The production of [14C]proline-labeled collagen by embryonic chick tendon cells in suspension culture is reduced when the cells are incubated in the presence of lysosomotropic agents NH4Cl or chloroquine. Since these agents have multiple effects on fibroblasts, including inhibition of collagen secretion, specific proteinase inhibitors were tested for their effect on collagen production. Here the proteinase inhibitorsN-p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethylketone (TLCK) and leupeptin, specific for certain cysteine and serine proteinases, and pepstatin A, specific for aspartic proteinases, were tested for their effects on both the production and secretion of collagen. When treated with the proteinase inhibitor TLCK, the percentage of protein synthesis devoted to collagen decreased from control levels of 19.0 ± 1.4% to 10.5 ± 2.4% with 10 μmTLCK. Collagen synthesis was further reduced to only 1.2% of total protein synthesis with 100 μmTLCK. The incorporation of [14C]proline into collagenase-digestible peptides was only slightly decreased in the samples treated separately with 50 μg/ml leupeptin or 60 μg/ml pepstatin A. However, the production of collagen was reduced to 10.9 ± 1.4% of total protein synthesis in samples treated with leupeptin and pepstatin A together. The basal intracellular degradation of newly synthesized, [14C]proline-labeled collagen was not significantly altered by any of the reagents tested, and secretion of the collagen which was produced was not impaired except in samples treated with 100 μmTLCK. The data presented are consistent with the hypothesis that a proteolytic mechanism utilizing some combination of cysteine, serine, and aspartic proteinases is necessary for continued collagen synthesis in freshly isolated embryonic chick tendon fibroblasts, and suggests that a heretofore unknown regulatory system may be operative in controlling the synthesis of collagen in fibroblasts.
