Cultured growth cartilage cells.

Y Shimomura, F Suzuki

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Growth cartilage cells exhibit osteogenic potential with host cell support, unlike resting cartilage cells. Hormonal and cellular interactions influence their matrix synthesis and mineralization.

    Area of Science:

    • Cell Biology
    • Skeletal Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Growth cartilage (GC) and resting cartilage (RC) cells differ in their biological functions and potential.
    • Understanding the factors influencing chondrocyte differentiation and osteogenesis is crucial for skeletal development and repair.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the osteogenic potential of GC and RC cells in vitro and in vivo.
    • To elucidate the roles of hormones, growth factors, and cellular interactions in cartilage matrix formation and mineralization.
    • To identify specific cell surface markers for osteogenic chondrocytes.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation and culture of rat GC and RC cells.
    • Assessment of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity.
    • Hormonal and growth factor treatments (e.g., PTH, cartilage-derived factor [CDF]).
    • Co-culture experiments with bone marrow cells.
    • Flow cytometry (FACS II) using anti-GC antibodies for cell sorting.

    Main Results:

    • Cultured GC cells demonstrated osteogenic potential with host cell participation, while RC cells did not.
    • GC cells exhibited distinct GAG synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity compared to RC cells under various treatments.
    • Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was linked to polyamine metabolism, increasing GAG synthesis in chondrocytes.
    • Cartilage-derived factor (CDF) significantly enhanced GAG, protein, RNA, and DNA synthesis and cell division.
    • GC cells formed matrix vesicles in vitro; co-culture with bone marrow cells led to GAG degradation and hydroxyapatite crystal formation.
    • FACS sorting identified GC antigen-positive cells with characteristics similar to cultured GC cells.

    Conclusions:

    • Growth cartilage cells possess inherent osteogenic potential modulated by cellular microenvironments and specific molecular signals.
    • Hormonal regulation (PTH) and growth factors (CDF) play significant roles in chondrocyte matrix production and differentiation.
    • Matrix vesicle formation and subsequent mineralization are key events in the osteogenic process initiated by GC cells.
    • Cell surface markers can be utilized to isolate and characterize osteogenic chondrocytes for further study.
