Interstitial collagen fibrils form the supporting scaffold of all connective tissues. The synthesis of this framework is subject to a precise spatial and temporal regulation in order to meet the mechanical needs of every tissue type. A subgroup of non-fibrillar collagens termed FACIT seems to play a role in this regulation by providing specific molecular bridges between fibrils and other matrix components. Collagens XII and XIV represent such FACIT molecules and occur preferentially in tissues containing banded type I collagen fibrils. We have used the techniques of indirect immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization to investigate the expression patterns of the two molecules during chicken embryonic development. We detected specific differences in these patterns, which may be related to the respective functions of the two proteins within the connective tissues. Collagen XIV was expressed at very few sites in the 6-day-old embryo, but occurred in virtually every collagen I-containing tissue (skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, gizzard, tendon, periosteum, nerve) by the end of embryonic development. In contrast, collagen XII was fairly abundant in the 6-day-old embryo but was, at later stages, restricted to only a few dense connective tissue structures (bone, tendon, gizzard). Thus, our results suggest that collagen XII and collagen XIV serve different functions during embryonic development although their structures are highly similar.
