RESUMO
The synthesis of a new low-molecular-weight collagen by cultured chicken embryo chondrocytes has been recently demonstrated (Capasso et al., Exp. Cell Res. 142:197-206, 1982; Gibson et al., J. Cell Biol. 93:767-774, 1982; Schmid and Conrad, J. Biol. Chem. 257:12444-12450, 1982). In this paper we report results on the location of chondrocytes synthesizing this new collagen (64K collagen) in the developing chicken embryo. The 64K collagen is synthesized in very large amounts by cells concentrated at the diaphysis of 9-day-old and at the epiphysis of 17-day-old embryo tibiae. These regions are characterized by a remodeling of the cartilage matrix leading to the replacement of the cartilage with bone tissue; therefore, this collagen appears to be a marker of a specific developmental stage of chondrocytes. The origin of cells competent for the synthesis of the 64K collagen is also discussed.
