    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'effet des protéoglycanes sur la croissance de minéraux d'ensemencement dans un milieu synthétique est étudié sous l'angle de la régulation de l'ossification enchondrale. Les protéoglycanes sont isolés à partir ducartilage nasal bovin à l'aide de trois méthodes publiées. A l'aide de chacune de ces méthodes, deux fractions sont isolées qui se distinguent par la présence ou l'absence de composés qui se sédimentent rapidement par ultracentrifugation analytique. Chaque fraction est étudiée en fonction de sa possibilité d'inhiber la croissance minérale dans un milieu tamponné synthétiquein vitro. A des concentrations de protéoglycanes qui se retrouvent dans le liquide interstitielle de la métaphyse de rats de 6 à 7 semaines, les fractions contenant des composés qui se sédimentent rapidement, inhibent la croissance minérale; alors que les fractions contenant des composés, qui sédimentent lentement, ainsi qu'une glycoprotéine (protéine de liaison) n'ont pas d'activité d'inhibition dans ces systèmes. La comparaison de la capacité de fixation du calcium de certaines fonctions de protéoglycanes ainsi que leur effet sur la diminution de l'activité calcique dans des conditions de dialyse équilibrées ne montrent aucune différence sur le comportement des fractions de protéoglycanes comportant des produits sédimentant rapidement ou lentement. Un degré plus élevé de protection des minéraux naissants, fournie par les portions protéiques adjacentes de protéoglycanes agrégés, pourrait être responsable de l'action d'inhibition de croissance minéralein vitro de protéoglycanes sédimentant rapidement.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Proteoglykanen auf das Wachstum von Impfkristallen in synthetischer Lymphe wurde, mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Regulation von endochondraler Verkalkung, studiert. Die Proteoglykane wurden nach drei publizierten Methoden aus dem Nasenknorpel des Rindes isoliert. Bei jeder Methode wurden zwei Fraktionen abgetrennt, welche sich bei der analytischen Ultrazentrifugation in bezug auf An- oder Abwesenheit von schnellsedimentierenden Komponenten unterschieden. Jede Fraktion wurde darauf geprüft, ob siein vitro das Mineralwachstum in einer gepufferten synthetischen Lymphe zu hemmen vermochte. Bei Proteoglykan-Konzentrationen, wie sie in der interstitiellen Flüssigkeit endochondraler Platten von 6 bis 7 Wochen alten Ratten vermutet werden, hatten diejenigen Fraktionen, welche schnell-sedimentierende Komponenten enthielten, eine Hemmwirkung auf das Mineralwachstum; Fraktionen mit langsam-sedimentierenden Komponenten und mit einem Glycoprotein („link protein”) hingegen zeigten in diesen Systemen keine Hemmwirkung. Der Vergleich der Calcium-bindenden Fähigkeit bestimmter Proteoglykan-Fraktionen sowie deren vereinte Wirkung auf die Herabsetzung der Calcium-Aktivität unter Bedingungen der Gleichgewichtsdialyse zeigte keine Unterschiede im Verhalten von Proteoglykan-Fraktionen, die reich an schnell-sedimentierenden Komponenten waren im Gegensatz zu Fraktionen, welche ausschließlich langsam-sedimentierende Komponenten enthielten. Die Hemmwirkung von schnell-sedimentierenden Proteoglykanen auf das Mineralwachstumin vitro wird mit folgender Hypothese erklärt: Die Mineralkeime werden in zunehmendem Maße durch angrenzende Proteinkerne angehäufter Proteoglykane geschützt.
    Notes: Abstract The effect of proteoglycans on growth of seeding minerals in synthetic lymph was studied with special reference to regulation of endochondral calcification. Proteoglycans were isolated from bovine nasal cartilage by three published methods. By each method two fractions were separated which differed in respect to presence or absence of fast-sedimenting components on analytical ultracentrifugation. Each fraction was tested for its capacity to inhibit mineral growth in a buffered synthetic lymphin vitro. At concentrations of proteoglycans estimated to occur in the interstitial fluid of endochondral plates from 6- to 7-week-old rats, the fractions containing fast-sedimenting components were inhibitory to mineral growth; whereas fractions containing the slow-sedimenting components and a glycoprotein (link protein) had no inhibitory activity demonstrable in these systems. Comparison of calcium-binding capacity of certain proteoglycan fractions as well as their computed effect upon reduction of calcium activity under conditions of equilibrium dialysis revealed no differences in the behavior of a proteoglycan fraction rich in fast—as opposed to fractions composed entirely of slow-sedimenting components. An increased degree of shielding of mineral embryos provided by adjacent protein cores of aggregated proteoglycans is hypothesized to explain the inhibitory action of fast-sedimenting proteoglycans on mineral growthin vitro.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le mécanisme de l'élévation du (HCO 3 − ) dans les liquides extracellulaires du cartilage (Cfl) a été étudié au niveau, de métaphyses tibiales de Rat. Au cours d'étudesin vitro, les courbes pH- $$P_{CO_2 } $$ dans une lymphe synthétique ne sont pas modifiées de façon nette par des protéines-polysaccharides ou par une protéine cationique. (HCO 3 − ) de Cfl, aspiré à partir de pièces métaphysaires, incubées isolément, décroit rapidement en fonction du temps. Les résultats de ces deux expériences semblent infirmer un rôle des sécrétions cartilagineuses comme cause de gradients sang— Cfl (HCO 3 − ) in vivo. L'acétazolamide, administré à des ratsin vivo, réduit le gradient sang —Cfl (HCO 3 − ) jusqu'à, un seuil non dosable. Cette action ne peut être attribuée à l'acidose généralisée, produite par l'acétazolamide, étant donné que les rats témoins, ayant une acidose généralisée similaire, provoquée par un traitement à NH4Cl, présentent un gradient sang —Cfl (HCO 3 − ) net. La répartition de l'activité en anhydrase carbonique dans les tissus épiphysaires et métaphysaires de rats identiques est déterminée par micro-analyse. L'activité enzymatique n'est pas détectée dans des échantillons cartilagineux, mais est retrouvée, de façon significative, dans les structures adjacentes. L'activité en anhydrase carbonique, mesurée dans les structures adjacentes, est considérée comme les lieux de sécrétion d'HCO 3 − . Le rôle éventuel des capillaires épiphysaires et métaphysaires et des cellules osseuses dans la sécrétion d'HCO 3 − , est envisagé.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der mechanismus, durch welchen (HCO 3 − ) in extrazellulären Knorpelflüssigkeiten (fl) der Wachstumsplatten von Rattentibiae erhöht ist, wurde untersucht. Beiin vitro Versuchen mit einer synthetischen Lymphe waren die pH- $$P_{CO_2 } $$ Kurven weder durch Proteinpolysaccharide noch durch kationisches Protein nachweisbar verändert. In Cfl, welche aus isolierten Inkubaten von Wachstumsknorpel entnommen wurden, nahm (HCO 3 − ) in Funktion der Zeit ebenfalls rasch ab. Die Resultate beider Experimente sprechen dagegen, daß die Knorpelsekretein vivo als Ursache der Blut-Cfl (HCO 3 − )- Gradienten in Betracht kommen. Acetazolamid, das Ratten verabreicht wurde, erniedrigte den Blut-Cfl (HCO 3 − )-Gradienten auf ein nicht mehr nachweisbares Niveau. Dieser Effekt konnte nicht einer durch Acetazolamid hervorgerufenen generalisierten Acidose zugeschrieben, werden, da Kontrollratten mit einem ähnlichen Grad von generalisierter Acidose, welche von einer NH4Cl-Behandlung herrührte, einen ansehnlichen Blut-Cfl (HCO 3 − )-Gradienten aufrechterhielten. Die Verteilung der Kohlensäureanhydrase-Aktivität in epiphysären und metaphysären Geweben von gleichartigen Ratten wurde durch Mikroanalyse bestimmt. Eine enzymatische Aktivität konnte in den Knorpelproben nicht nachgewiesen werden, wurde jedoch in signifikanten Mengen in den angrenzenden Geweben gefunden. Es wurde die Hypothese aufgestellt, daß die Stellen, wo diese Kohlensäureanhydrase-Aktivität in angrenzenden Geweben gemessen wurde, den Sekretionsstellen von HCO 3 − entspricht. Die mögliche Beteiligung von epiphysären und metaphysären Capillargefäßen und von Knochenzellen an, der HCO 3 − -Sekretion wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Abstract The mechanism by which (HCO 3 − ) is elevated in extracellular cartilage fluids (Cfl) of rat tibial growth plates was investigated. Inin vitro studies, the pH- $$P_{CO_2 } $$ curves in a synthetic lymph were not detectably altered by proteinpolysaccharides or by a cationic protein. Also, (HCO 3 − ) in Cfl aspirated from isolated incubates of growth cartilage decreased rapidly as a function of time. Results of both of these experiments mitigated against a role for cartilage secretions as the cause of blood-Cfl (HCO 3 − ) gradientsin vivo. Acetazolamide administered to ratsin vivo reduced the blood-Cfl (HCO 3 − ) gradient to an undetectable level. This effect could not be attributed to systemic acidosis produced by acetazolamide since control rats with a similar degree of systemic acidosis resulting from NH4Cl treatment, maintained a substantial blood-Cfl (HCO 3 − ) gradient. The distribution of carbonic anhydrase activity in epiphyseal and metaphyseal tissues of similar rats was determined by microassay. Enzymatic activity was not detected in cartilage samples, but was found in significant amounts in adjacent structures. This carbonic anhydrase activity measured in adjacent structures was hypothesized to represent sites of HCO 3 − secretion. The possible involvement in HCO 3 − secretion of epiphyseal or metaphyseal capillaries and bone cells is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Matrix vesicles, media vesicles, and plasma membranes from three well-characterized, osteoblast-like cells (ROS 17/2.8, MG-63, and MC-3T3-E1) were evaluated for their content of enzymes capable of processing the extracellular matrix. Matrix vesicles were enriched in alkaline phosphatase specific activity over the plasma membrane and contained fully active neutral, but not acid, metalloproteinases capable of digesting proteoglycans, potential inhibitors of matrix calcification. Matrix vesicle enrichment in neutral metalloproteinase varied with the cell line, whereas collagenase, lysozyme, hyaluronidase, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) were not found in any of the membrane fractions examined. MC-3T3-E1 cells were cultured for 32 days in the presence of ascorbic acid (100 μg/ml), β-glycerophosphate (5 mM), or a combination of the two, to assess changes in matrix vesicle enzymes during calcification. Ascorbate or β-glycerophosphate alone had no effect, but in combination produced significant increases in both active and total neutral metalloproteinase in matrix vesicles and plasma membranes, with the change seen in matrix vesicles being the most dramatic. This correlated with an increase in the formation of von Kossa-positive nodules. The results of the present study indicate that osteoblast-like cells produce matrix vesicles enriched in proteoglycan-degrading metalloproteinases. In addition, the observation that matrix vesicles contain significantly increased metalloproteinases under conditions favorable for mineralization in vitro lends support to the hypothesis that matrix vesicles play an important role in extracellular matrix processing and calcification in bone.

    Description: The mechanical integrity of bone is dependent on the bone matrix, which is believed to account for the plastic deformation of the tissue, and the mineral, which is believed to account for the elastic deformation. The validity of this model is shown in this study based on analysis of the bones of vitamin B6-deficient and vitamin B6-replete chick bones. In this model, when B6-deficient and control animals are compared, vitamin B6 deficiency has no effect on the mineral content or composition of cortical bone as measured by ash weight (63 +/- 6 vs. 58 +/- 3); mineral to matrix ratio of the FTIR spectra (4.2 +/- 0.6 vs. 4.5 +/- 0.2), line-broadening analyses of the X-ray diffraction 002 peak (beta 002 = 0.50 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.49 +/- 0.01), or other features of the infrared spectra. In contrast, collagen was significantly more extractable from vitamin B6-deficient chick bones (20 +/- 2% of total hydroxyproline extracted vs. 10 +/- 3% p 〈 or = 0.001). The B6-deficient bones also contained an increased amount of the reducible cross-links DHLNL, dehydro-dihydroxylysinonorleucine, (1.03 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.84 +/- 0.13 p 〈 or = 0.001); and a nonsignificant increase in HLNL, dehydro-hydroxylysinonorleucine, (0.51 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.43 +/- 0.03, p 〈 or = 0.10). There were no significant changes in bone length, bone diameter, or area moment of inertia. In four-point bending, no significant changes in elastic modulus, stiffness, offset yield deflection, or fracture deflection were detected. However, fracture load in the B6-deficient animals was decreased from 203 +/- 35 MPa to 151 +/- 23 MPa, p 〈 or = 0.01, and offset yield load was decreased from 165 +/- 9 MPa to 125 +/- 14 MPa, p 〈 or = 0.05. Since earlier histomorphometric studies had demonstrated that the B6-deficient bones were osteopenic, these data suggest that although proper cortical bone mineralization occurred, the alterations of the collagen resulted in changes to bone mechanical performance.

    Description: The objective of the present investigation was to characterize further the connective tissue disorder produced by pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) deficiency, as previously evidenced by electron microscopy. Following the second post-natal week, fast growing male chicks were deprived of pyridoxine for a 1-mo period. Six weeks post-natally, blood concentrations in the experimental deficiency group had declined to deficiency levels as registered by low concentrations of pyridoxal phosphate (coenzyme form) in erythrocytes, but did not reach levels associated with neurological symptoms. Light microscopic study showed abnormalities in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissues. Collagen cross-links and the aldehyde contents were not significantly lower in cartilage and tendon collagens of vitamin B-6-deficient animals than in age-matched controls; also, their proteoglycan degrading protease and collagenase activities measured in articular cartilages were not greater. Thus, proteolysis was an unlikely alternative mechanism to account for the loss of connective tissue integrity. These results point to the need for further investigation into adhesive properties of collagen associated proteoglycans or other proteins in vitamin B-6-deficient connective tissue.
