Chondrocytes exposed to nitric oxide (NO) or antibody to Fas undergo cell death by apoptosis. This study examines structural and functional properties of chondrocyte-derived apoptotic bodies. In NO treated cartilage, the dense pericellular matrix that normally surrounds the cells is degraded and apoptotic bodies accumulate within and in the vicinity of the chondrocyte lacunae. Functional analysis shows that apoptotic bodies isolated from NO-treated chondrocytes or cartilage produce pyrophosphate. The levels of pyrophosphate produced by apoptotic bodies are increased by pretreatment of the chondrocytes with transforming growth factor beta and decreased by interleukin 1. Apoptotic bodies contain alkaline phosphatase and NTP pyrophosphohydrolase activities and can precipitate calcium. These results suggest that chondrocyte-derived apoptotic bodies express functional properties that may contribute to the pathologic cartilage calcification observed in aging and osteoarthritis.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
