    Notes: Vitamin A and several other retinoids were added to fibroblast cultures in order to study possible alterations in biochemical properties and cellular responsiveness. The proliferation of cells was inhibited as the concentration of retinoids increased from 10-9 to 10-5mol/l. Synthesis of non-collagenous proteins and production of both type I and type III collagen were decreased. The onset of type III collagen synthesis by tendon fibroblasts in culture was delayed. Furthermore, the chemotactic response of fibroblasts to fibroblast-conditioned medium was markedly reduced in the presence of retinoids (10−6 to 10−12 mol/l).

    Notes: Summary Although it is now 60 years after Erdheim's (1931) detailed description of vertebral alterations in severe acromegaly, it is still unclear whether osteoporosis is a consistent feature of acromegalic bone disease or not. We studied the vertebral trabecular bone of a 44-year-old woman who had suffered active acromegaly for more than 20 years, and compared it with 17 normal as well as 2 osteoporotic controls. Histomorphometry revealed a very low trabecular bone volume and thus documented the presence of osteoporosis. The mean trabecular plate thickness was strikingly increased in acromegaly (possibly caused in part by a low-dose fluoride treatment), whereas it was normal or reduced in the osteoporotic controls. The meticulous analysis showed islands of cartilaginous tissue in the core of the acromegalic trabeculae which were not present in any other sample. In these areas collagen II was detected by immunohistochemistry. Biochemical analysis revealed that collagen II accounted for 7% of the total collagenous matrix. The degree of hydroxylation of lysyl residues of collagen I was close to the average value of all control samples studied. Our data show that osteoporosis can occur in acromegaly and that it is characterized by unusual architectural and compositional features. These findings challenge the prevailing view that the matrix of osteoporotic bone always shows a normal composition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Fallbericht einer 33jährigen Frau mit einem ausgeprägtem Marfan-Syndrom wird vorgestellt. Sie hatte typische ossäre, okuläre, kardiovaskuläre und auch pulmonale Veränderungen, auf deren Bedeutung näher eingegangen wird. Wegen einer schweren Aorteninsuffizienz bei einem Aneurysma der Aorta ascendens und einer beträchtlichen Mitralinsuffizienz wurde ein Doppelklappenersatz durchgeführt und eine Prothese der Aorta ascendens eingesetzt. Die Prognose, die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Möglichkeiten der lebensbedrohlichen kardiovaskulären Komplikationen bei Marfan-Syndrom werden diskutiert. Das bei der Operation gewonnene Aortengewebe wurde histologisch und biochemisch analysiert. Histologisch zeigte sich eine typische Medianekrose. Biochemisch (Fibroblastenkultur, Elektronenmikroskopie) fand sich eine veränderte Zusammensetzung der kollagenen Anteile. Sowohl in der Adventitia wie in der Media war Kollagen Typ I nahezu völlig zugunsten von Kollagen Typ III verschwunden. Diese Verschiebung galt in gleicher Weise für die Prokollagene. In der Haut der Patientin fand sich jedoch eine normale Verteilung von Prokollagen und Kollagen der Typen I und III. Die weitgehende Reduktion von Kollagen Typ I stellt möglicherweise die Ursache der Wandschwächung der Aorta dar, die die Ursache der Aneurysmabildung und der Aorteninsuffizienz ist.
    Notes: Summary The case report on a 33 year old woman with prominent features of Marfan's syndrome is presented. Characteristic signs were seen in the bones, the eyes, the cardiovascular system, and the lungs. Due to regurgitation of both the aortic and mitral valves and an aneurysm of the ascending aorta a double valve replacement was made, including a prothesis of the aorta. The problems of early diagnosis and therapy of the life-threatening cardiovascular complications are discussed. Tissue specimens from the aorta were analysed histochemically and biochemically. Histology showed a typical necrosis of the media with cyst formation. Biochemical analysis by in vitro labeling of collagen in tissue explants and by electon microscopical evaluation showed proportions of type I and type III collagen which were significantly different from controls. In both the media and the adventitia the amount of type I collagen was drastically reduced as shown by quantitation of collagen and procollagen. Fibroblasts derived from the skin of the patient showed a normal content of type I and type III collagen. It is conceivable that the reduced content of type I collagen in the aortic wall is responsible for the weakness of the vessel wall causing formation of aneurysm and its sequelae.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Hautfibroblasten wurden von 13 Patienten mit Osteogenesis imperfecta gezüchtet und deren Kollagensynthese in vitro untersucht. Dabei fand sich bei 7 Patienten, die durch nur milde Manifestation der Erkrankung charakterisiert waren, eine Störung des Verhältnisses der Kollagentypen I und III. Fibroblasten von solchen Patienten mit einer schweren Form der Osteogenesis imperfecta synthetisierten die Kollagentypen I und III in einem normalen Verhältnis.
    Notes: Summary Skin fibroblasts were cultured from 13 patients with Osteogenesis imperfecta and collagen biosynthesis was investigated in vitro. In those patients characterised by only mild manifestations of the disease, the ratio of collagen types I and III was disturbed. By contrast, fibroblasts obtained from patients with Osteogenesis imperfecta of a more severe type synthesised collagen types I/III in a normal ratio.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über eine konstitutionelle Bindegewebserkrankung bei dem 10 Jahre alten Sohn blutsverwandter Eltern berichtet. Das klinische und röntgenologische Befundmuster unterscheidet sich von bisher bekannten Syndromen, insbesondere der Osteogenesis imperfecta und dem Marfan-Syndrom, mit denen gewisse Ähnlichkeiten bestehen. In Fibroblastenkulturen aus Hautbiopsien wurde die Kollagenbiosynthese untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, daß die Fibroblasten unterschiedliche Typen von α1-Ketten synthetisieren, während α2-Ketten weder im Kulturmedium noch in Zellextrakten nachgewiesen werden konnten. Es wird vermutet, daß die Störung der Kollagenbiosynthese mit den klinischen und röntgenologischen Befunden der Erkrankung in Verbindung steht.
    Notes: Summary An apparently “new” connective tissue disorder is described in the 10 year old son of consanguineous parents. The patient showed clinical and radiographic abnormalities reminiscent of both osteogenesis imperfecta and Marfan syndrome. Collagen biosynthesis was analysed in fibroblast cultures from skin biopsies. Fibroblasts of the patient synthesized different types ofα1 chains. No α2 chains could be detected in cell extracts or in culture media suggesting a defect in the synthesis of these compounds. The peculiar pattern of clinical abnormalities may be causally related to the apparent defect in collagen synthesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Synthesis of collagen by chondrocytes was studied by immunofluorescence using antibodies specific for type I, II and III collagen. The following tissues and culture conditions were chosen for this immunohistological study: normal articular cartilage, epiphyseal growth cartilage, cartilage undergoing osteoarthrotic degeneration, suspension culture and monolayer culture. While type II collagen is the unique collagen all over hyaline cartilage, type I collagen is produced by hypertrophic chondrocytes in the growth plate. In addition, chondrocytes in osteoarthrotic areas of articular cartilage synthesize type I collagen. Under in vitro culture conditions, chondrocytes initially produce type II collagen and synthesize later on type I collagen. The change of synthesis from type II to type I collagen is more rapid in monolayer than in suspension culture. It is concluded that the presence of matrix compounds and the cellmatrix interaction as well are necessary to maintain synthesis of type II collagen in chondrocytes. Alterations in the cell-matrix interactions are shown to occur in the hypertrophic zone of the epiphyseal growth plate, in cartilage undergoing osteoarthrotic degeneration as well as in chondrocytes grown in culture. Thus, change in the control of gene activity may subsequently lead to change in collagen synthesis. It is possible that the synthesis of type I collagen, which cannot fulfil the physiological function of a structural element in cartilageneous tissue, is a crucial factor in the process of osteoarthrosis.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Unter Verwendung von spezifischen Antikörpern ist es möglich, mit Hilfe immunhistologischer Methoden die Verteilung der verschiedenen Kollagentypen und auch die Kollagensynthese einzelner Zellen zu verfolgen. Diese Methode wurde angewendet, um die Kollagensynthese von Chondrocyten im normalen Gelenkknorpel, Epiphysenknorpel der Wachstumsplatte, osteoarthrotischen Gelenkknorpel, sowie unter in vitro Kulturbedingungen zu verfolgen. Während im normalen Knorpel nur Typ II Kollagen synthetisiert wird, wurde festgestellt, daß die hypertrophierenden großen Chondrocyten an der Basis des Säulenknorpels auf die Synthese des Typ I Kollagens umschalten. Ähnliches gilt auch für die arthrotischen Zellen des Gelenkknorpels. Hier führt die Degeneration zu einer Umschaltung der Kollagensynthese von Typ II auf Typ I Kollagen. Dieses Phänomen kann auch in vitro nachvollzogen werden. In Suspensionskulturen, in denen Chondrocyten in Aggregaten eine knorpelähnliche Matrix aufzubauen vermögen, vollzieht sich der Umschaltungsprozeß langsamer als in Monolayerkulturen. Diese Beobachtungen zeigen, daß Chondrocyten zur Aufrechterhaltung ihrer Typ II Kollagensynthese eine spezielle Zell-Matrix-Wechselwirkung benötigen. Wird durch eine Veränderung der Knorpelmatrix (z.B. bei dem Degenerationsprozeß der Osteoarthrose) diese Wechselbeziehung gestört, kommt es zu einer Neuorientierung der Kollagensynthese und — in deren Folge — zur Umschaltung auf Typ I Kollagen.

    Notes: Abstract Age-related differences in the composition and the post-translational modifications of human skin collagens were examined in the present study. The data were compared with results of collagen synthesis from in vivo-aged fibroblasts in culture. Skin extracts and newly synthesized collagen from fibroblast cultures derived from both old and young donor groups showed the same ratio of collagen III to collagen I. Furthermore, no difference was noted in the degree of prolyl and lysyl hydroxylation of collagen I and collagen III. Young and old fibroblasts synthesized a similar quantity of collagen in vitro. The data suggest that fibroblasts maintain a uniform level of collagen production, composition and modification independent of the age of the donor.
