Partial biochemical and immunochemical characterization of avian eggshell extracellular matrices.

Abstract：

:There is evidence to suggest that extracellular matrix molecules, such as proteoglycans, are involved in the regulation of mineral deposition in calcifying tissues. One mineralizing system which is characterized by extremely rapid mineralization is the hen eggshell. This eggshell consists of a pair of nonmineralized eggshell membranes subjacent to the calcified eggshell proper; the eggshell proper is organized into palisades (columns) of mineralized matrix separated by pores. Between the membranes and the shell proper are compacted foci of tissue called mammillary knobs, which are thought to be sites where mineralization is initiated. Previous work from this laboratory has shown the presence of types I, V, and X collagen in the shell membranes. To address the question of the possible role of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans in mineralization of the eggshell, two approaches were used. First, immunohistochemistry was performed with monoclonal antibodies to various proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan epitopes. This analysis indicates that different glycosaminoglycans are localized to discrete regions within the eggshell. Dermatan sulfate is present within the matrix of the shell proper and, to a lesser extent, the mammillary knobs and the outer portion of the shell membranes. In contrast, keratan sulfate is found in the shell membranes and prominently in the mammillary knobs. Interestingly, different keratan sulfate antibodies immunostain distinct regions of the eggshell, which suggests that various types of keratan sulfate are distributed differently. The second approach utilized was to extract the eggshell membranes and recover anionic molecules by anion-exchange chromatography. This resulted in the extraction of material which was recognized by antibodies to keratan sulfate, but not to chondroitin sulfate. This material was very large, as evidenced by its elution in the void volume of a Sepharose CL-2B column. The large size may be due to the extensive cross-links known to occur in the eggshell. If eggshell membranes are extracted at elevated temperature, the material recovered is of much smaller size. These results indicate that molecules recognized by antibodies to glycosaminoglycans are present in the eggshell, and their localized distribution relative to the calcified matrix suggests that they may be involved in the regulation of mineral deposition.
