Background 

Collagen is the most abundant component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and constitutes a large protein family in mammals. Collagen family shares unique triple-helical structures (Figure 1, left) consisting of three polypeptides that contain frequent repeats of Gly-Pro-Hyp (4-hydroxyproline) triplets. In human, 27 types are identified as the collagen family. Among them, types I, II and III occupy the majority (~90%) of the family in the body. 

Collagens have various functions from regulation of cellular activities, such as cell adhesion, migration and invasion, to mechanical support of tissues. In these processes, the dynamic remodeling of collagens including de novo production and degradation/denaturation is tightly regulated. Abnormal regulations of collagen-remodeling derived from excess production of unfolded or misfolded collagens or highly degradation of collagens leads to pathological conditions. Fibrosis in liver, osteoarthritis in cartilage, atherosclerosis in blood vessels and abnormal invasion of cancer cells are well-known examples of imbalance of collagen remodeling. Recent evidences indicate the increased amount of denatured collagen is associated with these diseases. Denatured collagen is the loss of triple helical structure induced by heat, proteases, mechanical stress, and chemical modification (Figure 1, right). Once triple helical structures are destroyed, each polypeptide cannot reorganize the triple-helical structure. As denatured collagen is one of the pathological markers, detecting method for denatured collagens will be a good tool for pathophysiological research. Antibodies are one of the general tools for collagen research but cannot distinguish between native and denatured collagens. Only few antibodies are established to specifically detect denatured collagen, but they recognize only one specific collagen isoform. The detection probes satisfying following three points are highly desired. 1) Denatured collagen specific, 2) highly sensitive, and 3) broad cross-reactivity for various types of collagens. Recently, chemically synthesized collagen mimetic peptides (CMP) containing collagen-like amino acid sequences (Gly-Pro-Hyp)n are applied in detection of denatured collagens (Figure 2). CMPs selectively hybridize in the unfolded region of collagens. However, single-stranded CMPs (ssCMP) are preferentially self-assembled to homo trimer in water and it dramatically reduces binding affinity to denatured collagens. To avoid self-assembly of ssCMPs a pre-heating step is necessary. Pre-heating promotes dissociation of self-assembled trimers and increases the binding affinity of ssCMPs to denatured collagens. The experimental pre-heating process gives not only researcher’s increased labor but also experimental bias in each trial, ssCMPs are not sufficient tools for detecting various denatured collagens. To overcome this problem, Dr. Takaki Koide, Waseda University, developed the next generation denatured collagen detecting peptide. The novel peptide has highly unique structure which is a strained cyclic CMP (scCMP) and has optimized anionic charges. Due to strained cyclic structure and anionic charges, the self-assembly of the peptides are suppressed. The scCMP improves not only pre-heating step but also binding affinity for denatured collagen, over 10-fold higher than ssCMP. Our “Denatured Collagen Detecting Reagent” (scCMP) shows dramatically higher sensitivity than ssCMP without preheating step.

 

 

Collagen biosynthesis is another important process of dynamic collagen remodeling. Collagen polypeptides are firstly synthesized and post-translationally modified by prolyl hydroxylase in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Three polypeptide chains cannot an assemble triple helical structure by itself. Collagen-specific molecular chaperon, HSP47 promotes formation of trimers. Folded collagens are transferred to Golgi apparatus and secretory pathway. Abnormal collagen synthesis, maturation or secretory also induces some diseases. Our “Denatured Collagen Detecting Reagent” is applicable detecting reagent for unfolded or misfolded collagens in ER under the biosynthetic pathway.

Reference data 

Quantitative analysis of binding affinity of both ssCMP and “Denatured Collagen Detection Reagent”

Wells on 96 well plate were pre-coated with heat-denatured collagen I. The wells were washed by ELISA buffer (20 mM HEPES-Na (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, and 0.005% Tween-20) three times and blocked by 0.5% skim milk. After washing the wells, ssCMP or “Denatured Collagen Detection Reagent”-containing solution were added into the wells and incubated for 1 hour. The wells were washed by ELISA buffer three times and probed with streptavidin-HRP conjugated. Binding intensity was estimated with a colorimetric substrate for HRP
