Type IV collagen α6 chain is a regulator of keratin 10 in keratinization of oral mucosal epithelium

Abstract: Keratinized mucosa is of fundamental importance to maintain healthy gingival tissue, and understanding the mechanisms of oral mucosa keratinization is crucial to successfully manage healthy gingiva. Previous studies have shown a strong involvement of the basement membrane in the proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells. Therefore, first, to identify the keratinized mucosa-specific basement membrane components, immunohistochemical analysis for the six alpha chains of type IV collagen was performed … Show more

“…Thus, inappropriate expression of keratins appears as a general trait associated to LUAD aggressiveness, whether through perturbation of the differentiation status of adenocarcinoma cells or by regulation of epithelial progenitor/stem cells, as recently shown for keratin 14 [ 18 ]. The collagen gene COL4A6 was shown to be a LUAD protective factor, as possibly related to its regulatory role on cytokeratin expression and epithelial differentiation [ 25 ]. COL7A1 acted as a tumor progression determinant, possibly through its association to cancer stem cells development [ 26 ].…”

“…For immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis, frozen sections were prepared by using the Kawamoto’s film method, according to a previous report [ 37 ]. Briefly, samples fixed with 4% PFA were freeze-embedded in super cryoembedding medium (SECTION-LAB Co., Ltd., Hiroshima, Japan) and cut into widths of 5 μm with a tungsten carbide blade using an adhesive film.…”

“…Analysis of bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) and BMD was made at an area within 1 mm above and below the defect. Decalcified mouse samples were sectioned and stained with H&E. For observation of osteoblasts in Col1a1 (2.3)‐GFP mice, frozen sections were prepared according to a previous report …”
