variety of biological behaviors of tumors, enhancing or inhibiting the occurrence and development of tumors. Therefore, the present study aims to explore whether miR-155-5p can regulate autophagy and apoptosis of glioma through RICTOR.

Background: Nine male and eight female calves born to a Normande artificial insemination bull named "Ly" were referred to the French National Observatory of Bovine Abnormalities for multiple fractures, shortened gestation, and stillbirth or perinatal mortality.
Results: Using Illumina BovineSNP50 array genotypes from affected calves and 84 half-sib controls, the associated locus was mapped to a 6.5-Mb interval on chromosome 19, assuming autosomal inheritance with germline mosaicism.
