Proteoglycans from osteoarthritic cartilage were compared with those from normal articular cartilage. Normal proteoglycan aggregates are larger in size and more homogeneous than those in osteoarthritis. Proteoglycan monomers from both sources gave two peaks on controlled pore glass-bead chromatography. Although the retarded material from normal cartilage showed an affinity for hyaluronate, the same material from osteoarthritic cartilage did not. The hyaluronate-binding capacity of the material which is partly in the void volume and partly retarded was similar in both types of cartilage. These results suggest that in osteoarthritic cartilage the proteoglycan aggregates are smaller and more heterogeneous and that the chondroitin sulphate side chains are shorter. They also indicate that there are two populations of proteoglycan, one with its hyaluronate-binding-protein region of core protein intact and the other either possessing an inactive binding region or totally lacking it.
