Question
Answer
What are the components of the ECM   Proteins, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans and inorganic salts  
🗑
Proteins of ECM   elastin  
🗑
Glycoproteins   More proetin than CHO = Collagen  
🗑
Proteoglycans   More CHO than proteins = perelcan  
🗑
Glycosaminoglycans   Heparin Sulphate  
🗑
Inorganic Salts   Calcium phosphate  
🗑
Where would you find type 1 collagen?   dermis, tendons, ligaments and bones  
🗑
Where would you find type 2 collagen?   hyaline cartilage  
🗑
Where would you find type 3 collagen?   liver, bone marrow, lymphoid organs; also in granulation tissue; aka reticulin  
🗑
Where would you find type 4 collagen?   basement membranes  
🗑
Where would you find type 7 collagen?   linker to basement membrane  
🗑
which type of glycoproteins form fibres?   collagen, fibrillin, fibronectin  
🗑
Which types of glycoproteins form a link between ECM and cells?   laminin, entactin, tenascin  
🗑
Ground Substance   • amorphous • gel-like • matrix for diffusion of metabolites • contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) – polysaccharide polymers  
🗑
glycosaminoglycans   also called mucopolysaccharides. Chains of repeating dissacharide.  
🗑
why are glycosaminoglycans acidix   due to charged polar side groups that repel each other  
🗑
Inglycosaminoglycans what would be the CHO component in NON SULPHATED GAGS?   hyaluronic acid  
🗑
Chondroitin sulphate and keratin sulphate are CHO components of proteoglycans found in?   Cartilage  
🗑
where would you find heparin sulphate?   Basement membrane?  
🗑
How is elastin synthesized to form ecm?   • dominant ECM protein in arteries; 50% dry wt. aorta • soluble precursor – tropoelastin -secreted from cell • interacts with fibrillin, which acts as a scaffold • tropoelastin molecules become cross-linked  
🗑
How are proteoglycans synthesized to form ECM?   • core protein made on RER and translocated into lumen • vesicles carry it to Golgi • linkage tetrasaccharide added to serine residue of protein • polysaccharide chain is formed by addition of sugar units, 1 at a time by glycotranferase.  
🗑
How are prostaglycans delivered to extracellular domain?   By exocytosis  
🗑
What are examples of enzymes that breakdown ECM proteins   Elastase, Serine Proteases, matrix metalloproteinases  
🗑
Osteoid   unmineralised, organic portion of bone matrix  
🗑
What family of enzymes breaks down Osteoid?   Papain family of cysteine proteinases e.g cathepsin K  
🗑
What are examples of enzymes that breakdown ECM proteins   Elastase, Serine Proteases, matrix metalloproteinases  
🗑
What is used to stain the basement membrane?   Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) that binds to carbohydrate OR by using anti-bodies that specifically bind to a component of the BM (e.g laminin, type IV collagen)  
🗑
Osteoid   unmineralised, organic portion of bone matrix  
🗑
What family of enzymes breaks down Osteoid?   Papain family of cysteine proteinases e.g cathepsin K  
🗑
The basement membrane of epithelial tissues is called?   The basement membrane  
🗑
What is used to stain the basement membrane?   Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) that binds to carbohydrate OR by using anti-bodies that specifically bind to a component of the BM (e.g laminin, type IV collagen)  
🗑
What is used to stain the basement membrane?   Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) that binds to carbohydrate OR by using anti-bodies that specifically bind to a component of the BM (e.g laminin, type IV collagen)  
🗑
The BM in cancer   Barrier to malignancy  
🗑
Epithelial tumours are only regarded as malignant when?   The have breached the basement membrane  
🗑
Until such times when a tumour hasnt breached the membrane the cell may be?   Cytologically malignant, but the tumour is physically contained within the BM. At this stage it is called a carcinoma-in-situ  
🗑
How is osteoid: ECM in bone synthesized?   By osteoblasts  
🗑
How is osteoid: ECM in bone synthesized?   By osteoblasts  
🗑
What is the portion of Inorganic salts to organic matrix in mature bone?   70% inorganic salts, 30% organic matrix  
🗑
What is the portion of Inorganic salts to organic matrix in mature bone?   70% inorganic salts, 30% organic matrix  
🗑
More than 90% of the organic component is?   Type I collagen  
🗑
More than 90% of the organic component is?   Type I collagen  
🗑
Osteocalcin   Calcium building protein  
🗑
Hydroxypaptite   Crystals of calcium phosphate  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Breakdown osteoid  
🗑
osteocytes   allow communication  
🗑
Cartilage ECM   Synthesized by chondrocytes. Consists of: Type II collagen, chondroitin sulphate, keratan sulphate and hyaluronic acid.  
🗑
How do ECM molecules influence cell behaviour?   Interact with integrins in cell membranes to influence cell behaviour.  
🗑
