Collagen type II, which is encoded by a single COL2A1/ Col2a1 gene, is the most abundant structural protein in the cartilage matrix, where it undergoes complex interactions with several other proteins. The sequence of mature collagen type II chains, each with about 1,100 amino acids, is conserved between different mammalian species. There are 37 amino acid positions that are different between mouse and human collagen type II. Previously, we have demonstrated that transgenic mice, in which Col2a1 gene is knocked out, exhibit a lethal phenotype due to the absence of endochondral bone formation. To investigate whether the biological role of collagen type II is conserved between the species, human COL2A1 gene was expressed in Col2a1 null mice by crossing with transgenic mice in which human COL2A1 gene was integrated. The collagen type II from human gene rescued the lethal phenotype in null mice, indicating that the biological function of collagen type II is conserved between human and mouse. The animals exhibited normal endochondral bone formation and a normal growth plate in tibio-tarsal joint. Chondrocytes isolated from the cartilage of these mice secreted human protein, suggesting that the animals incorporated heterologous protein to form cartilage which is essentially "humanized." The animals reached puberty and produced normal progeny. A completely normal phenotype in newborns indicates that human COL2A1 gene is expressed properly both temporally and spatially. These animals may be useful to generate models to study the effect of COL2A1 mutations on skeletal development in humans by introducing mutated gene constructs either into embryos or by crossing with transgenic animals with COL2A1 mutations."xsd:string |
