Abstract:
:The hierarchical architecture of the collagen fibril is well understood, involving non-integer staggering of collagen molecules which results in a 67 nm periodic molecular density variation termed D-banding. Other than this variation, collagen fibrils are considered to be homogeneous at the micro-scale and beyond. Interestingly, serial kink structures have been shown to form at discrete locations along the length of collagen fibrils from some mechanically overloaded tendons. The formation of these kinks at discrete locations along the length of fibrils (discrete plasticity) may indicate pre-existing structural variations at a length scale greater than that of the D-banding. Using a high velocity nanomechanical mapping technique, 25 tendon collagen fibrils, were mechanically and structurally mapped along 10 μm of their length in dehydrated and hydrated states with resolutions of 20 nm and 8 nm respectively. Analysis of the variation in hydrated indentation modulus along individual collagen fibrils revealed a micro-scale structural variation not observed in the hydrated or dehydrated structural maps. The spacing distribution of this variation was similar to that observed for inter-kink distances seen in SEM images of discrete plasticity type damage. We propose that longitudinal variation in collagen fibril structure leads to localized mechanical susceptibility to damage under overload. Furthermore, we suggest that this variation has its origins in heterogeneous crosslink density along the length of collagen fibrils. The presence of pre-existing sites of mechanical vulnerability along the length of collagen fibrils may be important to biological remodeling of tendon, with mechanically-activated sites having distinct protein binding capabilities and enzyme susceptibility.
