Calcium accumulation by chondrocyte mitochondria.

I M Shapiro, N H Lee

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Mitochondria in chick growth plates utilize ATP for calcium uptake, a process inhibited by certain compounds. Skeletal mitochondria bind more calcium than non-calcifying tissues, but no specific mitochondrial type is responsible for this transport.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Mitochondrial Function

    Background:

    • Epiphyseal plate mitochondria play a role in calcium regulation during bone development.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of calcium transport in these mitochondria is crucial for comprehending skeletal mineralization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the energy-dependent calcium (Ca++) uptake by chick epiphyseal plate mitochondria.
    • To characterize the role of ATP and respiratory substrates in mitochondrial calcium accumulation.
    • To explore the potential involvement of specific mitochondrial populations in cation transport.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro observation of chick epiphyseal plate mitochondria.
    • Measurement of Ca++ uptake in the presence of ATP, other nucleotides, and respiratory substrates.
    • Assessment of Ca++ accumulation sensitivity to 2,4-DNP and respiratory inhibitors (rotenone, antimycin A).
    • Isopycnic centrifugation to analyze Ca++ loaded mitochondria.

    Main Results:

    • Energy-dependent Ca++ uptake was maximal with ATP and a respiratory substrate.
    • Non-ATP nucleotides did not influence cation uptake.
    • Ca++ accumulation was sensitive to 2,4-DNP and respiratory inhibitors, suggesting a conserved transport mechanism.
    • Skeletal tissue mitochondria bound more Ca++ than non-calcifying tissue mitochondria under non-energy supported conditions.
    • Ca++ loaded mitochondria showed similar affinity across different density bands after centrifugation.

    Conclusions:

    • Mitochondrial calcium uptake in chick epiphyseal plates is primarily an energy-dependent process mediated by ATP.
    • The mechanism of calcium accumulation shares similarities with non-mineralizing tissues.
    • No specific mitochondrial subpopulation appears to be exclusively responsible for cation transport in these mitochondria.
