pubmed:abstractText
The chondrocyte pericellular matrix is an essential zone for cartilage matrix assembly and turnover. Electron micrographs of native endogenous and composition-defined exogenous pericellular matrices, both preserved via ruthenium hexaminetrichloride fixation procedures, depict strikingly similar networks of hyaluronan and proteoglycan extending out from the cell surface. Biochemical and morphological analyses of matrix regrowth show that monoclonal antibodies directed against the hyaluronan receptor CD44 blocked chondrocyte pericellular matrix assembly. Immunoperoxidase electron microscopy was used to display regular repeating spacing patterns of hyaluronan/proteoglycan assembly at the cell surface. These patterns compared well with the ultrastructural immunolocalization of CD44 at the cell surface. All of these data suggest that the hyaluronan receptor CD44 retains and participates in the assembly of the chondrocyte pericellular matrix.
