Abstract
PURPOSE Besides comprising scaffolding, extracellular matrix components modulate many biological processes including inflammation and cell differentiation. We previously found precoating cell plates with extracellular matrix collagen I, or its denatured product gelatin, causes aggregation of macrophage-like human lymphoma U937 cells, which are induced to differentiation by phorbol myristate treatment. In the present study, we investigated the influence of gelatin or collagen I precoating on the bacteria phagocytosis in PMA-stimulated U937 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Colony forming units of phagocytosed bacteria, Giemsa-staining of cells with phagocytosed bacteria, confocal microscopic and flow cytometric analysis of cells with phagocytosed FITC-labeled bacteria and non-bioactive latex beats were conducted. RESULTS Gelatin precoating enhances the phagocytosis of both Gram-negative and positive bacteria, as shown by the increased colony forming units of bacteria phagocytosed by cells, and increased intracellular bacteria observed after Giemsa-staining. But collagen I has no marked influence. Confocal microscopy reveals that both live and dead FITC-bacteria were phagocytosed more in the cells with gelatin-coating but not collagen-coating. Of note, both gelatin and collagen I coating had no influence on the phagocytosis of non-bioactive latex beads. Since gelatin-coating increases autophagy but collagen I has no such impact, we are curious about the role of autophagy. Inhibiting autophagy reduced the phagocytosis of bacteria, in cells with gelatin-coating, while stimulating autophagy enhanced phagocytosis. CONCLUSION This study finds the bacteria-phagocytosis stimulatory effect of gelatin in PMA-treated U937 cells and reveals the positive regulatory role of autophagy, predicting the potential use of gelatin products in anti-bacterial therapy.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides an appropriate microenvironment for many kinds of cells, including pancreatic cells. Collagens are the most abundant components of the ECM. Type I, IV, V and VI collagen has been detected in pancreatic islets, and each type plays important role in the proliferation, survival, function and differentiation of pancreatic cells. In some cases, collagens show behaviours similar to those of growth factors and regulate the biological behaviour of β cells by binding with certain growth factors, including IGFs, EGFs and FGFs. The transcriptional coactivator YAP/TAZ has been widely recognised as a mechanosensor that senses changes in the physical characteristics of the ECM and inhibition of YAP/TAZ enhances insulin production and secretion. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease characterised by the destruction of insulin-producing β cells. The crosstalk between collagens and immune cells plays a key role in the development and differentiation of immune cells. Further, Supplementation with collagens during islet transplantation is a promising strategy for improving the quality of the islets. But, excessive collagen deposition results in pancreatic fibrosis and pancreatic carcinoma. Targeting inhibit Piezo, autophagy or IL-6 may reduce excessive collagen deposition-induced pancreatic fibrosis and pancreatic carcinoma. This review provides insights into the treatment of T1DM to prolong life expectancy and provides the potential targets for treating collagen deposition-induced pancreatic fibrosis and pancreatic carcinoma.

Type I collagen reduces lipid accumulation during adipogenesis of preadipocytes 3T3-L1 via the YAP-mTOR-autophagy axis. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2022; 1867:159181.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates cell behavior through signal transduction and provides a suitable place for cell survival. As one of the major components of the extracellular matrix, type I collagen is involved in regulating cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. We present a system in which 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells are induced for adipogenic differentiation on type I collagen coated dishes. Our previous study has found that type I collagen inhibits adipogenic differentiation via YAP activation. Here we further reveal that type I collagen inactivates autophagy by up-regulating mTOR activity via the YAP pathway. Under collagen-coating conditions, co-localization of lysosomes with mTOR was increased and the level of downstream protein p-S6K was elevated, accompanied by a decrease in the level of autophagy. Autophagy is negatively correlated with adipogenesis under type I collagen coating. Through the YAP-autophagy axis, type I collagen improves glycolipid metabolism accompanied by increased mitochondrial content, enhanced glucose uptake, reduced release of free fatty acids (FFAs) and decreased intracellular lipid accumulation. Our findings provide insight into the strategy for dealing with obesity: Type I collagen or the drugs with inhibitory effects on autophagy or YAP, have a potential to accelerate the energy metabolism of adipose tissue, so as to better maintain the homeostasis of glucose and lipids in the body, which can be used for achieving weight loss.

Abstract
During tumor growth the extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes dramatic remodeling. The normal ECM is degraded and substituted with a tumor-specific ECM, which is often of higher collagen density and increased stiffness. The structure and collagen density of the tumor-specific ECM has been associated with poor prognosis in several types of cancer. However, the reason for this association is still largely unknown. Collagen can promote cancer cell growth and migration, but recent studies have shown that collagens can also affect the function and phenotype of various types of tumor-infiltrating immune cells such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and T cells. This suggests that tumor-associated collagen could have important immune modulatory functions within the tumor microenvironment, affecting cancer progression as well as the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. The effects of tumor-associated collagen on immune cells could help explain why a high collagen density in tumors is often correlated with a poor prognosis. Knowledge about immune modulatory functions of collagen could potentially identify targets for improving current cancer therapies or for development of new treatments. In this review, the current knowledge about the ability of collagen to influence T cell activity will be summarized. This includes direct interactions with T cells as well as induction of immune suppressive activity in other immune cells such as macrophages. Additionally, the potential effects of collagen on the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy will be discussed.

Abstract
Currently, titanium dental implant apposition to bone is achieved via osseointegration leading to ankylosis. A biomimetic Sharpey's fiber-type interface could be constructed around collagen fibrils robustly attached and projecting perpendicularly from the titanium surface. We present a proof-of-concept for a method to create upright-standing collagen nanofibrils covalently bonded to a titanium surface. The method involves activation of the titanium surface using a plasma discharge treatment followed by functionalization with an oxyamine-terminated silane coupling molecule. Using Rapoport's salt, the N-termini of individual type I collagen monomers are converted to ketones. When presented to the functionalized titanium surface, these ketones form oxime linkages with the silanes thus immobilizing the collagen. In a two-step process, these covalently bonded monomers act as sites for the formation of fibrils. Many fibril-surface junctions were observed by scanning electron microscopy on three different surfaces. These findings set the stage for working toward a high surface density of such features which might act as a platform from which to build a synthetic ligament.

Abstract
Collagen is an important component that makes 25-35% of our body proteins. Over the past decades, tissue engineers have been designing collagen-based biocompatible materials and studying their applications in different fields. Collagen obtained from cattle and pigs has been mainly used until now, but collagen derived from fish and other livestock has attracted more attention since the outbreak of mad cow disease, and they are also used as a raw material for cosmetics and foods. Due to the zoonotic infection using collagen derived from pigs and cattle, their application in developing biomaterials is limited; hence, the development of new animal-derived collagen is required. In addition, there is a religion (Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism) limited to export raw materials and products derived from cattle and pig. Hence, high-value collagen that is universally accessible in the world market is required. Therefore, in this review, we have dealt with the use of duck's feet-derived collagen (DC) as an emerging alternative to solve this problem and also presenting few original investigated bone regeneration results performed using DC.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages are immune cells with diverse functions in tumor development. Among other functions, they downregulate immune-mediated tumor rejection by depriving lymphocytes of nutrients. The essential amino acid tryptophan is metabolized by the enzymes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 is expressed in a large number of human tumors, and inhibitors are in development to improve immunotherapy. Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase was also found in human tumors and preclinical working models confirmed its immunosuppressive power. We explored a potential expression of TDO by macrophages. This enzyme could be induced in two human cell lines, THP-1 and U937, by incubation with phorbol myristate acetate, lipopolysaccharide, and interferon gamma. Phorbol-myristate-acetate-mediated induction was inhibited by rottlerin, a protein kinase C inhibitor. In contrast to these monocytic cell lines, other cell lines or fresh human monocytes isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and differentiated into proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory macrophages could not be induced to express TDO. Our results suggest that TDO might play an immunosuppressive role in human monocytic leukemias but not in untransformed macrophages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular matrix (ECM) comprising the environments of multicellular society has a dynamic network structure. Collagen is one of the ubiquitous components of ECM. Collagen affects the inflammatory response by regulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from cells. Gelatin, denatured collagen found temporally in tissues, is supposed to be pathophysiologically involved in tissue remodeling, inflammation caused by tissue damage. Previous reports indicate that, phorbol myristate (PMA)-stimulated human U937 (lymphoma cell line) cells that are often used as macrophage-like cells, show cell aggregations when cultured on type I collagen (col I) or gelatin-coated dishes, accompanying the changes of production and release of proinflammatory factors. However, it still remains to be examined whether collagen and gelatin affects normal macrophages as well. AIM This study aims to investigate the effect of col. I, the main component of collagenous protein and its denatured product, gelatin, on mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs). METHODS MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis of ROS, biochemical detection of antioxidant levels, ELISA assay, and western blot were used. RESULTS MPMs formed multicellular aggregates on col. I - and gelatin-coated dishes with a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Further studies showed that the culture on col. I and gelatin up-regulated the protein expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules such as IL-1β, TNFα and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in MPMs. The levels were higher in the cells on gelatin than those on col. I. ROS levels are significantly increased in the cells cultured on both col. I- and gelatin-coated dishes, accompanying decreased levels of antioxidant enzyme catalase (CAT) and anti-oxidant glutathione (GSH), and enhanced nuclear translocation of NF-κB. CONCLUSION Col I - or gelatin-coated culture induced the formation of multicellular aggregates and increased production of NF-κB-associated pro-inflammatory molecules in MPMs through up-regulation of ROS levels.

Abstract
Purpose: Our previous studies indicate that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-treated U937 cells cultured on collagen I-coated dishes express lowered production of pro-inflammatory mediators in parallel through reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. By contrast, PMA-treated U937 cells on gelatin, the denatured collagen, show enhanced production of pro-inflammatory mediators, mediated by up-regulating autophagy levels. The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of ROS levels in PMA-treated U937 cells cultured on gelatin-coated surface. Material and methods: MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis of ROS and autophagy, biochemical detection of antioxidant levels, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and western blot were used. Results: Gelatin-coating increased ROS levels in PMA-treated U937 cells. Increased ROS levels are involved in the regulation of cell aggregation and the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in gelatin-coated culture. These results lead to the query about the crosstalk between the two positive regulators, the autophagy and ROS. Autophagy induction is attenuated by N-acetyl-L-cysteine treatment, but the treatment with autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine, does not affect ROS levels, suggesting ROS are upstream of autophagy in the regulation axis of differentiated U937 cells on gelatin-coated surface. Further study confirmed that upregulation of autophagy was responsible for ROS-induced cell aggregation and production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Conclusion: The results suggest that gelatin-coating promotes the aggregation of PMA-treated U937 cells and the production of pro-inflammatory mediators by ROS-autophagy signaling pathway.
