[Changes in collagen type IV metabolism in diabetes].
In Diabetes Mellitus, type IV collagen biosynthesis is increased: the alpha 1(IV) procollagen specific mRNA concentration is elevated, particularly in the kidney, and the type IV collagen protein is accumulating is the thickened basement membranes. Aldose reductase inhibitors like sorbinil do prevent basement membrane thickening and type IV collagen overproduction. The latter seems related to intracellular sorbitol accumulation and also to protein kinase C activation. Autocrine or paracrine TGF beta may be involved in the type IV collagen oversecretion. The secreted type IV collagen is subject to posttranslational alterations, especially glycation which leads to advanced glycation end-products and covalent crosslinks. This decreases collagen extractability and susceptibility to collagenases and favours basement membrane thickening. Disaccharide unit-specific alpha-glucosidase activity is inhibited by glucose (Kp = 7.5 mM). Type IV collagenase activity secreted by endothelial cells cultured at high glucose concentrations appears to be diminished. Therefore type IV collagen catabolism may be decreased in Diabetes Mellitus.
