Alternative splicing of type II procollagen: IIB or not IIB?

Abstract: Over two decades ago, two isoforms of the type II procollagen gene (COL2A1) were discovered. These isoforms, named IIA and IIB, are generated in a developmentally-regulated manner by alternative splicing of exon 2. Chondroprogenitor cells synthesize predominantly IIA isoforms (containing exon 2) while differentiated chondrocytes produce mainly IIB transcripts (devoid of exon 2). Importantly, this IIA-to-IIB alternative splicing switch occurs only during chondrogenesis. More recently, two other isoforms have be… Show more

“…The COL2A1 gene encodes the alpha‐1 chain of procollagen type II, and three chains folded together in a triple‐helical configuration to form the procollagen homotrimer. Mature type II collagen molecules are formed after secretion into the extracellular matrix and removal of procollagen's NH 2 and COOH propeptides (Figure ) . These processed collagens subsequently form a covalently cross‐linked fibrillar network in the extracellular matrix that provides tensile strength to connective tissues .…”

“…The distribution of collagen IIB isoform was investigated, which was prominently localised throughout the cartilage matrix from TS22. Previous studies have proposed that collagen IIA is the main isoform produced at E12.5, with IIB being reported as being barely detectable (Hering et al, 2014;Lewis et al, 2012;McAlinden, 2014) at that stage. By E16.5, the IIA isoform is mainly localised to the resting zone of the cartilage whereas IIB is present throughout the cartilage including the growth plates.…”
