In this study, we purified C-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (PICP) from the conditioned medium of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells by chromatographic and Agarose gel extraction procedures. PICP was confirmed to be present in bone by Western blotting using a specific antibody, and was proved to be synthesized by osteoblasts with metabolic labeling. PICP promoted cell-attachment of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. We conclude that PICP is synthesized by osteoblasts and stored in bone, and that it plays a role in the maintenance of bone cells on bone matrix.
