Extraction and purification of proteoglycans from mature bovine bone.

ABSTRACT: Proteoglycans were extracted in good yields from the mineralized matrix of ground bovine bone, by using a two-step extraction procedure. Proteoglycans (8% of total), not associated with the bone mineral, were extracted at - 20 degrees C with 4M-guanidinium chloride containing proteinase inhibitors. Proteoglycans associated with the mineral, which accounted for 60% of the total, were then solubilized when EDTA was added to the extraction solvent. They were fractionated and purified in the presence of 4M-guanidinium chloride by CsCl-density-gradient centrifugations followed by chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B. Further purification was obtained by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxyapatite in the presence of 7 M-urea. Three populations of proteoglycans and additional glycosaminoglycan peptides were obtained. The molecular dimensions of both intact molecules and of their side chains as well as their amino acid composition were different, indicating that they represent separate molecular entities. The main proteoglycan self-aggregated in the absence of 4M-guanidinium chloride or 7 M-urea, a property that was abolished when the proteoglycan core protein was fragmented.

Characterization of proteoglycans from the calcified matrix of bovine bone.

Project description:The proteoglycans characterized were those isolated from the calcified matrix of mature bovine bone [Franzén & Heinegård (1984) Biochem. J. 224, 47-58]. The average molecular mass of the bone proteoglycan is 74 600 Da, determined by sedimentation-equilibrium centrifugation in 4M-guanidinium chloride. Its sedimentation coefficient (s0(20),w) is 3.04 S. The apparent Mr of its core protein is 46 000, estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the chondroitinase ABC-digested proteoglycan. A more likely molecular mass of the core protein is 30 000 Da, as calculated from the molecular mass and the protein content (40%) of the proteoglycan. The bone proteoglycan contains one or probably two chondroitin sulphate chains each with a molecular mass (weight-average) of 33 700 Da and several oligosaccharides both of the N-glycosidically and the O-glycosidically linked type. Antibodies against the homogeneous bone proteoglycans were raised in rabbits. An e.l.i.s.a. (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method was developed that allowed specific quantification of bone proteoglycans at nanogram levels. The specificity of the antibodies was tested by using the e.l.i.s.a. method. The bone proteoglycan showed partial cross-reactivity with the small proteoglycan of cartilage. The antibodies were used to localize immunoreactivity of bone proteoglycans by indirect immunofluorescence in frozen sections of foetal bovine epiphysial growth plate. The fluorescence was entirely found in the primary spongiosa, and no fluorescence was found among the hypertrophied chondrocytes or in the region of provisional calcification.

Alveolar ridge regeneration of damaged extraction sockets using deproteinized porcine versus bovine bone minerals: A randomized clinical trial.

Project description:BackgroundsClinical benefits in bone grafting of intact extraction socket have been widely known, but limited evidence is available for the procedure in damaged extraction sockets due to periodontal disease.PurposeThis study aimed to determine the dimensional alteration of alveolar ridge following bone grafting of damaged extraction sockets, and compare the outcomes of using deproteinized bovine (DBBM) versus porcine bone mineral (DPBM) in the damaged sockets.Materials and methodsOne hundred patients (n = 50 for each group) with periodontitis-induced damaged extraction socket were included in this randomized, single-blind trial. After removal of tooth and granulation tissue, sites were grafted with either DBBM (DBBM group) or DPBM (DPBM group), and covered with collagen membrane. Linear/volumetric analyses of hard and soft-tissue dimensions were performed on reconstructed/superimposed computed tomography and scanned cast images, taken immediately and 4 months after surgery.ResultsThe two groups showed comparable hard tissue augmentation with minimal reductions in the grafted volume, as well as in vertical (1.22 ± 2.16 and 1.45 ± 1.92 mm for DPBM and DBBM group, respectively) and horizontal (1.43 ± 3.40 and 1.83 ± 2.85 mm on the central section, respectively) dimensions at 4 months after surgery. However, several cases showed large variations in maintenance of the grafted volume. None of the measured parameters in hard and soft tissue dimensions differed significantly between DBBM and DPBM sites.ConclusionsDBBM and DPBM can comparably augment damaged extraction sockets with minimal postoperative reduction of the grafted volume. However, the large variations in the results should be further evaluated for application in routine dental clinics.

Automated Quantum Dots Purification via Solid Phase Extraction.

Project description:The separation of colloidal nanocrystals from their original synthesis medium is an essential process step towards their application, however, the costs on a preparative scale are still a constraint. A new combination of approaches for the purification of hydrophobic Quantum Dots is presented, resulting in an efficient scalable process in regard to time and solvent consumption, using common laboratory equipment and low-cost materials. The procedure is based on a combination of solvent-induced adhesion and solid phase extraction. The platform allows the transition from manual handling towards automation, yielding an overall purification performance similar to one conventional batch precipitation/centrifugation step, which was investigated by thermogravimetry and gas chromatography. The distinct miscibility gaps between surfactants used as nanoparticle capping agents, original and extraction medium are clarified by their phase diagrams, which confirmed the outcome of the flow chemistry process. Furthermore, the solubility behavior of the Quantum Dots is put into context with the Hansen solubility parameters framework to reasonably decide upon appropriate solvent types.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of soybean mature glycinin A1bB2.

Project description:Glycinin is one of the most abundant storage-protein molecules in soybean seeds and is composed of five subunits (A1aB1b, A1bB2, A2B1a, A3B4 and A5A4B3). A1bB2 was purified from a mutant soybean cultivar containing glycinin composed of only A5A4B3 and A1bB2. At 281 K the protein formed hexagonal, rectangular and rod-shaped crystals in the first [0.1 M imidazole pH 8.0, 0.2 M MgCl?, 35%(v/v) MPD], second [0.1 M sodium citrate pH 5.6, 0.2 M ammonium acetate, 30%(v/v) MPD] and third (0.1 M phosphate-citrate pH 4.2, 2.0 M ammonium sulfate) crystallization conditions, respectively. X-ray diffraction data were collected to resolutions of 1.85, 1.85 and 2.5 Å from crystals of the three different shapes. The crystals belonged to space groups P6?22, P2? and P1, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 143.60, c = 84.54 Å, a = 114.54, b = 105.82, c = 116.67 Å, ? = 94.99° and a = 94.45, b = 94.96, c = 100.66 Å, ? = 107.02, ? = 108.44, ? = 110.71°, respectively. One, six and six subunits of A1bB2 were estimated to be present in the respective asymmetric units. The three-dimensional structure of the A1bB2 hexamer is currently being determined.

Interactions between bovine cornea proteoglycans and collagen.

Project description:Two types of proteoglycan subunits were obtained from bovine cornea, the first mainly composed of proteochondroitin sulphate and the second of proteokeratan sulphate. These two fractions can be obtained from the tissue as an aggregate, and are able to recombine each other after separation, to re-form the original structure. In order to investigate collagen-proteoglycan interactions, type-I collagen was isolated from bovine cornea by pepsin digestion followed by 3.5% (w/v) NaCl precipitation, and was then linked to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. Two identical columns were prepared, the first filled with collagen coupled to Sepharose 4B, the second with free Sepharose 4B. The two proteoglycan subunits and the aggregate were chromatographed on the two gels under the same conditions; the elution profiles showed that both the aggregate and the proteochondroitin sulphate subunit are retarded by the collagen coupled to Sepharose. No interaction, however, occurred when proteokeratan sulphate subunit was run through the columns. Chondroitinase digestion of the proteoglycan samples confirmed that chondroitin sulphate chains are mainly responsible for the interaction with collagen; their removal, in fact, completely abolishes any differences between the chromatographic behaviour on the collagen-Sepharose and the control columns.

Fractionation of proteoglycans from bovine corneal stroma.

Project description:Proteoglycans were extracted from bovine corneal stroma with 4M-guanidinum chloride, purified by DEAE-dellulose chromatography (Antonopoulos et al., 1974) and fractionated by precipitation with ethanol into three fractions of approximately equal weight. One of these fractions consisted of a proteoglycan that contained keratan sulphate as the only glycosaminoglycan. In the othertwo fractions proteoglycans that contained chondroitin sulphate, dermatan sulphate and keratan sulphate were present. Proteoglycans which had a more than tenfold excess of galactosaminoglycans over keratan sulphate could be obtianed by further subfractionation. The gel-chromatographic patterns of the glucosaminoglycans before and after digestion with chondroitinase AC differed for the fractions. The individual chondroitin sulphate chains seemed to be larger in cornea than in cartilage. Oligosaccharides, possibly covalently linked to the protein core of the proteoglycans, could be isolated from all fractions. The corneal proteoglycans were shown to have higher protein contents and to be of smaller molecular size than cartilage proteoglycans.

Novel contact-dependent bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling mediated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans.

Project description:We previously proposed a model that DALLY, a Drosophila glypican, acts as a trans co-receptor to regulate BMP signaling in the germ line stem cell niche. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of contact-dependent BMP signaling, we developed novel in vitro assay systems to monitor trans signaling using Drosophila S2 cells. Using immunoblot-based as well as single-cell assay systems, we present evidence that Drosophila glypicans indeed enhance BMP signaling in trans in a contact-dependent manner in vitro. Our analysis showed that heparan sulfate modification is required for the trans co-receptor activity of DALLY. Two BMP-like molecules, Decapentaplegic (DPP) and Glass bottom boat, can mediate trans signaling through a heparan sulfate proteoglycan co-receptor in S2 cells. The in vitro systems reflect the molecular characteristics of heparan sulfate proteoglycan functions observed previously in vivo, such as ligand specificity and biphasic activity dependent on the ligand dosage. In addition, experiments using a DALLY-coated surface suggested that DALLY regulates DPP signaling in trans by its effect on the stability of DPP protein on the surface of the contacting cells. Our findings provide the molecular foundation for novel contact-dependent signaling, which defines the physical space of the stem cell niche in vivo.
