ECM component
ground substance
fibers
ground substance components
GAG
proteoglycans
glycosaminoglycans consist of:
large, unbranched polysaccharides
usually sulfated except hyaluronic acid
what is the territorial matrix, and how does it stain w/ H&E
lacunae where chondrocytes reside
basophillic
proteoglycans consist of:
inner protein core studded w/ GAGs
contribute strength to ECM
hydrated to maintain gel-like state of ECM
Hashimoto's symptoms
hypothyrodism from autoimmune
goiter
facial myxedema
memory loss, fatigue
Grave's symptoms
hyperthyroidism
goiter
pretibial myxedema
weight loss, high body temp, nervousness
ECM fibrous components
collagen
reticular fibers
elastic fibers
Two types of collagen
fibrillar (I, II, III)
non-fibrillar (IV, VIII)
Type I collagen stain w/ H&E
eosinophilic
Collagen synthesis
preprocollagen synthesized in RER
preprocollagen hydroxylated at pro and lys residues
3 proprocollagen -> triple helix -> single procollagen
procollagen glycosylated -> RER -> Golgi -> exported
procollagen peptidases -> form tropocollagen
tropocollagen spontaneously aligns end to end to form fibrils
collagen fibril banding pattern width
67nm
osteogenesis imperteca
1:20,000 births
weak bones
genetic defect in collagen gene(s)
"brittle bone syndrome"
reticular fibers
actually type III collagen
most delicate
20nm diameter
component of basement membrane, stroma of lymphatics
reticular fiber staining
doesn't stain w/ H&E
stains w/ silver (long thin strands)
elastic fibers
inner ELASTIN (protein) core studded w/ microfibrils (fibrillin)
commonly found in:
- walls of large arteries
- elastic cartilage
elastic fiber staining
doesn't stain w/ H&E
stains w/ elastic stain
metallo matrix proteases
Ca, Zn, Cu dependent
facilitate migrating through ECM
clinically important in metastatic disease
what inhibits MMPs
tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases (TIMPs)
