Reduced collagen biosynthesis in oral mucosa of beige (Chediak-Higashi) mice

Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Oral mucosa of beige (Chediak-Higashi) mice had decreased levels of collagen synthesis and prolyl hydroxylase activity compared with normal animals. No significant difference was observed in non-collagen protein synthesis between the two groups. These results suggest that decreased collagen biosynthesis in oral tissues may be partially involved in the increased incidence of periodontal disease in the Chediak-Higashi syndrome.
