Neutral peptidase activities in matrix vesicles from bovine fetal alveolar bone and dog osteosarcoma

Abstract: Extracellular matrix vesicles from bovine fetal alveolar bone and from a dog osteosarcoma were isolated by differential centrifugation and then fractionated on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient. The fractions were examined by electron microscopy and were analyzed for protein, alkaline phosphatase, aminotripeptidase, and four different beta-naphthylamidase activities. The low-density peak of enzyme activities was shown by electron microscopy to be much more homogeneous than the crude matrix vesicle fract… Show more

“…The annexin family of proteins, which function as membrane channels and are thought to be involved in active uptake of Ca 2þ into the MVs, have previously been described as important in MV function (Kirsch, 2005). Enzyme activity such as that associated with type IV collagenase (MMP-2), aminopeptidase A and N (zinc metalloproteases) and Neprilysin (CD10), a type II integral membrane glycoprotein and zinc metalloprotease, have also been described (Hirschman et al, 1983;Dean et al, Fig. 5.…”

“…In normal animals, the extracellular fluid bathing MVs contains homeostatically maintained levels of calcium and PO 4 sufficient to support continued nucleation of new HA crystals on preformed HA templates. Crystal perforation of the MV membranes would be augmented by phospholipases [31] and proteases [32] that are present within MVs. Propagation of mineral into the perivesicular matrix would be facilitated by metalloproteinases of MVs, which are capable of degrading mineralinhibiting proteoglycans [33].…”

“…Matrix vesicles have an active phospholipid metabolism which is regulated independently from that of the cell . Matrix vesicles also contain metalloproteinases capable of remodeling the extracellular matrix (Dean et al, 1992(Dean et al, , 1994Hirschman et al, 1983).…”
