“…These observations suggest that it might take more than 10 days for laminitic keratinocytes to fill the gap and form a regenerative laminar epidermis. Furthermore, after fully re-constructing the laminar layer, the regenerative laminar epidermis becomes elongated craniocaudally and is accompanied by distal phalanx rotation [11,18]. In addition, the laminar epidermis proliferated to a peak at 20 to 30 days, and then gradually returned to the approximate value of the n-L/Ds (Fig.…”

“…During distal phalanx displacement, the distance between the hoof wall and the phalanx is increased with the formation of a gap which can be observed as a radiolucent air line on the radiograph and resultant hyperplasia of the epidermal laminar interface [11,18,21]. This gap is then possibly filled with a yellow abnormal horn, which is observed beneath the hoof wall in gross sagittal sections from the laminitis hoof.…”

ABSTRACT. In horses with chronic laminitis, an abnormal horny structure called lamellar wedge, is generated between the hoof wall and the laminar epidermis. To be able to manage horses with chronic laminitis correctly, more information about the pathological state of this abnormal horn is required. The aim of this study was to collect and analyze objective morphological data about the abnormal horn in order to understand its morphology and development. In the study, the abnormal horn was grossly visible on the sagittal hoof section from approximately 20 days after the onset of disease. In the histological observations, the structural characteristics of this abnormal horn were similar to the white line tissue, suggesting it is an ectopic white line. Mean value of the cross-sectional area of the abnormal horn against the distal phalanx section area (A/D) was 0.29 cm 2 SD ± 0.14 and it finally showed an eight-fold increase over the mean value of normal white line section area against the distal phalanx section area. In conclusion, a large amount of the ectopic white line is thought to be finally able to inhibit normal hoof wall growth, so that it should be resected at the optimum time when would be after one month from the onset of the disease.

“…In the case of grafted human skin, further more, insufficient formation of BMZ proteins including type IV collagen, type VII collagen and laminin 5 cause detachment of the epidermis from the dermis [7,10]. Though such deterioration can be observed within the dermo-epidermal junction in early phase of acute laminitis, dissection of the chronically affected hoof shows existence of the hypertrophic LE between the ectopic white line tissue (lamellar wedge) and the distal phalanx [16,18,29]. This suggests that regeneration of the dermo-epidermal junction occurs due to active proliferation of the keratinocytes during the recovery phase.…”

Unilateral Basement Membrane Zone Alteration of the Regenerated Laminar Region in Equine Chronic Laminitis

et al. 2005

ABSTRACT. Between the laminar epidermis and the laminar dermis of laminar region (LR) in equine foot, it can be observed the basement membrane zone (BMZ), which is composed of a basement membrane and its accompaniments like the hemidesmosome and anchoring fibril. Alteration in the BMZ in equine laminitis is possibly related with not only development but also recovery outcome and recurrence of this disease. However, there is little known about the structure of the BMZ during the recovery phase of this disease. To assess the condition of the BMZ of LR affected by chronic laminitis, the tissue was examined in three cases at two weeks, four weeks and three months after the onset of laminitis, using pathological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic techniques. Histologically in all laminitis cases, there was a regenerated laminar epidermis with proliferating keratinocytes between the Stratum medium and the dermis, but it included the undeveloped secondary epidermal laminae (ud-SELs) structure in one side of the primary epidermal laminae, especially in the part of the deep area of LR. Immunohistochemical results were positive for the anti-type IV collagen, anti-type VII collagen and anti-laminin 5 antibodies in the most BMZs. However, partial BMZs adjacent to the ud-SELs were negative for the anti-type VII collagen and anti-laminin 5 antibodies. Ultrastructurally, in the BMZ of the ud-SEL, the lamina densa and the lamina lucida were present. In contrast, the anchoring fibrils and the hemidesmosomes were either absent, or present at lower than normal levels. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the part of regenerated LR in chronic laminitis was not able to fully restore to construct the BMZ for a long time, especially in the unilateral side of laminar epidermis. It might be related with recurrence of this disease. KEY WORDS: basement membrane zone, chronic laminitis, collagen, equine, laminin 5.J. Vet. Med.

If severe intractable hoof disease occurs, the horse may lose not only the ability to run, but also to stand. Laminitis is one such intractable hoof condition and has a recurrent nature. Many horses have suffered from this disease over extended periods, resulting in significant treatment costs, and therefore the equine industry has a great deal of interest in clarifying the pathogenesis and developing treatment methods [5,9,12].Anatomically, the laminar region in foot displays a complex 3-dimensional structure consisting of the primary epidermal lamina (PEL) and the secondary epidermal lamina (SEL) which interdigitate with their dermal counterparts [24]. These dermal and epidermal components are separated by the basement membrane zone (BMZ), which is composed of a basement membrane and its accompaniments like the hemidesmosome and anchoring fibril [23]. The hemidesmosome, anchoring fibril and other c...
