Cells obtained from normal human skin synthesize predominantly type I collogen in culture. Cells obtained from the skin of an infant with a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta were found to synthesize as much type III as type I collagen. Decreased synthesis of type I collagen could explain the tissue fragility observed in this case.
从正常人类皮肤获取的细胞在培养时主要合成I型胶原蛋白。从一名患有严重成骨不全症的婴儿皮肤中获取的细胞被发现合成的III型胶原蛋白与I型胶原蛋白一样多。I型胶原蛋白合成减少可以解释该病例中观察到的组织脆弱性。
