    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé On a fait ce travail pour determiner si le facteur responsable pour la liaison de calcium par un calcifableBacterionema matruchotii est dans la fraction lipide de la cellule. Des cellules congelees et sechees ont ete extraites par le chloroform-methanol. La fraction de chloroform-methanol, les cellules extraites et les cellules non traitees ont ete examinees pour la liaison de calcium. La fraction du chloroform-methanol et les cellules non traitees avaient la liaison de calcium. Les cellules extraites n'en avaient pas.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit wurde durchgeführt um festzustellen, ob sich der Faktor für die Calcium-bindung, durch das calcifizierendeBacterionema matruchotii, in der Lipoidfraktion befindet. Die lyophiilisierten Zellen wurden mit Chloroform-Methanol extrahiert. Die Chloroform-Methanol-Fraktion, die extrahierten Zellen, sowie die nicht behandelten Zellen wurden auf eine Calciumbindung hin untersucht. Die Chloroform-Methanol-Fraktion und die nicht behandelten Zellen demonstrierten eine Calciumbindung. Die extrahierten Zellen hingegen nicht.
    Notes: Abstract This work was done to determine whether the factor responsible for calcium binding by a calcifiableBacterionema matruchotii is in the lipid fraction of the cell. Freeze-dried cells were extracted with chloroform-methanol. The chloroform-methanol fraction, the extracted cells and untreated cells were examined for calcium binding. The chloroform-methanol fraction and the untreated cells bound calcium. The extracted cells did not.

    Notes: Summary The egg-shell of Japanese quail was studied by several techniques. Semithin sections (1μm thick) of non-decalcified shell were observed by normal and polarized light microscopy. Thin sections of non-decalcified shell, examined by transmission electron microscopy, permitted us to observe the forms and dimensions of crystals of calcite within different layers of the shell: mammilary layer, layer of cones, palissade layer and surface crystal layer. There appears to be two distinct zones in the layer of cones as well as in the superficial crystal layer. Electron microdiffraction revealed the orientation of calcite crystals in the columns. Some crystal defects (twins?) were described and the possibility of their artefactual formation during ultramicrotomy is discussed. Localization of Ca, Mg, P and S were made by X-ray microanalysis of semithin sections. This technique shows that shell membranes, and chiefly the true cuticle, are also mineralized but, in these layers, minerals are not crystallized. Otherwise the distribution of Mg is not uniform throughout the shell thickness; it is less concentrated in the external zone of the layer of cones. These results together with observation of developing shells by scanning electron microscopy allowed us to propose a scheme for shell organization of the quail egg. This organization was related with decalcification which occurs during hatching.

    Notes: Summary Bovine and human tendon tissue do not induce calcification in vitro. However, extraction of those tissues with 3% Na2HPO4 converts them to calcifiable matrices. The supernatant fraction derived from the extraction contains a nondialyzable, perchloric acid soluble component that inhibits calcification of the extracted matrix. This inhibitory substance is characterized by a molecular weight in the range of 85,000–100,000. Exposure to pronase or hyaluronidase did not alter the inhibitory potency but did render the inhibitor dialyzable. Commercial sources of hyaluronic acid, chondroitin-6-sulfate, chrondroitin-4-sulfate, dermatan sulfate, heparin and lysozyme did not inhibit calcification of the extracted matrix. Phosvitin, a phosphoglycoprotein is a potent inhibitor. Although phosvitin and the tendon extract also inhibit calcification of previously calcified matrix, they have no detectable effect on the rate of decalcification. We conclude that the mechanism of inhibition is characterized by a degree of specificity and that phosvitin and a macromolecular component of tendon tissue blocks conversion of an intermediate matrix-bound CaP complex to crystalline apatite. It seems reasonable that the tendon inhibitor could function in situ and possibly in vivo to control calcification of tendon tissue.

    Notes: Summary The elaboration of bone matrix glycoprotein by osteoblasts of alveolar bone was investigated by radioautography after the intravenous injection of3H-fucose into young rats. At selected times after injection, animals were sacrificed by intracardiac perfusion and demineralized specimens were prepared for light and electron microscope radioautography. At 5 and 10 min after injection, when the blood fucose level was high, silver grains were restricted to the spheroidal and cylindrical saccules of the Golgi apparatus. At 20 min membrane-limited secretory granules were also labeled. By 35 min, the blood fucose level had dropped and silver grains were detected over the apical cortical cytoplasm, in association with secretory granules located therein. Some grains were present over osteoblast processes and the adjacent prebone matrix. By 4 h most of the silver grains had left the cell. At that time they were observed over prebone, adjacent to osteoblast processes, as well as over the prebone-bone junction where a distinct band of label was noted. In demineralized preparations an electron-dense granular material was present at the prebone-bone junction in association with collagen fibrils. These findings provide evidence that osteoblasts in alveolar bone synthesize fucose-containing glycoprotein and indicate that the addition of3H-fucose occurs in the Golgi apparatus. The glycoprotein passes to the apical cortical cytoplasm by way of membrane-limited secretory granules, is exteriorized, and accumulates at the site where prebone transforms into bone (the prebone-bone junction). Since this is also the site of the calcification front, the deposition of labeled glycoprotein may be related to the deposition of bone mineral.

    Notes: Summary Extracellular masses of crystals are present in the endosternite of certain opilions (Phalangium, Odiellus, andLeiobunum). X-ray spectrography and secondary-ion analysis have shown them to be rich in calcium but poor in phosphorus and other elements. The associated anion has not been identified, but is most probably organic in nature and perhaps an oxalate.

    Notes: Summary The diphosphonates disodium ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate (EHDP) and disodium dichloromethylene diphosphonate (Cl2MDP) prevent hydroxyapatite (HA) formation in metastable calcium phosphate solutions, induced by calcium-phospholipid-phosphate complexes and by the acidic phospholipids phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl inositol. The diphosphonates appear to act not only as HA crystal poisons but also as surfactants which probably change the nature of the lipid micelle and the charge and conformational properties of the lipid molecules. The surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Non-Idet P-40 (NP-40), like the diphosphonates, prevent HA formation by the acidic phospholipids and complexed lipids, but do not act as HA surface poisons. The lipid surfactant lyso-phosphatidyl serine did not induce HA formation from solution. The relevance of the ability of the diphosphonates to act as lipid surfactants to the in vivo use of these agents is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Cathepsin D was purified from rat liver using a new affinity chromatographic method, based on the coupling to the specific inhibitor pepstatin. This preparation was used for the production of specific antibodies from rabbit. The purified IgG fraction was conjugated to horseradish peroxidase in a two-step coupling procedure and used for electron microscopic immunohistochemistry of the odontoblast-predentine region of the rat incisor. Precipitates, indicating the presence of cathepsin D, were seen in the odontoblast, odontoblast process, and in the extracellular unmineralized matrix, the predentine. The observations are discussed in relation to proteoglycan degradation at the mineralization front simultaneous with crystal formation, and in relation to the function of lysosomal enzymes in the turnover of connective tissue.

    Notes: Summary Medullary bone of birds maintained on a low-calcium diet represents a good model to study modifications of matrix composition in calcified tissue undergoing intense formation and resorption. The composition of the bone matrix during the low-calcium diet has been analyzed by both chemical and histological techniques. Sixty White Leghorn pullets 1 year old were used for the experiment. Fifteen birds served as controls and were killed on day zero; the remaining birds were placed on a calcium-deficient diet (0.13% calcium) and sacrificed after 4, 7, and 12 days of treatment in groups of 15. Serum levels of calcium, PTH, and estrogens were also measured. Chemical analysis of the samples were made for total nitrogen, hydroxyproline, hexosamine, hexoses, calcium, and phosphorus. Collagen and proteoglycans of the matrix of medullary bone of the egg-laying hens were found to be affected by the low-calcium diet. They either increased or decreased during the experiment but never in parallel. The increment of serum PTH is considered responsible for the variations in the amount of collagen. The effects of this hormone are magnified by the fall of serum estrogens as shown also by variations in the amounts of noncollagenous protein. In the late phase of the diet the matrix is represented by poorly calcified osteoid tissue rich in noncollagenous protein, i.e., proteoglycans and glycoproteins.

    Notes: Summary This paper reports the study of a subcutaneous heterotopic calcification from a patient with Thibierge-Weissenbach's syndrome, a type of creeping scleroderma included in the CRST syndrome. These local deposits, whose origin is still unknown, are commonly considered to be a classic apatite phase. Using SEM, high resolution TEM, electron diffraction, infrared spectrometry, and SEM and TEM microanalysis, it is demonstrated that this material is highly heterogeneous and appears in a nonstoichiometric, carbonated, calcium ion-deficient apatitic solid phase. Our study shows the co-existence of dense globules presenting an ill-organized, more or less amorphous phase (ACP) or microcrystalline (OCP, β tricalcium phosphate), with scattered apatite crystals, and of interglobular apatite crystals with a good cristallinity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des coupes de cartilage épiphysaire frais de jeunes rats, effectuées à la main, sont colorées à pH=4,5 dans des solutions à 0,01% de divers colorants cationiques, appartenant aux groupes de la thiazine, oxazine, azine, triphénylméthane, acridine, et phthallocyanine. Les granules intracellulaires métachromatiques, mises en évidence antérieurement par le bleu de toluidine, sont également identifiées à l'aide de l'azur A, le bleu de méthylène et le bleu de crésyl. Les granules se colorent moins bien à la thionine, le rouge neutre, la safranine O, le bleu de toluylène et l'acridine orange. Dans les conditions utilisées, la matrice de la zone de réserve et la matrice de la zone hypertrophique inférieure (en voie de calcification) se colorent, alors que les matrices des zones prolifératives et hypertrophiques supérieures ne prennent pas les colorants. La gallocyanine, le violet cristal, la fuchsine basique, l'azocarmin B, le bleu de gallamine et la bleu alcian ne se colorent pas ou donnent des réactions colorées différentes de celles décrites ci-dessus. Il semble que le pK et le poids moléculaire des colorants jouent un rôle important, mais ils ne paraissent pas être les seuls facteurs intervenant dans la coloration des granules. Un changement, lié à la calcification, semble intervenir au niveau du matériel métachromatique (probablement des polysaccharides protéiques), aussi bien dans la matrice que les cellules cartilagineuses épiphysaires.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Handpräparierte Schnitte von frischem Epiphysenknorpel junger Ratten wurden bei einem pH von 4,5 in 0,01% igen Lösungen verschiedener kationischer Farbstoffe folgender Klassen gefärbt: Thiazin, Oxazin, Azin, Triphenylmethan, Acridin und Phthalocyanin. Die intracellulären β-und γ-metachromatischen Granula, erstmals mit Toluidinblau im frischen Gewebe nachgewiesen, konnten auch gut mit Azur A, Methylenblau und Brillantkresylblau dargestellt werden. Die Granula konnten ebenfalls, aber weniger gut, mit Thionin, Neutralrot, Safranin D, Toluylenblau und Acridinorange gefärbt werden. Unter diesen Färbungsbedingungen werden die inaktive Matrixzone und die untere hypertrophische (verkalkende) Matrixzone angefärbt, während die proliferative und die obere hypertrophische Matrixzone sich nicht färben. Gallocyanin, Kristallviolett, basisches Fuchsin, Azokarmin B, Gallaminblau und Alzianblau färbten entweder gar nicht, oder gaben ein anderes als das obenbeschriebene Färbemuster. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß das pK und das Molekulargewicht der Farbstoffe wichtig aber nicht unbedingt die einzigen Faktoren sind, die die Färbung der Granula bestimmen. Die Resultate zeigen, daß eine Veränderung im metachromatischen Material (vermutlich Proteinpolysaccharide) vorliegt, und zwar sowohl in der Matrix als in den Zellen des Epiphysenknorpels; diese Veränderung scheint im Zusammenhang mit der Verkalkung zu stehen.
    Notes: Abstract Hand-cut sections of fresh epiphyseal cartilage from young rats were stained at pH 4.5 in 0.01% solutions of various cationic dyes of the thiazine, oxazine, azine, triphenylmethane, acridine, and phthallocyanin classes. The intracellular β-and γ-metachromatic granules, previously demonstrated in fresh tissues with toluidine blue, were also demonstrated well with azure A, methylene blue, and brilliant cresyl blue. The granules were also demonstrated, but not as well, by thionin, neutral red, safranin O, toluylene blue, and acridine orange. Under the conditions of staining, the reserve zone matrix and the lower hypertrophic (calcifying) zone matrix stained, whereas the proliferative and upper hypertrophic zone matrix did not stain. Gallocyanin, crystal violet, basic fuchsin, azocarmine B, gallamine blue, and alcian blue either did not stain, or gave a different pattern of staining from that described above. It is suggested that the pK and molecular weight of the dyes are important, but not necessarily the only factors in determining the staining of the granules. The results indicate that there is a change in the metachromatic material (presumably proteinpolysaccharide) in both the matrix and cells of epiphyseal cartilage, which appears to be related to calcification.
