Hydroxyapatite formation was monitored in a denatured collagen gel system through which calcium and phosphate solutions circulated at a constant rate from an “infinite reservoir”. With the use of 10% gelatin gels, 2-6 mL in volume, the diffusion coefficients for calcium and phosphate were 6.0 X10-6 and 3.9 X 10-6 cm2/s, respectively. In the absence of any other macromolecules, hydroxyapatite formation was detectable in the 3-mL gels at a point 1.54±0.02 mL (3.08 cm) from the end through which the calcium solution was being circulated after 5.5±0.5 days. At this time point the observed calcium and phosphate content adjacent to the centralprecipitant band was 37 mM2. The presence of hydroxyapatite was verified by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and chemical analyses. Inclusionof 0.1 mL of lathyritic type I collagen fibers (1 mg/mL) or synthetic complexed acidic phospholipids (0.3-1.2 mg/mL) at the site where mineralization occurred in control gels decreased the time required for the formation of the first observable mineral deposit. The lipids increased the amount of mineralformed relative to the control gels atday 5. Inclusion of 0.1 mL of 4-10 mg/mL articular cartilage proteoglycan aggregate or monomer preparations prevented mineral deposition during the 5-day period. Hydroxyapatite seeds (0.5-5 mg/mL) included in the 0.1-mL central band proliferated, showing highly reproducible, detectable increases in mineral content at 2-6 days. The advantages of this unique dynamic gel system for the study of hydroxyapatite formation and/or proliferation in the presence of other macromolecules include reproducibility and the need for only smallamounts of macromolecules.
