Rib cartilage from growing guinea pigs and epiphyseal cartilage from Beagle puppie were separated into three fractions, representing non-mineralized, low mineralized, and high mineralized, tissue, by centrifuging finely ground material in acetone/bromoform density gradients. Following extraction under dissociative conditions, the proteoglycans were fractionated by density gradient ultracentrifugation under associative and dissociative conditions. With the onset of mineralization, the cartilage lost approximately half its content of proteoglycans. The proteoglycans remaining in the calcified cartilage differed in composition and in size from those of nonmineralized tissue. With the increased mineral content of the tissues the ratios of protein to polysaccharide, of chondroitin sulfate to keratan sulfate, and of 4-sulfated to 6-sulfated chondroitin sulfate increased in the proteoglycan fraction. Furthermore, gel chromatograms indicated decreased proportions of very high molecular weight proteoglycans, in mineralized tissue.
