The expression of collagenolytic activity by cells represents the rate- limiting step in the turnover of collagen during remodeling. The collagenase gene is transcriptionally activated in normal dermal or rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), resulting in secretion of trypsin-activatable procollagenase measuring in the range of 2.0-5.0 units/10(6) cells/48 h in the 14C-fibril assay. The addition of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma; 50-100 units/ml) inhibits the expression of collagenase activity by 45-80% in these cells. The IL- 1 beta induction of procollagenase protein was not altered by IFN- gamma, as judged by Western blot analysis using a monoclonal antibody to collagenase and by gelatin zymography, and procollagenase mRNA was also unaltered, as assessed by Northern blot analysis. Because collagenolytic activity is also controlled by the quantity of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases present, its expression was examined by Western blot analysis using a polyclonal antibody to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases and by reverse gelatin zymography. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase protein was found to be unaltered or slightly less abundant in conditioned media from cultures treated with IL-1 beta and IFN-gamma when compared with that from cultures treated with IL-1 beta alone. However, the expression of the metalloproteinase activator of procollagenase, stromelysin, was found to be significantly inhibited by the addition of IFN-gamma. Addition of purified activated stromelysin to these conditioned media completely reconstituted collagenolytic activity. These observations demonstrate in an intact system that stromelysin is a specific activator necessary for the development of collagenolytic activity. Despite stromelysin's lack of catalytic activity against collagen, its expression can serve as a control point in the regulation of collagenolysis.
