Proteoglycans synthesized by rat myoblasts L6J1 in culture were isolated using sorbent Q-Sepharose from culture medium, extracellular matrix (ECM), and cells. Elution of the sorbed material in a NaCl gradient separated proteoglycans from the bulk of proteins eluted at low concentration of the salt. Four fractions (fractions I-IV) were obtained for each component of the cell culture, including two proteoglycan fractions for the ECM and culture medium and one fraction for the myoblasts. Proteoglycans of the culture medium were virtually completely represented by proteoglycans of fetal calf serum. With enzymes chondroitinase ABC and heparinase III chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycans were shown to prevail in all components of the myoblast culture. The core proteins of proteoglycans were characterized by electrophoresis. 相似文献

In an attempt to isolate and characterize the putative target cells for growth hormone, chondrocytes were isolated from rat rib growth cartilage and fractionated by centrifugation in a discontinuous Percoll gradient. This resulted in three cell fractions with differing properties. The fraction with the lowest density consisted mainly of large, lipid-containing cells which became flattened in subsequent culture. The cells in this fraction were fair collagen producers but synthesized only minor amounts of proteoglycans and apparently no proteoglycan aggregates. These cells probably originate in the hypertrophy zone of the growth plate. The fraction with highest density, on the other hand, consisted of small cells which upon cell culture became polygonal and surrounded with refractile matrix. They synthesized less collagen, but more proteoglycans than the low-density fraction. The proportion of proteoglycan aggregates was rather low (10-20%) but otherwise the proteoglycans were similar to those synthesized by other chondrocytes. This cell fraction was tentatively identified as cells from the upper part of the growth plate. Finally, the middle fraction was heterogeneous, consisting of cells of varying shape. This fraction synthesized large amounts of both collagen and proteoglycans. In all three cell fractions, type II collagen predominated. There were also minor amounts of (1a, 2a, 3a) collagen, and, in the two denser fractions, of type I collagen. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix and the maintenance of the differentiated state: proteoglycans synthesized by replated chondrocytes and nonchondrocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
It has been previously shown that undifferentiated stage 23 to 24 chick limb bud mesenchymal cells can be maintained in culture under conditions which promote chondrogenesis. As the chondrocytes mature in vitro, their proteoglycan synthesis progresses through a specific and reproducible biosynthetic program. By the eighth day of culture, the chondrocytes are making proteoglycans that are similar to proteoglycans isolated from adult animal tissues. Relative to the Day 8 proteoglycans, the proteoglycans synthesized by chick limb bud chondrocytes earlier in culture have a smaller monomer size, longer chondroitin sulfate chains, shorter keratan sulfate chains, a higher ratio of chondroitin-6-sulfate to chondroitin-4-sulfate, and a decreased ability to interact with hyaluronic acid. We have reported a procedure to remove the cells from Day 8 cultures and strip away most, if not all, of the extracellular matrix. In addition, the chondrocytes can be separated from the 40-50% nonchondrocytic cells normally found in Day 8 cultures, and the two cell populations replated separately. This report describes the analysis of the proteoglycans synthesized by replated cells; this analysis demonstrates quantitative and qualitative differences between chondrocyte and nonchondrocyte proteoglycans. The overall rate of proteoglycan synthesis is fourfold higher and the rate of synthesis of high buoyant density proteoglycans 30-fold higher for replated chondrocytes relative to nonchondrocytes. Qualitatively, more newly synthesized nonchondrocyte proteoglycans partition at lower buoyant density on CsCl equilibrium density gradients than do chondrocyte proteoglycans. Nonchondrocyte proteoglycans are of two major classes: One has a monomer size slightly smaller than that of Day 8 chondrocyte proteoglycan, but has much longer glycosaminoglycan chains. The other is considerably smaller than Day 8 chondrocyte proteoglycans, but has glycosaminoglycans of slightly larger size. In contrast, replated chondrocytes synthesize, even as soon as 4.5 hr after replating, proteoglycans that are identical to Day 8 chondrocyte proteoglycan in monomer size, in glycosaminoglycan chain size, in aggregability, and in the ratio of 6-sulfated to 4-sulfated chondroitin. Since denuding mature Day 8 chondrocytes of their extracellular matrix does not cause them to recapitulate their developmentally regulated program for the biosynthesis of proteoglycans, it is concluded that the quality of mature chondrocyte proteoglycan is not altered by the absence of extracellular matrix. 相似文献

Characterization of monoclonal antibody 155.8 and partial characterization of its proteoglycan antigen on human melanoma cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Immunization of mice with a plasma membrane-enriched fraction from human malignant melanoma cells and subsequent generation of hybridomas resulted in the isolation of an IgG1 monoclonal antibody, 155.8, that recognizes chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. By cell binding analysis, 155.8 was shown to react with seven of eight cultured melanoma cell lines, but not with a variety of lymphoblastoid cell lines or cultured tumor cells derived from other solid tumor types. Indirect immunoprecipitation of the 155.8 antigen from intrinsically labeled melanoma cells revealed a glycoprotein of Mr = 250,000 and a sulfated molecule of Mr greater than 400,000. The antigen was identified as a chondroitin sulfate type A/C proteoglycan synthesized by melanoma cells on the basis of its sensitivity to chondroitinase ABC digestion and the identification of sulfated glycosaminoglycans released from the antigen immunoprecipitated by 155.8. The determinants recognized by antibodies 155.8 and 9.2.27, another anti-chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, immunoprecipitate only a proteoglycan from high density cesium chloride gradient fractions, (1.487 g/liter); however, they immunoprecipitate a free glycoprotein of Mr = 250,000 from low density fractions (1.317 g/liter). This demonstrated that the 155.8 and 9.2.27 determinants, both of which reside on the glycoprotein of Mr = 250,000, are also present in the proteoglycan, suggesting that this glycoprotein is the proteoglycan core protein. Monoclonal antibody 155.8 reacts with a determinant on the core protein distinct from that recognized by 9.2.27. Proteoglycans bearing 155.8 determinants are distributed on the surface of cultured melanoma cells in a punctated fashion that apparently resolves to short, filamentous structures at high magnification. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that 155.8-defined proteoglycans are found in freshly biopsied melanoma tissue, suggesting that these antigens are also synthesized in vivo by melanoma cells. 相似文献

Large and small proteoglycans are essential components of articular cartilage. How to induce chondrocytes to repair damaged cartilage with normal ratios of matrix components after their loss due to degenerative joint disease has been a major research focus. We have developed immortalized human chondrocyte cell lines for examining the regulation of cartilage-specific matrix gene expression. However, the decreased synthesis and deposition of cartilage matrix associated with a rapid rate of proliferation has presented difficulties for further examination at the protein level. In these studies, proteoglycan synthesis was characterized in two chondrocyte cell lines, T/C-28a2 and tsT/AC62, derived, respectively, from juvenile costal and adult articular cartilage, under culture conditions that either promoted or decreased cell proliferation. Analysis of proteo[36S]glycans by Sepharose CL-4B chromatography and SDS-PAGE showed that the large proteoglycan aggrecan and the small, leucine-rich proteoglycans, decorin and biglycan, were produced under every culture condition studied. In monolayer cultures, a high initial cell density and conditions that promoted proliferation (presence of serum for T/C-28a2 cells or permissive temperature for the temperature-sensitive tsT/AC62 cells) favored cell survival and ratios of proteoglycans expected for differentiated chondrocytes. However, the tsT/AC62 cells produced more proteoglycans at the nonpermissive temperature. Culture of cells suspended in alginate resulted in a significant decrease in proteoglycan production in all culture conditions. While the tsT/AC62 cells continued to produce a larger amount of aggrecan than small proteoglycans, the T/C-28a2 cells lost the ability to produce significant amounts of aggrecan in alginate culture. In addition, our data indicate that immortalized chondrocytes may alter their ability to retain pericellular matrix under changing culture conditions, although the production of the individual matrix components does not change. These findings provide critical information that will assist in the development of a reproducible chondrocyte culture model for the study of regulation of proteoglycan biosynthesis in cartilage. 相似文献

The in vitro phenotype of bovine articular chondrocytes is described. Chondrocytes plated at high density in roller-bottle and dish cultures were maintained in vitro. The major matrix macromolecules, collagen and proteoglycan, synthesized by these cells were characterized during the course of the culture period. The chondrocytes synthesized mainly Type II collagen, which was found predominantly in the cell-associated matrix. The media contained a mixture of Type II and Type III collagens. Type I collagen was detectable in neither the medium nor the cell-associated matrix. The proteoglycan monomers found in media and cell-associated matrix had the same hydrodynamic sizes as monomers synthesized by cartilage slices or those extracted from adult articular cartilage. The majority of proteoglycans synthesized by the cells were found in high molecular weight aggregates which were readily recovered from the media and were extractable from cell-associated matrix with low ionic strength buffers. The results demonstrate the long-term in vitro phenotypic stability of the bovine articular chondrocytes. The advantages of the in vitro system as a model for studying the effects of external agents, such as drugs and vitamins, are discussed. 相似文献

Chick lens epithelial cells were cultured on plastic and type IV collagen substrata, and the confluent cultures were labeled continuously with [35S]sulfate for 20 h. Intact lenses were also labeled in the same way. 35S-Proteoglycans isolated from those cultures were compared for their molecular sizes and glycosaminoglycan compositions. The results have shown that: 1) Proteoglycans synthesized by cells on type IV collagen were significantly smaller than those by cells on plastic. 2) Proteoglycans of intact lens showed a broad distribution of molecular size and contained a high proportion of chondroitin sulfate in the medium fraction compared to those of the two cell cultures. In order to explain such differences between proteoglycans from cultures, label-chase experiments with [35S]sulfate were done for proteoglycans synthesized. 35S-Proteoglycans isolated at each chase time 0, 2.5, and 17 h) were compared and the following results were found: 1) The cell layers of both "plastic" and "type IV collagen" cultures contained glycosaminoglycan species predominantly at each chase time rather than proteoglycans. 2) Changes in the glycosaminoglycan compositions of medium fractions of cell cultures were observed during the chase period; in medium of the "plastic" culture, proteoheparan sulfate increased with chase time, whereas in medium of the "type IV collagen" culture, chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan (not proteoglycan) increased with chase time. 3) In intact lens culture, lens capsule fraction at every chase time contained a proteoglycan unique in molecular size, which was not found in cell culture fractions. 4) All fractions from intact lens cultures contained a higher content of chondroitin sulfate at every chase time than the respective fractions from cell cultures. These results suggest that adhesion of the cells to type IV collagen or lens capsule influences the degradation and secretion of proteoglycans. In addition, they can account partially for the above-described differences in molecular sizes and glycosaminoglycan compositions between 35S-proteoglycans from various cultures continuously labeled with [35S]sulfate. 相似文献

Isolation and partial characterization of high-buoyant-density proteoglycans synthesized in ovo by embryonic chick skeletal muscle and heart 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Proteoglycans, a major component of the extracellular matrix, are produced in many tissues. A report from this laboratory describes the proteoglycans synthesized in culture by chick embryonic skeletal muscle myotubes. To extend this study to in vivo conditions, chick embryos were radiolabeled in ovo and the newly synthesized high-buoyant-density proteoglycans from skeletal muscle analyzed. In both leg muscle and pectoral muscle, three major high-density proteoglycans are synthesized. One is small and is similar to the proteoglycans synthesized in culture by muscle fibroblasts. The other two proteoglycans are large. The larger of these shares structural features with the proteoglycan synthesized by skeletal muscle cells in culture. It has large chondroitin sulfate chains (estimated molecular weight of 70,000) with a high proportion of chondroitin 6-sulfate (approximately 90%). The smaller of the two large proteoglycans is distinct (chondroitin sulfate of estimated molecular weight 24,000 and approximately 60% 6-sulfated disaccharides) and is not detected in muscle cultures; evidence suggests it is not made by myoblasts. Whole hearts synthesize proteoglycans with some structural similarities, and also differences, to those made in skeletal muscle. These data indicate that the proteoglycans synthesized in muscle cultures are likewise made in developing muscle in ovo but that another distinct strictly in ovo proteoglycan is also produced. 相似文献

Correlated metabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid in bovine cartilage organ cultures 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Proteoglycans exist in cartilage as complexes in which many proteoglycan molecules are bound to a central filament of hyaluronic acid. Many studies have investigated changes taking place in proteoglycan monomer structure during cartilage catabolism usually under the assumption that hyaluronic acid is a relatively inert metabolic component of the complex. In this paper we present organ culture data supporting a new hypothesis that the catabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid are coordinately regulated by chondrocytes. The data indicates that: 1) newly synthesized hyaluronate and proteoglycan maintain a nearly constant ratio, almost identical to that existing for the total chemical amounts of these two components in cartilage tissue; 2) these two components are catabolized with virtually identical kinetics; and 3) this catabolic relationship in vitro reflects the loss of hyaluronate and proteoglycans from native, undissociated aggregates as isolated from the tissue. We conclude that hyaluronate catabolism is an integral part of the overall mechanism of proteoglycan resorption in cartilage and that further understanding of this process may be key to the elucidation of the regulatory pathways for proteoglycan resorption in health and disease. 相似文献

The proteoglycans of the Rhesus monkey corneal stroma were characterized by analyzing both radiolabeled proteoglycans synthesized by corneas in organ culture and native corneal proteoglycans obtained by large scale preparations. The analyses indicate that the proteoglycans synthesized in organ culture were similar to, if not identical with, their counterparts in the stroma although they are synthesized in different prportions in vitro than they acumulate in vivo. The corneal stroma contains two proteoglycans. The chondroitin-dermatan sulfate proteoglycan consists of approximately 70% protein and has a Mr = approximately 100,000 to 150,000. It contains one chondroitin-dermatan sulfate side chain of Mr = approximately 55,000. The keratan sulfate proteoglycan consists of approximately 74% protein and has a Mr = approximately -40,000 to 70,000. It contains one or two keratan sulfate side chains with a Mr = approximately 7,000 each. Radiolabeling indicates that both proteoglycans contain glycoprotein-type oligosaccharides as part of their structure. 相似文献

Proteoglycans were extracted from the extracellular matrix of cultures of embryonic chick chondrocytes grown at high density and were purified by CsCl density gradient centrifugation. The chemical, physical and hyaluronate binding properties of the proteoglycans were similar to those observed in proteoglycans from other hyaline cartilages. Proteoglycans in the media were also purified and on analysis showed three populations of proteoglycans to be present. One population had the physical characteristics of a typical proteoglycan subunit and bound hyaluronate, the other two populations were unable to complex with hyaluronate but one had the physical characteristics of the proteoglycan subunit and the other was of smaller molecular weight. The small molecular weight appears to be a product of the enzymatic degradation of the larger molecular weight species. 相似文献

The in vitro cell culture age and cell density of articular chondrocytes alter sulfated-proteoglycan biosynthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of cell culture age and concomitant changes in cell density on the biosynthesis of sulfated-proteoglycan by rabbit articular chondrocytes in secondary monolayer culture was studied. Low density (LD, 2 d), middle density (MD, 5-7 d), and high density (HD, 12-15 d) cultures demonstrated changes in cellular morphology and rates of DNA synthesis. DNA synthesis was highest at LD to MD densities, but HD cultures continued to incorporate [3H]-thymidine. LD cultures incorporated 35SO4 into sulfated-proteoglycans at a higher rate than MD or LD cultures. The qualitative nature of the sulfated-proteoglycans synthesized at the different culture ages were analyzed by assessing the distribution of incorporated 35SO4 in associative and dissociative CsCl density gradients and by elution profiles on Sepharose CL-2B. Chondrocytes deposited into the extracellular matrix (cell-associated fraction) 35SO4-labeled proteoglycan aggregate. More aggregated proteoglycan was found in the MD and HD cultures than at LD. A 35SO4-labeled aggregated proteoglycan of smaller hydrodynamic size than that found in the cell-associated fraction was secreted into the culture medium at each culture age. The proteoglycan monomer (A1D1) of young and older cultures had similar hydrodynamic sizes at all cell culture ages and cell densities. The glycosaminoglycan chains of A1D1 were hydrodynamically larger in the younger LD cultures than in the older HD cultures and consisted of only chondroitin 6 and 4 sulfate chains. A small amount of chondroitin 4,6 sulfate was detected, but no keratan sulfate was measured. The A1D2 fractions of young LD cultures contained measurable amounts of dermatan sulfate; no dermatan sulfate was found in older MD or HD cultures. These studies indicated that chondrocytes at LD synthesized a proteoglycan monomer with many of the characteristics of young immature articular cartilage of rabbits. These results also indicated that rapidly dividing chondrocytes were capable of synthesizing proteoglycans which form aggregates with hyaluronic acid. Culture age and cell density appears primarily to modulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan types and chain length. Whether or not these glycosaminoglycans are found on the same or different core proteins remains to be determined. 相似文献

Enhanced sulfated-proteoglycan core protein synthesis by incubation of rabbit chondrocytes with recombinant transforming growth factor-beta 1 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Rabbit articular chondrocytes were incubated with recombinant transforming-growth-factor-beta 1 (rhTGF-beta 1) and its effect on newly synthesized proteoglycan measured. rhTGF-beta 1 stimulated proteoglycan synthesis at a concentration as low as 5 ng/ml without further increases in radiosulfate incorporation up to 50 ng/ml. The quantitative increase in radiosulfate incorporation in rh-TGF-beta 1-treated chondrocytes was greater in the cell-associated culture compartment than in the medium compartment. rhTGF-beta 1 promoted an increased proteoglycan retention in the cell-associated compartment as evidenced by an increase in the t1/2 of retention from 8 h to 11 h. Specific enhanced synthesis of [35S]-methionine-labeled core proteins was seen in rh-TGF-beta 1-treated chondrocytes. rh-TGF-beta 1 increased the synthesis of the 2 core proteins derived from hydrodynamically large proteoglycans. They possessed apparent molecular weights of greater than 480 kD and 390 kD after 3-5% acrylamide gel electrophoresis. A compartmental analysis revealed that the cell-associated culture compartment contained only the larger of the 2 core proteins derived from large proteoglycans. Two other core proteins with apparent molecular weights 52 kD and 46 kD were also stimulated by rhTGF-beta 1. These results indicated that TGF-beta probably plays a significant role in stimulating proteoglycan core protein synthesis in articular chondrocytes and therefore may be an important growth factor in the restoration of cartilage extracellular matrix after injury. 相似文献

Stimulation of sulfated-proteoglycan synthesis by forskolin in monolayer cultures of rabbit articular chondrocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Forskolin, a plant cardiotonic diterpene, stimulated proteoglycan biosynthesis by chondrocytes in monolayer culture. The quantitative increase in proteoglycans was dependent on the concentration of forskolin, but was relatively independent of the presence of serum. At forskolin concentrations that stimulated proteoglycan synthesis, a significant stimulation of adenylate cyclase and cAMP was also measured. The quantitative increase in proteoglycans was characterized, qualitatively, by an increased deposition of newly synthesized proteoglycan in the cell-associated fraction. An analysis of the most dense proteoglycans (fraction dA1) in the cell-associated fraction showed that more of the proteoglycans eluted in the void volume of a Sepharose CL-2B column, indicating that an increased amount of proteoglycan aggregate was synthesized in forskolin-treated cultures. The proteoglycan monomer dA1D1 secreted into the culture medium of forskolin-stimulated cultures overlapped in hydrodynamic size with that of control cultures, although cultures stimulated with forskolin and phosphodiesterase inhibitors produced even larger proteoglycans. The hydrodynamic size of 35SO4 and 3H-glucosamine-labelled glycosaminoglycans isolated from the dA1D1 fraction of the culture medium was greater in forskolin-treated chondrocytes, especially from those in which phosphodiesterase inhibitors had been added. These results indicated that forskolin, a direct activator of chondrocyte adenylate cyclase mimicked the effects of cAMP analogues on chondrocyte proteoglycan synthesis previously reported. These results implicate activation of adenylate cyclase as a regulatory event in the biosynthesis of cartilage proteoglycans, and more specifically in the production of hydrodynamically larger glycosaminoglycans. 相似文献

1. Proteoglycans were extracted from bovine nasal cartilage with 2.0M-CaC2 or with 0.15M-KCl followed by 2.0M-CaC2.. Proteoglycan fractions were prepared from the extracts by density-gradient centrifugation in CsCl under 'associative' and 'dissociative' conditions. 2. The heterogeneity of the proteoglycan fractions was investigated by large-pore-gel electrophoresis. It was concluded that extracts made with 2.0M-CaCl2 or sequential 2.0M-CaCl2 contain two major species of proteoglycan 'subunit' of different hydrodynamic size, together with proteoglycan aggregates. Both 'subunits' have mobilities that are greater than those of proteoglycans obtained from pig articular cartilage McDevitt & Muir (1971) Anal. Biochem. 44, 612-622] and are therefore probably smaller in size than the latter. 3. Proteoglycan fractions isolated from cartilage extracted lith 0.15M-KCl separated into two main components on large-pore-gel electrophoresis with mobilities greater than those of proteoglycans extracted with 2.0M-CaCl2. Proteoglycans extracted at low ionic strength from bovine nasal cartilage are of similar hydrodynamic size to those extracted from pig articular cartilage under the same conditions [McDevitt & Muir (1971) Anal. Biochem. 44, 612-622]. 4. The role of endogenous proteolytic enzymes in producing proteoglycan heterogeneity, particularly in low-ionic-strength cartilage extracts is discussed. 5. Hyaluronic acid and 'link proteins' were present in the proteoglycan fraction separated from KCl extracts as well as in the fraction separated from CaCl2 extracts. Hyaluronic acid can only be identified in proteoglycan fractions by large-pore-gel electrophoresis after proteolysis and further purification of the fraction. 6. Collagen was extracted by both salt solutions and was tentatively identified as type II. Small amounts of collagen appear to be associated with the proteoglycan-aggregate fraction from the high-ionic-strength extract but not with the corresponding fraction from the KCl extract. 相似文献

Proteoglycans were isolated by ion-exchange chromatography from the extracted cell layer and culture medium of human bone cell cultures following incubation in the presence of [35S]sulfate and [3H]leucine. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the synthesized proteoglycans consisted of at least five polydisperse species having median apparent Mr = 600,000, 400,000, 270,000, 135,000 and 40,000. When chromatographed further on octyl-Sepharose CL-4B, the proteoglycans of the cell layer resolved into three peaks. The unbound fraction (peak cell layer-I) contained a 40,000 species consisting of a single glycosaminoglycan chain with or without peptide. Peak cell layer-II contained three sulfated species on electrophoresis: a 600,000 species uniformly distributed across the peak, a 135,000 species enriched in the ascending limb (similar to bone PG-I as described previously), and a 270,000 species (similar to bone PG-I) enriched in the descending limb. Peak cell layer-III, eluting at 0.2% Triton X-100, was highly enriched in a 400,000 proteoglycan component. When media proteoglycans were chromatographed on octyl-Sepharose, two labeled peaks were found. Peak medium-I (unbound) contained a species exhibiting electrophoretic mobility similar to that of the 400,000 species present in peak cell layer-III. Peak II of the culture medium (medium-II) was apparently identical to that of peak cell layer-II, containing the 600,000, 270,000 and 135,000 species. No appreciable 40,000 species was observed in the medium. Treatment of the 600,000 species with either chondroitinase ABC or ACII generated a core protein preparation with bands of 390,000 and 340,000 on SDS gels. Neither the intact nor the chondroitinase ABC-treated 600,000 species was immunoprecipitated by a purified, polyclonal antiserum raised against the core protein of the large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan of human articular cartilage. Treatment of the 270,000 and 135,000 proteoglycans with chondroitinase ABC, but not ACII, generated a core protein preparation with bands of 52,000 and 49,000 on SDS gels, indicating that they were dermatan sulfate-containing species. The 400,000 species contained both heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, in approximately a 3:1 labeling ratio. This species changed in electrophoretic mobility following treatment with chondroitinase ABC, heparatinase, or both enzymes in combination, which suggested that it may be a hybrid proteoglycan (i.e. both types of glycosaminoglycan chain on the same core protein).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Kidneys were perfused with [35S]sulfate at 4 h in vitro to radiolabel sulfated proteoglycans. Glomeruli were isolated from the labeled kidneys, and purified fractions of glomerular basement membrane (GBM) were prepared therefrom. Proteoglycans were extracted from GBM fractions by use of 4 M guanidine-HCl at 4 degrees C in the presence of protease inhibitors. The efficiency of extraction was approximately 55% based on 35S radioactivity. The extracted proteoglycans were characterized by gel-filtration chromatography (before and after degradative treatments) and by their behavior in dissociative CsCl gradients. A single peak of proteoglycans with an Mr of 130,000 (based on cartilage proteoglycan standards) was obtained on Sepharose CL-4B or CL-6B. Approximately 85% of the total proteoglycans were susceptible to nitrous acid oxidation (which degrades heparan sulfates), and approximately 15% were susceptible to digestion with chondroitinase ABC (degrades chondroitin-4 and -6 sulfates and dermatan sulfate). The released glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains had an Mr of approximately 26,000. Density gradient centrifugation resulted in the partial separation of the extracted proteoglycans into two types with different densities: a heparan sulfate proteoglycan that was enriched in the heavier fraction (p greater than 1.43 g/ml), and a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that was concentrated in the lighter fractions (p less than 1.41). The results indicate that two types of proteoglycans are synthesized and incorporated into the GBM that are similar in size and consist of four to five GAG chains (based on cartilage proteoglycan standards). The chromatographic behavior of the extracted proteoglycans and the derived GAG, together with the fact that the two types of proteoglycans can be partially separated into the density gradient, suggest that the heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate(s) are located on different core proteins. 相似文献

Proteoglycans synthesized by chondrocytes of human nonarthritic and osteoarthritic cartilage 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Chondrocyte cultures were developed from the cell outgrowths of explanted human nonarthritic and osteoarthritic human cartilage. Two significant differences in sulfated proteoglycan synthesis were demonstrated between the chondrocytes obtained in this manner. With 35SO4 to measure newly synthesized proteoglycan, we found that chondrocytes derived from osteoarthritic cartilage secreted significantly less (P less than 0.05) high density proteoglycan into the culture medium than did chondrocytes from nonarthritic cartilage after 20 hr of radiolabeling. This reduced amount of high density proteoglycan was sustained when chondrocytes were maintained in unlabeled culture medium ("chase" medium). In addition, the osteoarthritic chondrocytes secreted an increased amount of low density proteoglycan when compared with their nonarthritic counterparts. The elution profile of secreted high density proteoglycan isolated from the osteoarthritic chondrocyte culture medium was assessed by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-2B and revealed the presence of two proteoglycan subpopulations (Kav, 0.25, 0.58), whereas only one proteoglycan series (Kav, 0.37) was seen in the high density fraction of nonarthritic chondrocyte culture medium. Similar gel filtration profiles were also obtained when chondrocytes were maintained in chase medium. The results of this study demonstrated that stable differences in proteoglycan synthesis, but not in intracellular processing, exist between nonarthritic and osteoarthritic chondrocytes. The findings are noteworthy in that these differences were not previously apparent when organ-cultured cartilage was used to assess putative alterations in proteoglycans between the two groups. 相似文献

Antibodies directed against whole bovine nasal-cartilage proteoglycan and against the hyaluronic acid-binding region and chondroitin sulphate peptides from the same molecule were used in immunodiffusion and immunoelectromigration experiments. Proteoglycans from bovine nasal and tracheal cartilage showed immunological identity, with all three antisera. Proteoglycans from pig hip articular cartilage, dog hip articular cartilage, human tarsal articular cartilage and rat chondrosarcoma reacted with all the antisera and showed immunological identity with the corresponding structures isolated from bovine nasal-cartilage proteoglycans. In contrast, proteoglycans from rabbit articular cartilage, rabbit nasal cartilage and cultured chick limb buds did not react with the antibodies directed against the hyaluronic acid-binding region, though reacting with antibodies raised against whole proteoglycan monomer and against chondroitin sulphate peptides. All the proteoglycans gave two precipitation lines with the anti-(chondroitin sulphate peptide) antibodies. Similarly, the proteoglycans reacting with the anti-(hyaluronic acid-binding region) antibodies gave two precipitation lines. The results indicate the presence of at least two populations of aggregating proteoglycan monomers in cartilage. The relative affinity of the antibodies for cartilage proteoglycans and proteoglycan substructures from various species was determined by radioimmunoassay. The affinity of the anti-(hyaluronic acid-binding region) antibodies for the proteoglycans decreased in the order bovine, dog, human and pig cartilage. Rat sternal-cartilage and rabbit articular-cartilage proteoglycans reacted weakly, whereas chick limb-bud and chick sternal-cartilage proteoglycans did not react. In contrast, the affinity of antibodies to chondroitin sulphate peptides for proteoglycans increased in the order bovine cartilage, chick limb bud and chick sternal cartilage, dog cartilage, rat chondrosarcoma, human cartilage, pig cartilage, rat sternal cartilage and rabbit cartilage. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to develop a method for fractionation of articular chondrocytes from the entire thickness of the tissue. Isolated chondrocytes from rabbit articular cartilage fractionated by centrifugation in a discontinuous Percoll gradient resulted in four cell fractions with two differing properties. The lowest-density fraction consisted mainly of large cells with small nuclei proliferated actively, maintained the chondrocytic phenotype, and secreted larger amounts of proteoglycan. In contrast, the highest-density fraction consisted of small cells with large nuclei proliferated slowly, did not express the chondrocytic phenotype, and produced larger amounts of interleukin 1-induced nitric oxide. Comparing our results with other previous reports, we find that fraction 1 cells are likely originated from the deep layer of the articular cartilage, whereas fraction 4 cells are tentatively categorized as chondrocytes from the superficial layer of cartilage. Centrifugal fractionation of articular chondrocytes via Percoll density gradient permits clear separation of these heterogeneous cells into different phenotypic populations and allows distinguishing of cells from the different layers of articular cartilage. This simple novel method will provide ready separation of articular chondrocytes for the investigation of the pathogenesis of articular cartilage. 相似文献
