Electron microscopic evaluation of the occurrence of matrix vesicles in cartilage

Troubled by variations in the descriptions of shape, appearance, and content of matrix vesicles and the conflicting reports of increased numbers of vesicles in the mineralizing regions of the growth plate contrasted with larger numbers in the resting zone, we embarked on a review of matrix vesicles in the growth plate using a comparison of different fixation techniques. We found matrix vesicles resembling cell debris at all levels of the growth plate, with no particular association with mineral. Lipid bodies surrounded by a membrane of proteoglycan have also been seen in large numbers. The cell debris–like matrix vesicles have been the common finding in reports of digested centrifuged cartilage and may represent cytoplasmic processes. Lipid bodies surrounded by proteoglycan may be similar to the membrane‐bound vesicle described by Ali (Fed. Proc., 35:135–142, 1987) and by Bonucci (Clin. Orthod., 78:108–133, 1971).
