Abstract

Accumulation of glomerular extracellular matrix is a characteristic accompaniment of mesangial cell proliferation in progressive renal disease. We examined how growth on several matrices affected the proliferative phenotype of cultured rat mesangial cells. Compared with growth on plastic, Matrigel, or mesangial matrix, collagen type I caused a decreased cell number at 72 h, decreased total DNA per culture, and a decrease in the incorporation of [3H]thymidine during S phase in cells released from quiescence. These antiproliferative and antimitogenic effects of collagen type I required growth on a collagen gel; soluble collagen or collagen fragments were without effect. Because a number of agents elicit both proliferative and contractile responses in mesangial cells, we examined the effect of growth on collagen on contractility. Compared with plastic, cells grown on collagen type I were more contractile, showed a higher Ca2+ signal in response to endothelin, and responded to endothelin with a more rapid myosin light-chain kinase-dependent phosphorylation of myosin light chain. We conclude that growth on a collagen type I gel uncouples contractility from a proliferative response in mesangial cells, suppressing proliferation while enhancing contraction and Ca2+ signaling in response to endothelin.
