Intracellular degradation of newly synthesized collagen is quantitated by incubating fibroblasts with [14C]proline and determining the percentage of total [14C]hydroxyproline that is present in a low molecular weight fraction. Several problems make this difficult. (1) Commercial [14C]proline is often contaminated with [14C]hydroxyproline and must be purified before use. (2) Salt and [14C]proline interfere with the determination of [14C]hydroxyproline in the low molecular weight fraction and must be removed by preparative ion-exchange chromatography. (3) Epimerization of trans- to cis-hydroxyproline during acid hydrolysis is variable and must be taken into account. (4) Loss of [14C]hydroxyproline during processing varies; [3H]hydroxyproline can be used as an internal measure of recovery, even though tritium may be lost during hydrolysis. An analytic cation-exchange resin is used for the final quantitation of [14C]hydroxyproline in the low and high molecular weight fractions. With these methods, degradation of newly synthesized collagen can be determined with a precision of ± 3%.
