Abstract
We previously demonstrated that F4 peptide (CNPEDCLYPVSHAHQR) from collagen XIX was able to inhibit melanoma cell migrationin vitro and cancer progression in a mouse melanoma model. The aim of the present work was to study the anti-angiogenic properties of F4 peptide. We demonstrated that F4 peptide inhibited VEGF-induced pseudo-tube formation on Matrigel by endothelial cells and endothelial sprouting in a rat aortic ring assay. By affinity chromatography, we identified αvβ3 and α5β1 integrins as potential receptors for F4 peptide on endothelial cell surface. Using solid phase assays, we proved the direct interaction between F4 and both integrins. Taken together, our results demonstrate that F4 peptide is a potent antitumor agent inhibiting both angiogenesis and tumor cell migration.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is defined as the formation of new capillaries by sprouting from the pre-existing microvasculature. It occurs in physiological and pathological processes particularly in tumor growth and metastasis. α1, α2, α3, and α6 NC1 domains from type IV collagen were reported to inhibit tumor angiogenesis. We previously demonstrated that the α4 NC1 domain from type IV collagen, named Tetrastatin, inhibited tumor growth in a mouse melanoma model. The inhibitory activity was located in a 13 amino acid sequence named QS-13. In the present paper, we demonstrate that QS-13 decreases VEGF-induced-angiogenesis in vivo using the Matrigel plug model. Fluorescence molecular tomography allows the measurement of a 65% decrease in Matrigel plug angiogenesis following QS-13 administration. The results are confirmed by CD31 microvessel density analysis on Matrigel plug slices. QS-13 peptide decreases Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) migration and pseudotube formation in vitro. Relevant QS-13 conformations were obtained from molecular dynamics simulations and docking. A putative interaction of QS-13 with α5β1 integrin was investigated. The interaction was confirmed by affinity chromatography, solid phase assay, and surface plasmon resonance. QS-13 binding site on α5β1 integrin is located in close vicinity to the RGD binding site, as demonstrated by competition assays. Collectively, our results suggest that QS-13 exhibits a mighty anti-angiogenic activity that could be used in cancer treatment and other pathologies with excessive angiogenesis such as hemangioma, psoriasis or diabetes.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) like exosomes and shed microvesicles are generated by many different cells. However, among all the cells, cancer cells are now recognized to secrete more EVs than healthy cells. Tumor-derived EVs can be isolated from biofluids such as blood, urine, ascitic fluid, and saliva. Their numerous components (nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids) possess many pleiotropic functions involved in cancer progression. The tumor-derived EVs generated under the influence of tumor microenvironment play distant roles and promote cellular communication by directly interacting with different cells. Moreover, they modulate extracellular matrix remodeling and tumor progression. Tumor-derived EVs are involved in pre-metastatic niche formation, dependent on the EV-associated protein receptors, and in cancer chemoresistance as they transfer drug-resistance-related genes to recipient cells. Recent advances in preclinical and clinical fields suggest their potential use as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis as well as for drug delivery in cancer. In this Review, we discuss EV characteristics and pro-tumor capacities, and highlight the future crucial impact of tumor-derived EVs in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of various cell types embedded in an altered extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM not only serves as a support for tumor cell but also regulates cell-cell or cell-matrix cross-talks. Alterations in ECM may be induced by hypoxia and acidosis, by oxygen free radicals generated by infiltrating inflammatory cells or by tumor- or stromal cell-secreted proteases. A poorer diagnosis for patients is often associated with ECM alterations. Tumor ECM proteome, also named cancer matrisome, is strongly altered, and different ECM protein signatures may be defined to serve as prognostic biomarkers. Collagen network reorganization facilitates tumor cell invasion. Proteoglycan expression and location are modified in the TME and affect cell invasion and metastatic dissemination. ECM macromolecule degradation by proteases may induce the release of angiogenic growth factors but also the release of proteoglycan-derived or ECM protein fragments, named matrikines or matricryptins. This review will focus on current knowledge and new insights in ECM alterations, degradation, and reticulation through cross-linking enzymes and on the role of ECM fragments in the control of cancer progression and their potential use as biomarkers in cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor microenvironment is a complex system composed of a largely altered extracellular matrix with different cell types that determine angiogenic responses and tumor progression. Upon the influence of hypoxia, tumor cells secrete cytokines that activate stromal cells to produce proteases and angiogenic factors. In addition to stromal ECM breakdown, proteases exert various pro- or anti-tumorigenic functions and participate in the release of various ECM fragments, named matrikines or matricryptins, capable to act as endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors and to limit tumor progression. SCOPE OF REVIEW We will focus on the matrikines derived from the NC1 domains of the different constitutive chains of basement membrane-associated collagens and mainly collagen IV. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS The putative targets of the matrikine control are the proliferation and invasive properties of tumor or inflammatory cells, and the angiogenic and lymphangiogenic responses. Collagen-derived matrikines such as canstatin, tumstatin or tetrastatin for example, decrease tumor growth in various cancer models. Their anti-cancer activities comprise anti-proliferative effects on tumor or endothelial cells by induction of apoptosis or cell cycle blockade and the induction of a loss of their migratory phenotype. They were used in various preclinical therapeutic strategies: i) induction of their overexpression by cancer cells or by the host cells, ii) use of recombinant proteins or synthetic peptides or structural analogues designed from the structure of the active sequences, iii) used in combined therapies with conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Collagen-derived matrikines strongly inhibited tumor growth in many preclinical cancer models in mouse. They constitute a new family of anti-cancer agents able to limit cancer progression. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Matrix-mediated cell behaviour and properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NC1 domains from α1, α2, α3 and α6(IV) collagen chains were shown to exert anti-tumor or anti-angiogenic activities, whereas the NC1 domain of the α4(IV) chain did not show such activities so far. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We demonstrate in the present paper that the NC1 α4(IV) domain exerts a potent anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in an experimental human melanoma model in vivo. The overexpression of NC1 α4(IV) in human UACC-903 melanoma cells strongly inhibited their in vitro proliferative (-38%) and invasive (-52%) properties. MT1-MMP activation was largely decreased and its cellular distribution was modified, resulting in a loss of expression at the migration front associated with a loss of migratory phenotype. In an in vivo xenograft model in athymic nude mice, the subcutaneous injection of NC1 α4(IV)-overexpressing melanoma cells induced significantly smaller tumors (-80% tumor volume) than the Mock cells, due to a strong inhibition of tumor growth. Exogenously added recombinant human NC1 α4(IV) reproduced the inhibitory effects of NC1 α4(IV) overexpression in UACC-903 cells but not in dermal fibroblasts. An anti-αvβ3 integrin blocking antibody inhibited cell adhesion on recombinant human NC1 α4(IV) substratum. The involvement of αvβ3 integrin in mediating NC1 α4(IV) effect was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding assays showing that recombinant human NC1 α4(IV) binds to αvβ3 integrin (K(D) = 148 ± 9.54 nM). CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE Collectively, our results demonstrate that the NC1 α4(IV) domain, named tetrastatin, is a new endogenous anti-tumor matrikine.

Abstract
The term "matrikines" was coined for designating peptides liberated by partial proteolysis of extracellular matrix macromolecules, which are able to regulate cell activities. Among these peptides, some of them may modulate proliferation, migration, protease production, or apoptosis. In this review, we summarize the activity of matrikines derived from elastin and interstitial or basement membrane collagens on the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases expression and/or activation, and on the plasminogen/plasmin system. Due to their activity, matrikines may play a significant role in physiological or pathological processes such as wound healing or tumor invasion.

Abstract
Many biological processes such as cell differentiation, cell migration or gene expression are tightly controlled by cell-cell interactions or by various cytokines. During tumor progression, cancer cells are in contact with extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecules involving specific receptors such as integrins. The different stages of tumor progression, and mainly the proteolytic cascades implicated in extracellular matrix degradation and cell migration, may be controlled by the extracellular matrix macromolecules or by domains released by directed and limited proteolysis of these molecules. In this review, we summarise the biological effects of various peptides, named matrikines, derived from basement membranes (BM) components, such as laminins (LN), proteoglycans or collagens. These peptides may control tumor progression by regulating the proteolytic cascades leading to cancer cell dissemination and metastasis.

Abstract
Tumor progression may be controlled by various fragments derived from noncollagenous 1 (NC1) C-terminal domains of type IV collagen. We demonstrated previously that a peptide sequence from the NC1 domain of the alpha3(IV) collagen chain inhibits the in vitro expression of matrix metalloproteinases in human melanoma cells through RGD-independent binding to alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. In the present paper, we demonstrate that in a mouse melanoma model, the NC1 alpha3(IV)-(185-203) peptide inhibits in vivo tumor growth in a conformation-dependent manner. The decrease of tumor growth is the result of an inhibition of cell proliferation and a decrease of cell invasive properties by down-regulation of proteolytic cascades, mainly matrix metalloproteinases and the plasminogen activation system. A shorter peptide comprising the seven N-terminal residues 185-191 (CNYYSNS) shares the same inhibitory profile. The three-dimensional structures of the CNYYSNS and NC1 alpha3(IV)-(185-203) peptides show a beta-turn at the YSNS (188-191) sequence level, which is crucial for biological activity. As well, the homologous MNYYSNS heptapeptide keeps the beta-turn and the inhibitory activity. In contrast, the DNYYSNS heptapeptide, which does not form the beta-turn at the YSNS level, is devoid of inhibitory activity. Structural studies indicate a strong structure-function relationship of the peptides and point to the YSNS turn as necessary for biological activity. These peptides could act as potent and specific antitumor antagonists of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin in melanoma progression.

Abstract
The degradation of basement membranes by tumor cells involves secretion and activation of proteinases, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the plasminogen activation system (uPA, tPA, PAI-1), and results from an imbalance between their inhibitors and activators, controlled by various growth factors or cytokines. Among them, the TGF-beta family is one of the most intriguing because it has been reported either to decrease or promote cancer progression. In the present paper, we studied the effect of TGF-beta1 in a mouse melanoma model. In vivo, TGF-beta1 inhibited tumor growth after subcutaneous injection of B16F1 cells in syngenic mice. In vitro, TGF-beta1 did not alter B16F1 cell proliferation, but strongly decreased their migration through Matrigel-coated membranes. The protease production was analyzed by zymography, Western blot, or RT-PCR. MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression were not altered by TGF-beta1. In contrast, TGF-beta1 triggered a large decrease of uPA and tPA, as well as a decrease of uPA and uPAR mRNAs. By Western blot and RT-PCR analyses, TGF-beta1 was shown to induce a strong increase of PAI-1 synthesis. Collectively, these results suggest that TGF-beta1 may inhibit melanoma tumor growth by specifically decreasing plasmin activity of tumor cells and play a protective role during the earliest stages of tumor progression.

Abstract
We have recently identified integrin alpha(v)beta(3) and the associated CD47/integrin-associated protein (IAP) together with three other proteins as the potential tumor cell receptors for the alpha(3) chain of basement membrane type IV collagen (Shahan, T.A., Ziaie, Z., Pasco, S., Fawzi, A., Bellon, G., Monboisse, J. C., and Kefalides, N. A. (1999) Cancer Res. 59, 4584-4590). Using different cell lines expressing alpha(v)beta(3), alpha(IIb)beta(3), and/or CD47 and a liquid phase receptor capture assay, we now provide direct evidence that the synthetic and biologically active alpha3(IV)185-206 peptide, derived from the alpha3(IV) chain, interacts with the beta(3) subunit of integrin alpha(v)beta(3), independently of CD47. Increased alpha3(IV) peptide binding was observed on transforming growth factor-beta(1)-stimulated HT-144 cells shown to up-regulate alpha(v)beta(3) independently of CD47. Also, incubation of HT-144 melanoma cells in suspension induced de novo exposure of ligand-induced binding site epitopes on the beta(3) subunit similar to those observed following Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) stimulation. However, RGDS did not prevent HT-144 cell attachment and spreading on the alpha3(IV) peptide, suggesting that the alpha3(IV) binding domain on the beta(3) subunit is distinct from the RGD recognition site. alpha3(IV) peptide binding to HT-144 cells in suspension stimulated time-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation, while the RGDS peptide did not. Two major phosphotyrosine proteins of 120-130 and 85 kDa were immunologically identified as focal adhesion kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). A direct involvement of PI3-kinase in alpha3(IV)-dependent beta(3) integrin signaling could be documented, since pretreatment of HT-144 cells with wortmannin, a PI3-kinase inhibitor, reverted the known inhibitory effect of alpha3(IV) on HT-144 cell proliferation as well as membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase gene expression. These results provide evidence that the alpha3(IV)185-206 peptide, by directly interacting with the beta(3) subunit of alpha(v)beta(3), activates a signaling cascade involving focal adhesion kinase and PI3-kinase.

Abstract
Glycation and glycoxidation processes, which are increased in diabetes mellitus, are generally considered causative mechanisms of long-term complications. With reference to our previous studies, type-I and -IV collagens could induce differentially the adhesion and stimulation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs). As PMNs play a role in sustained diabetic oxidative stress, the present study was designed to determine whether in vitro glycoxidation of these macromolecules could alter PMN adhesion, activation and migration. The adhesion of PMNs to in vitro-glycoxidized collagens was significantly increased when compared with control collagens: +37% (P<0.05) and +99% (P<0.01) for collagens I and IV, respectively. Glycoxidized type-I collagen increased the chemotactic properties of PMNs without significant stimulatory effect on respiratory burst, whereas pre-incubation of PMNs with glycoxidized type-I collagen induced a priming on subsequent stimulation by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. Glycoxidation of type-IV collagen suppressed its inhibitory effect on further PMN stimulation or migration. Collectively, these results indicate that glycoxidation of two major extracellular-matrix collagens considerably alters their ability to modulate PMN migration and production of reactive oxygen species. This imbalance in PMN metabolism may be a major event in the increased oxidative status that characterizes diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Previous studies from our laboratories demonstrated that a peptide from the noncollagenous domain of the alpha3 chain of basement membrane collagen (COL IV), comprising residues 185-203, inhibits polymorphonuclear leukocyte activation and melanoma cell proliferation; this property requires the presence of the triplet -SNS- in residues 189-191 (Monboisse et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269, 25475, 1994; Han et al., J. Biol. Chem., 272, 20395, 1997). In the present study, we demonstrate that whole native COL IV and -SNS- containing synthetic peptides (10 microg/ml) added to culture medium inhibit the proliferation of not only melanoma cells, but also breast-, pancreas- and stomach-tumor cells up to 67%, and prostate tumor cells by 15%. ALC-COL IV at 5 microg/ml was shown to inhibit melanoma cell proliferation maximally at 69% and the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide inhibited proliferation (62%) maximally at 10 microg/ml. Treatment of the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide with either a specific mAb or a polyclonal antibody, prepared against the sequence alpha3(IV)179-208, decreased the ability of the peptide to inhibit cell proliferation by 97%, while treatment of ALC-COL IV with the same antibodies inhibited proliferation by 44%. Exposure of the above tumor cells to COL IV or the peptides resulted in an increase of intracellular cAMP that was inhibited by prior treatment of the protein with the above antibodies. To investigate the role of cAMP in the inhibition of cell proliferation, cAMP analogs and inhibitors were used. cAMP analogs mimicked the inhibitory effect of the peptide. Rp-cAMPS, a cAMP competitive inhibitor, suppressed the inhibitory effect of ALC-COL IV and of the cAMP analogs. The protein kinase-A inhibitor H-89 blocked the ability of ALC-COL IV and of the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. These data suggest that ALC-COL IV, through its alpha3(IV) chain, inhibits tumor cell proliferation utilizing a signal transduction pathway which includes cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase(s).

Abstract
Human blood monocytes are attracted into connective tissues during early steps of inflammation and wound healing, and locally interact with resident cells and extracellular matrix proteins. We studied the effects of type I collagen on monocyte adhesion and superoxide anion production, using human monocytes elutriated from peripheral blood and type I collagen obtained from rat tail tendon. Both acid-soluble and pepsin-digested type I collagens promoted the adhesion of monocytes, whereas only acid-soluble collagen with intact telopeptides induced the production of superoxide. Adhesion and activation of monocytes on acid-soluble type I collagen depended on the presence of divalent cations. mAbs directed against integrin subunits CD11c and CD18 specifically inhibited adhesion and activation of monocytes on type I collagen. Protein membrane extracts obtained from monocytes were submitted to affinity chromatography on collagen I-Sepharose 4B, and analyzed by Western blotting using specific anti-integrin subunit Abs. In the case of both acid-soluble and pepsin-digested collagens, two bands were revealed with mAbs against CD11c and CD18 integrin subunits. Our results demonstrate that monocytes interact with type I collagen through CD11c-CD18 (alpha x beta 2) integrins, which promote their adhesion and activation. For monocyte activation, specific domains of the type I collagen telopeptides are necessary. Interactions between monocytes and collagen are most likely involved in the cascade of events that characterize the initial phases of inflammation.

Abstract
Previous reports from our laboratories showed that type IV collagen from anterior lens capsule (ALC) inhibited stimulated neutrophil function. This property was shown to reside in the region comprising residues 185-203 of the non-collagenous domain (NC1) of the alpha 3(IV) chain. We also reported that ALC-type IV collagen or the synthetic alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide, induced a rise in intracellular cAMP which persisted for up to 60 minutes. In the present work we extend our previous studies on signal transduction by alpha 3(IV) 185-203 and we provide new data showing the involvement of cAMP-dependent PKA and protein phosphatases. The data also show that the alpha 3(IV) peptide triggered a rise in intracellular calcium that was dependent on phospholipase C activation. Inhibitors of the Ca(2+)/calmodulin system suppressed both the alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide-induced cAMP increase and the inhibitory activity of the peptide on f-Met-Leu-Phe triggered O(2)(-) generation. When alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide-induced calcium mobilization was blocked by U-73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C activation, or by BAPTA/AM, a chelator of intracellular calcium, the inhibitory effect of the peptide on PMA-triggered O(2)(-) production was also abolished. These findings provide evidence that signal transduction by the alpha 3(IV) peptide occurs via pathways which involve calcium. Indeed, the cAMP increase was shown to be mediated by adenosine and adenosine A2 receptors and required calcium elevation, since adenosine deaminase, theophilline, dimethylpropargylxanthine, trifluoperazine or autocamtide-2 related inhibitory peptide, suppressed the activity of the alpha 3(IV) peptide. The inhibitory effect of the peptide on f-Met-Leu-Phe-induced O(2)(-) generation was slightly affected by 1 microM KT5720 or H89, two inhibitors of cAMP-dependent PKA, but was completely suppressed by 10 nM calyculin A or 10 microM okadaic acid, two inhibitors of ser/thr phosphatases. These results suggest that Ser/Thr protein phosphatases and/or cAMP-dependent PKA are involved in signal transduction by the alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide and is consistent with the concept that adenosine receptor occupancy modulates neutrophil function.

Abstract
The activity of connective tissue cells is modulated by a number of factors present in their environment. In addition to the soluble factors such as hormones, cytokines or growth factors, cells also receive signals from the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecules. Moreover, they may degrade the ECM proteins and liberate peptides which may by themselves constitute new signals for the surrounding cells. Therefore, an actual regulation loop exists in connective tissue, constituted by peptides generated by ECM degradation and connective tissue cells. The term of "matrikine" has been proposed to designate such ECM-derived peptides able to regulate cell activity. In this review, we summarize some data obtained in our laboratory with two different matrikines: the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine (GHK) and the heptapeptide cysteinyl-asparaginyl-tyrosyl-tyrosyl-seryl-asparaginyl-serine (CNYYSNS). GHK is a potent activator of ECM synthesis and remodeling, whereas CNYYSNS is able to inhibit polymorphonuclear leukocytes activation and decrease the invasive capacities of cancer cells.

Abstract
Studies from our laboratories demonstrated that synthetic peptides from the non-collagenous (NC-1) domain of the alpha3 (IV) chain of type IV collagen (COL IV) enhanced tumor cell adhesion (Han, J., Ohno, N., Monboisse, J. C., Pasco, S., Borel, J. P., and Kefalides, N. A. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 20395-20401). We have isolated the receptors for the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide from melanoma and prostate tumor cells and identified them as CD47/integrin-associated protein and the integrin alpha(V)beta(3) (Shahan, T. A., Ziaie, Z., Pasco, S., Fawzi, A., Bellon, G., Monboisse, J. C., and Kefalides, N. A. (1999) Cancer Res. 59, 4584-4590). In the present study we have examined the effect of CD47 and the integrin alpha(V)beta(3) on in vitro tumor cell chemotaxis and Ca(2+)(i) modulation in response to COL IV, from the anterior lens capsule (ALC-COL IV) and peptides from its NC-1 domain. COL IV as well as the alpha3(IV) peptide promoted tumor cell chemotaxis with an immediate increase in intracellular [Ca(2+)]. Treating tumor cells with CD47 and integrin alpha(V)beta(3)-reactive antibodies reduced chemotaxis as well as the rise in [Ca(2+)](i) in response to ALC-COL IV or the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide but not to Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm-COL IV or fibronectin. The alpha3(IV)185-203 synthetic peptide stimulated an increase in calcium from intracellular stores exclusively, whereas ALC-COL IV, Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm-COL IV, and fibronectin stimulated Ca(2+) flux from both internal and external stores. Furthermore, treatment of the cells with Ca(2+) chelator bis-(O-aminophenoxyl)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraaceticacid- acetomethoxy ester inhibited chemotaxis toward both ALC-COL IV and the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide. These data indicate that CD47 and integrin alpha(V)beta(3) regulate tumor cell chemotaxis in response to COL IV and the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide through a Ca(2+)-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The invasive properties of melanoma cells correlate with the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their physiological modulators (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase and membrane-type MMPs) and with that of the alphaVbeta3 integrin. We investigated the effect of anterior lens capsule type IV collagen and of the alpha3(IV) collagen chain on the invasive properties of various tumor cell lines (HT-144 melanoma cells, HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells). We demonstrated that anterior lens capsule type IV collagen or specifically the synthetic peptide alpha3(IV) 185-203 inhibited both the migration of melanoma or fibrosarcoma cells as well as the activation of membrane-bound MMP-2 by decreasing the expressions of MT1-MMP and the beta3 integrin subunit.

Abstract
Nonenzymatic glycation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is increased in diabetes mellitus and aging and triggers cellular events leading to an imbalance in ECM homeostasis. We studied the influence of collagen glycation on matrix metalloproteinase production by dermal fibroblasts using the model of lattice cultures. Contraction of glycated collagen lattices was strongly reduced when compared to controls. Meanwhile, fibroblasts synthesized lower amounts of interstitial collagenase (MMP-1). Gelatinase A (MMP-2) production was not modified, but its activation was strongly inhibited. These effects were independent from the intensity of lattice contraction and from any simultaneous modification of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1 and 2) production. These results demonstrate that the impaired ability of fibroblasts to remodel and contract a glycated extracellular matrix coincides with a decrease in MMP production.

Abstract
Previous studies from our laboratories demonstrated that a peptide from the noncollagenous domain of the alpha3 chain of basement membrane collagen (COL IV), comprising residues 185-203, inhibits polymorphonuclear leukocyte activation and melanoma cell proliferation independently of its ability to promote cell adhesion; these properties require the presence of the triplet -SNS- at residues 189-191 (J. C. Monboisse et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269: 25475-25482, 1994; J. Han et al., J. Biol. Chem., 272: 20395-20401, 1997). More recently, we demonstrated that native COL IV and -SNS-containing synthetic peptides (10 microg/ml) added to culture medium inhibit the proliferation of not only melanoma cells but also breast, pancreas, and stomach tumor cells up to 82% and prostate tumor cells by 15%. This inhibition was shown to be dependent on a COL IV- or peptide-induced increase in intracellular cAMP (T. A. Shahan et al., Connect. Tissue Res., 40: 221-232, 1999). Attempts to identify the putative receptor(s) on tumor cells led to the isolation of five proteins (Mr 33,000, 52,000, 72,000, 95,000, and 250,000) from melanoma and prostate cells by affinity purification with the alpha3(IV)179-208 peptide. The Mr 52,000, 95,000, and 250,000 proteins were shown to be CD47/integrin-associated protein(IAP), the integrin beta3 subunit, and the alpha(v)beta3 integrin complex, respectively. The Mr 33,000 and 72,000 proteins have not yet been identified. To confirm the specificity of ligand binding to the receptors, cell membranes from either melanoma or prostate tumor cells were pretreated with the unlabeled ligand alpha3(IV)187-191 (-YYSNS-); alternatively, the peptide was pretreated with a peptide-reactive monoclonal antibody (A5D7) before receptor isolation. These treatments inhibited the purification of CD47/IAP, the integrin beta3 subunit, and the alpha(v)beta3 integrin complex from tumor cells. Furthermore, cells treated with CD47/IAP- or the alpha(v)beta3 integrin-reactive antibodies prevented the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide from inhibiting cell proliferation and the subsequent rise in intracellular cAMP. Pretreating cells with the alpha3(IV)187-191 (-YYSNS-) peptide also inhibited their adhesion to the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide substrate, whereas the inactive alpha1(IV)185-203 peptide, from the same region of the alpha1 chain as the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide, had no effect. Incubation of cells with either CD47/IAP and/or alpha(v)beta3 integrin-reactive antibodies inhibited their adhesion to the alpha3(IV)185-203 peptide, whereas antibodies to the beta1 and beta2 integrin subunits were without effect. These data suggest that ALC-COL IV, through its alpha3(IV) chain, inhibits tumor cell proliferation using the receptors CD47/IAP and the alpha(v)beta3 integrin.

Abstract
We have shown that basement membrane (BM) collagen (type IV), and specifically the peptide CNYYSNSYSFWLASLNPER (a.a. 185-203), from the non-collagenous domain of the alpha3 chain inhibits PMN. We examined the role of this peptide on PMN damage to BM in a vessel wall model. The presence of the endothelial monolayer as well as treatment of PMN with the alpha3(IV) 185-203 peptide reduced damage to BM by non-activated but not by activated PMN. The damage inhibition is unique to the alpha3(IV) peptide and not exhibited by comparable alpha1(IV) and alpha2(IV) chain peptides. A shorter peptide alpha3(IV) 185-191, containing the -SNS- triplet, reduced damage, whereas the one lacking the triplet, residues 194-203, was not effective. The CD47-alphavbeta3 integrin complex is the receptor for the alpha3(IV) peptide. Incubation of PMN with CD47 reactive mAb followed by the alpha3(IV) peptide abolished its protective effect on BM damage.

Abstract
Our previous studies have shown that a peptide corresponding to the residue sequence 185-203 of the NC1 domain of the alpha3 chain of basement membrane collagen (type IV) inhibits the activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Peptides from the same region of the alpha1, alpha2, alpha4, and alpha5(IV) chains did not exhibit this property. Because of the intimate relationship between metastasizing neoplastic cells and vascular as well as epithelial basement membranes, we measured the cell adhesion-promoting activity of peptides from the NC1 domain of type IV collagen and their effect on proliferation of human melanoma cells. We found that peptide alpha3(IV)185-203 (CNYYSNSYSFWLASLNPER) not only promotes adhesion of human melanoma cells but also inhibits their proliferation. Adhesion increased by 50-60% over control. Melanoma cell proliferation was inhibited by 40% when cells were grown in a medium containing 5 microg/ml peptide for 5 days. Studies showed that replacement of serine in position 189 or 191 by alanine resulted in significantly reduced adhesion. Similarly, serine replacement resulted in reduced ability to inhibit proliferation. Our data suggest that a region of the NC1 domain of the alpha3(IV) chain, contained within the sequence 185-203, not only specifically promotes adhesion but also inhibits proliferation of melanoma cells. These properties appear to be dependent on the presence of the triplet sequence -SNS- (residues 189-191), which is unique to the alpha3 chain and may represent an important functional epitope.

Abstract
Tumour invasion is associated with strong remodelling of the extracellular matrix, including the basement membrane (BM). The major structural component of BMs is type IV collagen, which is composed of an association of three a chains. In this study, the distribution of the a1 and a3 chains in both normal and neoplastic lung tissues has been examined by immunohistochemistry, using specific monoclonal antibodies. In normal tissues, the a1(IV) chain was found in all BMs, whereas the a3(IV) chain was only found in alveolar BMs. In 36 lung tumours, the a1(IV) chain was detected in all cases, with irregular positivity around tumour clusters and in the stroma. It was noteworthy that this stromal distribution was particularly associated with the presence of cancer cells, whatever their invasive properties. In contrast, in 22 tumours out of 36, the a3(IV) chain was only found at the interface between invasive tumour clusters and stroma, with a linear and disrupted pattern. These data show a distinctive distribution of type IV collagen chains in lung tumours, with expression of a1(IV) chain and likely neosynthesis of the a3(IV) chain around some invasive tumour clusters. The results suggest the involvement of these BM components in the process of tumour invasion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum Lp(a) levels are generally considered unaffected by non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). However, high Lp(a) concentrations as well as an increased rate of nonenzymatic glycation of proteins may be involved in degenerative diabetic complications. DESIGN AND METHODS We measured serum glycated Lp(a) levels in 17 NIDDM patients, as compared to 14 normoglycaemic controls. Glycated proteins were separated from nonglycated ones by boronate affinity chromatography, and specific proteins assayed by immunonephelometric methods in both fractions. RESULTS The percentage of glycated Lp(a) was 1.5 +/- 0.4% (mean +/- SD) in the control group, and was significantly higher in NIDDM patients: 4.3 +/- 1.5% (p < 0.01). The basal level of Lp(a) glycation was lower than that of other proteins, particularly apo B (4.0 +/- 0.7%). By contrast, the variations of glycated Lp(a) levels were of greater amplitude (+ 187%) than those of glycated apo B (+ 67%). Glycated Lp(a) values were significantly elevated in patients with micro and macrovascular complications in comparison with uncomplicated patients. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that glycated Lp(a) may be considered a potentially interesting parameter in the pathophysiology of diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies to the alpha L beta 2 integrin inhibit the binding of type I collagen to PMN (polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes) as well as the subsequent stimulation of superoxide production and enzyme secretion-elicited by this collagen. Pepsinized collagen still binds PMN but no longer stimulates them. The I domain of the alpha chain of the integrin is involved in the binding. Two sequences of the alpha 1(I) polypeptide chain of collagen participate in the process. Experiments of competitive inhibition by synthetic peptides showed that the sequence RGD (915-917) is used for binding to the cells and DGGRYY (1034-1039) serves to stimulate PMN. Experiments of radioactive labeling of the cells and affinity chromatography on Sepharose-collagen confirmed the presence in PMN extracts of two proteins, 95 and 185 kDa, respectively, corresponding to the molecular weights of the beta 2 and alpha L chains of the integrin and recognized by their specific monoclonal antibodies. The transduction pathways depending on the alpha L beta 2 integrin do not involve a G protein (ruled out by the use of cholera and pertussis toxins), whereas the cytoskeleton was found to participate in the process, as evidenced by inhibition by cytochalasin B. After collagen stimulation, cytoplasmic inositol trisphosphate and calcium ion increased sharply for less than 2 min. The use of the inhibitors staurosporine and calphostin C demonstrated that protein kinase C was involved. Evaluation of the activity of this enzyme showed that, upon stimulation of PMN with collagen I, it was translocated to plasma membrane. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the protein bands corresponding to the integrin alpha L beta 2, followed by immunoblotting using monoclonal antibodies to phosphotyrosine, permitted us to demonstrate that, prior to stimulation by type I collagen, there was no phosphorylation, whereas after stimulation, both alpha L and beta 2 chains were stained by anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. The adhesion of PMN to pepsinized type I collagen triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta 2 chain of the integrin, without stimulating O2-. production by these cells, whereas their stimulation by complete type I collagen induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of both alpha L and beta 2 subunits. The tyrosine phosphorylation of both integrin subunits during transduction of stimuli is a heretofore undescribed phenomenon that may correspond to a new system of transmembrane communication.

Abstract
We have previously shown that glutamine stimulates the synthesis of collagen in human dermal confluent fibroblast cultures (Bellon, G. et al. [1987] Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 930, 39-47). In this paper, we examine the effects of glutamine on collagen gene expression. A dose-dependent effect of glutamine on collagen synthesis was demonstrated from 0 to 0.25 mM followed by a plateau up to 10 mM glutamine. Depending on the cell population, collagen synthesis was increased by 1.3-to 2.3-fold. The mean increase in collagen and non-collagen protein synthesis was 63% and 18% respectively. Steady-state levels of alpha 1(I) and alpha 1(III) mRNAs, were measured by hybridizing total RNA to specific cDNA probes at high stringency. Glutamine increased the steady-state level of collagen alpha 1(I) and alpha 1(III) mRNAs in a dose-dependent manner. At 0.15 mM glutamine, collagen mRNAs were increased by 1.7-and 2.3-fold respectively. Nuclear run-off experiments at this concentration of glutamine indicated that the transcriptional activity was increased by 3.4-fold for the pro alpha 1(I) collagen gene. The effect of glutamine on gene transcription was also supported by the measurement of pro alpha 1(I) collagen mRNA half-life since glutamine did not affect its stability. Protein synthesis seemed to be required for the glutamine-dependent induction of collagen gene expression since cycloheximide suppressed the activation. The effect of glutamine appeared specific because analogues and/or derivatives of glutamine, such as acivicin, 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine, homoglutamine, ammonium chloride and glutamate did not replace glutamine. The influence of amino acid transport systems through plasma membrane was assessed by the use of 2(methylamino)-isobutyric acid and beta 2-aminobicyclo-(2.2.1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid. The glutamine-dependent induction of collagen gene expression was found to be independent of transport system A but dependent on transport system L whose inhibition induced a decrease in pro alpha 1(I) collagen gene transcription by an unknown mechanism. Thus, glutamine, at physiological concentrations, indirectly regulates collagen gene expression.

Abstract
Our initial observation that type I collagen activates polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) prompted the testing of the activating potential of type IV collagen. It was noted, however, that type IV collagen isolated from bovine lens capsule did not activate PMN but rather prevented their stimulation by N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, phorbol myristate acetate, or type I collagen. This observation led to the present study, which demonstrates that the inhibitory effect of lens capsule type IV collagen resides in the noncollagenous (NC1) domain of the alpha 3 chain and specifically in the region comprising residues 185-203 of the NC1 domain of both the human and bovine molecules. Synthetic peptides from the same region of the NC1 domains of the alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 4, and alpha 5 chains did not possess the inhibitory effect seen with the alpha 3 chain. The sequence S-N-S (residues 189-191) is unique to the peptide of the alpha 3 chain, and substitution of either serine with alanine abolishes the inhibition. Type IV collagen isolated from the mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor, a molecule that lacks the alpha 3 chain, did not prevent PMN activation but instead stimulated the secretion of elastase and type IV collagenase. Incubation of PMN with intact lens capsule type IV collagen or a peptide comprising residues 185-203 of the alpha 3 (IV) chain resulted in a 3-fold increase of intracellular cAMP, whereas, Ca2+ levels remained unchanged. Incubating PMN with forskolin or with dibutyryl-cAMP resulted in the inhibition of O2- production and degranulation by PMN, thus mimicking the effects of type IV collagen and the alpha 3 (IV) 185-203 peptide. The data suggest that type IV collagen, through its alpha 3 chain, down-regulates PMN activation and thus decreases the potential for damage as these cells traverse the capillary wall. Our in vitro experiments suggest that the higher the content of the alpha 3 (IV) chain is in a basement membrane, the wider would be its capacity for self-protection.

Abstract
The tripeptide-copper complex glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-Cu2+ (GHK-Cu) was first described as a growth factor for differentiated cells. Recent in vitro data showed that it possesses several properties of a potential activator of wound repair. We investigated the effects of GHK-Cu in vivo, using the wound chamber model described previously (Schilling, J.A., W. Joel, and M.T. Shurley, 1959. Surgery [St. Louis]. 46:702-710). Stainless steel wire mesh cylinders were implanted subcutaneously on the back of rats. The animals were divided into groups that received sequential injections into the wound chamber of either saline (control group) or various concentrations of GHK-Cu. At the end of the experiments, rats were killed, wound chambers were collected, and their content was analyzed for dry weight, total proteins, collagen, DNA, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, and specific mRNAs for collagens and TGF beta. In the GHK-Cu-injected wound chambers, a concentration-dependent increase of dry weight, DNA, total protein, collagen, and glycosaminoglycan contents was found. The stimulation of collagen synthesis was twice that of noncollagen proteins. Type I and type III collagen mRNAs were increased but not TGF beta mRNAs. An increase of the relative amount of dermatan sulfate was also found. A control tripeptide, L-glutamyl-L-histidyl-L-proline, had no significant effect. These results demonstrate that GHK-Cu is able to increase extracellular matrix accumulation in wounds in vivo.

Abstract
After separation of the various alpha chains of the collagens by SDS-PAGE, the binding of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) to these chains was detected by a double-antibody technique and the activation of PMN by nitro blue tetrazolium. All of the alpha chains tested were able to bind PMNs. The alpha 1 chain of type I collagen activated the PMN when it had not been treated with pepsin. Pepsinized types II and VI collagens did not activate PMN. The pepsinized alpha 1(III) chains and all three alpha chains from pepsinized type V collagen were able to activate PMN.

Abstract
In a previous study, we found that type I collagen activates human polymorphonuclear neutrophils by binding to a membrane integrin [3]. The activation depends on two sequences, both contained in the alpha 1 (I) CB6 peptide, one is RGD, starting at residue 915, and the second is DGGRYY, starting at residue 1034 of the alpha 1(I) chain. We checked the effect of several other types of collagens, principally type IV collagen from several origins. The basement membrane from bovine lens as well as type IV collagen prepared from it by tartaric acid extraction did not activate the human neutrophils. In contrast, when neutrophils had been previously in contact with type IV collagen their activation by type I or the alpha 1(I) CB6 peptide, or the bacterial peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, was inhibited. This effect was abolished when type IV collagen had been previously treated by pepsin. On the other hand, the fractions of type IV collagen that resisted digestion by bacterial collagenase still exhibited this inhibiting effect. This effect probably explains the physiological property of neutrophils to cross vascular walls without being activated.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix molecules, such as collagens, are good targets for oxygen free radicals. Collagen is the only protein susceptible to fragmentation by superoxide anion as demonstrated by the liberation of small 4-hydroxyproline-containing-peptides. It seems likely that hydroxyl radicals in the presence of oxygen cleave collagen into small peptides, and the cleavage seems to be specific to proline or 4-hydroxyproline residues. Hydroxyl radicals in the absence of oxygen or hypochlorous acid do not induce fragmentation of collagen molecules, but they trigger a polymerization of collagen through the formation of new cross-links such as dityrosine or disulfure bridges. Moreover, these cross-links can not explain the totality of high molecular weight components generated under these experimental conditions, and the nature of new cross-links induced by hydroxyl radicals or hypochlorous acid remains unclear.

Abstract
After a 30 min contact between purified bovine lens capsule basement membrane type IV collagen and polymorphonuclear neutrophils, stimulation of these cells by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, PMA or type I collagen releases a decreased amount of superoxide ions (negative priming). The inhibitory activity is located in the NCl domain. On the other hand, after pepsin digestion, the helical part of type IV collagen determines a positive priming of neutrophils.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the alpha 1(I) polypeptide chain of collagen can bind and activate polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). In the present experiments, performed in culture grade 96-well plastic plates coated with collagen, fibronectin, or other proteins, adhesion was assessed by staining the adhering cells after 30 min with crystal violet and measuring absorbance at 560 nm, and activation of PMNs was assessed by measuring the amount of O2-formed. Adhesion occurred at 17 and 37 degrees C but activation at 37 degrees C only. Monoclonal antibody anti-CD 18 inhibited adhesion, showing that the receptor of collagen I on PMNs is a beta 2 integrin. On the other hand, adhesion of PMNs to fibronectin was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies to CD18 and to CD11b.

Abstract
All the living molecules appear to suffer from the deleterious effects of aging, but the primary mechanisms of this inexorable evolution are still unknown. In the case of proteins, two major types of chemical reactions participate in the aging phenomena: 1) structural transformations induced by the addition of radicals by enzymic or non-enzymic reactions, 2) proteolytic cleavages. Among the reactions of the first group, the nonenzymatic glycation is the more generalized, not only in diabetic patients but also in non diabetic subjects. This glycation depends on the probabilities of encounters between circulating glucose molecules and free amino groups existing either at the N-terminal end of the polypeptide chains or on the lysyl side chains. These reactions are more frequent in the extracellular spaces and connective tissues because glucose circulates freely in these spaces, because the level of glucose is better controlled inside the cells (and even lower in diabetes mellitus), and finally because the proteins of these regions, such as the collagens, fibronectin and elastin, are relatively long lived, even if their life-span is really shorter than it was precedently believed. The binding of sugar residues to protein amino groups determines frequent modifications of structure that often make the molecule inactive. For instance, when a glucose unit binds to a lysyl radical located in the active center of an enzyme, it suppresses the activity of this enzyme. More generally, in the case of the connective tissue proteins that participate in complex supramolecular assemblies, the presence of additional radicals on some ponctual locations may interfere with the correct association of molecules. This is particularly true for basement membranes whose structure is impaired in diabetes. Glycation might also introduce abnormal cross-links between polypeptides or modify the antigenic power of some proteins and explain the formation of autoantibodies. Another property of glycated proteins is their reaction with oxygen leading to the formation of superoxide. The binding of a reducing sugar on an amino function is followed by an Amadori rearrangement that forms a ketol group. Ketols groups have the property to transmit electrons to molecular oxygen, and to forming superoxide radicals. Superoxide is capable of degrading only one protein: collagen, but it is also able to transform itself into hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals, which are far more toxic than O2-. The result of the formation of these oxygen free radicals from glycated proteins is the initiation of the degradation of several types of proteins, like the collagens.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Contact between type I collagen purified from several species and human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) triggers the production of O2.- by these cells. The activity of collagen is located in the alpha 1(I)-CB6 cyanogen bromide-cleaved (CB)-peptide, which is the C-terminal CB-peptide of the alpha 1(I) chain. Experiments based on the competitive inhibition of O2.- production by simultaneous incubation of PMNs with type I collagen and synthetic peptides identical to the conserved sequences of this collagen demonstrated that the binding of collagen to PMNs and the subsequent activation of these cells depend on the simultaneous presence of two sequences: Arg-Gly-Asp [residues 915, 916 and 917 of the complete alpha 1(I) chain, located in the helical part] Asp-Gly-Gly-Arg-Tyr-Tyr (residues 1034-1039, located in the C-terminal non-helical telopeptide).

Abstract
Oxygen free radicals (OFR) can form by reaction of glycated proteins with molecular oxygen. We hypothesize that this mechanism operates in tissues of diabetic patients when their content of glycated proteins is significantly increased. OFR are harmful to polyunsaturated fatty acids of lipid membranes, proteins, sugars and DNA. The most significant complications of diabetes, for example polyneuritis, retinopathy, microangiopathy, perforating ulcers, impaired healing, may depend on the excessive production of OFR by glycated proteins. Clues to these effects may be deduced from the decrease of glutathione stores in red blood cells, and the increases of lipid peroxidation and malondialdehyde formation, all of which have been documented to occur in the course of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
A method for the evaluation of collagen concentrations in the medium of fibroblasts in culture was developed. Collagen was precipitated with other proteins by addition of ethanol and hydrolyzed by 6 M HCl. The primary amino acids of the hydrolyzate were reacted with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and secondary amino acids (Pro, Hyp) were derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl-chloroformate (FMOC-Cl). The mixture was separated by isocratic HPLC on a reverse-phase column. FMOC-derivatives were detected by fluorometry, whereas OPA-derivatives were not. This method is suitable for the monitoring of collagen metabolism in fibroblast cultures exposed to various effectors.

Abstract
Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (GHK) is a tripeptide with affinity for copper(II) ions and was isolated from human plasma. This peptide appears to play a physiological role in wound healing. We report the stimulating effect of GHK-Cu on collagen synthesis by fibroblasts. The stimulation began between 10(-12) and 10(-11) M, maximized at 10(-9) M, and was independent of any change in cell number. The presence of a GHK triplet in the alpha 2(I) chain of type I collagen suggests that the tripeptide might be liberated by proteases at the site of a wound and exert in situ healing effects.

Abstract
Delipidated collagen fibrils reconstituted from acid-soluble calf skin collagen, suspended in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 100 mM sodium formate, were submitted to pulse radiolysis in Febetron devices or to gamma radiolysis in a 60Co irradiator. A collagen degradation process was found. The kinetics of this degradation was followed by evaluation of the amount of 4-hydroxyproline present in the small peptides liberated during the irradiation period. The yield of 4-hydroxyproline small peptides was low (0.1 mol/100 eV for an initial collagen concentration 3.2 microM). It increased linearly with the dose of irradiation and the concentration of collagen in suspension. The kinetic competition between O2-. dismutation and O2-. reaction with collagen was studied by pulse radiolysis at several concentrations of collagen. A value of the kinetic constant of k(O2-. + collagen) = 4.8 . 10(6) mol-1.l.s-1 was determined.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), purified on Ficoll-Hypaque cushions, were incubated for 5 min with calf skin acid-soluble collagen and the released superoxide anions (O2-) measured spectrophotometrically by reduction of ferricytochrome c or by chemiluminescence analysis. This collagen stimulated the release of O2- unless it had been treated with pepsin. The stimulatory activity remained in denatured collagen, was contained only in the alpha 1(I) chain and was present in the alpha 1(I)-CB 6 (CNBr-cleaved) peptide, which is C-terminal. The activity was linearly dependent on the collagen concentration up to about 200 micrograms/ml. In addition, this collagen induced a release of beta-glucuronidase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase from PMNs.

Abstract
A technique of derivatizing proline and 4-hydroxyproline with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole was used to measure the radioactivities, concentrations and specific activities of proline and hydroxyproline. The technique was used to study the conditions of procollagen synthesis in cultured human foreskin fibroblasts. Procollagen synthesis appeared to be independent of the proline concentration in the medium, in the presence of glutamine, when monitored by the assay of non-dialyzable hydroxyproline, but not when monitored by [14C]proline incorporation. In the absence of unlabelled proline added to labelled proline in the medium, the specific activity of the secreted procollagen did not reach a plateau over a 24-h period. When the medium was supplemented with glutamine, glutamic acid, or aspartic acid, both the radioactivity and concentration of intracellular free proline decreased. Pyrrolidone-2-carboxylic acid and ornithine both induced a slight increase in concentration of the intracellular free proline. Glutamine competed with [14C]proline for incorporation into prolyl-tRNA and procollagen, independently of free intracellular proline, and it stimulated the biosynthesis of procollagen (expressed as non-dialyzable hydroxyproline) by a factor of 2.3.

Abstract
Human skin fibroblasts in confluent cultures were incubated for 24 h in the presence of isaxonine phosphate (Nerfactor) and several related factors. The incorporation of 14C-proline into secreted proteins and the release of collagen into the medium were inhibited. When the cells were incubated for an additional period of 24 h after thorough washing, protein and collagen syntheses were found to be identical to those of controls, demonstrating that the inhibition of protein synthesis was independent of any toxic effect. When cells were incubated in the presence of both isaxonine and colchicine, the secretion of collagen was more inhibited than by colchicine alone, and proteins accumulated in the cells.

Abstract
Calf skin acid-soluble collagen in microfibrillar form was incubated with free oxygen radicals produced by the system xanthine oxidase + hypoxanthine. This incubation liberated peptides of a size smaller than that of alpha-chains, as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and by evaluation of the 4-hydroxyproline contained in small peptides. The amount of liberated peptides was found to increase with time. The process was inhibited by addition of superoxide dismutase to the medium but not by addition of catalase. Two flavonoids extracted from bilberries and a third one from grapes were demonstrated to protect collagen against this non-enzymatic proteolytic activity. This work confirms that collagen may be degraded during the process of inflammation and that some flavonoids are endowed with protective properties.

Abstract
The bacterial collagenolytic strain Acinetobacter sp. CRZV2 adheres to insoluble collagen fibers when this substrate is introduced into the growth medium. This attachment occurs during the exponential growth. Proteolytic enzymes such as pronase and trypsine activate the adherence of bacterial cells to collagen fibers.
