The cell line, RCS-LTC (derived from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma), deposits a copious extracellular matrix in which the collagen component is primarily a polymer of partially processed type II N-procollagen molecules. Transmission electron microscopy of the matrix shows no obvious fibrils, only a mass of thin unbanded filaments. We have used this cell system to show that the type II N-pro-collagen polymer nevertheless is stabilized by pyridinoline cross-links at molecular sites (mediated by N- and C-telo-peptide domains) found in collagen II fibrils processed nor-mally | Eur.

Transmission electron microscopy of the matrix shows no obvious fibrils only a mass of thin unbanded filaments. We have used this cell system to show that the type II N-pro-collagen polymer nevertheless is stabilized by pyridinoline cross-links at molecular sites mediated by N- and C-telo-peptide domains found in collagen II fibrils processed normally. Retention of the N-propeptide therefore does not appear to interfere with the interactions needed to form cross-links and mature them into trivalent pyridinoline residues. In addition usingantibodies that recognize specific cross-linking domains it was shown that types X and XII collagens also abundantly deposited into the matrix by this cell line become covalently cross-linked to the type II N-procollagen. The results indicate that the assembly and intertype cross-linking of the cartilage type II collagen heteropolymer is an integral early process in fibril assembly and can occur efficiently prior to the removal of the collagen II N-propeptides. Keywords chondrocyte type II procollagen pyridinoline cross-links collagen fibril extracellular matrix. The collagen framework of the extracellular matrix of developinghyaline cartilaeg is assembled primarily from three cartilage-specific collagens type II type IX and type XI 1 . These three .
