Extracellular matrix stoichiometry in osteoblasts from patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.

Abstract excerpt

In previous work, we compared the steady-state levels of specific matrix components in human bone cells derived from patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) to those of age-matched controls. A remarkable finding was the observation that there was a reduction not only in the total levels of collagen, but also in osteonectin and three proteoglycans (a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, biglycan, and...
