The high-buoyant-density proteoglycans of the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of the beagle intervertebral disc have been isolated by CsCl density gradient ultracentrifugation. The sulphated proteoglycans were labelled in vivo with 35SO4, 24 h and 60 days prior to killing. The hydrodynamic size and aggregation of the 24 h, 60 day and resident (from hexuronic acid and hexosamine analysis) proteoglycan subunit populations were determined by Sepharose CL-2B chromatography in the presence or absence of excess hyaluronic acid. The hydrodynamic size of the keratan sulphate-proteoglycan core protein complexes were also determined by Sepharose CL-2B chromatography after chondroitinase ABC digestion of proteoglycans. When initially synthesised (24 h) or after 60 days, the percentage aggregation and hydrodynamic size of the proteoglycans derived from the annulus fibrosus were larger than those present in the nucleus pulposus. Hexosamine, hexuronic and protein determination of the high-buoyant-density fractions showed that the proteoglycans of the nucleus pulposus were richer in chondroitin sulphate than those in the annulus. However there was no difference in Mr of the chondroitin sulphate and keratan sulphate attached to the proteoglycans of the two disc regions, nor were differences detected by HPLC between the proportions of chondroitin 4-sulphate and chondroitin 6-sulphate present in these high-density fractions. In contrast, the low-buoyant-density (1.54 greater than p greater than 1.45) proteoglycan fractions and tissue residues remaining after 4 M GuHCl extraction were found to contain dermatan sulphate, suggesting the presence of a third proteoglycan species possibly associated with the collagen of the fibrocartilagenous matrix.
