Here, we used AFM-aided PeakForce tapping to analyze the topography of the basement membrane of <em>Drosophila</em> larval wing discs. We identified a self-affine surface topography, appearing structurally similar across multiple scales. Further, the topography is characterized by thin fiber-like structures that are intermittently aligned with a preferred orientation along the anterior-posterior axis. During larval development, the amplitude of surface patterns overall decreases, whereas the abundance of basement membrane components increases. Using targeted knockdown experiments, we show that Collagen IV is essential for the formation of fiber-like structures, while Laminin and Collagen IV appear to smooth or level out large-scale groove-like patterns. In contrast, Nidogen contributes to the maintenance of these grooves, and Perlecan increases surface pattern amplitudes at all length scales. Our findings reveal distinct topographical features in the basement membrane, whose amplitude and organization depend on its specific molecular composition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49851,"journal":{"name":"Matrix Biology","volume":"140 ","pages":"Pages 78-87"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144655501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once synthesized, these collagenous proteins undergo post-translational modifications and proper folding inside the cell, after which they primarily function outside the cell. Over 80 collagenous proteins are categorized into two main groups: collagens and collagen-like proteins. However, the distinction between these groups is not clearly defined. Within these categories, there are various types of proteins, including soluble proteins, transmembrane proteins, and those that form the extracellular matrix. Multiple genetic diseases highlight the significance of collagenous proteins, which can be affected by defects in their primary structure, post-translational modifications, or complete loss. While fixing the gene defect may seem like a straightforward solution, we currently lack the capability to do so. Moreover, acquired diseases caused or accompanied by adverse processes in the collagen triple helix are generally not suitable for gene therapy at all.

The <em>Drosophila</em> egg chamber has become a premier system to study this aspect of BM biology due to the ostensible simplicity of the BM’s role in morphogenesis. The prevailing model posits that the egg chamber’s outer layer of epithelial cells creates a symmetric stiffness gradient in the surrounding BM that preferentially channels egg chamber growth along one axis to create the elongated shape of the egg. There is evidence that the stiffening of the BM depends, in part, on a polarized array of fibrils that form within the BM network, and yet the exact role the BM fibrils play in egg chamber elongation has remained unclear. Here, we use genetic conditions that abrogate fibril formation to different extents to probe the relationship between the BM’s fibril content, its mechanical properties, and the shape of the egg. The results of these experiments are consistent with a model in which BM fibrils influence egg shape by directly augmenting the mechanical properties of the BM. However, we then examine a final genetic condition that does not fit this simple narrative. We propose that the role of the BM in conferring final egg shape is more complicated than previously thought and that some approaches used to study this role should be re-evaluated for their efficacy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49851,"journal":{"name":"Matrix Biology","volume":"140 ","pages":"Pages 16-26"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144289818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, ECM fibers determine CAF differentiation and activity, establishing a protumorigenic feed-forward loop. Oesophageal cancer carries a high morbidity and mortality, and curative surgical resection is only an option for a limited number of patients while early lymphatic spread and poor therapeutic responses are common. Although studies report marked heterogeneity in investigation of the stromal density of gastrointestinal cancers, it is generally accepted that oesophageal cancer is highly fibrotic, and stromal components like CAFs may outnumber cancer cells. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the reciprocal interaction between CAFs and the ECM in oesophageal cancer is essential to improving diagnostics and prognostication, as well as designing innovative anti-cancer strategies. Here, we summarise current understanding of oesophageal cancer from a stromal perspective. Then, we discuss that CAFs and the ECM in oesophageal cancer can independently and synergistically contribute to tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. We also summarise potential stromal targets that have been described in transcriptomic analyses, highlighting those validated in downstream experimental studies.
