title: Transforming growth factor beta 1 influences lysyl hydroxylation of collagen I and reduces steady-state levels of lysyl hydroxylase mRNA in human osteoblast-like cells.
abstract: Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is an osteotropic growth factor that is found in substantial concentration in bone. The authors studied the influence of TGF-beta 1 on the modification of lysine residues of collagen I. The degree of lysyl hydroxylation and lysyl glycosylation of newly synthesized collagen as well as steady-state levels of mRNA for both lysyl hydroxylase and collagens I and III were determined in human osteoblast-like cells in vitro. In normal human osteoblasts lysyl hydroxylation was decreased by TGF-beta 1 particularly in the collagen alpha 2-chain. This effect was paralleled by an increase in lysyl residues, whereas glycosylation was not affected. The mRNA for lysyl hydroxylase was reduced by one-third under the influence of TGF-beta 1. Additionally, the mRNAs for both procollagen I alpha-chains were stimulated by TGF-beta 1, whereas pro alpha 1 (III)-mRNA showed a decrease. Changes in the local regulatory activity of TGF-beta 1 may play a role in matrix maturation such as collagen type production and lysyl hydroxylation, the latter being altered in various pathological conditions, e.g. in generalized osteopenia.
