Increased mRNA expression of collagen V gene in pulmonary fibrosis of systemic sclerosis

Abstract: Abnormal collagen V fibres are overproduced in lungs from SSc patients and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease as this molecule regulates tissue collagen assembly. The aberrant histoarchitecture observed in SSc can be related to the overexpression of the [alpha2(V)] gene of unknown origin.

“…MCP-6, one of the mast cell-derived granule components, is the counterpart of human tryptase because of its predicted tryptic-like substrate specificity (18,22). Collagen V consists of about 1-5% of the total collagens in healthy tissue; however, it increases during fibrogenesis in liver (31) and lung (20), playing an anchoring role between collagen fibrils (31,32). Collagen V is also reported to increase in obese adipose tissue (10,25), especially in fibrotic areas (26).…”

“…Disordered COLV fibrillar architecture . COLV is normally distributed in the alveolar septa, walls of bronchi, terminal bronchioles, and blood vessels, albeit in smaller amounts relative to fibrillar COLI or III (Parra et al, ). COLV is causal for the pathogenesis of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (Parra et al, ) and pulmonary fibrosis of systemic sclerosis (SS) (Parra et al, ).…”

COLV is causal for the pathogenesis of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (Parra et al, ) and pulmonary fibrosis of systemic sclerosis (SS) (Parra et al, ). In lung biopsies of IPF patients—with a histological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia—and SS patients, COLV expression is strikingly increased in the alveolar septa and pre‐acinar arterial walls in parallel with the severity of the fibrotic lesion, as assessed by immunohistochemistry.…”
