The inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on procollagen synthesisis associated with a decrease in total cellular type I procollagen mRNAs in chick skin fibroblasts. These effects of dexamethasone are receptor mediated as determined by pretreatment with the glucocorticoid antagonists progesterone and RU-486 and with the agonist/3-dihydrocortisol. Dexamethasone has a small but significant inhibitory effect on cell growth of chick skin fibroblasts. The ability of this corticosteroid to decrease the steady-state levels of type I procollagen mRNAs innuclei, cytoplasm, and polysomes varies. The largest decrease of type I procollagen mRNAs is observed in the nuclear and cytoplasmic subcellularfractions 24 h after dexamethasone treatment. Type I procollagen hnRNAs are also decreased as determined by Northern blot analysis of total nuclear RNA. The synthesis of total cellular type I procollagen mRNAs is reversibly decreased by dexamethasone treatment. In addition thesynthesis of total nuclear type I procollagen mRNA sequences is decreased at 2, 4, and 24 h following the addition of radioactive nucleoside and dexamethasone to cell cultures. Although the synthesis of pro a 1 (1) and pro a2 (I) mRNAs is decreased in dexmethasone-treated chick skin fibroblasts, thedeg-radation of the total cellular procollagen mRNAs is not altered while the degradation of total cellularRNA is stabilized. These data indicate that the dexamethasone-mediated decrease of procollagen synthesis in embryonic chick skin fibroblasts results from the regulation of procollagen gene expression.
