Structural differences between cell matrix and culture medium N-linked oligosaccharides on heavy proteochondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (PCS-H)
Tibial chondrocytes were labeled metabolically with /sup 3/H-man and the PCS-H was isolated from the culture medium (CM) and the cell matrix (Ma) pools. Equal amounts of /sup 3/H were incorporated into the PCS-H of the CM and Ma pools. The PCS-H pools were digested with thermolysin, Chondroitinase, and then N-glycanase, and the N-linked oligosaccharides were chromatographed on Con-A Sepharose. The ratios of complex to high mannose oligosaccharides for the CM and Ma were 6.1 and 2.6, respectively. More than 60% of the complex CM N-linked oligosaccharides were charged species whereas only 40% of the Ma N-linked oligosaccharides were charged. The oligosaccharides were analyzed by HPLC. Both complex and high mannose oligosaccharides found in the PCS-H of the CM and Ma pools were mixtures of identical structures but the amounts of each structure in the two pools showed marked differences. These observations indicate that distinct PCS-H species are found in the CM and Ma pools.
