Demonstration by X-ray microprobe analysis of relationship between chondrocytes and tertiary surface structure of hyaline articular cartilage.

Blocks of hyaline cartilage from the femoral condyles of five young adult beagles dogs were quench-frozen in nitrogen slush at 63 K. The free cartilage surfaces of blocks from three animals were examined in the secondary electron mode; the remaining specimens were cut by cryoultramicrotone (approximately 188 K) tangential to the surface to expose midzone cartilage which was examined in the backscattered electron mode. A random array of gently convex prominences was apparent at the free cartilage surfaces. When X-ray emissions were recorded from tissue immediately below these elevations, the spectra proved to be similar to those derived from midzone chondrocytes. These spectra revealed high count rates for the X-rays characteristic of P and K. By contrast, in areas of free surface remote from these prominences, and in midzone intercellular matrix, larger count rates for the X-rays characteristic of Na, S. Cl and Ca were detected. The evidence supports the hypothesis that the elevations seen on the non-loaded articular cartilage of disarticulated mammalian synovial joints are the surface representations of superficial chondrocytes.
