Biogenesis of matrix vesicles in cartilage growth plates
Abstract
Although the structure and function of cartilage matrix vesicles have been comprehensively documented in the literature, the method of vesicle production and export to the extra-cellular matrix is less well understood. The existing data are grouped into four general hypotheses of matrix vesicle biogenesis, with a consideration of the relative merits and weaknesses of each postulate. The hypotheses are: a) budding from cellular processes; b) extrusion of preformed structures; c) cellular degeneration and disintegration; and c)subunit secretion and extracellular assembly. Each of these possibilities offers conceptual advantages and disadvantages, so that it is difficult to adopt a monistic stance. Previous notions of vesicle biogenesis have derived from statis morphologic and analytical data, which are necessarily limiting when attempting to draw kinetic conclusions. Radiotracer studies of lipid synthesis and transport in cartilage lead to the conclusion that matrix vesicles in the growth plate are derived from chondrocytes; the present data favor the hypotheses of budding from cellular processes and/or subunit secretion with extracellular self-assembly.
