Objective: To determine the role of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF beta) in early calcium pyrophosphate formation by measuring its effects on articular chondrocyte matrix Vesicle (MV) formation, specific activity of the inorganic pyrophosphate(PPi)-generating enzyme nucleoside triphosphate pyrophospho-hydrolase (NTPPPH) and biomineralization capacity.Methods: MV elaborated from mature porcine chondrocyte monolayers +/- TGF beta were compared for protein content, NTPPPH activity, and ATP-dependent biomineralization. Precipitation of calcium pyrophosphate mineral phases by MV was determined by a radiometric assay and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).Results: MV from monolayers exposed to TGF beta were enriched in NTPPPH activity compared to MV from control monolayers (P
