Cortisone induced alterations of costal cartilage in single and in parabiosed rats.

Abstract：

:Cortisone-treated Buffalo rats have been parabiosed with untreated controls of the same age. The optical and electron microscopy, including histochemistry, of costal cartilage of these rats has been compared with that in single cortisone treated rats, single controls, and control parabiosed with control rats, at 14 and 28 days after parabiosis. Single cortisone-treated rats, in comparison to controls, have shown the greatest alteration in cellular morphology and in the extracellular matrix both at 14 and at 28 days. Cortisone-treated parabiosed rats demonstrate a gradation of these alterations. Cellular alterations include enhancement of lipid and glycogen deposition concrurently with the presence of numerous large cytoplasmic vacuoles containing beaded irregularly-shaped filaments, banded or unbanded collagen-like fibrils, and/or electron dense lamellar bodies. In the extracellular matrix, matrix vesicles, amianthoid fibers, randomly oriented unbanded fibrillar materials, and filament-like materials are most prominent in the single cortisone-treated rats and they are progressively less prominent in the cortisone-treated parabiosed rats, and in the parabiosed and single controls. Calcification of the extracellular matrix follows a similar pattern and is observed initially in pericellular halos of the single cortisone and in cortisone-treated rats parabiosed with controls. Histochemical techniques have shown that chondroitin sulfate is less demonstrable in the single cortisone and in the cortisone-treated parabiosed rats than it is in the single or parabiosed controls at 14 days but, at 28 days, all untreated or treated rats, single or parabiosed are basically comparable. Glycoproteins are prominent in the single cortisone-treated rats both at 14 and at 28 days and, at these same times, they are progressively less prominent in the cortisone-treated parabiosed rats and in the single or parabiosed controls. Many of the cortisone induced alterations in costal cartilage are suggestive of enhancement of the aging process.
