Collagenous substrates promote the accumulation of extracellular matrix materials by epithelia in culture. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) metabolism was compared in secondary cultures of mouse mammary epithelial cells maintained on plastic or type I collagen gel substrates. The incorporation of 35SO42- into GAG during brief labeling indicated no difference between substrates in the rate of GAG synthesis. During prolonged labeling accumulation of [35S]GAG in cultures on collagen exceeded that of cultures on plastic. This increased accumulation was due to a markedly reduced rate of GAG degradation. GAG degradation did not occur in the medium, indicating that degradation was localized to the cells. The cultures on collagen contained slowly degrading cell-associated [35S]GAG pool and a Ru red-stained basal lamina, neither of which is present in cultures on plastic. The cell-associated [35S]GAG in cultures on collagen was partially localized to the site of the ultrastructurally identified basal lamina. Formation of the basal lamina may result from collagen-mediated reduction in the degradation of GAG-containing molecules.
