Osteoarthrosis was induced in one knee joint of dogs by an established surgical procedure. Changes in the articular cartilage in the biosynthesis of collagen and other proteins were sought by radiochemical labeling in vivo. Collagen synthesis was stimulated in all cartilage surfaces of the experimental joints at 2, 8 and 24 wk after surgery. Systemic labeling with [3H]proline showed that over 10 .times. more collagen was deposited per dry weight of experimental cartilage compared to control cartilage in the unoperated knee. Type II collagen was the radiolabeled product in all samples of experimental cartilage ranging in quality from undamaged to overtly fibrillated. It was the only collagen detected chemically in the matrix of osteoarthrotic cartilage from dog or human joints. Hydroxylysine glycosylation was examined in the newly synthesized cartilage collagen by labeling dog joints in vivo with [3H]lysine. In experimental knees the new collagen was less glycosylated than in controls. No difference in glycosylation of the total collagen in the tissues was observed by chemical analysis. Over half the protein-bound tritium was extracted by 4 M guanidinium chloride from control cartilage labeled with [3H]proline, compared to 1/4 or less from experimental cartilage. Of the extracted tritium, 2/3 separated in the upper fraction on density-gradient centrifugation in CsCl under associative conditions. Much of this ran with a single protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions. The identity of this protein was unknown, although it resembled serum albumin in mobility after disulfide bond cleavage.
