Collagen phenotypes were determined for rabbit articular chondrocytes in cartilage slices and 1st - 8th monolayer cultures. During the 1st 24 h of slice culture, chondrocytes exhibited the following collagen phenotype: 96% type II, 3% X2Y and 1% type III. In primary monolayer culture, no other types of collagen were added to this differentiated chondrocyte phenotype. The synthesis per cell of each of the expressed collagens was stimulated. By the 5th day of primary culture X2Y synthesis increased 10 X, and by the 8th day, a further 4-fold. In contrast, the synthesis of collagen types II and III showed no change by the 5th day, but increased 7-fold by the 8th day. Independent regulation of X2Y in this situation was suggested. In a separate experiment 1st-5th cultures were studied. The synthesis/cell of type II colagen declined steadily and essentially ceased by the 5th culture, indicating the loss of differentiated function by these chondrocyte progeny. The loss of type II synthesis was not quantitatively replaced by the synthesis of type I trimer and type I collagen which was 1st detected in the 3rd culture. While these qualitative changes in phenotype occurred, the stimulated rate of type III collagen synthesis did not change and that of X2Y declined only slightly. Thus the termination of type II synthesis did not significantly alter the synthesis of the other collagens produced by differentiated chondrocytes. The final de-differentiated phenotype was 41% type I, 25% X2Y, 20% type I trimer, 13% type III and 1% type II.
