Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of human prostate gland tissue (formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded section). Panel A : merged staining of anti-Collagen VI (ab271938, magenta; Opal™690), anti-Cytokeratin 5 (ab236216, green; Opal™520) and anti-Prostate Specific Antigen (ab76113, red; Opal™570) on human prostate gland tissue. Panel B : anti-Prostate Specific Antigen stained on luminal cells. Panel C : anti-Cytokeratin 5 stained on basal cells. Panel D : anti-Collagen VI stained on stroma. Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab271938 (1/500), ab236216 (1/400), and ab76113 (1/2000) for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution 2) was used for 20 mins. DAPI (blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope. This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab182744).

Supplementary information

Collagen VI also known as Collagen 6 is a type of collagen that plays an important role in the extracellular matrix. It consists of three different chains: α1(VI) α2(VI) and α3(VI) with a combined mass of approximately 140 kDa. This collagen type strongly associates with several tissues notably in skeletal muscle skin and the walls of blood vessels. Scientists often study collagen VI with specific collagen antibodies to understand its unique structural properties and its end which binds to other matrix components.
Biological function summary

Collagen VI contributes to structural integrity and cellular scaffolding within tissues. This protein is integral to the formation of microfibrillar networks part of a larger complex that connects the extracellular matrix to cells and other matrix components. Its protective role helps cells resist mechanical stress and the network provided by collagen VI powder stabilizes the tissue architecture. Additionally low endotoxin collagen is often preferable in research to minimize inflammatory responses during experimentation providing more accurate results.

Pathways

Collagen VI participates in extracellular matrix organization and mechanotransduction pathways. It functions alongside other proteins like collagen I and IV. In particular collagen VI interacts with cell surface receptors which influences cellular communication and signaling pathways. This interaction plays a role in transmitting mechanical signals that affect cellular behavior and function proving important for tissue maintenance and repair processes.

Mutations or malfunctions involving collagen VI can lead to significant clinical outcomes. It is prominently linked with disorders such as Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy and Bethlem myopathy both affecting muscle and connective tissue. These conditions often involve disruptions in the assembly or function of the collagen VI network. Additionally related proteins like collagen I and integrin proteins can influence the progression and severity of these disorders illustrating the interconnected nature of these extracellular elements.
