Collagen type VI, which forms characteristic microfibrillar structures, is assembled from three individual alpha(VI) chains that form a short triple helix and two adjacent globular domains. Expression of all three alpha (VI) collagen chains in the human bone marrow (BM) microenvironment could be detected by chain-specific antibodies in tissue sections and in the adherent stromal layer of long-term BM cultures. In functional studies, collagen type VI was shown to be a strong adhesive substrate for various hematopoietic cell lines and light-density BM mononuclear cells. The adhesive site within the molecule seems to be restricted to the triple helical domain of all three alpha (VI) chains, because individual alpha (VI) chains were not active in the attachment assays. Adhesion of the hematopoietic cell lines to collagen VI was dose-dependent and could be inhibited by heparin. Although the triple helix contains several RGD sequences, adhesion of the hematopoietic cell types to collagen VI could be blocked neither by RGD-containing peptides nor by a neutralizing antibody to the beta 1 integrin subunit. In combination with an antiadhesive substrate, the binding properties of collagen VI could be downregulated. These data suggest that this collagen type may play an important role in the adhesion of hematopoietic cells within the BM microenvironment.

cDNA clones encoding the alpha 1, alpha 2 and alpha 3 chains of mouse collagen VI have been isolated by screening cDNA libraries with the corresponding human probes. The composite cDNAs for the alpha 1, alpha 2, and alpha 3 chains are 2.5, 1.6 and 2.9 kb in size respectively. The alpha 1 and alpha 2 cDNAs encode the C-terminal portions of the chains as well as the entire 3′-untranslated regions, while the alpha 3 cDNAs encode a central segment of 959 amino acids flanking the triple-helical domain. The deduced amino acid sequences share 86-88% identity with the human counterparts and 67-73% identity with the chicken equivalents. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of mouse, human and chicken collagens reveal that the key features of the protein, including the cysteine residues, imperfections in the Gly-Xaa-Xaa regions, Arg-Gly-Asp sequences and potential N-glycosylation sites, are mostly conserved.
