Mucopolysaccharides and mucoproteins of calf scapula
@article{Lindenbaum2005MucopolysaccharidesAM, title={Mucopolysaccharides and mucoproteins of calf scapula}, author={Arthur Lindenbaum and Klaus E. Kuettner}, journal={Calcified Tissue Research}, year={2005}, volume={1}, pages={153-165} }
In the ossifying calf scapula the sharp division between cartilage and bone was found to allow collection of nearly unlimited quantities of both cartilage and bone in any desired stage of the transformation process. The mucopolysaccharides (MPS) of all zones consist mainly of galactosaminoglycans of the chondroitin sulfate A and C type. The highest concentration of MPS and mucoproteins (MP) was found in the 2 mm-wide cartilage zone adjacent to the bone. Significant differences among cartilage…

A significant rise in lysozyme concentration was found toward the ossification front in scapular cartilage as was a sharp drop in new bone as the animal matured and the growth rate of bone decreased.

The localizations of resistant proteoglycans (RPGs) in the epiphyseal plates of rats, dogs, and humans are similar, but calcified cartilage RPGs stain more intensely with toluidine blue and may represent a different type of RPGs.

A dissection procedure has been devised to permit zonal analysis of the epiphyseal plate of fetal calf leg bones for their content of electrolyte and organic constituents, as well as for density, ash and moisture, which showed that as ash content and density increased, water content decreased.

The concept that lysozyme may have a functional role in either osteogenesis, chondrogenesis, or calcification is supported, as well as the fact that the distribution of these changes appears to be the same as that of the gross darkening effect.

Data obtained by the CPC microfractionation procedure indicated similar distribution according to molecular weight and/or charge density for extractable and unextractable chondroitin sulphate in nasal septum cartilage and in resting and columnar zones of epiphyseal growth plate, suggesting a stronger binding of proteoglycans within the tissue.

The data obtained from this study do not indicate sufficient differences between the chemical composition and calcium affinity of proteinpolysaccharides from “resting” and “ossifying” scapular cartilage to account for the calcium uptake in the “passive” zone.

The results indicate that AMPS are synthesized and secreted mainly by hypertrophic chondrocytes in the premineralizing zone and within the matrix at the mineralization front the AMPS complexes are apparently degraded by lysosomal enzymes to yield a highly anionic fraction which is maintained in the matrix.

Bone contains glycoproteins, acidic lipids and peptides which could have a potential function in nucleation, ion-transport and control in calcification processes, and cartilage contains similar lipids are present; glycoproteinins may be inferred from the sialic acid content; the presence of peptides is not yet known.

The observation, which shows that lysozyme, when added to cartilage, accumulates in specific anatomic sites suggests that it chemically interacts with specific components of cartilage matrix, presumably with negatively charged macromolecules.
