Effect of different phospholipid-cholesterol membrane compositions on liposome-mediated formation of calcium phosphates

Summary The present report compares the effects of different membrane phospholipid (PL)-cholesterol compositions on the kinetics of liposome-mediated formation of calcium phosphates from metastable solutions (2.25 mM CaCl₂; 1.5 mM KH₂PO₄) at 22°C, pH 7.4 and 240 mOsm. In most experiments, the liposomes were composed of 7:2:X mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC), neutral or acidic phospholipids, and cholesterol (Chol, X=0, 10, 35, or 50 mol%). The neutral phospholipids (NPL) examined, in addition to PC, were phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and sphingomyelin (Sph), and the acidic phospholipids (APL) examined were dicetylphosphate (DCP), dioleolylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG), dioleolylphosphatidic acid (DOPA), phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). The 7:2:X liposomes did not initiate mineralization in metastable external solutions per se or, with the exception of DOPA, show extensive Ca-PL binding. However, solution Ca²⁺ losses due to precipitation occurred when the liposomes were encapsulated with 50 mM KH₂PO₄ and made permeable to external Ca²⁺ with X-537A. The extent of these Ca²⁺ losses was sensitive to both the phospholipid and Chol makeup of the membrane. Moderate-to-extensive intraliposomal precipitation occurred in all 7PC:2APL and 7PC:2NPL liposomes containing 0 or 10 mol% Chol. In contrast, at 50 mol% Chol, mineralization inside all liposomes was negligible. The only significant discriminating effect on internal mineralization among the different phospholipids was observed at 35 mol% Chol, where mineral accumulations ranged from negligible to moderate. At 0 or 10 mol% Chol, extraliposomal precipitation was extensive in all but DOPA- and PS-containing liposomes. However, onece intraliposomal yields declined at the higher Chol levels, external mineralization was either delayed or totally blocked in all liposome preparations. Other experiments showed that Sph substituted for PC in 7NPL:2DCP:1Chol liposomes totally blocked both intra- and extraliposomal precipitaiton. PE substituted in this manner, however, blocked only extraliposomal precipitation. The results of this study suggest that interference of the membrane transport processes controlling intraliposomal precipitation [15] by high (50 mol%) Chol levels is not significantly compromised by the specific APL or NPL incorporated in the membrane. Similarly, the data suggest that Chol does not directly affect the specfic interactions of the different membrane APLs with the mineral phase. On the other hand, the substitution of other NPLs for PC can affect the role of APLs such as DCP in liposome-mediated mineralization.     

The Domain of Hypertrophic Chondrocytes in Growth Plates Growing at Different Rates

In this study, we tested the hypotheses that (a) both the domain volume (volume of the cell and the matrix it has formed) and matrix volume of juxtametaphyseal hypertrophic chondrocytes in the growth plate is tightly controlled, and that (b) the domain volume of juxtametaphyseal hypertrophic chondrocytes is a strong determinant of the rate of bone length growth. We analyzed the rate of bone length growth (oxytetracycline labeling techniques) and nine stereologic and kinetic parameters related to the juxtametaphyseal chondrocytic domain in the proximal and distal radial and tibial growth plates of 21- and 35-day-old rats. The domain volume increased with increasing growth rates, independent of the location of the growth plate and the age of the animal. Within age groups, the matrix volume per cell increased with increasing growth rates, but an identical growth plate had the same matrix volume per cell in 21- and 35-day-old rats. The most suitable regression model (R ²= 0.992) to describe the rate of bone length growth included the mean volume of juxtametaphyseal hypertrophic chondrocytes and the mean rate of cell loss/cell proliferation. This relationship was independent of the location of the growth plate and the age of the animal. The data suggest that the domain volume of juxtametaphyseal hypertrophic chondrocytes, as well as the matrix volume produced per cell, may be tightly regulated. In addition, the volume of juxtametaphyseal hypertrophic chondrocytes and the rate of cell loss/rate of cell proliferation may play the most important role in the determination of the rate of bone length growth.

Matrix Vesicles Promote Mineralization in a Gelatin Gel

Extracellular matrix vesicles (MVs) are associated with initial calcification in a variety of tissues, but the mechanisms by which they promote mineralization are not certain. In this study, MVs isolated from fourth passage rat growth plate chondrocyte cultures were included within a gelatin gel into which calcium and phosphate ions diffused from opposite ends. In this gel, apatite formation occurs by 3.5 days in the absence of mineralization promoters, allowing measurement of the ability of different factors to ``nucleate' apatite before this time or to assess the effects of molecules which modulate the rate and extent of mineral deposition. Mineral ion accumulation and crystal type are assayed at 5 days. In this study, MV protein content in the central band of a 10% gelatin gel was varied by including 100 μl of a Tris-buffered solution containing 0–300 μg/ml MV protein. There was a concentration-dependent increase in mineral accretion. Whereas 10 μg MV protein in the gel did not significantly promote apatite formation as compared with vesicle-free gels, 20 and 30 μg MV protein in the gel did promote apatite deposition. Inclusion of 10 mM β-glycerophosphate in the gels, along with MVs, did not significantly increase apatite formation despite the demonstrable alkaline phosphatase activity of the MVs. In contrast, MVs at all concentrations significantly increased apatite accumulation when proteoglycan aggregates or ATP, inhibitors of apatite formation and proliferation, were included in the gel. Slight increases in calcium, but not phosphate accumulation, were also noted when an ionophore was included with the MVs to facilitate Ca ion transport into the vesicles. FT-IR analysis of the mineral formed in the vesicle-containing gels revealed the presence of a bone-like apatite. These data suggest that MVs facilitate mineralization by providing enzymes that modify inhibitory factors in the extracellular matrix, as well as by providing a protected environment in which mineral ions can accumulate.

Matrix vesicles are enriched in metalloproteinases that degrade proteoglycans

Summary This study examined the presence of extracellular matrix processing enzymes in matrix vesicles produced by rat costochondral resting zone and growth zone chondrocytes in culture. Optimum procedures for the extraction of each enzyme activity were determined. Enzyme activity associated with chondrocyte plasma membrane microsomes was used for comparison. There was a differential distribution of the enzyme activities related to the cartilage zone from which the cells were isolated. Acid and neutral metalloproteinase (TIMP), plasminogen activator, and betaglucuronidase were highest in the growth zone chondrocyte (GC) membrane fractions when compared with matrix vesicles and plasma membranes isolated from resting zone chondrocyte (RC) cultures. There was a threefold enrichment of total and active acid metalloproteinase in GC matrix vesicles, whereas no enrichment in enzyme activity was observed in RC matrix vesicles. Total and active neutral metalloproteinase were similarly enriched twofold in GC matrix vesicles. TIMP, plasminogen activator, and betaglucuronidase activities were highest in the plasma membranes of both cell types. No collagenase, lysozyme, or hyaluronidase activity was found in any of the membrane fractions. The data indicate that matrix vesicles are selectively enriched in enzymes which degrade proteoglycans. The highest concentrations of these enzymes are found in matrix vesicles produced by growth zone chondrocytes, suggesting that this may be a mechanism by which the more differentiated cell modulates the matrix for calcification.

高压氧治疗对脑梗死患者血清基质金属蛋白酶-9的影响

目的探讨高压氧（HBO）治疗后急性脑梗死患者血清基质金属蛋白酶-9（MMP-9）水平的动态变化及其与临床疗效的关系。方法选取首次发病的24h以内的颈内动脉系统急性脑梗死患者76例，分为高压氧治疗组（HBO组，36例）和常规治疗组（常规组，40例）。常规组仅给予常规治疗，HBO组在常规治疗基础上加用HBO治疗。30例年龄、性别与脑梗死患者相匹配的健康人为健康对照组（正常对照组）。采用酶联免疫吸附双抗体夹心法测定脑梗死患者入院时、发病后第3、5、10天以及正常对照组血清MMP-9。所有患者于入院时和治疗后10d、1个月进行神经功能缺损评分，评价HBO组和常规组之间的疗效差异。结果（1）与正常对照组比较，HBO组和常规组入院时血清MMP-9的浓度均明显增高，差异有统计学意义（P〈0.01），但后二者之间差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。与治疗前相比，常规组和HBO组血清MMP-9水平均呈现先增高后降低的动态变化趋势，3d时达高峰，在治疗后3、5d时HBO组血清MMP-9浓度低于同期常规组（P〈0．05）。（2）治疗1个月后，神经功能缺失评分HBO组明显低于常规组；HBO组疗效优于常规组（P〈0．05）。（3）脑梗死患者神经功能缺损评分减少值与患者发病后第3天之血清MMP-9水平呈显著负相关。结论HBO治疗能降低脑梗死患者升高的血清MMP-9浓度，减轻神经功能缺失程度，其临床疗效可能与降低患者血清MMP-9的浓度有关。
