Effect of Epidermal Growth Factor on Collagen Synthesis in Osteoblastic Cells Derived from Newborn Mouse Calvaria

Abstract: We investigated the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on collagen and protein synthesis in clone MC3T30-E1, a cell line which retains osteoblast-like characteristics. EGF at concentrations of 2-50 ng/ml significantly the hydroxyproline content of the cell layer. These effects were completely abolished by the addition of anti-EGF rabbit serum. The addition of indomethacin did not affect these EGF-induced effects. Collagen fiber formation was also reduced by EGF; a fine and unstriated type of fibril was de… Show more

“…Therefore, it is tempting to suggest that EGF shifts osteoblasts to cells with a less differentiated phenotype. EGF has a proliferative effect on osteoblasts, as judged by an increase of DNA synthesis, [3H]-thymidine incorporation, and cell number [16,17,19]. In the present study, no effect on DNA synthesis and protein content was observed after incubation with EGF.…”

“…In other studies with various osteoblast-like ceils, EGF has been shown to decrease alkaline phosphatase activity, hydroxyproline content, and collagen synthesis [16,19]. Among the osteosarcoma cell lines, there is a close relation between, on the one hand, the presence of receptors for and biological responses to 1,25(OH)2D3 and on the other hand, osteoblastic properties such as elevated alkaline phosphatase activity and bone formation in subcutaneous tumors [32].…”

“…Collagen prolyl hydroxylase activity was stimulated by EGF in the cotton-pellet granuloma system of Hiramatsu et al (7); however, the significance of this is uncertain since collagen synthesis was not directly determined in that study, and this enzyme activity is usually not rate-limiting for collagen synthesis (25). These authors also reported an EGF-mediated increase in this enzyme in cloned osteoblastic cells, yet a decrease in collagen synthesis was noted (26). In addition, EGF reduced collagen fiber formation and stimulated the production of type III collagen by osteoblastic cells (9).…”

“…P4H isoenzymes are expressed in most tissues, although there may be tissue specificity with regard to type I or II isoforms for the ␣ subunit (12)(13)(14). Although relatively little data is available for factors affecting P4H expression and activity, P4H may be regulated by nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor ␣, transforming growth factor ␤ (TGF␤), insulin-like growth factor 1, ␤ fibroblast growth factor, certain cytokines, and cigarette smoking (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Environmental stimuli, such as hypoxia, can induce P4H␣(I) expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, which results in excess accumulation of collagen, a process relevant to fibrosis (23,24).…”
