We have examined the combined effects of transforming growth factor-.beta. (TGF-.beta.), serum and .gamma.-interferon (.gamma.-IFN) on collagen synthesis by fibroblasts and compared the response of fibroblast subpopulations to TGF-.beta.. Human diploid fibroblasts were treated with TGF-.beta. alone and with serum or .gamma.-IFN. Cells were labelled with radioactive amino acids, and collagen production was measured as collagenase-digestible radioactivity. Collagen mRNA was determined by a solution-hybridization assay using procollagen-.alpha.1[I] cDNA clone HF 677. The results showed that either serum or TGF-.beta. increased incorporation, collagen production and mRNA by fibroblasts approx. 2-fold; however, collagen synthesis relative to total protein synthesis and collagen mRNA relative to total polyadenylated [poly (A)+] RNA were not affected. Only serum activated cell growth. Collagen production increased approx. 4-fold in cells exposed to both TGF-.beta. and serum, and this increase was equal to that expected for an additive effect by both components. Treatment with .gamma.-IFN decreased collagen production and collagen mRNA to 44 and 40%, respectively, whereas total incorporation and poly(A)+ RNA were affected only marginally. Cells exposed simultaneously to both .gamma.-IFN and TGF-.beta. produced less collagen and contained less mRNA than did those treated with TGF-.beta. alone. The .gamma.-IFN decreased collagen synthesis in control and TGF-.beta.-treated cultures to a similar extent, and TGF-.beta. increased collagen synthesis 2-fold in cells pre-treated with .gamma.-IFN. Fibroblast stains obtained in medium containing plasma-derived serum synthesized approximately half as much collagen as did cells derived from the same explant in the presence of fresh human serum, and TGF-.beta. stimulated collagen production and mRNA in both cell strains. We conclude that TGF-.beta., serum and .gamma.-IFN regulate collagen synthesis by independent mechanisms, and that the combined action of these components plays a significant role in regulating collagen synthesis during wound healing and tissue repair.
