Type IX collagen, containing molecules of the three distinct polypeptides alpha 1(IX), alpha 2(IX), and alpha 3(IX), is an interesting hybrid extracellular matrix component in cartilage and eye tissues, with the properties of both a proteoglycan and a collagen. The alpha 1 (IX) chain has two forms, as a result of the tissue-specific utilization of two alternative promoters; the alpha 2(IX) chain carries a covalently attached glycosaminoglycan side chain. We have introduced a gene construct controlled by a tissue-specific promoter/enhancer and expressing a truncated alpha 1(IX) chain into mice. Examination of the offspring of two different founders revealed pathological changes similar to osteoarthritis in the articular cartilage of knee joints. In addition, mice homozygous for the transgene developed mild chondrodysplasia (i.e., mild dwarfism, anterior tonguing in the vertebral bodies, and ophthalmopathy). The relative ratio of transgene product to the endogenous alpha 1(IX) chain was approximately one in homozygotes and less than one in heterozygotes. Therefore, the phenotypic severity correlated well with the level of transgene expression. These findings suggest that mutations in type IX collagen genes may cause certain forms of osteoarthritis and chondrodysplasia in humans.

D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
