We examined the effects of prostaglandin E1 on the production and degradation of collagen in human fetal lung fibroblasts. Percentage collagen production was determined by incubating confluent cultures for 6 h with [3H]proline and either [14C]glycine or [14C]leucine and measuring the relative amounts of radioactivity incorporated into collagenase-sensitive and collagenase-insensitive material. Percentage collagen degradation was determined by measuring hydroxy[14C]proline in a low-molecular-weight fraction relative to total hydroxy[14C]proline. Prostaglandin E1, when present at a concentration as low as 0.25 μg/ml, reduced net collagen production by a factor of one-half, from 8 ± 2 to 4 ± 1 % (P< 0.05). In contrast, the change in percentage degradation was relatively gradual, rising steadily from the control value of 15 ± 2 to 33 ± 2% at 4 μg/ml (P< 0.05). The increase in degradation, while significant, could not account for the total decrease in collagen production. We conclude that prostaglandin E1 exerts its inhibitory effect on collagen production in two essentially independent ways: lowering the rate of synthesis and increasing intracellular degradation. However, the decrease in synthesis is greater than the increase in degradation.
