Inhibition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal formation in articular cartilage vesicles and cartilage by phosphocitrate.

چکیده
Articular cartilage vesicles (ACV), isolated by differential centrifugation of adult hyaline articular cartilage collagenase digests, mineralized in the presence of calcium and ATP. Mineral analysis by microscopy, chemical analysis, energy-dispersive analysis, and infrared spectroscopy revealed crystals resembling calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD). Adult articular cartilage also underwent ATP-dependent mineralization, supporting the contention that vesicles in situ fostered adult articular cartilage mineralization. Phosphocitrate (PC) is a recognized in vitro inhibitor of hydroxyapatite and calcium oxalate monohydrate crystal formation, but it is not known whether PC can similarly restrict CPPD crystal development. In the present study we examine the effect of PC, citrate, and n-sulfo-2-amino-tricarballylate (SAT, a PC analogue) on the ATP-induced CPPD crystal formation in both ACV and articular cartilage models. Only PC (10-1000 microM) blocked both the ATP-dependent and -independent mineralization in ACV in a dose-dependent fashion. At 1 mM, SAT and citrate blocked the ATP-independent mineralization. Similarly, only PC blocked both the ATP- and non-ATP-dependent mineralization in native articular cartilage slices. PC, SAT, and citrate had no effect on ACV nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase activity, suggesting that none of these agents blocked mineralization through the inhibition of nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase activity, which generates inorganic pyrophosphate from ATP.

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals are common components of osteoarthritic joints and correlate with a poor prognosis. Transglutaminase (Tgase) enzymes have been implicated in pathologic mineralization in cartilage; yet, definitive studies linking Tgase activity to CPPD crystal formation in osteoarthritic articular cartilage are lacking. We measured in-vivo Tgase activity in osteoa...

A study of epiphyseal cartilage calcification has clearly established that the first crystals of apatite that are found in the hypertrophic zone are found in matrix vesicles, in the longitudinal septa.' 2 Matrix vesicles are extracellular, membranous particles, about 100 nm in diameter, that are associated with calc...

Physiologic levels of extracellular PPi, which suppresses hydroxyapatite crystal growth, must be maintained by articular chondrocytes and resident cells in many othee tissues in order to prevent pathologic calcification. However, extracellular PPi rises in articular cartilage in direct association with aging. Matrix supersaturation with PPi stimulates chondrocalcinosis manifesting as calcium py...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Among the myriad of players in the calcification of cartilage, ANK is a relatively new entrant. It is a multipass transmembrane protein that regulates the transport of inorganic pyrophosphate between the cell and the extracellular space. Mutations in ANK result in two distinct calcification disorders: craniometaphyseal dysplasia and familial calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate dep...
