Collagen has been reported to be essential for the proliferation of various kinds of cells including human osteoblastic cells [Takamizawa, S., Maehata, Y., Imai, K., Senoo, H., Sato, S., Hata, R., 2004. Effects of ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a long-acting vitamin C derivative, on the proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblast-like cells. Cell Biol. Int. 28, 255-265], but the type(s) of collagen responsible for growth regulation is not known. Presently we found that ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a long-acting vitamin C derivative, stimulated both cell growth and the expression of mRNA for type III collagen in human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells and in normal human osteoblasts, as well as in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, but not the expression of type I collagen in these cells. Epidermal growth factor also stimulated both cell growth and expression of type III collagen mRNA in MG-63 cells. Among MG-63 cell clones, their growth rates correlated significantly with their COL3A1 messenger RNA levels but not with their COL1A1 or COL1A2 messenger RNA levels. Transfection of MG-63 cells with siRNA for COL3A1 but not with that for COL1A1 decreased the growth rates of the transfected cells concomitant with a drop in the level of COL3A1 mRNA. Furthermore, cell proliferation as observed by thymidine incorporation into DNA and cell number was increased when MG-63 cells were cultured on type III collagen-coated dishes. Taken together, our results indicate that type III collagen is the collagen component responsible for the growth stimulation of human osteoblastic cells.
