title: [Regulation of collagenase gene expression in human osteosarcoma-derived osteoblastic cell lines].
abstract: The regulation of collagenase gene expression in the human osteosarcoma-derived osteoblastic cell lines MG-63, U2-OS and human fibroblast cell line IMR-90 was investigated by Northern blot analysis. Exposure of quiescent MG-63, U2-OS and IMR-90 cells to 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) resulted in the induction of mRNA encoding collagenase. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) induced collagenase mRNA in the IMR-90 cell but not in the MG-63 and U2-OS cells. In the IMR-90 and MG-63 cells, EGF stimulated the transcription of the c-fos and c-jun genes encoding the transcriptional factors which interact directly with the promoter region of the human collagenase gene. Parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 did not increase the collagenase mRNA level in both osteosarcoma cells. Recombinant interleukin-1 beta (rIL-1 beta) induced collagenase and c-jun but not c-fos mRNA in the MG-63 cell. The induction by rIL-1 beta was blocked by cycloheximide and dexamethasone. Transforming growth factor beta 1 blocked the FCS-induced collagenase gene expression but partially inhibited the rIL-1 beta-induced gene expression in the MG-63 cell. These results suggest that the collagenase activity is regulated not only by post-translational modification but also at the transcriptional level by the various factors in bone.
