## Objective: To evaluate the anabolic activity of osteoarthritic chondrocytes in situ by investigating the messenger rna (mrna) expression of 3 major cartilage components, type ii collagen, aggrecan, and link protein: ## Methods: In situ hybridization experiments and histochemical analysis for p
We have recently described a 550,000-dalton nomollagenous cartilage matrix glycoprotein (CMGP), with subunits of 130,000, which is present in hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. Biosynthetic studies indicated that CMGP was synthesized by short-term organ cultures of normal canine articular cartila
A new microspectrophotometric method was developed for quantitation of glycosaminoglycans with Safranin O dye in articular cartilage matrix. From histological sections molar extinction coefficient of Safranin O was determined and used to measure the dye content of the sections. The amount of glycosa
