Collagen XVI, by structural analogy a member of the FACIT- (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices) family of collagens, is described as a minor collagen component of connective tissues. Collagen XVI is expressed in various cells and tissues without known occurrence of splice variants or isoforms. For skin and cartilage tissues its suprastructure is known. Presumably, there it acts as an adaptor protein connecting and organizing large fibrillar networks and thus modulates integrity and stability of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen XVI is produced by myofibroblasts in the normal intestine and its synthesis is increased in the inflamed bowel wall where myofibroblasts develop increased numbers of focal adhesion contacts on collagen XVI. Consequently, recruitment of alpha 1 integrin into the focal adhesions at the tip of the cells is induced followed by increased cell spreading on collagen XVI. This presumably adds to the maintenance of myofibroblasts in the inflamed intestinal regions and thus promotes fibrotic responses of the tissue. Notably, alpha 1/alpha 2 integrins interact with collagen XVI through an alpha 1/alpha 2 beta 1 integrin binding site located in the COL 1-3 domains. Collagen XVI may act as a substrate for adhesion and invasion of connective tissue tumor cells. In glioblastoma it induces tumor invasiveness by modification of the beta 1-integrin activation pattern. Thus, altering the cell-matrix interaction through collagen XVI might be a molecular mechanism to further augment the invasive phenotype of glioma cells. In this line, in oral squamous cell carcinoma collagen XVI expression is induced which results in an upregulation of Kindlin-1 followed by an increased interaction with betal-integrin. Consequently, collagen XVI induces a proliferative tumor phenotype by promoting an early S-phase entry. In summary, collagen XVI plays a decisive role in the interaction of connective tissue cells with their ECM, which is impaired in pathological situations. Alteration of tissue location and expression level of collagen XVI appears to promote tumorigenesis and to perpetuate inflammatory reactions. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
